Chapter 907
Colton squinted his long eyes as he continuously gazed upon Nicole's body.
Pressured by his stare, she turned away slightly, trying to avoid meeting his eyes.
Then, he let out a chuckle and asked, "Nicole, you once said you love me. Have you forgotten about that?" As he
spoke in a sleazy tone, his hand was already touching Nicole's lips. With his fingers, he gently rubbed her succulent
lips, which felt nice to the touch.
As such, Nicole felt a trigger in her brain. Subconsciously, she wanted to take a couple of steps backward, only to
realize she was up against a wall and had no way to retreat. "I…" As she was about to speak, Colton pressed his
finger right into her mouth.
Widening her eyes, she was about to bite him, but Colton's menacing voice stopped her.
"Nicole, if you dare bite me, I wouldn't mind ripping your jaw off."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole was stunned speechless. When did Colton become this overbearing? She shot him a glare before shoving his
arm away, saying, "President Gardner, I have no obligations to marry you. Besides, it's best that we keep things
amiable between us."
Despite her cruel words, Colton wasn't angered. He straightened his back and muttered, "Oh, Nicole. You're so
selfish."
With that, she furrowed her brows and turned to him in confusion.
Revealing a grin, he continued, "Hayden's a big boy now. Don't you think he needs a father figure? Besides, about
the marriage, if you don't agree to it, the Wrenns would be mocked. By then, be it business or politics, you will
become a joke to society."
Nicole's body stiffened. She got to know a little about the Wrenns, but she didn't give it as much thought as Colton
did. Indeed, the matter between the Wrenns and the Gardners caused a major commotion. In order to cancel the
engagement, they would have to come up with a fitting excuse, which would be Evelyn's drugging incident. As such,
the Gardners would become the victims while the Wrenns would be labeled as perpetrators.
At a loss for words, Nicole pursed her lips.
Thereupon, Colton let out another chuckle and lowered his head. In that instant, they were directly facing each
other as their gazes intertwined and tethered. "Nicole, you know I love you. Whether it is for the sake of the Wrenns
or our son, don't be so quick to refuse, will you?"
And so, Nicole felt somewhat perturbed and began to hesitate. The Wrenns… Although she was Jackson's biological
daughter, it had only been a few days since the revelation, so she felt no attachment to the Wrenns. Thinking that
she was emotionless, she decided not to burden herself with the matter, but whenever she saw her son's desperate
gaze at Colton, she couldn't help but hesitate.
Revealing a grin, he continued, "Hayden's a big boy now. Don't you think he needs a father figure? Besides, about
the marriage, if you don't agree to it, the Wrenns would be mocked. By then, be it business or politics, you will
become a joke to society."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, she pushed the man's chest away from her and lowered her face. "I know. Don't worry about me,
President Gardner. Just mind your own business."
Colton took a step backward. Having no intention to pressure her, he revealed a subtle smile and breezily replied,
"Then I shall await your good news."
Without sparing him another glance, Nicole turned around and went back into the house.
Apparently, Rita, too, had joined the crowd some time ago, seemingly irritated as she sat in the primary seat. When
she saw Nicole coming back into the house, she swiftly stated, "Child, you don't have to listen to anyone. What you
like should be your priority. You've been so tormented living out there. Now that you're back to us, you should find
your own happiness, and not for the sake of someone else."
Although she had the desire to pair Nicole and Colton up, when she noticed that Nicole wasn't very willing to marry
Colton, she immediately switched sides and chose to support Nicole.
At once, Nicole was taken aback. She thought she would be slammed with suggestions to marry Colton when she
came back into the house, but to her surprise, Rita decided to convince her in her favor.
