Colton suddenly had the urge to ask Nicole who the child belonged to. He remembered her helpless gaze at the hospital back then. When he mistreated her, she wanted to say something to stand up for herself, but he denied her. Frankly, he had never given her a chance to talk.
Hence, he went to look for Nicole. He did not expect she would be absent from the research center, so he strolled around. Then, his mind filled with the image of her and Chloe encountering each other and the looks on their faces back then.
At first, the two seemed to be discussing something serious, their expressions rather tense. Later on, Chloe seemed to have mentioned the child, and Nicole looked at her belly with a gentle gaze.
He would never forget that look in her eyes.
Colton smiled silently, but his smile was extremely forced and terrible to look at. When Beryl saw him like that, he knew nothing good had come out of his visit to Nicole. Thus, he said nothing as he sat quietly next to Colton.
By the looks of it, the night would be a sleepless one.
"I always thought that both of us suffered greatly in the relationship."
Suddenly, Colton spoke up, his tone hoarse. Beryl pursed his lips tightly, and instead of speaking, he waited silently for his next words.
"That's what I always thought, but the scene I witnessed today tells another story. Nicole was happy; she was happy without me. It's like she didn't care what happened as long as she had the child." At that, he held his head and slowly looked down. A moment later, his body began to tremble as if he were holding something back.
Beryl stared at Colton, not knowing what he could say to comfort him. He knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to improve Colton's current emotions. The only person he ever acknowledged was Nicole.
"Am I selfish? I wasn't happy at all when I saw her living her life. I was sad. Another man had given her a happy life, but I could only offer her a life of wandering and vicious plots." Colton seemed to have had enough of crying. He slowly straightened his body as he looked out the window in a daze.
Indeed, he was a selfish person, always had been.

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!!!...
