Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1384 Almost Exposed

"I don't understand what you're saying." Wendy looked up at Beryl in astonishment, wondering how he knew what she was thinking. Could he read minds, or had he already figured out the situation between her and Nicole?

"Do you know what's been going on between Nicole and Colton?"

Beryl didn't take the bait, posing the question back to Wendy instead.

"Uh, isn't it just about Nicole being with Zachary now? She divorced Colton, right?" Wendy spoke confidently.

Beryl raised an eyebrow, giving Wendy a deep look, and then simply nodded without saying anything.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief; from now on, she couldn't let herself think about irrelevant matters when around Beryl. Otherwise, he might eventually guess all the things on her mind.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'm going back to rest." Once Wendy made up her mind, she surveyed her surroundings, not wanting to stay any longer. She got up, feigning sleepiness.

Beryl glanced at Wendy's exaggerated actions but didn't expose her. He quietly replied, "Okay."

When Wendy stole a glance at Beryl, she noted that he was engrossed in something on his phone. She seized the opportunity to make her exit while planning to text Nicole to inquire about the child.

The door was closed, and the room fell into silence. In the dimly lit room, only the glow of a phone screen illuminated the space. Beryl found the screen too bright and simply turned off the phone, tossing

it aside.

Back in the country, things were progressing as planned, though Beryl was uncertain whether Ryan might do something unexpected, for example, suddenly heeding Kendrick's words.

Back in her room, Wendy clutched her phone, pacing around. Should I ask Nicole or not? Is Nicole even awake at this hour? She is pregnant and should probably be asleep by now.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Someone was persistently knocking on her door.

Setting her phone aside, Wendy peeked through the peephole and saw Colton, after which she hastily let him in.

To her surprise, Colton was completely drunk. "Colton, why did you drink so much? Oh, my!"

Colton looked up at Wendy, glanced at the room number, and without saying a word, turned to leave.

"Colton!"

Wendy wasn't going to let Colton off so easily when he was clearly intoxicated. She rushed forward and tried to support him.

As expected, her petite frame couldn't handle Colton's weight, and the two of them stumbled onto the ground in the hallway.

Wendy panted heavily, realizing they had expended all that effort just to end up back where they started. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Let me handle this." A familiar voice sounded in her ear.

Wendy looked up and saw Beryl approaching her side. He effortlessly took Colton from her.

Beryl, who regularly exercised, struggled a bit under Colton's weight, but they managed to enter the room. The corridor returned to its usual tranquility.

"What were you doing outside? You drank so much and reeked of cigarettes."

Beryl wrinkled his nose, displeased with the heavy odor emanating from Colton. Though they often drank together, this was the first time Colton had such a strong odor.

Furthermore, Colton wasn't just drunk; he had also smoked a lot. The combination of smells made Beryl feel nauseated. Colton was still conscious, but his body was gradually becoming unresponsive to him. In the end, he gave up struggling and allowed Beryl to guide him into the room.

Once inside, Colton seated himself on the couch without a word. Beryl sat down beside him, and neither of them broke the silence.
