Chapter 453 Little Thoughts
Queenie felt very wronged right now as Colton held her wrist. She wanted to get closer to him, but he didn’t hesitate to release her the moment he noticed that she could stand without aid.
She did nothing but merely looked at him with her puppy eyes and bit her lips. “Colton, don’t blame Nicole for what just happened. I was the one being careless.”
Nicole was rendered speechless by Queenie’s shamelessness. Still, she had to admit that Queenie was skilled. Her abrupt change of attitude just now was probably because she saw Colton walking over.
She should not have wasted her talent studying design. Instead, she should have studied acting, and she could have possibly earned herself an Oscar by now.
Colton did not say anything but let Queenie go after he made sure she could stand upright. His brows furrowed together, and he said sternly, “You know you’re pregnant. So, you shouldn’t leave your room so easily. If anything happens, you’re the one who suffers.”
Queenie thought Colton was on her side, but he berated her instead. She did not expect that and nervously tried to explain, “Colton, I can’t be holed up in the room. It’s not good for the baby. I just wanted some fresh air. It was a coincidence–”
She wanted to explain more, but Colton interrupted her, “You’re pregnant. You should return to your room and rest.”
She wanted to use what happened to make him disappointed in Nicole. Unfortunately, he did not say anything but demanded her to rest.
Queenie gritted her teeth as she was unwilling to let this matter slide while she scrambled to think of a comeback, but Colton did not give her a chance. “If you don’t want to return to your room, I’ll send you back to the Anderson Residence.”
That sentence killed Queenie’s temper, and she blurted, “I’ll return to my room now.” Then, she turned around and left.
Nicole waited for Queenie to leave and asked Colton in amusement, “What? Aren’t you going to question me for pushing her?”
Colton smiled and raised an eyebrow at her sarcasm. “I’m not that naive. I can spot a deliberate plot when I see one.”
Nicole was satisfied with his answer and nodded. “Not bad. You’re not that hopelessly stupid.”
He did not reply to her harsh remark and cautioned, “You should avoid Queenie in the future. I don’t even know what she will try to do later.”
Nicole agreed with his words vehemently as she nodded. She did not want trouble coming her way too. “Then, you’d have to keep your eyes on her. If she has a miscarriage and blames it on me, I’m dead meat.”
Colton could not help but curve his lips as laughter filled his eyes as he heard her teasing. “Even if you were the one who caused the miscarriage, I won’t blame you.”
Nicole did not respond to his words as she didn’t hesitate to depart. Initially, she just wanted to visit Old Mr. Benedict; she did not expect to be involved in this.
Colton watched as she left, and interest glinted in his eyes. However, he retracted his gaze after she left and went upstairs.
Queenie was lying on the bed to rest when Colton arrived. She was delighted to see him enter and chirped, “Colton, you’re here!”
He did not react as warmly as he looked at her and said coldly, “Keep your little schemes to yourself.”
Her face turned pale at his words. What is he hinting at?
Tears immediately brimmed her eyes as she asked with a pitiful look, “Colton, what do you mean by that?”
He couldn’t help the disgust swelling in his heart as he saw her trying to guilt trip him. So, he didn’t hold back the sneer on his lips as he warned, “Stay away from Nicole in the future.”
