Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Leave

As Nicole didn’t bring much with her, her belongings didn’t even fill up a suitcase.

Baffled by the sudden move, Hayden looked questioningly over at his mother before shifting his gaze to Colton, asking, “Mom, Mr. Handsome, why are we leaving? I like it here.”

At that, Nicole ruffled his hair and explained, “We are only meant to stay here for a short while, and now, it’s time for us to go home.”

A discontented Hayden pouted with a hint of pity in his eyes. “But I like Mr. Handsome. I don’t want to leave…”

Colton’s heart softened for some reason at Hayden’s adorable, pleading look, and he comforted the little one with hoarseness in his voice. “If you’d like, Hayden, you can come and play whenever you want.”

Happiness instantly replaced the glum on Hayden’s face. “Really?” he asked, looking up at Colton, who nodded. “Really.”

Resigned, Nicole pulled Hayden into her arms and pinched his cheeks lightly, teasing, “You’ve only stayed here for a few days, and you’re already reluctant to leave? What next? You’re leaving me as well?”

Hayden hurriedly turned to Nicole in the face of her ‘confrontation’. “No. You’re the most important, Mom. Mr. Handsome is at most the second most important!” To express his sincerity, he even nuzzled in her arms.

Whitney, on the other hand, couldn’t help rolling her eyes when she saw how the child pretended to be all sweet in front of his mother. The kiddo was as mischievous as Loki—as if he was ever this sweet and benign.

He acted practically like an adult whenever he was with her.

Later, Nicole asked Whitney to take Hayden out, leaving her and Colton in the room.

At that point, Colton no longer tried to keep her and only said, “Safe journey.”

Nicole nodded and thanked him solemnly, “I really appreciate your help saving me from the scandal surrounding Daniella’s suicide. Whether you did it for Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel’s collaboration or for another reason, I should give you my thanks regardlessly.”

Seeing that Nicole stood on ceremony, Colton only said, “It’s what I should do.”

With that, Nicole headed out, not hanging around further.
