Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 This Kid Is Mine

Joseph was very attentive to Nicole, so much so that he went out of his way to reserve a luxurious private room at a hotel for her. After Nicole seated herself, he respectfully handed her the menu with both hands and asked with a grin, “Please take a look, Miss Anderson. Is there anything you’d like to eat?”

Despite having followed Joseph into the room, Nicole didn’t really want to have lunch with him here. Looking up at his face, she said unhurriedly, “If you want to say something, just spill it. I’m not in the mood to beat around the bush with you here.” She feigned a look of composure, but she unconsciously tightened her grip on Hayden’s hand.

Hayden seemed to have sensed something. Holding his mother’s hand in response, he said forcefully in a childlike voice, “Don’t be afraid, Mom. I’m here.” With his words, he labeled Joseph as a bad guy right away.

The smile on Joseph’s face became even more apparent. Gazing at Nicole’s face with his dark eyes, he contemplated what he was going to say before asking, “Miss Anderson, did we meet each other five years ago?”

As soon as Joseph asked the question, Nicole answered resolutely, “No.” However, the faster she denied that, the more it proved that she had a guilty conscience.
