Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691

Hearing how concerned Nicole was about him, Colton couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. Nonchalantly, he uttered, "Okay. Thanks for worrying about me."

Nicole turned away, refusing to admit that she was worried about him.

Looking at the slightly proud appearance, he beamed. Suppressing the chuckle that was about to blurt out of his throat, he teased, "Just tell me if you care about me directly. Why are you shy?"

Colton had never seen Nicole like this before. Was she blushing?

The scarlet in her ears quickly spread across her whole face until her face resembled a ripe tomato. It was such an adorable sight.

"I don't!" Nicole quickly denied and tugged at her gown before standing up. "I'm going back to my room."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Colton immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back. She didn't expect him to yank her down at all, so she plopped onto his lap before she could react.

"What are you doing?" she seethed. Hadn't he had enough?

Colton snorted lightly, lowered his head, and rubbed the tip of his nose against her flushed face. "Didn't you realize how red your face is? It looks like a ripe red apple!"

Nicole touched her face in a daze, and sure enough, she could feel the boiling heat.

She coughed lightly in embarrassment and insisted, "Maybe the effect of the drug hasn't subsided yet. Let me go now. I'm going to wash up and go to bed."

Ignoring her, he tightened his grip on her. Eventually, he buried his face between Nicole's neck and uttered, "I want you right now, Nicole. What should I do?"

Nicole was taken aback by his dirty words. Now that she was seated on his lap, she was afraid that he might actually do something to her. "Hold it in. If you do anything to me, I'll make sure you lose the ability to start a family!"

Even after hearing the threat, Colton didn't take her seriously. With a light chuckle, he let go of her. Once Nicole realized he had loosened his grip, she hopped out of his embrace and glared at him with clear eyes. "How old are you? Can you stop being so childish?" Her tone sounded like a complaint.

Colton parted his lips and laughed before acting like a brat. "I only act childish with you."

Nicole was speechless at that. She patted off her arm in disgust and blurted, "Don't even think you can touch me just because I like you!"

Nicole didn't know what was wrong with herself. Although she liked him, she couldn't be too intimate with him. It was as if her rationality would disappear once they were intimate. Perhaps, the incident that happened five years ago had traumatized her.

Colton caught the keyword in her sentence—she liked him. Unable to hide the joy in his eyes, he teased, "You like me?"

Only then did Nicole realize what she had just spat. It was like she had said something she shouldn't have. Pursing her lips, she no longer intended to engage in the conversation. She then turned on her heels before stating, "I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, she scrambled away.

Colton watched Nicole's back as she left, his mood lightened a lot because he just knew that she liked him deep down. After hearing that, he felt as if he had soared to cloud nine from the bottom of a valley. Even as he watched Nicole leave, the smile on his face didn't falter.

Nicole trotted all the way to the bathroom, and when she looked up in the mirror, she noticed how red her face was! What did she just say?! Did she just confess to him?! That was so embarrassing!
