Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Come to the Party

When Nicole returned home, she saw Hayden playing on his laptop on the couch.

When Hayden saw her, he immediately jumped off the couch. His bare feet pattered as he ran over to her. “Mommy!” he called out sweetly.

“Hey there, sweetheart.” Nicole grinned as she picked her son up. Her gaze fell upon the laptop stand on the couch, and she couldn’t stop herself from laughing. “Did you spend the whole day on your laptop while I was gone?”

“Hey, I only just started gaming when you came back,” Hayden whined as he buried his head in her embrace. Although she wasn’t sure whether he was telling the truth, Nicole’s heart melted when she heard his cute voice.

After Hayden finished playing coy, he looked up at Nicole. “Mommy, it’s still working time. Why are you back?” he asked, curious.

Nicole didn’t want her son to worry, so she simply told him she was worried about leaving him alone at home.

Hayden could guess that something was up when he saw the forced smile on Nicole’s face. His black eyes darkened, but when he looked at her again, his expression had reverted to an innocent smile. “It’s not my first time being home alone. You don’t have to worry about me, Mommy,” he soothed.

The mother and son continued to banter for a little while. As she looked at her son’s innocent face, Nicole became even more determined. I must not let Joseph get his way!

The next morning, Nicole prepared to begin working after she arrived at her office. A few moments after she sat down, however, Queenie suddenly barged into her office. A red-faced Scarlett trailed after her. Scarlett’s expression had a hint of anxiety in it. Upon seeing Nicole, she lowered her head. “I couldn’t stop her, Miss Nicole,” she said regretfully.

Meanwhile, Queenie looked at Scarlett in disgruntlement. She narrowed her eyes and scoffed at her. “I’m Colton’s fiancée, the future wife of the head of Gardner Corporation. This is just a regular workplace. Why can’t I enter?”

Seeing Queenie’s tyrannical attitude, Nicole knew that Scarlett would never be able to stop her. She waved a hand to tell Scarlett that it was all right. “It’s okay. You may leave.”
