Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1248 Finding Evelyn

Seeing that Nicole had agreed, Evelyn didn't remain for long as she turned around and followed the person out.

"Nicole, why are you asking me to let her stay?"

When only Colton and Nicole remained in the office, Colton hastily walked up to Nicole and spoke worriedly. He was extremely anxious, fearing that Nicole would be upset because of this incident.

"Don't worry about me, Colton. Relax, it'll be fine." Nicole curved her eyes as she smiled, her pretty eyes gleaming as she looked straight at Colton.

Colton stared at Evelyn's receding figure, deep in thought as he silently held Nicole in his embrace. He gently patted the woman on her back. Nicole, just give me a little more time. I swear I'll find out the truth, he thought.

After Evelyn left the company, she felt uneasy as she looked at the person following right behind her. She wasn't a criminal, so why should she be escorted like this?

"I can go back on my own, so you can leave now." Evelyn frowned lightly as she said.

The person glanced at Evelyn, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.

After all, Colton didn't insist on him sending the woman back. Since she didn't want to be escorted, he wouldn't force her either.

Evelyn let out a sigh of relief. She was about to leave when she noticed Ryan standing in a corner,

looking at her. She frowned deeply. What was he doing here?

"Miss Wrenn, you left too suddenly just now. There's something I want to talk to you about, so I'm wondering if you'd humor me."

When Ryan realized that he had been found out, he didn't hide at all. He walked right up to Evelyn and spoke in an extremely polite tone, looking like a gentleman. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She looked at Ryan and examined him. She knew a little about the Yaels. Even though Logan carried all the charges alone, any discerning person could see that he valued Ryan greatly.

How could Logan have caused such large-scale trouble in the Yael Family alone? Still, this was already a publicly-known secret. After all, there was no evidence that Ryan was involved in this, so the police had no reason to arrest him.

Colton defeated the Yaels, whereas Evelyn had a complicated relationship with Colton. In every aspect Evelyn could think of, she had to stay as far away from Ryan as possible.

"Sorry, but I'm busy." Evelyn decisively declined Ryan's invitation. She didn't want to get caught up in any mess.

Ryan raised his eyebrow, behaving as if getting rejected by Evelyn was within his expectations. He continued, "Fine, but Miss Wrenn, once you've given birth to the child, what happens when Nicole discovers that the child isn't Colton's? What consequences do you think you'll face?"

Evelyn stood frozen on the spot, looking at Ryan in shock. She was extremely terrified at the same time. How did Ryan know about all this?

"You must be kidding, Mr. Yael—"

Before Evelyn could finish speaking, Ryan interrupted her right away and suggested, "There's a cafe nearby, so let's go there and sit down. Don't worry; it won't take too much of your time."

With that, Ryan turned around and left, heading for the cafe right away. He didn't seem to be concerned about whether Evelyn would follow him. Alternatively, he had absolute confidence that Evelyn would tag along.

Evelyn stood where she was, biting her lips slightly as she watched Ryan's figure getting further and further away. She gritted her teeth, then decided to go after him.

Never mind, she would hear what he had to say first.

Ryan located a hidden private room, then invited Evelyn to take a seat. After ordering some warm water, he explained gently, "You're a pregnant woman, so you should drink more water."

Evelyn didn't respond. She looked around her surroundings curiously, wondering why Ryan would be so familiar with this place. Moreover, she also realized that the staff here were very respectful toward Ryan.

"Miss Wrenn, this cafe is part of my property. Even though the Yaels have fallen to ruin, I still have a way of keeping the things I don't intend to lose."

Ryan seemed to have seen through Evelyn's thoughts as he explained to her.

Evelyn widened her eyes in surprise, her pupils dilating in an instant.
