Chapter 1351 A Chance Meeting

"Mr. Hofstead," said Nicole, greeting him with a smile out of courtesy.

Chloe's gaze upon the man changed; even her attitude toward him cooled noticeably. She merely nodded to him as

a form of greeting.

Kendrick didn't notice the change in her attitude, though. His gaze was fixed on Nicole; he was smiling at her with

such tenderness in his eyes as though it could spill over at any moment.

Taken aback, Nicole instinctively took a step back. The look in his eyes just now was different from usual—no, it

could be described as peculiar.

Seeing her response, Kendrick realized that he had stepped out of line and was perhaps too hasty. Immediately, he

turned his gaze away and said with a faint smile, "I'm here just to remind you both to hurry up so that we can grab

something to eat quickly. I'm sure the researchers must be rather hungry by now." As soon as he finished his

sentence, he turned around and left, his attitude totally different from when he first showed up.

Nicole frowned before tugging at Chloe's sleeve. She asked in a whisper, "Did you feel that there's something off

about him?"

Chloe was pleased that Nicole finally realized something wasn't right about Kendrick's behavior.

The next moment, however, Nicole shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to continue dwelling on it.

"Never mind, what matters most right now is the collaboration. I'll just keep my distance from him in the future,"

she hastily concluded before dragging Chloe to catch up with the group.

"Never mind, whot motters most right now is the colloborotion. I'll just keep my distonce from him in the future,"

she hostily concluded before drogging Chloe to cotch up with the group.

Chloe had just opened her mouth, and the words were yet to come out when she was dragged away. So, should I

say it or not?

As soon as they entered the clubhouse, they heard a familiar voice say, "Nicole! Chloe!"

Nicole was delighted upon hearing the voice. However, just when she was about to turn back and greet Wendy, she

suddenly recalled what Wendy had told her last time. 'Colton said that if I want to go anywhere, I must go with him.'

Don't tell me that Colton is also here?

Before she could come to her senses, Wendy took her hand, looking pleasantly surprised. She never expected to

run into Nicole here. What a stroke of good luck!

Kendrick, who was walking ahead of them, had remarkably keen ears. Naturally, he heard what Wendy said, and it

set alarm bells ringing in his head, prompting him to turn around and look.

"Nicole, I didn't expect to see you here! I tell you what, Colton—" Wendy began, only to clam up mid-sentence and

silently release her grip on Nicole. She subconsciously looked back, praying inwardly that Colton hadn't entered.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

The moment Wendy took Nicole's hand, Colton saw it all. Not only that, but he also noticed Kendrick standing not

far from Nicole. Having seen his picture, he instantly recognized the man. What annoyed him was that he had

entered just in time to see the man looking at Nicole in a way that disturbed him. Call this a man's intuition.

All Wendy saw was that his face darkened in an instant. Even the atmosphere around them seemed to turn heavy.

She didn't know why, but she assumed it was because of her association with Nicole. "Colton," she said cautiously.

Colton didn't let her get along with Nicole from the start, so she was afraid that he might go as far as to delete

Nicole's contact information from her phone.

On the other hand, Nicole's gaze had been fixed on Colton ever since he came in. He seems to have lost quite a bit

of weight since we last met a long time ago. What should I say? I guess I can't even say "long time no see"

anymore.

Just then, there was someone nearby who was rushing in a hurry. Just when the person nearly bumped into Nicole,

Chloe swiftly positioned herself next to her and extended her hand to protect her belly.

Realizing that Nicole was pregnant, the person apologized in embarrassment, "Sorry, my bad. I didn't notice that

you're pregnant."

Chloe wanted to say something, but Nicole tugged at her. Picking up the hint, she said nothing and stood quietly

beside Nicole. Nicole's been so immersed in her work these days that people are perhaps starting to forget that

she's pregnant.

Hearing the person's words, Colton knitted his brows as if recalling something unpleasant. Pregnant?

Kendrick stared straight at Nicole's belly with eyes wide open. Is she pregnant?
