Chapter 1306 Leaving the Country

The three women lay quietly in bed. They didn't laugh and joke around like they thought they would, nor did they drown in the sorrow of separation either. All was silent.

They were all staring at the white ceiling above them.

Roxanna always expressed her fondness for the way Nicole's room had been designed, but she never had the chance to experience the room for herself. At last, she got to do it today.

"Nicole, Chloe."

Roxanna spoke up abruptly, but she fell silent again after saying their names.

Nicole and Chloe didn't turn toward her. They kept staring at the ceiling, though their eyes flickered with emotion.

"This bed is so comfortable!"

Roxanna suddenly cried out as she reached out to place her hands on both their waists.

Nicole and Chloe smiled and patted her hand. Neither one of them spoke.

"Okay, then. Let's go to sleep! I'm so sleepy. I was so nervous during the negotiations today. Thank goodness everything went well."

Roxanna withdrew her hands and straightened her body. Her chest began heaving.


Nicole and Chloe turned away in total unison. They had their backs toward Roxanna, who was in the center between them.

When Roxanna noticed this, her tears began to pour out of her. She had tried her best to rein them in, but it didn't work.

I'm so weak.

Though her sobbing was very quiet, the stillness of the room made it extremely noticeable.

Nicole and Chloe squeezed their eyes shut and pretended to be asleep, but tears were trickling out the sides of their eyes too.

They were all too reluctant to part with each other.



After a busy day, Colton got ready to head back to the home he had stayed away for a very long time now.

He didn't know if Evelyn had come to her senses or had given up, but either way, she no longer came looking for him.

Colton was glad about that. He thought it was good that Evelyn was wise enough to stop.

He slowly opened the door, only to realize that the lights in the living room were on. There was an unfamiliar pair of men's shoes by the door.

A guest?

Colton raised his eyebrows.

Even if Evelyn was fooling around with another man, she wouldn't have brought him back here, though he would be more than happy if she did.

"You're back." Isaac, who was sitting on the couch, stood up when he heard the door closed and was greeted by the sight of a startled Colton.

He smirked as if he had predicted Colton's reaction.

"Isaac," Colton greeted with a chuckle. He walked into the living room and the two men sat down across from each other.

"Are you finally willing to come back and focus your attention here?" Colton's lips curved into a seemingly teasing smile.
