Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1289 Meeting Evelyn

Nicole was taken aback by how abruptly Chloe changed the subject, but she nodded nonetheless. Afterward, the two women strolled through upscale fashion stores, yet Nicole struggled to find anything she liked.

"Even though your baby bump isn't showing, you can still wear dresses. Why are you so insistent on loose-fitting options for the waist? Dresses are designed to highlight your body's shape, not conceal it," Chloe reasoned, emerging from another store while holding her hand. Then, she sighed inwardly. She cares about her pregnancy too much. We could've bought a ton of dresses otherwise.

Nevertheless, Nicole remained resolute, unwilling to compromise. "No. I can't risk hurting the child, regardless of whether or not my bump is visible," she asserted, tugging Chloe along through the mall, determined to find a dress that suited her tastes.

Watching her unwavering commitment, Chloe wondered whether they had pushed Nicole too hard. We've just raised her standards for her dress.

"Nicole? Is that you?"

Just as they were about to move on, a familiar voice sliced through the air, leaving Chloe with a frown. The voice belonged to a woman who had recently caused a stir at the research center and had subsequently left with Nicole's ex-husband.

Meanwhile, Nicole turned slowly, and her heart sank as she saw the scene before her. Evelyn stood there, holding Colton's arm intimately, a baby boy cradled in the arms of a servant. It was a picture of a beautiful family, but the sight wounded her heart.

"Fancy seeing you here, Nicole," Evelyn greeted gently, looking blissful.

After hearing this, Chloe was ready to whisk Nicole away from this unwanted encounter. However, she recognized that Colton was still a sensitive topic for Nicole. Hence, she held back, realizing she couldn't confine Nicole to her past forever.

As Nicole hesitated, her hand tenderly resting on her belly, she finally lifted her gaze and offered a serene smile. "Same here, Miss Wrenn. I hope you'll find a dress you like," she replied, pointedly avoiding eye contact with the man and treating him as a complete stranger.

On the other hand, his gaze was fixed on Nicole when he spotted her. He couldn't help but notice the affectionate look she directed toward her belly.

"Shopping for a dress, I presume? Do I smell a happy occasion?" Evelyn adeptly redirected the conversation, unwilling to let Nicole slip away so easily.

After hearing this, Chloe's fists clenched in frustration. She knew this wench was trying to stir up trouble. I hope this reckless action of mine can help Nicole. If it fails, I'll avenge her.
