Chapter 183 Gardner Residence
Lydia was enraged as she watched Nicole leave. Her palms were tightly clenched, her face solemn, and she looked like she was on the verge of bursting her vessels.
Nicole was right; Lydia was indeed here to learn more about the results of the recording. However, she did not expect that Colton had allowed Nicole to stay in his house and even brought her along with him to the Gardner Residence!
Queenie and Colton had been together for the past five years, but her visits to Gardner Residence were so infrequent that her fingers were enough to count her visits, let alone following Colton back for dinner. That had never happened to Queenie before.
Why can Nicole do so?
The Anderson Family now relied on the relationship between Queenie and Colton for their living. If Colton decides to end that relationship, Lydia couldn’t imagine what would happen to the Anderson Family…
As Lydia thought of these, her face became paler.
No. Absolutely no! Lydia thought. She would never allow the slut, Nicole, to destroy the Anderson Family!
…
Meanwhile, Nicole got into her car immediately after leaving the restaurant. She then lay on the seat with her eyes closed and an indifferent smile on her face.
The only thing that could get Lydia to call her and talk to her nicely was the recording. Lydia was probably afraid that the recording had been edited from the video and she was trying to find out more.
Well, she had already warned Lydia. If the mother-daughter duo continued to annoy Nicole, they shouldn’t blame her for what she would do.
Nicole stepped on the accelerator and headed to her intended destination after calming herself down.
The first place she went was Colton’s house. When she arrived, Whitney immediately went up to Nicole as she knew that Nicole had confronted Lydia earlier.
“How was it, Nicole? Have you dealt with her?
Nicole couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Whitney looking at her with interest. “Have you ever seen me being taken advantage of?” Nicole asked, while tapping Whitney’s head.
Hearing Nicole’s reply, Whitney laughed too. Then, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh right, Nicole, are you really going over tonight?”
Nicole nodded and helplessly answered, “I have to. I can’t possibly abandon that rascal.”
Colton entered the room from outside as soon as she finished her words. After a brief glance at Nicole, he appeared to be surprised.
He thought she looked a little different today. She looked mature and elegant in a fitting dark blue dress, a neatly tied bun, and a pair of high heels.
“Are you done tidying up?” he asked nonchalantly.
She retracted her gaze and nodded. “It’s almost time. Shall we go now?”
Colton nodded in response to her question, after which he cast a glance at Whitney.
Whitney immediately sensed what he meant. “Nicole and President Gardner, you both better get going. I’ve a date later, so I won’t be joining.”
She ended her sentence with what appeared to be an awkward laughter.
Looking at Whitney’s mindless manner, Nicole didn’t feel like entertaining her any longer, and thus, she left the house right away.
She took Colton’s car, and after a short drive, they arrived at Gardner Residence.
Seeing that the door was wide opened, Colton parked his car directly at the front door.
Upon entering the house, Nicole heard voices of laughter and joking. As she approached nearer, the voices became clearer, and she realized that they belonged to Anna and Wendy.
At the same time, Nicole saw that Hayden was sitting in Benjamin’s arms. Though Benjamin appeared to be stern, his face revealed how much he pampered Hayden.
Furthermore, Hayden was also a sweet-talker who pleased everyone he met wherever he went. When Nicole walked in, he was complimenting Anna with his sweet voice.
“Grandma, you look so young. I’ll always see other people’s grandmothers as old, but you look as young as my mom.”
When she heard what he said, Anna was so happy that she couldn’t stop laughing.
Nicole, on the other hand, was speechless. This child really knows how to sweet-talk, she thought.
Benjamin was the first to notice both Colton and Nicole. With his arms wrapped around Hayden’s waist, he fixed his gaze on both of them and said, “You’re back.”
Colton nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Hayden,” Nicole called out to her son in Benjamin’s arms.
It had only been a few hours since she had left him here, but this child seemed to be close to the entire family now.
Hearing her voice, Hayden turned around and smiled happily upon seeing Nicole. “Mom!”
