Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1249 Work Together

"I only have a simple favor to ask you from, Miss Wrenn, and that is to work together with me." Ryan smiled charmingly.

Evelyn lowered her head and fiddled her fingers as she hesitated. She didn't expect Ryan to be a powerful force when the Yael Family had already fallen to its doom. However, she knew nothing good would happen if she had a close relationship with Ryan since she and Colton now had a stable relationship.

"You're already pregnant, Miss Wrenn. If I'm not mistaken, the child is Colton's, right?" Ryan asked impatiently. He knew that he needed to be patient if he wanted to succeed. As long as Evelyn was willing to help him, his plan would almost be completed.

Evelyn remained silent while waiting for Ryan to tell her his plan. After all, she knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, for everything had a price to pay.

Ryan had already paid the price with his family's reputation, yet Evelyn didn't know what else she had to lose.

"It looks like my guess is right." Ryan wasn't mad at Evelyn's unresponsive manner. Instead, he said patiently, "Don't you think it's naive of you to think that your child will be yours after it is born?"

"What are you talking about? This is my child. It will be mine." Evelyn frowned. She had never thought about this before.

Ryan shook his head and smiled. "Let's put it this way. Whether the child is Colton's or not, do you think he'd let you be his wife? After all, he loves Nicole dearly. You are nothing but a mere baby-making

machine."

To be honest, he is right, thought Evelyn as she looked down.

"Even if you bribed the doctor, as long as the child is not Colton's, Nicole would be able to verify it with her research center," Ryan said calmly as if he was stating a fact.

In that split second, realization dawned upon Evelyn, and her eyes widened as she stared at Ryan intently. Fear crept into her, and she trembled vigorously. After all, Colton wasn't the father of her child; she was just using this child to strengthen her relationship with Colton. However, if the truth about this child was exposed, Colton and Nicole would never forgive her.

"Well, have you made up your mind? Even if you don't care about the kid, think about yourself." Ryan spoke deliberately since he knew what she was worried about.

At his words, Evelyn raised her head and looked at Ryan. "Tell me what I should do, then." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

After they had talked in the room for an hour, Evelyn left. She had to get back since Colton was almost getting off work. Otherwise, she would blow her cover.

A glint flashed across Ryan's eyes as he watched her leave. My plan is halfway done. All that's left is up to her, he thought.

"Miss Wrenn." Roxanna frowned as she looked at Evelyn, who just returned. However, she remained polite. Not long ago, Roxanna got a call from Nicole, saying that Evelyn would stay in the research center until the child was born. Thus, Roxanna wondered if anything had happened without her knowing again.

"Thank you for helping me during this time, Miss Miller."

Evelyn's attitude wasn't what Roxanna had expected. However, she said nothing and told the staff member to lead Evelyn back to where she belonged. "Please take Miss Wrenn back to her room." Roxanna decided to leave things as it was before Nicole returned.

"Logan's case is already settled, Nicole. The death penalty will be delayed for two years." Colton grabbed Nicole's hand and enjoyed the peaceful moment.

Nicole nodded and caressed her stomach. "I'm still worried about Ryan. After all, there are still many strong forces other than the Yael Family that we don't know of."
