Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1233 Commotion

Despite being in a daze, Nicole still managed to take care of Evelyn's daily arrangements. It was a given that she was forcing herself to do so.

Meanwhile, Colton felt as if a colony of ants was gnawing at his heart, leaving him breathless while seeing how distracted Nicole looked.

The quieter Nicole became, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"I'm tired. I'll rest for a bit. Keep an eye on the Yaels," Nicole said, both physically and mentally exhausted. She didn't know how to face Colton either. Although she knew it wasn't Colton's fault, she couldn't approach him with a calm mind.

"Nicole, I know you're upset about this, and it's my fault too." Colton pursed his lips, unsure of what to say next. He thought everything he said would be wrong, especially since he had gotten another woman pregnant.

At that, Nicole's eyes turned red-rimmed with oncoming tears. Still, she fought them back and adjusted her mindset before slowly turning around. "I don't blame you, Colton. The most important thing now is the Yael Family. I'll help you with Evelyn and the child. Since it's yours, you should take responsibility. Alright, that's it. I'm off now. These couple of days have been really exhausting."

With that, Nicole walked away, giving Colton no chance to speak. At the end of the day, he could only watch her stubborn departure with furrowed brows.

"Mr. Gardner, why don't you attend to other matters? We've got this covered," Roxanna said, exhaling and briefly comforting Colton before turning to leave.

Having finally learned the full picture, she believed Nicole must be down in the dumps.

"I want to see Colton. Are you all planning to leave me alone here for ten months?"

"You mustn't raise your voice here, Miss Wrenn. Please return to your room. You're not allowed to wander around freely."

Noises of Evelyn arguing with a staff member came not far away, and Evelyn was being mulish.

"Miss Miller, Miss Wrenn insists on coming out and seeing Mr. Gardner. We explained the rules to her, but she wouldn't listen. She's causing a commotion, demanding to see Mr. Gardner." A staff member rushed over, their voice tinged with a sob.

Knowing that Evelyn tended to give the people here a hard time, Roxanna said calmly, "I'll handle it."

The employee's face lit up at once, and they silently followed Roxanna.

"Miss Wrenn," Roxanna uttered expressionlessly but politely. "This is a research center where many things need to be kept confidential. So please nurture your unborn child quietly. Professionals will ensure your well-being."
