Chapter 1473 A Successful Escape
The following day at noon, Wendy finally roused from a deep slumber. She stretched languidly, feeling utterly
rejuvenated from her sleep.
She reached for her phone and began deciding where to dine that day. After all, she couldn't make a hasty decision
when it came to dining with Nicole.
As Wendy was browsing the web, she paid no heed to the several messages that Beryl had sent her.
Beryl was perched on the couch while dressed impeccably, his gaze fixed on Wendy's chat box. It was evident that
she had no intention of responding to his messages.
He clenched his phone tighter, feeling like a courtier more anxious than the king himself.
After sending the time and location to Nicole, Wendy noticed Beryl's messages. She simply forwarded the time and
place to Beryl, then set her phone aside and started getting ready.
Finally, Beryl received a response from Wendy. Glancing at the time and location, he had to concede that Wendy

As for the time...
Well, it wasn't too late. Colton would agree to it.
Beryl nodded, then exited his room and made his way toward Colton's room. He had a key card to the latter's
bedroom, so he didn't need Colton to let him in. He walked straight inside after using the key card.
Colton was probably awake by now.
Upon entering the bedroom, Beryl found Colton standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, seemingly deep in thought.
"Colton."
Seeing this, Beryl suppressed his concern and approached Colton, speaking in a gentle tone.
He was probably pondering about Nicole. Ever since their encounter with Nicole the previous day, Colton had been
acting differently.
Hearing Beryl's voice, Colton turned around and gave him a slight nod. "What's up?"
If Beryl came looking for him, it probably meant that something had happened.
"I plan on taking Wendy out tonight. You know, the night view here is spectacular. Wendy noticed you weren't in
high spirits yesterday, so she didn't bring it up."
Beryl knew that Colton assumed something had transpired on Kendrick's end, hence his query. However, it was
about Wendy this time.
Colton was slightly surprised but wasn't opposed to Beryl's plan. He simply nodded and remained silent.
Indeed, they were departing the next day. Wendy finally got the chance to travel abroad, but she hadn't truly
enjoyed herself. Beryl was also the one who took her out last time.
This time, given Colton's current state of mind, it was best to let Beryl accompany her.
Seeing this, Beryl refrained from saying anything further and exited Colton's room.
He had anticipated a smooth outcome. After all, Colton's mind was elsewhere, and it was easy to secure his
approval. It was due to Colton's insistence that Wendy hadn't been able to enjoy herself; hence, Colton felt a sense
of guilt.
Beryl retrieved his phone and texted Wendy, then retreated to his room.

Meanwhile, Nicole received Wendy's message. Instead of taking a long time to get ready, she opted to freshen up
quickly.
"Nicole, are you heading out today?" asked Chloe, realizing that Nicole had already changed her clothes.
Nicole would typically be in her pajamas if she had no plans. Given how difficult it was to change clothes at this
stage of her pregnancy, she was probably heading out.
"Yeah, Wendy invited me out for dinner. It's at five in the afternoon, so I've changed my clothes ahead of time."
Nicole looked at Chloe and nodded, smiling.
There was no need to keep this from Chloe, so Nicole was frank about it.
"Alright, take care." Chloe nodded and refrained from saying anything further.
She understood why Wendy had invited Nicole. Wendy was heading back the next day. It was only natural for her to
want to see Nicole one last time since she was so fond of Nicole.
"Let me know when you're about to wrap up, and I'll come pick you up," Chloe added.
She was allowed to go out, but safety was paramount.
"Alright, I'll let you know!" said Nicole with a smile as she exited the bathroom.
