Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1396 The Battle Officially Starts Now

Knock. Knock. Knock. Just then, the sound of someone knocking on the door pulled Chloe back from her memory.

"Chloe, it's me." It was Nicole.

Chloe was taken aback. Could it be something urgent? Wait, her stomach!

She jumped up and opened the door upon thinking about this, only to see Nicole holding a tray with some chowder and salad.

"What's this, Nicole?" Chloe quickly came to her senses and asked.

"You're pregnant, so you should be resting. You didn't need to cook for me." Although Nicole was already well into her pregnancy, Chloe felt that she should still be careful as accidents could happen in the kitchen. Just the thought of it was enough to make Chloe shudder.

"It's just something simple. You've been so busy and tired. It must feel worse to come back to an empty dining table." Nicole shook her head and pulled Chloe into the room. She then placed the food on the table and looked at her with a smile.

Seeing that, Chloe sat down obediently to eat. Even though she lied to Nicole, saying she had already eaten, that was not the case.

There was no use insisting otherwise since Nicole had probably seen through her. As such, it would be better for her to eat.

Nicole was comforted when Chloe ate the food. This was all she could do, for she hadn't expected to feel so weak with the morning sickness.

Despite knowing that being pregnant wasn't an easy thing, she never knew it could get this bad since she hadn't experienced it.

"Great. Now, go rest." Nicole nodded with satisfaction as Chloe finished the bowl of chowder. Then, she got up to take the empty bowl away.

Chloe rushed to grab the bowl from Nicole and disappeared before her eyes after saying, "I'll do the dishes, Nicole. You should rest."

Nicole stared at the space before her where Chloe was and smiled when she heard the woman. Then, she walked toward her room.

She decided not to force it. If she did, Chloe would feel bad, and that wasn't what she intended to do.

Compared to the serenity on Nicole's side, Colton's situation was different.

Beryl and Colton sat before a computer, monitoring the situation in the country.

What they didn't expect was Ryan's influence as many parties suddenly appeared to help him.

"No wonder he's so brazen. He has the capital." Beryl stared at the data as he remarked, nodding in silence as though impressed by Ryan.

Colton turned to look at Beryl and rolled his eyes.

"It's my first time seeing you praise someone, you know," he said mockingly.

This is the first time I see you praising someone," he mocked.
