Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Let Hayden Choose

Colton lowered his head and smiled. He countered, “Do you think I’m joking?”

Nicole looked at Colton seriously. He didn’t look like he was joking.

Can it be that he really likes me?

Nicole stared at Colton and she accidentally looked into his dark eyes. Those eyes were as dark and deep as a bottomless lake, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

Nicole was startled and she quickly averted her gaze. With her head lowered, she muttered, “President Gardner, stop teasing me. I am financially independent now. I can raise Hayden well by myself. Moreover, your aunt will not agree to it.”

Colton looked at Nicole, who denied the offer. Hence, he smiled and said in a low voice, “We shouldn’t care what others think about us.”

Nicole didn’t expect Colton to say such a thing. She froze for a moment before standing up.

“President Gardner, there is nothing between us. Although we had… skinship five years ago and Hayden is your son, there is nothing between us!”

Looking at the emotional woman before him, Colton felt a fire light up in his heart when he heard her trying hard to distance herself from him.

He squinted and he scanned her with a meaningful gaze.

He knew Nicole was not trying to play hard to get. She simply didn’t want to get involved with him.

He paused and said, “My mother told the reporters I have a son, so the Gardner Family will definitely take Hayden away. Otherwise, the Gardners will be embarrassed.”

Because of this, Anna chose to announce the news at Wendy’s 18th birthday party.

This was the only way to force Colton to recognize Hayden. However, Anna had overthought things. If Colton knew Hayden was his birth child, the man would be willing to acknowledge Hayden if Nicole agreed.
