Chapter 1363 Another Problem

Nicole looked as if she hadn't heard Chloe's words at all. She simply went on searching for food in the fridge. It

seemed like she was really famished. Chloe tried to stifle a laugh, and she cleared her throat before speaking

again. "I can cook something for you if you're hungry, Nicole."

Nicole's actions came to a halt before she slowly turned around to face Chloe. Nicole looked like a child who had

just made a mistake—there was a mixture of embarrassment and guilt on her face. She was actually there to look

for some ice cream. Chloe had stopped her from eating ice cream recently, but Nicole simply couldn't ignore her

cravings.

"Is there something you're hiding from me, Nicole?" Chloe seemed to realize something when she saw the look on

Nicole's face, and she shot the woman a suspicious gaze while smiling at her. Nicole hastily pushed the fridge door

shut. She felt genuinely self-conscious when she saw the way Chloe's eyes bore into hers. "It's nothing, Chloe. I'm

not hungry. I'm going to head back to get some rest. I have work tomorrow," Nicole announced while shaking her

head. Then, she turned and hurried off to avoid Chloe's further questions.

Chloe couldn't help but curl her lips into an exasperated smile when she watched how Nicole scurried off. Chloe

knew exactly what Nicole wanted, of course. I bet she's craving ice cream.

"Oh, well." Chloe let out a sigh to herself before she headed back to her own room. I don't have a choice. I have to

make sure Nicole watches her diet—I'm doing this for her health.

Upon returning to her room, Nicole still felt troubled by the fact that she hadn't gotten her cravings satisfied. Her

baby was due in five months, and she would need some time to recover after birth. That was a long wait. "Ugh.

When will I get to eat whatever I want?" She shook her head dejectedly.

After a long afternoon nap, Nicole got out of bed and headed over to the research center. The research center was

close to where she stayed so that made things convenient for her. However, most of the people at the research

center seemed especially protective and attentive toward her since she was pregnant. Nicole didn't like this. Should

I just stay home for the next five months? she thought.

Knock knock. Nicole was just about to take a break when someone knocked on her door. "I have something to talk

to you about, Nicole." It was Chloe's voice. Nicole opened the door without any hesitation, and she rested a hand on

her belly as she walked over to her. "What is it?" Nicole asked.

Chloe rushed forward to support Nicole, and she felt guilty about her own decisions right then. I could've just spoken

to her earlier this morning. I'm so insensitive! I shouldn't bother Nicole at this hour. "Forget it. Let's talk about it

tomorrow. You should get some rest, Nicole. I was being selfish by showing up at this hour," Chloe uttered while

shaking her head. She helped Nicole over to the bed with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Upon hearing Chloe's words, Nicole rushed forward to hold onto Chloe's arm. "Oh, it's fine. What is it? Tell me."

Nicole found herself gaining trust in Chloe when she saw how sincere and earnest Chloe seemed. Even though

Roxanna had her strengths, Nicole still preferred relying on Chloe, especially for international matters.

"Well, it's about your pregnancy. Many of the people in the research center have been paying more attention to

your stomach nowadays, so I figured that there might be a way for you to know about the progress at the center

without having to go over every day," Chloe explained as she sat down beside Nicole.

This was something that had been on Nicole's mind, and she nodded upon hearing Chloe's words. "Go on. Don't

stop," she uttered when Chloe fell silent for a while. Nicole had been trying to work around the same issue, and she

smiled when she realized that Chloe had been thinking about the same thing. Nicole was eager to hear what Chloe

had to say.

"Well, we could collect reports from that day, and you could read them the next day and respond by noon. That

allows us to progress at our usual pace. Furthermore, I'll be at the center, so you don't have to tire yourself by

traveling around all the time, Nicole. What do you think?" Chloe suggested.
