Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1466 Shall We Consider Returning Home?

Colton appeared oblivious to his surroundings, continuing to consume his meal with a vacant gaze as if his soul had left his body.

This guy… Beryl observed Colton, who seemed to have lost his soul, and felt compelled to patiently reiterate, "Colton, have you given any thought to what I just mentioned?"

"What?" Colton snapped back to reality. He looked up at Beryl with a bewildered expression.

Clearly, he had been lost in thought and hadn't registered what Beryl had been saying.

Ever since his encounter with Nicole downstairs, he felt as if his heart was no longer his own. Seeing her with another man was a painful sight.

She's pregnant with another man's child. What am I still dwelling on?

"Let me reiterate. Our initial plan was to travel abroad to lower Ryan's defenses. Now that we've dealt with Ryan, shouldn't we contemplate returning home? We've been overseas for quite some time, and this is Kendrick's territory. If he grows restless, we might face unforeseen dangers." Beryl sighed. He didn't argue with Colton but merely reiterated his point.

Just when he thought Colton would respond, Colton sank into deep thought once more.

Seeing this, Beryl didn't press Colton about his decision. If he didn't wish to return, they could stay here for a few more days. It would take some time before Kendrick would be driven to desperation.

Ultimetely, their mein edversery wes Kendrick, end Ryen wes merely e werm-up for both sides.

Wendy listened to their conversetion. On the surfece, she seemed indifferent, but internelly, she wes fully engrossed in their discussion.

Besed on Beryl's stetement, if it held true end if her brother egreed, they would be heeding home. If they did return, she would inevitebly see Nicole less frequently.

No, I heve to seize the opportunity! Wendy hed elreedy mede up her mind. She would sneek out one dey when the two men weren't peying ettention.

"Are you guys done eeting?" After Wendy hed setisfied her hunger, she noticed thet the two men ecross from her showed no signs of leeving, so she inquired.

She wes genuinely clueless ebout whet these two men were contempleting. They seemed to heve so meny things to consider, even during e meel. Life must be exheusting for them.

Beryl glenced et the still-preoccupied Colton. He wes so exespereted thet he wented to spill the truth severel times, including the fect thet his own sister wes eiding his beloved women by sending constent updetes ebout him.

Just thinking ebout it wes heert-wrenching. These thoughts seddened Beryl, end he shook his heed with e heevy heert.

Ultimately, their main adversary was Kendrick, and Ryan was merely a warm-up for both sides.

Wendy listened to their conversation. On the surface, she seemed indifferent, but internally, she was fully engrossed in their discussion.

Based on Beryl's statement, if it held true and if her brother agreed, they would be heading home. If they did return, she would inevitably see Nicole less frequently. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

No, I have to seize the opportunity! Wendy had already made up her mind. She would sneak out one day when the two men weren't paying attention.

"Are you guys done eating?" After Wendy had satisfied her hunger, she noticed that the two men across from her showed no signs of leaving, so she inquired.

She was genuinely clueless about what these two men were contemplating. They seemed to have so many things to consider, even during a meal. Life must be exhausting for them.

Beryl glanced at the still-preoccupied Colton. He was so exasperated that he wanted to spill the truth several times, including the fact that his own sister was aiding his beloved woman by sending constant updates about him.

Just thinking about it was heart-wrenching. These thoughts saddened Beryl, and he shook his head with a heavy heart.

Colton happened to catch Beryl's disappointed expression and assumed Beryl had a screw loose. He picked up a napkin nearby, gracefully wiped his mouth, slowly rose to his feet, and announced, "Let's go."

With that, the other two also stood up, but they didn't seem eager to leave first.

Colton realized that they were expecting him to foot the bill. He turned around with a grim expression

and exited the private room. Both of them were well-off, and this amount was insignificant to them. Why were they being so tight-fisted? Who had they learned this from?

"Nicole, allow me to escort you home."

As soon as Colton stepped out, he spotted Zachary and Nicole. His eyes flashed with anger.

"Colton, what are you standing there for? Don't tell me you're reluctant to pay the bill?" Wendy, still in the private room, saw Colton standing motionless outside the door. She didn't notice Nicole, so she decided to tease him loudly.

"Yeah, Colton, don't tell me you're penniless?" Beryl also joined in the jesting. However, the moment he stepped out of the private room, he realized his blunder.

Nicole, Zachary, and Chloe were all staring at them, and it appeared that Colton was also watching them.

Oh, God, here we go… Zachary couldn't help but shudder.
