Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1447 Sensing Something Unusual

Darcy spoke in fragments as if she was revealing some inner thoughts. When she saw Nicole's pregnant belly earlier that day, truth be told, she yearned for a child of her own with the man she loved. However, it seemed like an impossible dream now. After all, the man she loved didn't reciprocate her feelings, let alone entertain the thought of having a child with her.

Kendrick didn't interrupt her; he merely listened to Darcy in silence. He had long suspected that their conversation that day wasn't solely about children.

"Alright, Kendrick, you must be busy, and I'm feeling tired. Let's call it a day."

Darcy felt a wave of exhaustion. After mulling over certain things, she realized she could no longer interact with Kendrick as she used to.

Kendrick pursed his lips slightly, nodded in acknowledgment, and without uttering another word, he turned and left the villa.

I knew it. Darcy watched Kendrick's retreating figure and chuckled bitterly. She then turned and ascended the stairs to her room, which still bore the remnants of their time together.

Nicole returned home feeling somewhat drained. Chloe had already prepared dinner and set it on the table.

"Wow, it's quite a feast today," Nicole exclaimed as she looked at the array of her favorite dishes on the table. She hadn't expected to be greeted by such a spread upon her return.

"Yes, come and eat, but first, wash your hands." Chloe nodded, and seeing Nicole reaching out to eat,

she quickly swatted her hand away.

"Yes, come and eat, but first, wash your hands." Chloe nodded, and seeing Nicole reaching out to eat, she quickly swatted her hand away.

Nicole pouted but eventually complied and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

For some reason, ever since she became pregnant, she had been behaving more childishly. However, she didn't see it as a negative change.

"You're home early today. Didn't you go to the base after leaving the mall?" After Nicole washed her hands, she took her seat and eagerly began eating.

The food was delicious, exactly to her liking.

"I made my stance clear to her today. Now I'm just waiting for her response." Seeing Chloe looking at her, Nicole knew that she was still concerned about the situation, and she reassured her. She hoped that it would put Chloe at ease.

Isaac stood at the entrance of the medical base in Restrad, clutching a bouquet of roses, awaiting Roxanna's exit. This day, he was determined to win Roxanna's heart.

The two security guards exchanged amused glances at Isaac's obvious intentions.

Roxanna had successfully secured the investment, and Seraphina happily saw her father off before turning to Roxanna with increasing admiration.

"Alright, are you relieved now?" Roxanna asked, smiling indulgently at Seraphina's obvious happiness.

"Mm-hmm!" Seraphina responded affirmatively. Before she could say anything else, her phone buzzed with a new message.

She excused herself from Roxanna and, with her permission, turned to check her phone.

In a matter of seconds, she turned back to Roxanna with a surprised expression. "Roxanna, there's someone waiting for you outside."

Roxanna quirked a brow at Seraphina, sighed resignedly, and slowly rose to leave.

She had initially planned to retreat to her room and relax, but it seemed that was no longer an option. But who could be seeking her at this hour?

Seraphina informed Roxanna that someone was waiting for her at the main gate of the base. Roxanna yawned and headed toward the gate. She vowed never to pull an all-nighter again; it was simply too exhausting.

As she neared the gate, she noticed a man with his back to her, holding something in his hand and dressed in a well-fitted suit. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Who could it be?

A name fleetingly crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. It couldn't possibly be Isaac. He couldn't possibly harbor such feelings for her.

"Excuse me, do you need something from me?" As Roxanna approached, she recognized the familiar figure, but she still couldn't bring herself to believe it was Isaac, so she had to ask.
