Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 87 Prepared

After leaving the Gardner Residence in the evening, Nicole rushed to Colton’s place.

While Anna and Wendy stayed at the old Gardner Residence, Colton had his own mansion.

The DNA paternity test between Hayden and Joseph was scheduled for tomorrow, so Nicole had to make all the necessary preparations tonight.

By the time she arrived at Colton’s residence, it was already past 8 in the evening. She had been to the place before, so she was rather familiar with the layout.

After parking her car, she walked through the yard and directly entered the house via the main entrance.

The light from the enormous chandelier in the mansion was blinding as it radiated on Colton seated on the couch with a laptop. His slender, bony fingers were typing swiftly on the keyboard as it made a crisp, clattering sound.

Seeing Nicole’s arrival, Colton kept his laptop away and asked Annie to serve coffee. Only then did he turn to greet, “Hi, Miss Anderson, just tell me what you need me to do tomorrow.”

Nicole nodded and answered, “It’s nothing much, actually. President Gardner, you have taken a DNA paternity test with my son and are aware that there’s no blood relation between the two of you, but I won’t dare to make a bet for Joseph’s case, so I’m hoping you can help to change the hair sample during the test.”
