Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1036 Hypocritical

"Collie." A soft and gentle voice suddenly sounded in Colton's ear.

Colton turned his head and saw Evelyn in a dress.

She was wearing a black dress today that revealed her cleavage while her face was adorned with bright makeup and it made her look quite beautiful.

However, he currently had no interest in any woman other than Nicole. When he heard Evelyn's voice, he ignored her and walked straight toward the food area.

Seeing that he didn't pay attention to her, she didn't say anything either. She quietly followed behind him while gazing at him with infatuation.

Since childhood, she'd always had her eyes on Colton. Ever since she saved him that time, she couldn't take her eyes away from him. She had been well-taken care of by the Wrenn Family since she was young and surrounded by countless men, but she didn't fancy any of them.

She only liked Colton.

With the close relationship between the Gardner Family and the Wrenn Family, she often had the opportunity to meet him. She thought that through their families, she could be with him openly, but all her dreams shattered the moment Nicole appeared. It felt like everything had been a dream.

Colton suddenly stopped, and Evelyn, who wasn't paying attention, bumped into his back.

She took two steps back while covering her nose and softly apologized, "I'm sorry, Collie. I didn't mean it."

Her words of apology came to an abrupt halt when she realized that he was looking at her with a cold look. His gaze was as cold as ice in the dead of winter and pierced through her.

As she looked at his eyes, even her voice began to stutter. She clutched her hand, showed a pitiful expression, and said, "Collie, I really didn't mean it."

Colton placed the food tray down and coldly ordered, "Follow me."

Evelyn's pitiful face instantly lit up with joy. After suppressing her inner excitement, she took a step forward and said, "Collie, you..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, he had already walked away, which forced her to quickly lift the hem of her dress and follow after him.

Colton arrived at a secluded place and leaned against the wall. His tall figure resembled a model that formed a unique curve with the wall.

Evelyn blushed and took a step forward while softly calling out, "Collie."

He looked at the girl running toward him, and his gaze carried a hint of coldness.

As Evelyn approached, she suddenly felt a chilling gaze. She instinctively looked up and saw his icy stare. That gaze made her feel icy cold all over even on a hot evening. She bit her lip, returned to her pitiful appearance, and whispered, "Collie, is there something you need?"

"Evelyn, Nicole is pregnant with my child," Colton said in a calm voice.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a fleeting look of astonishment crossed her face. Then, she pretended to be clueless and asked, "Ah? Didn't Nicole have a miscarriage? Could it be that she's pregnant again? Congratulations!"

Looking at her innocent facade, he might have believed her if this were a year ago. But now, he knew that the woman before him was no longer the same girl from years ago. Her schemes were chillingly evident.

"I know you planned for Nicole to have a miscarriage, and it's not that I'm not holding you accountable for it, but Nicole spared you for the sake of the Wrenn Family's reputation. This is your last chance. If you ever approach me again in the future or harm Nicole, the Gardner Family will never let you off," he warned in a chilling tone.

The ominous warning made Evelyn's initially rosy face turn pale, and a hint of mist appeared in her eyes.
