Chapter 274 I Can’t Lose You
Whitney looked at Nicole’s dark expression and then she comforted, “Miss Nicole, don’t worry. If even I can find out
the truth, the Gardner Family can surely find it too. Queenie is finished!”
Nicole shook her head. She didn’t care about Queenie now. What she cared about were herself and Hayden.
“Whitney?” Nicole suddenly called out, to which Whitney hurriedly responded, “I’m here. What’s the matter?”
“Is news about Colton’s child going viral online?” Nicole asked.
Since last night, Nicole has been in a slump and didn’t pay attention to any news on the Internet.
Whitney knew what Nicole was thinking, so the former didn’t hide it and said, “Yes. Wendy’s birthday party was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlively. Your design, Triton Studio’s jewelry, and Mrs. Gardner’s words were all trending.”
Nicole closed her eyes as a hint of helplessness flashed across her face. If the Gardner Family didn’t suppress the
news, it meant they would never give up on Hayden.
When Whitney finished speaking, she hesitated as she saw Nicole’s tiredness. However, she still asked, “Miss Nicole,
did you and President Gardner come to a conclusion during your discussion this morning?”
Nicole opened her eyes and rubbed her temples. “He said he is willing to marry me and give Hayden and I an
official status.”
Whitney was surprised upon hearing that.
The Gardner Family was amazing. Although Gardner Apparel was not as well-known, the technology of their
businesses was one of the best in the world. Such an influential family business would surely be advantageous.
“Did you agree?” Whitney asked with gleaming eyes.
Whitney knew about Zachary’s crush on Nicole. Presently, he was still abroad, resisting his father for Nicole.
“No.” Nicole nodded.
Although she didn’t dislike Colton, it did not mean she would marry him. They had a professional relationship and
they didn’t have to force themselves into a marriage.
Looking at Nicole’s hesitation, Whitney finally shut up.
“Miss Nicole, please think about this. You can discuss it with Hayden too. He is not as fragile as you think.”
That kiddo is very clever. He must have already gotten the information that I investigated earlier.
No wonder he’s always so clingy to Colton. He must have figured out his birth father is Colton from the beginning.
“I know. Thank you, Whitney,” Nicole replied with a wry smile.
She had never been so confused since she gave birth to Hayden four years ago.
Meanwhile, Whitney didn’t say anything else and went upstairs with her laptop, leaving Nicole alone.
…
At 8.00PM, a doorbell rang in the villa. Nicole wondered who would come over so late.
As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted with a hug. Nicole knew it was Zachary as soon as she smelled
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe familiar scent.
Zachary hugged Nicole so tightly that he almost crushed her in his arms. He greedily breathed in her scent as they
stood at the doorway, and they hugged for five minutes.
After a while, Nicole was uncomfortable being squished in his embrace, so she pushed on his chest and asked,
“Zach, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Zachary finally let go of Nicole. “Nicole, I’m scared. I’m afraid of losing you!”
Nicole looked up and found herself face to face with a fatigued Zachary. He had stubble on his chin and he looked
rather haggard.
Seeing Zachary looking at herself with watery eyes, Nicole knew what he was feeling.
“Let’s talk after you come in. We can’t just stand at the door, can we?” Nicole murmured with a light smile.
Zachary came closer. As soon as he closed the door, he hugged Nicole and kissed her.
