Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Waking Up Early

Seeing that Nicole was still staring at the floor, Colton suddenly had a mischievous thought, and he asked, “Nicole, may I call you Nicky?”

His husky voice sounded like the flow of clear springs between valleys, flowing into her ears little by little.

For a second, Nicole was startled, and the fair skin on her face turned a little pinkish with his words, but she quickly jerked back to her senses and said, “You can call me whatever you like, President Gardner.”

Colton smirked, and his eyes crinkled along with it as he continued in his husky voice, “We have been through some tough times together, and calling you Nicky sounds more intimate. You shouldn’t call me President Gardner as well. Just call me Colton.”

Stumped, she didn’t know what was on his mind, but she still agreed to him in a daze. “Okay, Pres… Colton.”

The mischief in his eyes deepened when he saw how she lowered her head bashfully, and he asked curiously, “Why are you staring at the floor, Nicky? Is my figure really bad?”

Lifting her head slightly, she happened to fix her eyes on his abs, which was completely different from what he said; his figure was very good, and every muscle was so perfect that there were no flaws at all.

Touching her nose, she appeared less capable and confident as she usually was. “You trained your body well,” she uttered, complimenting him.

As though realizing he had gone too far, he stopped messing with her. “It’s getting late. Rest early. I’m getting myself a glass of water downstairs.”

Hurriedly, she nodded and answered, “Okay.” Then, she turned sideways quickly and went into her own room.

The room she shared with her son was next to Colton’s master bedroom, and both doors are placed quite close to each other. When she got to her door, she saw that his door was still open, and she stole a quick peek inside. Just as she had imagined, the room was very simple and elegant, with black, white, and gray as the main theme.
