Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Lost Child

As Colton hit the gas, his car vroomed and roared, speeding away toward their destination. What was supposed to be a one-hour-long trip was shortened to only forty minutes.

Having reached their destination, Nicole lifted the skirt of her gown and picked up her pace. Ignoring the fact that she still had her heels on, she stormed up the stairs, only to discover that the door to her house was wide open. Traces of the door being pried open were apparent. The house was in a complete mess. All of the wardrobes in the rooms were opened, and even the fruit platter on the living room table was swept onto the floor. Evidently, the situation that took place earlier was rather extreme.

Feeling a tingle in her nose, she scoured the room as she yelled, “Hayden! Hayden!” Nonetheless, the house was silent, and not a single movement was heard.

Accordingly, Colton, who just parked his car, arrived at the scene, realizing that burglars must have barged in with the mess in the house.

Nicole then searched in every room without missing even one corner. Sadly, her son was nowhere to be found. All at once, she broke down in tears. Her son meant everything to her, and there was no point in living without him.

Staring at the devastated woman, Colton, for some reason, felt a sting in his heart. He subtly frowned, remembering how he was never a nosy person. However, perhaps it was because the woman in front of him could prove beneficial to Gardner Corporation, for he came up with a virtuous excuse. “I’ve got some connections. Send me some photos of your boy, and I’ll have them look for him.” Once Nicole accepted his help, she would be in his debt, and it would be nothing but advantageous were Nicole, as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, to repay her debt.

The woman sniffled with her eyes absolutely reddened. Regardless, she managed to remain rational. At that moment, crying wouldn’t be of any use as the most crucial thing to do was to look for her son. She didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen if she failed that.

Swiftly, she pulled out her phone and opened the photo gallery to search for her son’s photographs. Pulling up the images, she realized that she only had Colton’s number before turning to him and said, “Can you add me on Facebook? I’ll send the photos to you.”
