Chapter 982 As Gentle as Ever
Nicole's expression was annoyed. This man is becoming more and more shameless with time.
Seeing her annoyed expression, Colton restrained his expression and murmured softly, "Alright, I'll stop annoying
you now. Let's go home since you're not feeling well right now."
She didn't say anything and simply nodded in agreement. Then, she left with him.
When they arrived home, Nicole began to feel very sleepy. She was particularly prone to sleepiness due to her
current condition. It was just that her stomach was completely empty after throwing up the entire contents of her
stomach earlier, which left her unable to fall asleep.
Colton watched her tossing and turning on the bed, then he let out a soft chuckle. Taking advantage of the situation,
he sat at the head of the bed and lowered his eyes to look at her. "Would you like something to eat? I'll make it for
you."
She was initially going to refuse him, but her stomach was one step faster than her. The loud grumbling of her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstomach abruptly filled the quiet atmosphere.
Her face instantly flushed bright red in embarrassment. After pondering for a while, she finally replied to his
question. "I want to eat sauerkraut fish and tangy pork ribs."
"Okay. I'll ask somebody to deliver the ingredients, then I'll make those dishes for you." He looked at the adorable
woman lying on the bed, feeling as though his heart was about to melt.
She blinked. Although she had eaten many dishes that he made in the past, the dishes she requested today were
more complicated than usual. She had never seen him making these dishes before. Does he even know how to
make these dishes?
In the end, she decided not to torture her poor stomach and slowly said, "Why don't you just ask for the meal to be
delivered?"
He glanced at the shining eyes of the woman lying on the bed, then he recalled the scene he witnessed earlier. How
could he not realize what she was secretly thinking? Chuckling softly, he touched the tip of her nose with his slender
fingers and teased her with a smile. "What a heartless woman you are. You've eaten so many meals that I've
prepared for you. How can you have so little trust in my cooking skills?"
She shrank back slightly as though her inner thoughts had been seen through. At the same time, the tips of her ear
instantly reddened in embarrassment. Turning her head to the side, she muttered softly, "That's not it. I just didn't
want to make things difficult for you."
Deciding not to reveal her white lie, he stood up and told her, "It's fine. Besides, it's not safe to eat out right now.
Who knows what other ingredients they're adding to the food? Don't worry. I lived alone a long time ago, so my
cooking skills are pretty good."
She did not say anything else.
He did not linger for long either. Instead, he called housekeeping and asked them to deliver the ingredients.
To be honest, he often cooked for himself in the past. It was just that he had gotten busier and busier at the
company as time passed, so he rarely cooked nowadays.
It was not until she moved in with him that he began cooking again.
Nicole lay on the bed and scrolled through social media pages. All of a sudden, her phone vibrated slightly. She
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmglanced at the top of the screen and saw that it was a message from Zachary.
When they parted ways abroad last time, Zachary had said that he should not force himself on her. Hence, they
had not been in contact with each other since then.
She pursed her lips in thought. In the end, she tapped on the screen to open the message.
Zachary said, 'Nicole, I heard Hayden was hospitalized.'
It was an extremely cordial statement.
She mulled over the message for some time. Then, she tapped on the keyboard of her phone to compose a
response. 'Yes. He was poisoned. It's under investigation now.'
After she sent out the message, there was no response from her phone for a long time. She clutched at her phone,
thinking that he was busy with work when she received a phone call without warning.
She was startled by the sudden phone call, but she answered the call anyway.
A voice she had not heard in a long time entered her ears, sounding as gentle as ever.
"Nicole... What happened to Hayden? Why was he poisoned when he was doing so well previously?"
She bit her lower lip in uncertainty. In her eyes, Zachary was an existence akin to family. For some reason, listening
to such a familiar and gentle voice made her nose itch slightly. Her eyes also reddened as though she was about to
burst into tears.
