Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1478 An Abrupt Departure

As Wendy retreated to her room, Beryl finally exhaled a sigh of relief. He fumbled in his pocket for the room card, hesitated briefly, then swiped it to gain entry.

The room was shrouded in darkness, permeated by a potent smell of smoke.

Beryl crinkled his nose at the odor, feeling as though his sense of smell was under assault.

"Colton, I thought you quit smoking?" Beryl managed to pinpoint Colton in the gloom, observing the man who seemed to have aged significantly.

Colton had given up smoking quite some time ago, so when had he procured these cigarettes?

Had he purchased them on his way back? If so, his speed is impressive.

Beryl couldn't help but admire Colton's swiftness, wishing he could demonstrate the same agility when dealing with Kendrick.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Colton shot a cold glance at Beryl.

He was aware that Beryl had the room card and that he would distract Wendy, so he wasn't taken aback when he came to him.

"Wendy didn't mean to… She..."

Beryl attempted to defend Wendy, but it seemed futile to persuade Colton unless he disclosed the situation about Nicole.

But that was out of the question. If the truth about Nicole came to light, everything would be upended.

"If you're here to tell me this, you can leave now."

Colton was irked by Beryl's hesitation. He felt as though he was being left in the dark, even though he didn't suspect Beryl of withholding information.


This sensation unsettled him.

This sensation unsettled him.

"Alright, I won't bring it up again. I've arranged our return flight for tomorrow afternoon—"

Before Beryl could finish, Colton cut him off.

"Change it to now. Do it!" Colton's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the distant view.

"What did you say?"

Beryl stared at Colton in surprise. He had anticipated that Colton might want to depart sooner, but he hadn't expected him to insist on a flight that very night.

That was exceedingly abrupt.

"You have ten minutes to book the tickets and pack your bags. We're leaving in ten minutes."

Colton didn't offer Beryl any alternatives. He stated this and then turned away, disappearing from Beryl's view.

Soon, the sound of hurried packing echoed from nearby.

At that point, Beryl realized that he could no longer dissuade Colton. He turned and exited the room, adjusting the flight reservations as he left. After amending the tickets, he sent a message to Wendy. That was all he could do at this point.

Upon receiving the message, Wendy swiftly texted Nicole and began packing her belongings.

Everything was happening so suddenly. She had suspected that her brother would ultimately make this decision, but the haste of it all was beyond her anticipation.

For instance, leaving at the stroke of midnight.

This sansation unsattlad him.

"Alright, I won't bring it up again. I'va arrangad our raturn flight for tomorrow aftarnoon—"

Bafora Baryl could finish, Colton cut him off.

"Changa it to now. Do it!" Colton's ayas narrowad slightly as ha gazad at tha distant viaw.
