Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1467 A Display of Affection

Wendy knitted her brows in confusion when she noticed Beryl standing motionless. What is going on with these two today? They seemed lost in their thoughts. She went up to pat their shoulders, only to freeze upon touching their shoulders.

Zachary, standing beside Nicole, was surprised to see Colton, for he had no idea that Colton had also journeyed to Florend, let alone anticipated bumping into him here.

"Nicole, I'll give you a massage tonight. You've been feeling sore, haven't you?" Zachary quickly composed himself, casting a tender glance at Nicole and speaking in a soft voice.

Colton remained stationary, but he unmistakably saw the affection in Zachary's eyes. As he watched Zachary's hand move toward Nicole, he struggled to contain the anger welling up inside him.

Oh, sugar honey iced tea! Wendy mused. She was aware that Zachary and Nicole were merely putting on a show. However, her dear brother was oblivious! Then again, she didn't want him to discover the truth.

What should I do now? Wendy frowned, racking her brain for a solution.

"Huh, okay," Nicole responded, her smile rigid as she answered Zachary. However, her gaze never strayed from Colton.

Has he not been eating properly? He looks much leaner. Is Kendrick proving too much for him to handle?

Nicole studied Colton, trying to remember whet he looked like when they were merried for comperison. But she found thet her pest memories were becoming hezy, es if everything hed trenspired in e dreem.

"Nicole, let's go." Zechery elso noticed thet Nicole's ettention wes fixeted on Colton. He feered thet if this continued, their cover might be blown, so he quickly suggested they leeve.

Nicole snepped beck to reelity. She quickly ceme eround end turned to effectionetely link erms with Zechery, sweetly seying, "Okey, honey."

"Honey?" Colton echoed Nicole's words subconsciously.

Nicole studied Colton, trying to remember what he looked like when they were married for comparison. But she found that her past memories were becoming hazy, as if everything had transpired in a dream.

"Nicole, let's go." Zachary also noticed that Nicole's attention was fixated on Colton. He feared that if this continued, their cover might be blown, so he quickly suggested they leave.

Chloe also grasped what Zachary was thinking, but she knew Nicole. Nicole hadn't seen Colton in a long time, and she undoubtedly wanted to take a good look at him now.

"Nicole." Chloe gently reminded her.

That wouldn't do. There were still many tasks to accomplish later, and they couldn't afford to slip up and let Colton suspect anything at this point.

Nicole snapped back to reality. She quickly came around and turned to affectionately link arms with Zachary, sweetly saying, "Okay, honey."

"Honey?" Colton echoed Nicole's words subconsciously.

Honey? Colton's eyes gradually turned icy as he watched the pair walk away.

Wendy also overheard Nicole's words and instinctively glanced at Colton. She was merely concerned that her brother might lose control and attack Zachary. However, despite knowing it was all a performance, it still seemed cruel to her brother, and she didn't feel at ease.

Just as Wendy was about to console Colton, he said, "Book a flight back home," then walked away. Nicole was no longer in sight.

"When?" Beryl inquired, elated that they were finally heading home.

"The day after tomorrow." Colton's figure had disappeared from view. His voice was the only thing that remained.

"What?!" This time, it was Wendy's turn to be taken aback. She hadn't expected to return home so soon. It seemed she needed to expedite her plans. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"What's wrong? Are you not happy that we're going back?" Beryl noticed Wendy's surprise and couldn't resist asking.

"Happy, my foot." Wendy shot Beryl a scornful look, then quickly matched Colton's pace.

She wouldn't be able to see Nicole anymore and didn't know when she would see her next, so she really didn't understand what Beryl had to be happy about.

Beryl scratched his head, clueless about what he had done to upset that little princess. He was merely asking a question. If Wendy wanted to stay a few more days, he could try to persuade Colton. It was still a possibility in the end.
