Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 197 Leave

As Nicole didn’t bring much with her, her belongings didn’t even fill up a suitcase.

Baffled by the sudden move, Hayden looked questioningly over at his mother before shifting his gaze to Colton, asking, “Mom, Mr. Handsome, why are we leaving? I like it here.”
