Chapter 237 Lunch
Colton also came for lunch. He was not surprised to see Nicole and Hayden.
There was a slight smile on his face.
Hayden was delighted when he saw Colton coming over. In a flash, he rushed out of Anna’s arms and ran over to
Colton.
“Mr. Handsome!” Hayden rushed into Colton’s arms.
Colton liked Hayden, so he picked up the child and let Hayden sit in his arms. “Hayden, long time no see.”
Hayden grabbed Colton and sadly said, “Mom is a bad guy. She won’t let me play with you!”
After speaking, he pouted in dissatisfaction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtColton laughed and squinted as he looked at Hayden’s cute face that was so similar to his. He couldn’t help it when
his heart softened.
Hayden leaned on Colton and talked for a while before returning to Anna.
When Wendy saw Colton returning, she rushed to him and talked about the morning’s event with resentment.
“Colton, did you know that the jewelry from Triton Studio that Queenie rented is fake? If it wasn’t for Miss Nicole, I
would be shamed!”
As Colton heard Queenie’s name, he frowned. He looked up and his voice became deeper as he asked, “Really?”
Wendy thought Colton was going to favor Queenie, so she was dissatisfied. Then, she pursed her lips and said, “Of
course it’s true! How could I lie to you?”
Colton smiled softly. Seeing that Wendy was getting angry, he comforted, “Of course not. This is ridiculous; how
dare she lie to our princess?”
When Wendy heard Colton’s words, the dissatisfaction on her face finally dissipated. Then, she said with a cold
snort, “She tried too hard to keep up her appearances. Not even Mom could rent the jewelry, so obviously Queenie
couldn’t too!”
The incident made Wendy’s prejudice against Queenie get deeper.
After a few words of comfort, Colton suddenly smiled at Nicole.
Nicole was taken aback by such a glance. Looking at his handsome face with a half-smile, she turned her head
away in embarrassment.
Looking at Nicole’s shy demeanor, Colton smiled even brighter.
After Edith had served the food, Benjamin finally went downstairs.
Wendy hugged Benjamin and told him the whole fiasco again. She complained all about Queenie, who rented a
fake.
Although Benjamin was strict, he was fond of his children, especially his daughter. Hence, he kept comforting
Wendy.
After that, he looked up at Nicole.
Although Benjamin was old, he still had discerning eyes and looked like a shrewd businessman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe looked at Nicole and said deeply, “Thank you for solving this matter, Miss Anderson. Otherwise, the
consequences would be unimaginable.”
Nicole didn’t dare to take the credit for herself, so she shook her head and said, “No. Kevin Carter was a designer
from Triton Studio. The jewelry created by him is similar to a genuine product. If it weren’t for Mr. Freeman, I
wouldn’t have been able to distinguish between the real thing and the fake.”
What Nicole said also gave Anna enough respect.
Sure enough, Anna immediately supported Nicole.
“That’s right. One would not know he was fired from Triton Studio long ago. We should thank Nicole; otherwise, we
would be a joke.”
Nicole pursed her lips and smiled but did not say anything further.
Everyone silently enjoyed the meal at the table and didn’t say much.
After the meal, Benjamin didn’t stay any longer. He held his forehead and said, “I’m getting old, so I feel sleepy
after a certain time. All of you should wait here for Richard. If he comes, just go on without me.”
Wendy accompanied Benjamin upstairs, leaving Anna, Colton, Nicole, and Hayden downstairs.
