Chapter 1322

Chapter 1322 It Is Zachary’s

'Actually, the child in Evelyn's womb isn't Colton's. However, he hasn't discovered the biological father's identity yet.

Nevertheless, this isn't a significant concern.'

Nicole's gaze lowered as she read the new message from Roxanna, and a wave of emotions swept over her. I

understand why Colton is doing this, but there's a child in my womb. It's an embodiment of the conflict between us.

I can't afford to distract him from his current focus. For now, I need to support him discreetly from the sidelines.

The rest can wait for another time.

"Nicole, Roxanna has sent another message," Chloe said, glancing at the lit screen and gently nudging Nicole. She

knew that Nicole's thoughts had likely drifted again. Although she appears no different from usual, whenever

someone mentions Colton, it will only take a few minutes before she drifts into a trance.

With the nudge, Nicole snapped back to reality, her gaze falling on the new message from Roxanna. Her pupils

contracted suddenly to the extreme. 'Colton is asking about your child.' She realized that Roxanna was uncertain

about how to respond to his question. Indeed, without her consent, Roxanna wouldn't dare to readily divulge such

personal information.

Meanwhile, Chloe also seemed to have noticed the content on the screen. Worried, she looked at Nicole and said

softly, "Roxanna seems a bit anxious. Maybe we should reply to her quickly." She wasn't rushing Nicole, but she

sensed the importance of a decision. This can't go on forever. I don't want to see her distressed over Colton's

affairs again.

Nicole nodded and tapped on the phone screen several times, successfully sending a message.

On Roxanna's end, anxiety gripped her as she watched her phone, waiting for Nicole's message. With every text

Colton sent, the pressure mounted for her to answer, but she could only stall for so long. Hence, if Nicole instructed

her to share the information, she would promptly inform Colton.

'Tell him that it is Zachary's.'

After reading the message, Roxanna's eyes darkened. She hesitated briefly before crafting a message to the man,

conveying a similar message. It seems that Nicole doesn't want anything to do with him anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole thought, It's a critical time now. I can't afford to distract Colton. If that person is

abroad, I can assist with the investigation. Once everything is resolved, if he is still willing to be with me, we can

discuss it then. With her mind made up, she composed herself and turned to Chloe, saying, "Bring me the

documents."

Immediately, Chloe reached for the pile of documents nearby and accurately retrieved the ones they needed,

placing them on the table. Then, she subtly observed Nicole's demeanor, ensuring she was okay before breathing a

sigh of relief. Her realization is a positive turn of events for everyone involved.

"This person is named Kendrick Hofstead. Let's meet with him tomorrow," Nicole said, her gaze narrowing slightly

as she looked at the detailed information about Kendrick in the documents. He's recommended by Mr. Lloyd.

Suppose we can negotiate a partnership and secure this man as the primary investor, then it will pave the way for

the smooth progression of our upcoming projects.

"Understood. I'll make the preparations," Chloe replied, nodding before leaving the room.

As Chloe left, Nicole took a moment to survey her surroundings. This was the location she chose for the research

center. Other areas were still undergoing construction, and a temporary hotel was available for her and Chloe to

work in. The full completion of the center will take at least six months, but there are many things to be completed

within this period.

On the other hand, as soon as Chloe walked out of the room, she exhaled a sigh of relief. I wonder how things are

progressing on Roxanna's end. She sensed Nicole had a grander scheme beyond establishing a research center.

She must have other plans in mind.
