Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1196 Starting Again

Hayden looked at Colton with flickering eyes. "That's not it." He liked Colton, of course. This man was his father, but should he and Nicole become enemies, he would choose his mother without hesitation. Nicole raised him and survived their hardest days. He would never abandon her.

Colton looked at the resolute boy and chuckled, then he patted Hayden's face. He said hoarsely, "Don't worry. I'll try to regain my memories ASAP."

Hayden eased up a little after hearing his father's words. He looked up and nodded. "Do it ASAP. Mommy's pregnant now, so don't make her mad."

Pregnant? A hint of surprise flared in Colton's eyes. She didn't tell me she's pregnant. It was a weird feeling knowing he would be a father again soon, but he didn't say anything else. He nodded and grunted.

They rested up at the Gould Residence. Aside from Colton losing two years of memories, everything else went on normally. Benjamin came to see him for a bit, but they only spoke a little behind closed doors.

Once he was done talking to Colton, Benjamin came to see Nicole. Benjamin was already in his fifties, and yet he didn't even have that many wrinkles. He was in a black suit, the air around him solemn and reserved. He looked just like his son but with a more experienced look in his eyes. He had an air of calmness around him.

He looked at Nicole and asked, "Have you come up with a plan?"

Nicole hadn't really talked with Benjamin. Even after her marriage with Colton, she'd only seen

Benjamin a few times. She remembered him as a man of few words, yet even in his silence, she could feel the regality flowing from him. It was like he was born with it. Like he was born to be a ruler. "Yeah. I'm taking him to Durobrivae. Their equipment is better suited for his recovery," said Nicole softly.

Benjamin leaned on the wall, tapping his finger on it. He mused for a moment and said, "What if he can never remember you?"

Nicole froze for a moment, sorrow quickly flashing in her eyes, but she perked herself up later, smiling. "If he can't remember me, we can always start our relationship over."

Benjamin gave the brave Nicole a look of approval. She was no weakling. Every time she ran into a problem, she would tackle it head-on instead of just moping around. He liked this part of her.

He'd looked into Colton's case. If it weren't for Nicole pulling the bug out, he'd be nothing but a living corpse for the rest of his life. He couldn't attack Evelyn just yet, given that she was a part of the Wrenns, but that didn't mean he couldn't do something to trip her up. "Tell me if you need anything. We'll give you our full support." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Nicole was touched. Benjamin didn't say anything else after that, but their family's support was the best thing she could ask for. Nicole and Colton stayed in the Gould Residence for the next few days.

Rita came to see Colton. The moment she found out he was an amnesiac, she quickly sought Siobhan out. "Siobhan, I need you to send Evelyn away. Back to the Wrenn Residence or anywhere, I don't care. Do not let her hang around Colton and Nicole," she said solemnly.

Siobhan knew what she was worried about. The instant Evelyn learned Colton had lost his memories, she'd been showing up around him more frequently, trying to worm her way into his side.
