Chapter 1062 Stay With Me

Nicole raised her head and glanced over upon hearing the sound of footsteps by the stairway. Once she saw that

Wendy had already changed into comfortable clothing and was heading downstairs, she sent her a smile and

ushered her over. "Come, Wendy. Sit next to me."

Wendy wrapped her arms around herself and jogged toward Nicole. She had her head lowered the entire time as

she greeted, "Hello, Nicole."

A faint smile appeared on Nicole's lips. She served some food on Wendy's plate, saying gently, "Your brother said

that this is your favorite, and we had the chef prepare it just for you. Have a taste."

A flicker of emotion flitted past Wendy's face as she lowered her head and looked at the food on her plate before

starting to take small tentative bites. During her time at Jerry's base, all she ate was some bread and milk that was

just enough to fill her stomach. Now that she had a bite of something warm again, she suddenly felt tears brimming

her eyes.

Wendy's eyes immediately turned red-rimmed, and she sniffled, feeling a lump clogging her throat.

She lowered her eyes and picked up a piece of meat with her fork before shoving it into her mouth. "It's yummy."

Colton let out a tiny chuckle after catching sight of her reaction, thinking that the entire ordeal hadn't truly doused

the spark in her eyes.

After a few bites of such a warm meal, Wendy slowly raised her head to look at Beryl and Dominic. After a while,

she bit her lip and said, "Beryl, Dominic, thank you for saving me. Although I know that you only came upon my

brother's request, I'm still thankful."

Beryl chuckled and waved her words off, saying, "You don't need to thank us. I've seen you grow up to be the

woman you are today. I would have shown up even without Colton's request."

Dominic nodded profusely, clearly agreeing with his words.

Wendy happily finished the rest of her dinner, and it seemed that she wasn't the least bit affected at all. She was

completely different from when she had just been rescued, and it was as if she had already put everything behind

her.

After Wendy finished her meal and headed upstairs under Nicole's company, Beryl spoke up dubiously, "I thought

this little brat was terrified, but looking at her now… I have to say that not only was she not afraid, but she also

bounced back rather quickly."

Colton's furrowed brows eased slightly, and he said indifferently, "She's just putting up a mask because she doesn't

want any of you to see her so vulnerable."



Of course, he knew just what kind of person his sister was. After she had lived in an ivory tower free from any

harm, this sudden turn of events would most likely cause her to mature quite a bit. Still, it was fortunate that

nothing else happened to her during her kidnapping.

"Oh, so the princess has finally grown up after all."

Colton lowered his head and glanced at his phone. On the screen was a message from Benjamin, asking how

Wendy was doing.

Colton lightly tapped on the screen, his fingers swiftly typing out a reply. 'She's fine, and she's already back with me.

We'll head back together after resting for a few days.'

'Okay.'

Meanwhile, Nicole accompanied Wendy back to her room. In the past few days, Wendy had been unable to catch a

good night's rest. Although she had been given a bed, she was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would

enter her room during her sleep, so she was constantly on high alert and refused to let her guard down even for a

moment.

Besides, the bed there was narrow and hard, and she was unused to sleeping in such conditions after enjoying a life

of luxury. Now that she was finally back, she was immediately hit with a wave of drowsiness.

Nicole sat by the head of the bed and watched as Wendy yawned, soothing her in a gentle voice, "Go to sleep. We'll

go straight home after you've had a few days of rest."

Wendy blinked and reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes as she tilted her head to look at Nicole. "Nicole, can

you stay with me tonight?"

Nicole nodded and reached out to take her hand, comforting her, "Okay, I'll stay with you. Just sleep, I'll be here."

Suddenly, a lump got caught in Wendy's throat, and her eyes filled with tears. She turned her head away,

murmuring in discomfort, "Nicole, don't you think that I'm a weak crybaby? After all, I've already been rescued, but

I'm still behaving like a pathetic weakling."
