Chapter 858

Colton's cold, emotionless words sent goosebumps all over Tony.

In response, Tony quickly shook his head and let out a hollow laugh. "No, no! Ah! That's right, I need to attend to something. I'm off!" As soon as he finished talking, he scampered away.

As he watched Tony's figure recede into the distance, Colton leaned back in his chair with an unfocused expression, and his gaze then shifted to the computer screen. Later, he averted his gaze and focused on tidying up his files on the table.



When Nicole woke up, she felt a delicate body resting in the crook of her arm. Then, she opened her eyes groggily to discover her son had snuggled up beside her. She was unaware that Hayden had entered the room.


The child had already awoken, and he opened his eyes while his mother pondered when he crept into the bed. Then, he whined like a pampered, lovable child, "Mom!"

"Mm… When did you get in here?" Nicole inquired with a slightly hoarse voice. Afterward, she extended her arm, embraced the child, and gave him two gentle pats.

At that moment, Hayden yawned as he squirmed inadvertently into her embrace. Then, in a slightly upset tone, he complained, "It was thundering in the middle of the night. You were sleeping so soundly that you did not move or even notice that I had entered the room."

When she heard that, she carried him out of bed and drew back the curtains in the room. Even though the sun was shining, she could see puddles of rainwater in some hidden places on the ground and confirmed that it did rain that night.

Then, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes. I attended a dinner party at the Gould Residence yesterday and returned home late. After taking off my makeup and cleaning up, I notice that it is almost midnight. So, I go to bed, and I'm out as soon as my head hits the pillow. No wonder I didn't hear the thunder.

Nicole hugged Hayden and apologetically asked, "Oh, I'm sorry, and it's my fault. However, when were you afraid of thunder?" Nevertheless, she recalled her son had always been fearless, and she had no idea when he became afraid of thunder.

"I'm not afraid of thunder, but it was so noisy outside! I couldn't sleep, but I eventually did after I snuggled up next to you, Mom!" He buried his head in Nicole's arms and pouted.
