Chapter 522 A Kiss
Then, Pierre curled up his lips. Don’t blame me on this, Norman. Instead, blame Nicole for being so lucky. If that’s the case, I will have to kill you to save myself!
…
As ‘Colton’s’ wedding was approaching, Anna was getting better. Although she was still wearing a cast on her leg, she was in good shape by the care of the servants. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Nicole bid her goodbye to Anna and prepared to take Hayden back home.
When Colton knew about this, he didn’t stop her but insisted on taking her back home. “I’ll send you back home. Otherwise, I will miss you.” He had always been cheeky with the way he spoke.
As Nicole heard his flirtatious words, she didn’t say anything and nodded. When they finished dinner at the Gardner Residence and were ready to head home, it was already nighttime. It was a moonless night, as if God had draped a blanket over the world. It was rare that it wasn’t raining at night, as it had been raining these days. Still, it was cold outside.
Nicole thought that Colton was going to drive them home, but when she carried Hayden into the car, Colton found a driver and sat in the back with them. Then, it was as if Hayden had read his mind when he sat next to the driver’s seat, leaving the two adults at the back.
As the driver drove the car, they arrived at Nicole’s place in 20 minutes since it was not far from the Gardner Residence.
When they arrived, Hayden carried his things and said, “Mommy, I’ll go and put my things. Why don’t you talk to Daddy?” With that being said, he darted into the house while the driver knew better and drove off.
There weren’t many people in the high-end residential area at night. The road lights were dim, and there was a hazy sensation as they looked into each other’s eyes. Colton lowered his head and looked at Nicole’s pretty face.
Both of them felt awkward while being in this semi-dark environment. Lastly, Nicole broke the awkwardness between them. She raised her head and looked at him, saying, “Thank you back there about the research center, President Colton.”
Hearing the sincerity in her voice, Colton smirked and leaned down. “Don’t you think a thank you isn’t enough, Nicky? Maybe… you could try to be more sincere?” His voice was deep and husky.
At that moment, Nicole’s breath hitched as Colton was talking beside her ears. Since her ears were sensitive, they turned red when Colton’s hot breath brushed against them.
“What are you trying to do?” Nicole looked directly at him to see her own reflection in his eyes.
Smiling, Colton raised her chin and slowly closed in on her. “I wonder what your lips taste like.”
When he teased her, Nicole felt that he was shameless. If you want to kiss me, just do it! There’s no need to say such cheesy words! she thought.
“Was that a question or a statement?”
“Statement,” said Colton. With that being said, he cupped the back of her head and kissed her deeply.
Nicole widened her eyes as her words were muffled. This darn man!
After giving her a little peck, Colton released her while poking her nose affectionately. “Close your eyes now. It feels even better.” Then, he kissed her again. Rather than the soft kiss he gave her, it was possessive and intimidating this time, rendering her out of breath.
As Nicole was getting out of breath from the kiss, she closed her eyes obediently.
Little did they know that just by the tree not far away, a man was watching on with fury in his eyes.
