Chapter 290 Protected
Once Colton was done reprimanding the bodyguards, he waved them off without saying much. “You’re dismissed.”
The bodyguards left without much fanfare.
After being insulted by Colton like that, Olivia’s face twisted into an ugly expression. However, she held back and
looked at him calmly as she asked with squinted eyes, “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to piss Grandpa
off?”
As Colton turned to face her, he pursed his lips and said, “Aunt, because you are older than me, I don’t mean any
disrespect. However, Nicole and Hayden are my mother’s guests. Therefore, I don’t think it’s acceptable for you to
do this.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer face changed as soon as she heard what he said. Then, she curled up her hand and pointed at Nicole
accusingly, “Could it be that you really want to accept this child as your own, Colton? You’re the heir to the Gardner
Family, and she is nothing! You should find a woman that is on par with you!”
This made Colton’s face turn dark; his following sentence was filled with displeasure as he spoke coldly, “Aunt, for
the sake of Grandpa, if you want to stay in the Gardner Residence any longer, I’d advise you to keep quiet.”
Immediately, Olivia’s eyes widened in disbelief. Did he mean that she would be kicked out if she did not accept
Nicole and her son?
How absurd!
This was ridiculous!
Was he choosing an outsider over her?!
At this moment, Anna had also come out. So, when she saw the scene in front of her, she could guess what was
happening.
Thus, she stepped forward and stood in front of Olivia.
“I’ve told dad about Hayden and Nicole, and he has no objections. So, I think it’s best that you leave our family
affairs alone now.”
After she said this, she motioned Colton to bring both Nicole and Hayden in.
Colton nodded and quickly ushered the two into the house.
At this point, Olivia’s face was burning with anger. She initially wanted to step forward to stop them, but Anna
blocked her.
By now, her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Anna with gritted teeth and said, “Anna, what the hell are you
doing? Although he is of Colton’s flesh and blood, he has been living outside for years! Who knows what he has
become? Yet, you just allowed them into the Gardner Family like this?!”
Olivia’s questioning didn’t provoke Anna as she answered with a polite smile, “That is Colton’s personal business.
We shouldn’t interfere.”
“Do you know what that woman has in mind? What if she’s here to use her son to rob us of our properties?” Olivia
exclaimed aloud.
Finally, Anna’s face darkened as she warned in a low voice, “Olivia, that’s enough. Not everyone is as bad as you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmake them out to be.”
Once she was done speaking, she did not want to argue with Olivia any longer, so she turned around and left.
Inside, Colton held Hayden in one hand as he led the two into Benedict’s ward.
All this while, Hayden’s eyes were opened wide as he looked at Colton; his eyes were filled with expectations.
Finally, after a while, he muttered, “Uncle, are you really my father?”
This stupefied Colton as he did not expect Nicole to tell Hayden about this. He paused for a moment before he
nodded and agreed.
When Hayden saw this, he lowered his gaze, and his face looked slightly upset. He hesitated for a moment before
saying, “Uncle, although I would love for you to be my father, the woman just now is too fierce. She also tried to
attack my mommy. Because of that, I will not accept you as my dad!”
Although Nicole was amused by what she heard, she did not expect her son to be so protective. He knew how to
fend for himself at such a young age!
Colton did not expect these words to come out from Hayden as well, and he smirked.
“If your mommy marries me, I will protect her and protect you as well.”
As his low, husky voice rang in the air, it somehow made Nicole blush!
