Chapter 5 Delivering the Wallet

Upon returning from the airport, Colton found that his wallet was gone. It has to be the kid at the airport. He’s the only person I’ve come into contact with, he thought.

Nicole was instantly irritated by the man’s egotistical remarks. Struggling to suppress her anger, she explained, “You dropped your wallet yourself, and I’m kind-hearted enough to call you to return it to you.”

“Have it delivered to the Central Pavilion Hotel, or else you’ll suffer the consequences,” Colton said in a cold voice before hanging up right away. He didn’t want to say anything more than necessary to such a woman, but there were several cards in his wallet that were quite important, and it would be a hassle to have them reissued.

Nicole nearly went berserk when she heard the disconnect tone on the phone. What a f*cking screwball! How could he order me around like he’s entitled to do so?! She clenched the wallet in her hand, wishing she could just throw it into the toilet and flush it down. Nevertheless, she forcibly fought back her desire to do so, not wanting to invite unnecessary trouble since she had just returned from abroad. Putting the ID card in Hayden’s hand back into the wallet, she asked worriedly, “Did you touch anything else in the wallet?”

Hayden looked totally innocent and harmless with his black, round eyes. “Nope. All I did was take a look at his ID card.”

Nicole shoved the wallet into her handbag with a nod before taking out her cell phone to order a takeout for Hayden. Staring at her son, she said in all seriousness, “Thanks to you, Hayden, I’ve got to leave home in a while and won’t be back until about three hours later. Can you manage on your own?” The journey back and forth from here to Central Pavilion Hotel would take two hours. Considering the time she would be spending at the hotel, it would take about three hours before she got back.

“Yes, I can.” Hayden nodded with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Nicole instructed, “Well then, Hayden, just go to your room to sleep if you want to after finishing your dinner. I’ve tidied your room.” What a bad year for me, getting into so much trouble as soon as I came back.
