Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1311 Forget It

Roxanna didn't stop the two men from leaving. The truth was, she wanted nothing more than for them to leave as soon as humanly possible.

Isaac and Colton kept walking for quite some time before they, seemingly of one mind, came to a stop and turned around to look at the massive building that was now merely a tiny dot in the distance.

"What are you going to do now? Are you going to go after her?"

Isaac's expression was grim. While making their way over to the medical base, Colton had filled him in on everything that happened.

Colton was using Evelyn. His investigations had led him to Ryan, and he wanted to use this chance to lure out the person behind Ryan.

As for what Nicole had misunderstood, the child wasn't Colton's.

Isaac snorted. He had underestimated Colton.

"No. Since she wants to further her career, I won't stop her." Colton shook his head.

Just then, a plane flew over them.

Colton heard the sound and looked up. He stared at the plane as if it were the one Nicole was on—as if it held all that he longed for.

He knew that it wasn't the plane she was on.

He knew that this was just a delusion of his.

"I wanted to ask Roxanna about Nicole and Zachary, but it was obvious that she didn't want us to pry into Nicole's situation."

Isaac smirked as he suddenly recalled how nervous Roxanna had been when she met him yesterday.

Is this what it's like when a person takes steps toward independence? How interesting.

Naturally, Isaac had a guess as to the reason behind Roxanna's transformation.

According to the information he had, Nicole had left with another one of her able subordinates. This meant that Roxanna was the only one in charge of managing the local medical base.

When her friends were around, she only had to focus on handling the daily operations of the medical base.

Alas, things were different now. The weight of the entire medical base's affairs rested on her slender shoulders.

"I knew that would be the case from the moment she saw me. They have been reacting this way toward me ever since Nicole and I got a divorce."

They keep their guard up at all times, Colton thought to himself.

"Forget it. The most important thing for me to do right now is to find out the person behind all of this. Once I do that, I'll tell Nicole everything."

Surprisingly, Colton exhaled in relief.

"What about Zachary? If you wait that long, Zachary and Nicole might have had a child of their own by then."

Isaac didn't know that Nicole was pregnant.

Nicole and Roxanna were supposed to meet Isaac together, but Roxanna gave the excuse that Nicole was too busy.

As a result of that, Isaac wasn't unaware of the pregnancy.

"Don't worry. Nicole won't do that."

Colton trusted that Nicole wouldn't do such a thing. He had only believed her words that day because he had been blinded by his anger and agitation.

After thinking things through the last two days, he understood that Nicole wouldn't have given up on him so easily if she hadn't encountered a sticky situation herself.

She was only abandoning him because she didn't want to drag him down with her.

Colton had complete faith in Nicole.
