Chapter 886
Nicole's lips curved into a faint smile. She replied, "I heard them, but never mind. It's beneath our dignity to go over
and quarrel with them."
Hayden nodded seriously and replied, "That's because you have a big heart, Mom."
Nicole let out a soft chuckle without saying anything else.
The elevator slowly went up to the top floor before stopping.
Although those in the President's office were very familiar with Nicole, they were shocked to see her bringing a boy
with her who looked pretty much like Colton. Luckily, these people had gone through all kinds of big deals, so their
surprise only lasted for a moment. After that, they regained their composure without gossiping about Nicole in front
of her.
Seeing Nicole and Hayden, Tony hurriedly came up to them with a smile. He said to them respectfully with an
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinexplicable hint of flattery, "Greetings, Miss Anderson. President Gardner is waiting for you two in his office, so
please head there."
Nicole nodded. As soon as she took a step forward, she heard the man beside her ask attentively, "Miss Anderson,
what would you and little Mr. Gardner like to drink? Let me get it for you."
"I'd like to drink Coke," Hayden answered without reservation.
"Yes, little Mr. Gardner," Tony immediately replied before leaving to get them their drinks.
Seeing how attentive he was to Nicole, everyone was inevitably surprised. After all, with his real identity as one of
the Gardner Corporation's shareholders, he didn't have to be so obsequious toward a woman. One of the onlookers
couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Larson, why are you so nice to her? She's no longer a designer at the Gardner
Corporation now."
Instead of making his reasons clear, Tony only answered meaningfully, "Things will be different very soon." Then,
seeing that everyone couldn't make head or tail of what he meant, he added cheerfully, "Just bear in mind not to
offend Miss Nicole." With that, he went to the President's office with his stuff.
When Nicole opened the door, she realized there was someone else in Colton's office. Furthermore, she knew the
person, who was none other than Gabriel.
She looked at the man curiously while taking Hayden by the hand. Doesn't Colton want to play with Hayden today?
Why would he have another guy with him?
On the other hand, Hayden wasn't shy with the stranger at all. He ran up to Colton before snuggling in the man's
arms, saying, "Dad!"
Colton took the opportunity to put the boy on his lap. Stroking Hayden's head, he asked with a smile, "What's
wrong? Have you been obedient to your mom lately?"
Pouting his lips slightly, Hayden replied with a snort, "How can you still think about my mom when you're about to
marry another woman?"
Only Hayden can say such a thing. Nicole looked up at Colton, only to realize the man wasn't angry at all. Instead,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe was still smiling with a gentle expression.
Having finished complaining, Hayden finally turned his gaze toward Gabriel, carefully eyeing the man up and down
with his clear, black eyes. After a long time, he finally asked, "Dad, who is this mister? Why does he look so much
like Mom?"
Enlightened by the boy's words, both Nicole and Colton couldn't help but shift their gaze toward Gabriel's face.
Gabriel turned to look at Nicole as well. Indeed, the two looked quite alike, though this hadn't crossed their minds
before due to their gender differences. Now that they took a closer look, they could tell the similarities between the
two's features.
Colton looked at Gabriel with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Gabriel withdrew his gaze from Nicole. Turning to look at Hayden, he said under his breath, "I'm a friend of your
dad."
Hayden asked in puzzlement, "Then, why do you look so much like my mom?"
For a moment, Gabriel was lost for words; he didn't know how to explain this.
Luckily, Colton was smart enough to bail him out. "That's just a coincidence. Many people in the world look alike,
after all. Alright, Hayden, where would you like to have fun today?"
