Chapter 1474 How Are You Managing?
Wendy stepped out of the bathroom, her eyes immediately drawn to a recent message from Beryl. Seeing that he
had everything arranged, a wave of happiness washed over her.
She hadn't anticipated this man to be so efficient. It suddenly dawned on her why her brother consistently entrusted
Beryl with significant matters.
Humming a cheerful tune, Wendy decided to get ready. However, she only applied some lotion, opting not to dress
up excessively.
After all, she was going out with Beryl, a man who never required her to wear makeup. If her brother, Colton, found
out about their outing today, wouldn't it be a dead giveaway?
Noticing the time, Wendy swiftly changed her clothes and prepared to leave. As she opened the door, she was met
with Beryl's face.
"Why are you here?" Wendy was taken aback to see Beryl. She glanced around and saw no one else, prompting her

Beryl was momentarily taken aback, then he smiled and replied, "I was waiting for you to finish getting ready. I
thought you might need to change clothes if you were dressing up. It'd be awkward for me to watch you change, so
I waited outside. I didn't wait long, though."
Wendy nodded, grabbed her phone, and quickly left with Beryl. They were running late and needed to make haste.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Beryl asked with a hint of helplessness in his voice. However, if one listened closely,
one could detect a tone of indulgence.
"Yeah, I'm in a hurry. Come on, let's move it."
Wendy pulled Beryl along and successfully exited the hotel.
Inhaling the fresh air outside, she felt as elated as if she had already met Nicole, and a smile spread across her
face.
"Alright, let's part ways here!" Wendy turned around and said to Beryl.
Seeing this, Beryl nodded in agreement. He hadn't expected this prima donna to be so enchanted by Nicole.
As soon as Beryl agreed to it, Wendy didn't hesitate to leave him. She glanced at the navigation on her phone.
Fortunately, the restaurant she had chosen was close by.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, she spotted Nicole seated in a corner. She quickly approached her and said
cheerfully, "I'm here, Mrs. Gardner."
Nicole smiled at Wendy's arrival. Noticing the sweat on her face, she said, "Did you run all the way here? You're
sweating. There's no need to rush next time."
She had made an early start due to her pregnancy and didn't want Wendy to wait for long. However, she hadn't
anticipated how early she'd get there. When she arrived at the restaurant, it was still ten minutes before their
agreed time.
"No worries. Of course, I'd run to see you!" Wendy waved her hand dismissively, summoned a waiter, and handed
the menu to Nicole without a word. "You go first, Mrs. Gardner."
Nicole accepted the menu and thought about what Wendy might enjoy eating, placing an order at once.
Wendy, who was seated across from her, propped her head up and watched Nicole order. The more she observed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole, the more admiration she had for the woman.
Despite Nicole's fuller figure due to her pregnancy, she was still a beauty. On the contrary, she appeared even
more endearing.
"Mrs. Gardner, I heard that being pregnant can be quite uncomfortable. How are you managing?"
Wendy seemed to suddenly remember something. Looking at Nicole's round belly, she expressed concern. She had
no idea what being pregnant felt like.
In fact, she didn't even know what being in love felt like.
"It's okay. I'd been experiencing morning sickness a while ago, and it felt quite uncomfortable. The past few days
have been better."
Nicole continued to lower her head, oblivious to Wendy's concern. Soon, she handed the menu back to Wendy.
"Your turn."
Wendy nodded sympathetically and accepted the menu, but she didn't start ordering immediately. Instead, she
said, "Mrs. Gardner, if you're feeling uncomfortable, you can tell me. Although I can't help you much, just know that
I'll always be here for you."
