That made Colton grin and his joy was visible all over his face. "Why? Are you jealous that Evelyn and I are getting
married?" he looked at Nicole and asked smilingly.
While speaking, he stood up and began strolling toward Nicole, appearing to be in a good mood.
Then, he stopped only when he was standing before her. As Nicole wasn't wearing high heels, he was one head
taller than her.
He had just taken his bath and the fragrance of the body shampoo was still lingering on his skin. Furthermore, the
pajamas he was wearing appeared to be intentionally undressed, exposing his fair skin. It was as if tempting one to
reach out and touch it.
Nicole quickly took a step back and denied, "I'm not."

have no opinion on whom you are marrying, but don't implicate Hayden," she muttered. "Hayden's news is already
making the rounds on the Internet. I hope that you can—"
Before she could finish her words, Colton interrupted, "It is true that Hayden is my son. There's nothing to explain."
He spoke matter-of-factly. After finishing his sentence, he turned around and walked back to his bed, thereafter
sitting on it.
Nicole was rendered speechless. Hayden was Colton's son, but she was the one who raised the boy single-handedly
for all these years. Her relationship with Colton was only for that one night!
After calming herself down again, she said, "President Gardner, after you marry Miss Wrenn, you will have your own
children. With both of your families' strong financial backgrounds, you can have as many children as you want.
Please let Hayden go."
Colton's expression became increasingly dark as he heard Nicole's words. His deep gaze revealed a tinge of danger
when he looked at Nicole and replied, "What exactly do you mean by letting Hayden go? Nicole, Hayden is my son.
It's not even an issue for me to publicly acknowledge him."
"You can't do that!" Nicole exclaimed, her voice trembling. "Evelyn will never allow Hayden to be near you."
Based on Nicole's understanding of Evelyn, she knew the woman would surely find a way to get rid of Hayden if he
entered the Gardner Family.
Sensing her panic, Nicole closed her eyes. Lowering her voice, she continued, "I was the one who raised Hayden
and I can take care of him as well. Since you are getting married to Miss Wrenn, we shall just cut our ties. Don't
worry. Once Betty's condition improves, I will leave the country with them and will never disturb your life with Miss
Wrenn."
When she was speaking, Colton's expression became increasingly grim. Before she could react, he suddenly

That made her unstable and caused her to fall into his arms.
His scent immediately filled her nose. Nicole struggled to get up out of reflex, but Colton had her hands tightly
clasped within his.
Her eyes turned slightly red. I shouldn't have come here. I am walking right into his trap!
"Let go of me!" she yelled.
Colton, however, wrapped his hands tightly around her waist. His fingers touched a spot, causing Nicole's body to
soften instantly, making her fall back into his embrace.
"President Gardner, please be respectful. You are marrying Miss Wrenn. It is inappropriate for us to be like this!"
Nicole muttered through gritted teeth.
But Colton had always been brazen and wasn't bothered by what she said.
His large palm moved across her waist as he smilingly said, "Why is it inappropriate? I am still unmarried."
Nicole raised her gaze at this point, meeting Colton's dark gaze. "President Gardner, I don't believe you're that
desperate to take advantage of any woman you see, huh?" she sarcastically asked, her teeth clenched and her face
contorted in a fake smile.
