Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 22 Andersons’ Interrogation

Before she could walk away, she was stopped by Colton’s grab, to which she, halting her steps, turned to look at him as she tried to shake him off. With a frown, she asked, “What are you doing?”

Colton swept his gaze across the woman’s figure. At that moment, the once-delicate makeup of the woman before him was smeared by her tears as tiny red veins surged in her eyes.

Unlike the graceful Lisa she was one hour ago, she now resembled a pitiful stray puppy. As he withdrew the odd look in his eyes, with his raspy voice, he uttered, “Go get changed. I’ll send you there.”

Nicole lowered her head and took a look at herself, only to find that she, indeed, seemed pathetic. She then nodded and went back into her house. Followingly, she changed into a rather casual outfit, but she didn’t have time to remove her makeup. As she exited her room, she gathered her messy hair and tied it behind her head with a black rubber band. Regardless, her appearance wasn’t anywhere atrocious. Having changed into casual wear from her gown, she appeared notably younger.

“Let’s go. To Anderson Residence.” She dragged Colton, who she, in that instant, perceived as her life savior, as if she was comforted by the man’s existence.
