Chapter 1308 Leaving
"Forget it. We'll do it next time," Isaac said helplessly.
Since it was obvious what Colton's answer would be, Isaac took his jacket and left without another word.
"Next time, alright?" Colton agreed seemingly apologetically.
Isaac chuckled and said nothing as he walked out of the door.
After all their years of friendship, Isaac knew full well what Colton was up to.
He must have some cunning trick up his sleeve right now. I'll get the details some other time.
Colton saw Isaac off. The former then stood at the door with no intention of heading back into the house.
Evelyn was thrilled. It seemed as if Colton had rejected Isaac's invitation for her sake. Could it be that Colton's
starting to like me?
"Let's go back in, Colton. Cal is—"
Evelyn's joy barely lasted ten seconds before Colton extinguished it with a curt response.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You can stay with the child. I'm tired. I want to rest early tonight."
He could force himself to pretend that the child was his. After all, the child was innocent.
However, he couldn't pretend to be in love with Evelyn.
He had betrayed Nicole once. He wasn't going to do it again.
Colton didn't even bother to look at Evelyn before he left. He didn't give her any chance to stop him.
Evelyn was thoroughly displeased as she stared at his retreating back. She couldn't understand his actions.
Why would he have rejected Isaac's invitation if he doesn't like me or the child? But, if he likes me, why would he
reject me?
Evelyn couldn't resign herself to this. She quickly ran up to Colton and hugged him from behind as she tried to
seduce him. "My body's all better now, Colton. I think it's time I perform my duties as your wife."
She made her voice as alluring as possible. She was certain no man could reject her when she spoke this way.
Colton won't be able to resist me either. As long as Colton's attitude toward me changes, I can still get the last
laugh.
"Let's do it, Colton. I don't want to just be your wife in name. I want to have another child with you."
Colton stiffened and he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes. He took a deep breath and yanked Evelyn's hands off
him in repulsion.
"I'm exhausted. Maybe next time."
He had no choice but to say that. He didn't want to arouse any suspicion.
Colton left without looking at Evelyn.
The woman stared after him in a daze. She didn't know what to do.
…
At the international airport, Roxanna was staring at Nicole and Chloe with a look of extreme reluctance.
She didn't think the night would pass so quickly.
A rare bout of insomnia hit her last night. She thought the night would last as long as it did the last time.
Alas, it flew by in a flash. Nicole and Chloe were going to leave before she could even hold them close one last time.
"We'll try to finish up everything we need to do abroad as soon as possible so that we can come back to you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole wasn't as sad as she thought she would be. Instead, she flashed Roxanna a reassuring smile.
"Yes, of course."
Roxanna responded heartily. She had full confidence in Nicole's and Chloe's abilities.
Chloe, too, nodded. She stared at Roxanna without saying anything.
She wasn't good with her words, so it was best if she stayed silent.
It was nearly time. None of the three women cried.
Roxanna stood and watched in silence as the two women disappeared from her sight.
Tears pooled in her eyes but for some reason, they didn't fall.
Roxanna figured it was because Nicole told her not to be sad just before she left.
Nicole and Chloe boarded the plane safely and smiled at each other. They didn't know what the outcome of this trip
would be.
On the other end, Albert had left on a flight yesterday as he had urgent matters to attend to.
