Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1404 New Clues

Chloe spoke intermittently, and Nicole didn't interrupt, listening attentively. Chloe's concerns were not unfounded, but…

"Chloe, don't fret. Roxanna won't misconstrue your intentions, but it's natural to feel distressed." Nicole gently patted Chloe's shoulder, her voice soft and comforting.

Chloe nodded, resolved to lay everything bare to Roxanna once the truth emerged. However, she harbored doubts about Isaac's suitability for Roxanna. She feared that one day, Roxanna might remain oblivious even after being deceived by Isaac.

"Get some rest—"

Nicole's words were cut short as she was suddenly seized by a wave of nausea. Sensing she was about to vomit, she hastily dashed to the bathroom.

Two hours of respite seemed to be her limit. She was suddenly grateful that she hadn't suffered from morning sickness during the earlier meeting. That would have been mortifying.

"Nicole!"

Chloe, noticing Nicole's morning sickness, quickly followed her, arriving just in time to see Nicole hunched over the toilet, retching.

Nicole saw the concern etched in Chloe's eyes. She knew that her actions would upset Chloe if she discovered them, but she couldn't disrupt Chloe's sleep every night.

"Alright, let's get some rest. I'm a bit weary now."

Nicole took Chloe's hand and used it to help herself up. She then quietly returned to her room and closed the door.

She would find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart with Chloe the next day. Chloe was too sensitive, and if this continued, it would burden her.

She wouldn't allow that to happen. As for Roxanna…

Nicole's eyes darkened. She had to devise a plan to keep Roxanna and Isaac apart.
