Chapter 1464 Drama Emerges

Despite being in the same restaurant, Nicole was oblivious to the presence of Colton, Wendy, and Beryl due to the considerable distance between them.

"Nicole!"

Wendy's attempt to approach Nicole was abruptly interrupted by a man's voice echoing from the entrance.

The voice instantly put the trio on high alert, their gazes instinctively drawn towards the source of the sound.

Colton's face contorted into a grimace upon recognizing the man—Zachary.

"Wow, you're quick," commented Nicole in surprise when she turned to find Zachary approaching her.

She had anticipated a bit more time before his appearance. However, his early arrival was a welcome change, allowing her to proceed with her plans.

"I didn't want to keep you waiting. Don't stand here; it's not good for you." Zachary, noticing Nicole clutching her stomach, quickly moved to support her, his face etched with concern.


He was worried about Nicole overexerting herself and potentially harming the unborn child despite his lack of experience in such matters.

"It's okay. I'm not that fragile," Nicole responded with a resigned smile, subtly sidestepping Zachary's supportive hand.

She positioned herself next to Chloe, leaning on her for support.

Zachary, observing Nicole's evasion, didn't feel slighted. Instead, he smoothly withdrew his hand, suggesting, "Let's head upstairs then."

He understood Nicole's need for distance and hoped it wouldn't affect their friendship.

Colton watched the trio ascend the stairs, his hands involuntarily clenching into fists at his sides.

Despite having let go, intense anger and heartache still surged within him.

"It seems Nicole has plans today. Let's head upstairs, Colton."

Wendy, privy to Nicole's secrets, didn't overthink the situation. She noticed Zachary's attempt to support Nicole and Nicole's subsequent evasion, which was enough to clarify their relationship.

"Colton?"

Receiving no response, Wendy turned to Beryl, then to Colton, unable to suppress her curiosity upon seeing his grim expression. "Are you jealous?"

Beryl stifled a chuckle, anticipating the drama that was about to unfold. He had predicted this spectacle the moment he spotted Nicole. However, the extent of the spectacle hinged on Colton's reaction.
