Chapter 1383 A Love-Hate Relationship

Feeling frustrated, Beryl returned to the hotel. This time, he had wasted his time; Chloe was unwilling to tell him

anything. However, he acknowledged that he had been too reckless.

Beryl decided to learn from this lesson and prepare for his next move. Despite not achieving much, he had at least

discovered that Chloe and Nicole's relationship was even better than he had imagined. If that were the case, Chloe

must have a clear understanding of certain matters concerning Nicole.

"What's on your mind?"

As Beryl pondered his next move, a voice suddenly sounded beside him, startling him.

He turned to see Wendy sitting on the couch, and he instinctively patted his chest, feeling taken aback. "Why are

you here? Isn't your brother at the hotel?"

Wendy rolled her eyes, her irritation evident. "Yeah, he's not here. I can't just go out though, so I came to you."

"Although your brother and I are good friends, you have to remember that we're of the opposite sex. It's not

appropriate for you to just barge in like this."

Having recovered from the initial shock, Beryl sat down next to her and lectured the young lady earnestly. He

wondered where Colton could be at this hour. Could he be with Nicole? That would make for an interesting

spectacle, though unfortunately, he wouldn't be there to witness it. Instead, he had to deal with Wendy.

Noticing Beryl's unfriendly gaze, Wendy retorted, "What's with that look? Are you repulsed by me?"

Beryl nodded without hesitation, finally admitting his true feelings. This young lady was perceptive; he couldn't deny

that.

If it weren't for her, he might have been able to enjoy the showdown between Colton and Nicole.

"Tsk, like I wanted to come. If my brother didn't insist on keeping me here, would I bother?" Wendy retorted

unreservedly, lounging with crossed legs. She helped herself to some fruits brought by room service, displaying an

air of ease.

Beryl didn't engage further; he silently looked out of the window, where the darkness prevailed.

He turned his head back, only to see Wendy looking dejected. It was the first time he had seen her in such a state.

He pursed his lips, wanting to voice words of concern but hesitating in the end.

Considering Wendy's stubborn nature, she'd likely get angry if he asked. If she stormed off somewhere and

something happened, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Colton when he returned.

Reluctantly, Beryl turned his head back to the window, focusing on the pitch-black view outside.

Wendy's mind was filled with scenes of Nicole and Colton's interactions, including their recent encounter at the club.

Not a single word was exchanged—just disdainful glances—and then they passed each other by.

Wendy knew her brother still cared about Nicole, but he couldn't handle the fact that she was pregnant with a baby

that wasn't his.

Frankly, even Wendy had been surprised when she learned about Nicole's pregnancy. She hadn't noticed before.

When Nicole had confessed to her, she hadn't mentioned her pregnancy.

Though she trusted Nicole, the timing seemed off.

"When everything is over, the truth about Nicole's situation will come out. You don't need to worry anymore." Beryl

had been observing Wendy out of the corner of his eye. Finally, he squeezed out these words of comfort.

He was genuinely concerned that Wendy couldn't deal with the situation and visited Nicole's place late at night to

uncover the truth. After all, Wendy had admired Nicole so much. It was natural for her to struggle with accepting all

this when faced with such unexpected circumstances.

However, if this continued, Wendy might end up doing something that would shock everyone.
