Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1209 Give Him to Me

Nicole realized that her expression had changed unpleasantly and belatedly reacted by trying to school her expression back to normalcy and nodding. Then, she said, "I-I'm fine." However, the words sounded implausible even to her, and her expression remained quite perturbed.

After hearing this, Colton frowned and said quietly, "Since you say we're married, we shouldn't be keeping anything from each other. You can tell me whatever is on your mind." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The sincerity in his eyes made her throat tighten. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes as she asked, "Do you still remember what you did when you still had the voodoo bug in you?"

Then, he looked into her clear eyes and shook his head candidly. "I don't remember."

When he woke up, he had no recollection of being under the influence of the voodoo bug. He only retained the memories of things that happened up to two years prior.

Nicole's eyes flashed briefly with disappointment upon hearing this.

However, Colton saw her reaction and deduced something. "Did something happen while I had the voodoo bug in me?" he asked calmly.

She didn't know what to say in response to that question. Obviously, I can't question whether he slept with Evelyn during that time, can I? Though I have faith in him, I am aware that while under the influence of the voodoo bug, he did not have complete control over himself. Moreover, she had total control over him, even if he slept with her… Her heart twisted in agony at the thought of this.

Then, she smiled bitterly as she shook her head and answered, "It's all in the past. Let's just forget

about it."

After reading Evelyn's message, my heart started to ache for no apparent reason. Suddenly, I don't think I can bring myself to let Colton recover his memory. If he recalls being with Evelyn… The thought of this made Nicole feel even more uncomfortable.

After a while, she exhaled and flashed a wry smile. "Since you can't remember anything, let's forget about it. I'll try to think of something else. You can stay here in the medical base for now."

On the other hand, he could tell from her reaction that she was keeping something from him. Nonetheless, he would not pressure her into telling him what it was if she did not wish to do so. Hence, he simply hummed in agreement.

After that, she gave him one last look before walking away, but as soon as she stepped outside the room, she received a phone call from Evelyn.

"Nicole, did you see the message I sent you?" Evelyn questioned with a smug smile.

As soon as Nicole heard that, she clenched her fists and asked sternly, "What do you want?"

"It's simple. Just give Collie back to me. He's forgotten all about you anyway," Evelyn stated loudly.

However, Nicole frowned and snorted in response. "Oh? So, what if he has forgotten about me? He's still willing to be with me, not you."

Those words were enough to make Evelyn flare up from humiliation. She clenched her jaw and snapped, "Evelyn, don't forget I'm carrying his baby!"

"Uh-huh! If you want to keep the baby, I'll let him provide child support every month. If you don't want to keep the baby, I'll pay for your abortion. You can make the choice yourself." While saying this, Nicole was behaving in an unnervingly calm manner, as evidenced by her voice, which was crisp and indifferent.

On the contrary, Evelyn was on the verge of exploding. "You can't do this, Evelyn!" she shrieked. "This is Collie's personal affair. You have no right to butt into this!"

After hearing this, Nicole sneered and responded evenly, "I have no right, huh? I'm his lawfully wedded wife. The law recognizes our union. What makes you think I don't have the right to get involved? You used your tricks to get your hands on Colton, Evelyn, but I'm not mad because you don't have a place in his heart. He only did what he did because he was being controlled by the voodoo bug."
