Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1381

Chapter 1381 Worry

Nicole listened to the advice of those around her and headed toward the research center to look for Chloe. She had intended to go to the center anyway.

Anxious, she hurried toward the center, repeatedly calling Chloe's phone. Just like before, Chloe didn't pick up.

Meanwhile, at a bar near the research center…

"I'm curious why you wanted to meet me," Chloe said coldly, staring at the unfamiliar man before her. She had never seen this man before, yet he seemed to know a lot about Nicole and Colton, even details about them that were more private.

This included the incident where Evelyn had poisoned Nicole.

Beryl, eyeing the woman in front of him who was wary and vigilant against him. Suppressing a smile, he spoke slowly. "I invited you out simply because I wanted to learn more about Nicole from your perspective."

After careful consideration, he realized that directly approaching Nicole might not be the best idea. Given her pregnancy, it could be unwise to stress her out. So, he decided to approach someone close to her.

"What do you mean? Sir, I don't know you. If you want to know about Nicole, I suggest you talk to her directly. I'm sure she knows better about her matters," Chloe replied, her brow furrowing slightly. This man must have learned about her relationship with Nicole to be so bold.

She detested people who invaded others' privacy like this.

"Miss Yelton, there's no need to be so guarded. If you're going to be like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to continue our conversation." Beryl sighed, somewhat frustrated. Did he really come across as that much of a villain?

Nicole listened to the advice of those around her and headed toward the research center to look for Chloe. She had intended to go to the center anyway.

But then again, he realized, if a stranger he'd never met before suddenly approached him asking about his best friend, he would probably be wary too.

"Sorry, but I have nothing to say to you," Chloe retorted before picking up her belongings and heading for the exit.

Beryl watched her leave, a faint smile playing on his lips. Indeed, without Colton and Nicole connecting them, there wasn't much to talk about between them.

Still, he thought that while Chloe might have evaded this situation, there might not be another similar opportunity in the future.

Beryl's gaze lingered on the disappearing figure around the corner.

As Chloe stepped out of the bar, she suddenly realized how worried Nicole must be. She pulled out her phone and found numerous missed calls and messages.

"Chloe!"
