Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Nicole Starts Working at Gardner Corporation

Hayden looked up at his mother, whose face looked somewhat pale. He shook her arm and comforted her, saying, “Mom, what are you worried about? Joseph isn’t my dad, anyway.”

His voice snapped Nicole out of her thoughts. Looking down at her son’s tender cheeks, she swept him up in her arms and pinched his cheek gently with her fingers as her lips curled into a forced smile. “I was just angry because I thought someone’s trying to snatch you away from me.”

“Don’t be angry, Mom. I’m yours; no one can snatch me away from you,” Hayden replied in all seriousness while hugging Nicole.

Thanks to Hayden’s words, Nicole’s gloomy expression finally eased somewhat. Walking on with her son in her arms, her tone turned jolly, and she said, “You’re right, Hayden. Let’s go home. I’ll make something delicious for you to eat.”

“Okay! I want to eat noodles.”

Although Hayden refused to admit that Joseph was his father, Nicole knew that she had spent a night with Joseph five years ago. Joseph was the only man she had ever slept with. There was no light in the room that night, and she didn’t get to see what the person on top of her looked like, but Queenie had had Joseph intoxicated and sent into the hotel room at the time in order to attach herself to the Mann Family. Nicole knew the whole process, which was why she refused Joseph so fiercely when he said those words. If Joseph learned that Hayden was his son, someone like him would definitely use Hayden to intimidate her into helping Mann Clothing Co.

…

To Nicole, this year’s mid-winter holiday wasn’t any different than ordinary days, for she only spent the holiday hanging out everywhere with her son. This was the first time Hayden returned to the country with her, so he was very curious about everything in the country and the country’s customs.
