Right Person, Wrong Time

Evelyn gasped when she heard Nicole's reply.

She had previously looked into Nicole and knew full well that Nicole would never be able to accept the idea of something happening between Colton and her. Therefore, she was shocked that Nicole would make such a statement. Not only did Nicole show no sign of anger, but she could deal with the situation flawlessly.

Evelyn's eyes conveyed her displeasure after recalling being dragged back to the Wrenn Residence against her will by Siobhan. Unlike Gould Residence, Wrenn Residence was guarded by trained professionals. Evelyn couldn't possibly escape from under their nose, not even if she had wings. She attempted to escape many times but was always caught before she could even get out.

Moreover, Jackson had warned her that he would publicly disown her if she continued to act up. Even though Siobhan had made similar claims before, she had never given them much credence. Evelyn knew her mother was soft-hearted and merely made empty threats without intending to act upon them. However, the same could not be said for her father because she grew up in the family and knew he would always follow through on what he said. She knew she would be reduced to nothing if she lost her title as the young lady of the Wrenn Family.

Even though she wasn't biologically related to the Wrenns, she was still regarded as their daughter, making her life much easier. Since she was the young lady of the Wrenn Family, everyone treated her with the utmost deference wherever she went.

Evelyn balled her fists in anger as she recalled her ordeal, but all she could do to relieve her rage was call and text Nicole to aggravate her. Hence, she lied and claimed to have been with Colton because she knew Nicole would be concerned if he had a history with other women. She even told Nicole she was pregnant to gross her out, but she failed to account for Nicole's lack of interest.

In the meantime, she couldn't believe Nicole was uninterested in the topic, so she gritted her teeth and pressed, "I doubt you truly don't care at all, Nicole!"

Then, Nicole smirked and chuckled. "That's up to you. If you're pregnant, you're probably less than a month into the pregnancy. In that case, you should spend the next few months at Wrenn Residence taking good care of the baby. Colton and I will compensate you for it."

Evelyn was infuriated by her calmness and huffed, "I don't believe you don't care at all, Nicole!"

"Your prerogative," Nicole remarked before hanging up.

On the other hand, Evelyn raged at the fact that she hung up on her. Nicole! It's all because of her! Her eyes glistened coldly, and she suddenly had a flash of insight.

Colton has lost his memory and can only recall events from the last two years. He has no idea what has happened since then, so he doesn't remember everything I did. Good news, indeed. Since he has forgotten everything, he won't ignore me or turn me away if I approach him.
