Right Person, Wrong Time

The next day, Nicole woke up late. She yawned and got out of bed. On the other hand, Colton had already woken up and was making breakfast in the kitchen. When she walked down the stairs, she saw his broad figure and could smell the scent of food.

One of the benefits of renting a villa was that they could cook on their own.

"You're awake. Here, have some food." Colton put the food in front of her.

Looking at the delicious food before her, she let out another yawn and said, "Thank you, darling."

He was happy to hear how she addressed him. He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her.

After snuggling with each other for a while, they began to eat breakfast. As soon as they finished their meal, Colton received a call. He answered it and said in an upset tone, "Don't call me for anything related to work or family matters for the time being. I'm busy."

Tony was speechless upon hearing the irked tone in Colton's voice. "President Gardner, Mr. Morgan is also at Dane. All you have to do is meet up with him. If we can collaborate with him, it will increase the company's profit considerably," he mumbled quietly.

"I'm not going," Colton said coldly.

Tony wasn't surprised. He was merely trying his luck to see if Colton would agree to his request. However, the outcome was just as he had expected.


"I don't need this money. I'm on my honeymoon, so please don't disturb me." Just as Colton was about to hang up the call, Nicole leaned toward him.

She looked at his phone and greeted Tony politely, "Did something happen?"

"Here's the thing, Mrs. Gardner. The company has a project at Dane that needs President Gardner to attend to. It will only take about two hours, and we will be able to make a huge profit out of it," replied Tony.

Colton was dissatisfied and wanted to hang up the call. In that split second, he heard Nicole replied, "Okay. I'll ask Colton to go. Don't worry."

Hearing her words, Tony was delighted. Before Colton had married Nicole, he was a workaholic. However, after he was with Nicole, he changed into a completely different person and always followed his wife around, refusing to work. Though, it didn't matter much since the Gardner Family was wealthy. Even if Colton didn't work, he would still have enough money to spend for the rest of his life.

After Colton hung up the call, he pursed his lips. He wrapped his arms around Nicole's waist and snuggled his head at the crook of her neck. "Why would you say that, Nicole? This is our honeymoon. I don't want to be separated from you," he mumbled.
