Chapter 863
Colton responded with a cheeky smile as he loosened his grip on Nicole's waist. Looking at her, he purred leisurely,
"Well, I'm not that desperate. I just want to be close to you."
Nicole was left speechless. He is indeed the only person who can say such shameless things!
She felt discouraged as she closed her eyes and said, "We can't discuss things in such positions, President Gardner.
Could you please stand up?"
As he looked at her helpless face, Colton finally let Nicole go, perhaps out of the goodness of his heart.
She quickly moved to the side, looking terrified.
Due to what had just transpired, Colton's pajamas had opened up. His fair skin peeked from beneath his dark blue
pajamas and with the waistband loosened, a large portion of his well-built muscles was revealed.
Fortunately, he had worn a boxer under his pajamas, so it revealed nothing else.

looked at Nicole. After a while of staring at her, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Just get right to the point.
Why are you looking for me?"
Nicole took her time smoothing out the creases on her clothes before responding with her gaze lowered, "News
concerning Hayden has begun to spread on the Internet. I'm hoping you can keep the news from escalating."
"No problem," Colton readily agreed with a nod.
Nicole was a little taken aback by this. She hadn't expected him to agree so quickly and she couldn't react for a
moment.
Looking at a shocked Nicole, Colton explained with a smile, "Hayden is my son and I will do my part as his father.
There has previously been news about him on the Internet which I managed to keep under control at the time.
Now, however, I'm afraid it won't be so easy because it appears that someone is behind it."
Nicole's gaze dropped even lower when she heard that. All she wanted was for her life not to be disrupted.
As long as Hayden and she stayed out of any trouble, it didn't matter to her whom Colton wanted to be with.
"Thank you, President Gardner. I guarantee that Hayden and I will not appear in front of Miss Wrenn and you once
you're married," Nicole promised.
She was about to leave right after her words, but Colton grabbed her wrist.
That made her uneasy. "President Gardner, what else do you want?"
Colton, however, had narrowed his eyes and there was a tinge of danger in his gaze as he asked coldly, "What do
you mean?"
Nicole looked at him strangely. "It means precisely what I just said. Since you are married, Hayden and I won't
disrupt your life," she said candidly.
Colton's grip on her wrist tightened when he heard this. "Do you think I'll marry Evelyn?" he asked, his voice cold as
he fixed his gaze on her.
At this moment, Nicole felt as if she didn't understand Colton at all. She shook her hand, struggling to break free

"Everyone knows you're going to marry Evelyn, President Gardner."
"I won't marry her," Colton replied solemnly.
That made Nicole's eyelid twitch a little. For reasons unknown to her, her heart began to race when she heard what
the man had said. "It is none of my business whom you marry, President Gardner. Just make sure that Hayden is
not implicated," she responded in a cold and aloof tone.
Seeing that she was unconcerned at all, Colton's expression turned thunderous. His eyes seemed to be filled with
rage as he lowered his voice and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you really not love me at all?"
To that, Nicole simply pursed her lips and answered straightforwardly, "President Gardner, why would I love you?"
Colton felt helpless in the face of her question, and his dark pupils seemed to devour her in seconds.
But Nicole did not back down. With an unyielding attitude, she slowly wriggled her hand out of his grip as she said,
"President Gardner, since you are getting married, please know where to draw the line. Don't go flirting around as
you please!"
