Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1297 Maternal Instinct



Chapter 1297 Maternal Instinct

Zachary and Nicole would fly off two days after the event ended. Zachary wanted to give Nicole some time to prepare so that their negotiations would go smoother.

Nicole planned to go to the hospital before she left. She didn't tell anyone, and she quickly put her plan into action after she had decided. Alone, she hitched a ride to the hospital. She went by a lot of spots where she argued with Colton and lamented. I wish him happiness.

"You're saying she's not even showing symptoms of poison? She's normal?" Ryan was surprised to hear that. That guy's capable. He cleared the infection. That was my trump card.

"And she's pregnant. Not sure for how long, but I guess it's two months," Evelyn whispered, holding her phone. Still, she kept looking over her shoulder to see if Colton had noticed her.

Ever since Ryan told Evelyn that Colton had done the paternity test, Evelyn realized Colton had been treating her differently. Most importantly, he took her to a new home, and only he, Evelyn, and a servant were around. There was no butler and the annoying servants. Evelyn smiled. I don't care what happens to Nicole. Colton's mine now. Forever.

"Two months pregnant?" Ryan couldn't believe it. The supreme voodoo bug didn't leave any irreversible complications? "I see." Ryan talked a bit more before hanging up.

He had no idea how powerful his backer was, but judging from the story, he knew that person was more powerful than he thought. Before this, he thought the person was doing something illegal, though only small-time. The Yaels couldn't do anything conspicuous if it was illegal, and that person wasn't in a hurry. They would only purchase from the Yaels based on how much they could offer. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Ryan's grandfather tried to wheedle some information out of the backer before, but all he found out was that the backer only did business with them. This was proof that the person wasn't aiming for anything grand. They just wanted to make some money.

Ryan poured himself a glass of red wine and took a sip, then he fell into his thoughts. I have to be careful. Tricks aren't enough anymore. I need another trump card.

Evelyn carefully deleted the call history and felt her way to the bedroom with nothing but a dim light. They might live in the same house, but Colton almost never came back.

She knew why. He wasn't like his old self, wasting the night away; he was hard at work. She wasn't going to tell Ryan that. That wasn't something Ryan should know. The only information she would provide was about Nicole.

She didn't care what happened to Nicole as long as Colton belonged to her. Evelyn looked at the empty bedroom. It didn't look lived in at all, and she sighed. She didn't want to live this kind of life.

The nanny came in holding the baby. "Miss Wrenn, the baby's crying again."

The baby's cries echoed across the house, and Evelyn had a headache. Children's cries were the most annoying thing in the world. "Why did you come to me? Colton hired you for a reason!" Evelyn frowned in displeasure.

She didn't like this nanny. It was because she would never call her "madam", and she failed to take care of the child. She would knock on her door late at night to get her to calm the kid down. If she comes to me every time the kid cries, then why did we even hire her?
