"But what?" Nicole's anxiety heightened when Wendy abruptly halted her sentence.
Snapping back to reality, Wendy had been lost in her thoughts, calculating her travel time. Seeing Nicole's distress, she quickly clarified, "My brother invited me to dinner with Beryl, so I need to head back."
At that, Nicole exhaled a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Alright, go ahead. Be careful on the road." She had been terrified, fearing that something had happened to Colton. Now that they were safe, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Meanwhile, Beryl waited for Wendy at their agreed location, persistently urging her to hurry. He received a location message from Colton—the same restaurant she had mentioned earlier!
His eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly took a screenshot and forwarded it to her.
Just as Wendy was about to leave, she noticed her brother standing behind her, observing her. She felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Why doesn't Beryl inform me that my brother is here for dinner?
Ding.
She discreetly checked her phone and saw Beryl's message, shutting her eyes in frustration. Oh, Beryl, what's the point of telling me now?
"Why are you here?"
By then, Colton had approached her. He glanced at Nicole behind him and frowned slightly, suppressing his anger.
As the man neared, Nicole felt a wave of uncertainty. She subconsciously touched her belly as if silently communicating with her unborn child. This is your father.
"I…" Wendy was at a loss for words. She had indeed come here behind her brother's back to meet Nicole. Now that they had been discovered, any explanation would be futile.
"Nicole!"
Chloe had intended to check on Nicole, fearing she might encounter trouble on her way home alone. However, she was surprised to walk into such a scene and rushed to Nicole's side.
After confirming that Nicole was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Even without an explanation, she could guess what had transpired. Her gaze fell on Beryl, who stood protectively in front of Wendy. At that moment, she could not help but feel a twinge of heartache.
She could sense his feelings for Wendy, but did Wendy know?
The men locked eyes for a long moment. In the end, without uttering a word, Colton walked past Beryl and exited the place.

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!!!...
