Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Give It to Me

The night sky was so dark it resembled the finest black fabric in the world.

Meanwhile, Nicole was leaning against the railing as she coldly stared at the turmoil unfolding beneath her with her eyes slightly lowered. The matter was supposedly resolved, but all of a sudden, a burning sensation surged in her body, eating away at her will. She bit her lips as she gripped the railing. Squinting her eyes, she had never expected the drug Lydia set up to be so strong, so her only option right now was to go home. As for her mother’s innocence, one day, she would surely force it out of Lydia.

Right when she was about to leave, a man’s raspy voice stopped her. “You’re here, Miss Nicole Anderson.”

Intuitively, she turned around, and her gaze fell upon Colton’s sable eyes. She was stunned for a moment before quickly regaining her senses. She then pursed her lips and greeted him with a beam. “Yes.”

Due to the night’s dullness and the fact that there was no lighting where they were, their vision was almost pitch black, which was why Colton couldn’t see her weird expression.

“Are you not going downstairs?” Colton took a few steps forward and came before Nicole.

As he neared her, Nicole could smell the scent unique to the man, just like the scent from five years back. Zoning out, she quickly snapped out of it and subconsciously stepped back as an unusual redness occurred on her snowy cheeks. “Maybe not. I’m just an outsider, and I’ll surely make a fool of myself if I show up down there.” Finished, she subconsciously gulped her saliva as she held her shaky body up with her hand. For some reason, Colton’s approach gave her an irresistible sensation to get close to him. Hence, she clenched her fists and pricked her palms with her fingers, attempting to suppress her urge to act rashly.

Colton said nothing more. He was aware of a thing or two about the grudge Nicole had against the Anderson Family, as well as how the Anderson Family was scornful of her. “Do you know what happened earlier?” Lowering his gaze, he casually quizzed all of a sudden.
