"It's alright. Aside from a slight inconvenience in movement, nothing else is troubling me at the moment. Even my morning sickness has significantly subsided." Nicole could not help but smile at Wendy's earnest concern, offering her gentle reassurance.
She recognized Wendy's genuine care for her and had to acknowledge that her upbringing had been commendable. Whether it was her etiquette or principles, everything about her was admirable. Despite her vivacious and endearing nature, she was well aware of her limits.
Wendy glanced at the tablet, noting that all the items listed were her favorites. She felt a lump forming in her throat. Indeed, Nicole cherished her dearly. "You've ordered all my favorite food! I appreciate you so much, Nicole." Wendy sniffled, doing her best to hold back her tears. She did not want to embarrass herself by crying.
"Alright, see if there's anything else you'd like to eat." Nicole noticed Wendy's emotional state, as if she was on the verge of tears, and quickly distracted her.
Her only intention was to make Wendy happier. Despite her divorce from Colton, Wendy still treated her like family. Since she saw her as her sister-in-law, she felt obliged to live up to the title.
Wendy nodded enthusiastically, remembering all the kindness Nicole had shown her. She then ordered some dishes she thought Nicole would enjoy and handed the tablet back to the waiter.
As Wendy's figure gradually faded from his view, Beryl gave a resigned smile. She has places to go, but look at where I am now. Not back there, certainly. If Colton discovered his presence, Wendy's secret would be revealed. Then, she would undoubtedly be unforgiving of him.
He decided to take a stroll nearby, which seemed to be the only viable option.
"Beryl, why are you here?" Colton, who had just arrived from outside, noticed him walking alone.
Recognizing the voice, Beryl knew who it was. He closed his eyes, his face reflecting his frustration, but he managed to feign calmness. "What a coincidence! What brings you here?"
Colton was usually a homebody. What could have prompted him to venture out today? Was it something to do with Nicole?
