Chapter 251 Pondering

Nicole could see how Colton’s face darkened immediately after she told him that.

He proceeded to place aside the medicine that he had initially brought to the corner of his mouth. He might not have much interest in women, but it didn’t mean that he wanted to be a eunuch.

She carefully took a step back when she saw how Colton was holding back. “Uh… President Gardner,” she squeaked. “I will stay in the guestroom beside your room. You can call me anytime if you feel unwell somewhere.”

Her hand was already holding the doorknob before she finished her sentence.

The man nodded and gave her his thanks in a low voice.

Nicole had a feeling that something was going to happen as she continued to look at his dark expression, so she quickly opened the door and left Colton to himself.

The only things that tickled his senses in the quiet room now were the smell of the medicine wafting through the air and the heat in the lower part of his body.

This was the first time in his life he had ever felt so helpless despite the humiliation; yet, for the sake of his happiness for the remainder of his life, Colton had no choice but to reach for his nether region.

Nicole headed to the bed to lie down as soon as she entered the guest room. Even though he didn’t have a servant at home, he always had someone to clean the house. That was why even the unoccupied guest room wasn’t dirty.

She didn’t know why but she couldn’t fall asleep. Memories of the kiss Colton gave her earlier seem to come rushing in whenever she closed her eyes. She reached out to touch her cheeks, only to realize

that they felt warm against her palms. It was probably because she was kissed by him earlier.

A frown soon appeared on her face as she stared at the ceiling. She didn’t understand why she suddenly felt nostalgic when he kissed her.

Thinking of this, Nicole abruptly shook her head fiercely to remove all the messy thoughts in her head.

Instead, she closed her eyes as she willed herself to stop thinking about it.

Nicole was sure that Queenie was the culprit who drugged Colton’s drink in order to force him into doing the deed. What Nicole couldn’t figure out was why Queenie would do something like this.

The one thing that Queenie wasn’t wrong about was that she was Colton’s fiancée. There was absolutely no need for her to pull something like this.

Could it be that nothing had happened between them even though they were engaged?

And on top of that, Queenie must have felt the urgency after Nicole had brought someone from Triton Studio to expose Queenie’s deeds. That must have prompted her to seal the deal with Colton.

Nicole was confused again when she thought about this. Why would Colton make Queenie his fiancée if nothing had happened between them?

It seemed to be more confusing the more she thought about it, but then again, neither Queenie nor Colton had anything to do with her.

As Nicole relaxed, she perked up her ears to check if there was any sound coming from Colton’s room, only for her to not pick up anything at all. It might be because he drank the medicine or the soundproofing of the house was good, but she didn’t hear a sound.

Her body was finally fatigued after she stayed awake thinking about this and that. It wasn’t long before she couldn’t stay awake any longer and drifted off to sleep.

Nicole was woken up by the knocks on her door the next morning. After she opened her eyes, she rubbed them while her other hand reached for her phone. She glanced at the screen, only to see that it was already 9.30AM.

It surprised her how she had such a deep sleep here. She then quickly rose up and opened the door, only to find Colton standing there.

Lifting her chin to look at him, Nicole noticed that he looked a lot better than he did yesterday. The healthy flush of his cheeks was back. He must have recovered, she thought. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Colton, too, lowered his gaze as he looked at her. Judging from how wrinkly her clothes were, he could guess that she hadn’t taken her clothes off when she went to bed last night.

As she had just woken up, Nicole was struggling to keep her eyes open. At the moment, she had what looked like tumbleweed instead of hair on her head.

Still, she was the first one to speak. “Are you alright now, President Gardner?”

He nodded and replied, “I’m alright now, Nicky. I owe you a thank you from last night.”
