Chapter 976 Her Appetite Gets Better
Nicole looked at the ground without remarking on Colton's words.
It seems like Julia has gotten her life back on track.
Meanwhile, Nicole continued to have the sour straws candy. The extreme sourness eased the discomfort in her
stomach.
Since she was enjoying the candies, Colton went to the kitchen and whipped up some food.
Nicole hadn't eaten anything all day. Every time she ate something, she felt sick and had the urge to retch. It always
ended in her throwing up. Now, the candies had aroused her appetite. The aroma of food Colton was busy
preparing became quite an enjoyment for her.
Nicole swallowed in anticipation. After having some candies, she could feel herself regaining a little strength.
On the other hand, Colton was very thoughtful. He set the chowder and the food on a tray before bringing them to
her and putting them on the coffee table.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole had a spoonful of chowder first. The softness of the chowder moisturized her throat and warmed her empty
stomach.
The combination of the chowder and the snacks was appetizing. As a result, she finished a whole bowl of chowder
on her own.
After the meal, she contentedly lay on the couch and yawned.
Her eyes watered as she yawned. Sleep gradually crept up on her. After getting pregnant, Nicole always got sleepy
after a meal like a child normally would.
A huge and expensive chandelier hung from the ceiling. Its blinding lights stung her eyes. She narrowed her eyes to
limit the light entering her eyes, but the lights falling on her eyelids were stinging all the same.
Thus, she simply blocked out the lights with an arm above her eyes. Fluttering her eyes closed, she took a nap.
After Colton cleaned up the table, he turned to watch Nicole, who was napping on the couch.
She wore an oversized long-sleeved shirt and a pair of tight black pants today. The tight pants did a good job of
accentuating her curvy hips.
Since she covered her eyes with an arm, her oversized sweatshirt had ridden up, bunching up right around her
navel.
Colton's eyes darkened as he took in the sight. His dark gaze shone with a hint of lust.
However, he eventually managed to suppress his desire. After tidying up the kitchen, he walked over to the couch
and carried Nicole in his arms.
Nicole thrashed in his arms as she was surprised by Colton's sudden move. However, she heard a warning right
after she started to struggle.
"Don't move. Trust me, you don't want my hands to slip. You're the one suffering the consequences if you fall."
Nicole stopped struggling at his warning. Removing her arm from above her eyes, she opened her round eyes and
looked up, only to be greeted by the sight of Colton's chiseled jawline.
"I'm fine. You can put me down. I can walk." Nicole was embarrassed. She originally planned to take a nap on the
couch as she thought there was enough space on the couch to rest for a while.
However, she changed her mind when Colton began to carry her up the stairs. I'm completely fine with walking on

Meanwhile, Colton didn't reply. He carried her in his arms as he ascended the stairs.
Nicole couldn't help but ruefully notice how steady his arms were. Even though I'm not heavy, the numbers don't
lie. Back when she was staying in Lome, she faced life-threatening situations every day. Thus, her skills to fight
another person improved a lot over the six months she spent in Lome.
Besides, she was tall and had defined muscles. Therefore, she was slightly heavier compared to ordinary women.
However, Colton always carried her with ease as if she had no weight. He could walk steadily in such a situation,
and his arms never showed any hint of shaking.
"Don't be embarrassed in my presence," Colton answered in a hoarse voice as he carried her upstairs.
He put her on the bed before thoughtfully removing her shoes and socks. His thoughtfulness is too much! Nicole
blushed at the sight, trying to get her legs free.
"Do you want to clean up? I can get you a wet towel," Colton suggested.
Nicole's cheeks were burning red at his suggestion. Shaking her head, she turned down his offer. "There's no need!"
I'm just a little weak. I'm still capable of taking care of myself! He doesn't have to do everything for me
