"I don't understand what you're saying." Wendy looked up at Beryl in astonishment, wondering how he knew what she was thinking. Could he read minds, or had he already figured out the situation between her and Nicole?
"Do you know what's been going on between Nicole and Colton?"
Beryl didn't take the bait, posing the question back to Wendy instead.
"Uh, isn't it just about Nicole being with Zachary now? She divorced Colton, right?" Wendy spoke confidently.
Beryl raised an eyebrow, giving Wendy a deep look, and then simply nodded without saying anything.
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief; from now on, she couldn't let herself think about irrelevant matters when around Beryl. Otherwise, he might eventually guess all the things on her mind.
"Alright, it's getting late. I'm going back to rest." Once Wendy made up her mind, she surveyed her surroundings, not wanting to stay any longer. She got up, feigning sleepiness.
Beryl glanced at Wendy's exaggerated actions but didn't expose her. He quietly replied, "Okay."
When Wendy stole a glance at Beryl, she noted that he was engrossed in something on his phone. She seized the opportunity to make her exit while planning to text Nicole to inquire about the child.
The door was closed, and the room fell into silence. In the dimly lit room, only the glow of a phone screen illuminated the space. Beryl found the screen too bright and simply turned off the phone, tossing it aside.
Back in the country, things were progressing as planned, though Beryl was uncertain whether Ryan might do something unexpected, for example, suddenly heeding Kendrick's words.
Back in her room, Wendy clutched her phone, pacing around. Should I ask Nicole or not? Is Nicole even awake at this hour? She is pregnant and should probably be asleep by now.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone was persistently knocking on her door.

The readers' comments on the novel: Right Person, Wrong Time
What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
