Chapter 769 Evelyn's Confrontation
- While the duo remained silent throughout their meal, neither Nicole nor Colton made the first move to shatter that silence. Despite the delicious cuisine, Nicole was still overwhelmed by the discomfort brought on by the awkward atmosphere. Apart from that, the intimidating aura that Colton was radiating, as well as his piercing gaze, made Nicole feel chills running down her spine even more. When both of them were finally done with their meal, it was already afternoon. Then, Nicole shot a quick gaze at Colton and pursed her lips, saying, "It's getting late now, Mr. Gardner. It's time for me to make a move."
- In the meantime, Colton only curled his lips upward and stared at the lady, standing up just as she rose from her seat. Soon, his tall stature instantly towered over Nicole in his shadow, giving off a cold and chilly energy that felt rather intimidating. As Nicole looked at the man in confusion, he announced, "I want to be with you."
- Nicole was speechless, but after a few moments, she seemed to have summoned her courage and looked back at Colton. "Mr. Gardner, I just treated you to lunch as you suggested, so please don't push your luck." She paused for a second and added, "You and I should stay out of each other's hair and leave each other alone from now on!"
