Chapter 977 Are You Nice to Me Because of the Child?

"You don't have to be shy, Nicky," Colton whispered gently, a teasing glint flashing across his black gaze. "I've seen

everything, anyway."

That angered Nicole. "Get lost!" she yelled as she gritted her teeth and looked viciously at him.

Colton couldn't stop himself from smiling at that. Seeing Nicole's fierce appearance, he did not insist and said

instead, "Call me if you feel sick."

He was about to leave after he said that, but Nicole stopped him.

"Colton."

The tall man paused for a moment before he turned his head.

He was dressed casually today, with his silky, black hair on his head in no particular style, giving him a meek

appearance.

"Yes?" he asked.

Nicole blinked her eyes, her lips pursed tightly. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head to look at

him and questioned, "Are you being so nice to me only because I'm carrying your child?"

Colton had been treating her with exceptional gentleness these few days, which made Nicole feel uneasy.

Colton, on the other hand, laughed as he looked at the woman resting on the bed. He walked to her with his dark

gaze fixed on her face. After a few beats, he murmured slowly, "Such a heartless person you are, huh? Is that who I

am to you? Wasn't I nice to you in the past?"

Nicole was taken aback. She expected him to become enraged, which was why she was surprised that he could still

speak to her in such a lighthearted manner.

Thus, she pursed her lips and laid her head against the bed frame, unsure about what to say.

Colton took a step forward. The room was so silent that they could even hear the falling rain outside.

The next thing Nicole knew, Colton had his hand on her head. His hoarse voice was compassionate as he said softly,

"It's up to you whether you want to keep the child or not. I'll respect your decision. I'm nice to you because I love

you, not because of the child in your womb. Do you understand?"

Nicole's heart skipped a beat when she heard his words. She bit her lower lip, blinked her eyes, and paused for a

while before replying, "Okay."

"Don't think too much," Colton commented as he withdrew his hand. "If you don't want to keep the child, I'll

accompany you to whatever procedure is needed after Hayden's matter is settled. We already have Hayden,

anyway."



Nicole was ashamed in the face of Colton's gentleness, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

Colton, however, wasn't bothered by it. After his words, he turned around and walked away.

It was only when Nicole was left alone in the room that she came out of her trance.

She put out her hand on her stomach, dazedly staring at the ceiling. Is Colton treating me so well because he loves

me?

Nicole had originally thought that she would never fall in love again. All she wanted was to raise Hayden well and

then go into a more behind-the-scenes role in her job, but what Colton had said earlier moved her and her fondness

for him grew.

As she tried to suppress her emotions, she pursed her lips slightly and decided not to ponder about it.

After resting on the bed for a while, Nicole finally sat up after some struggle. Though it was cold outdoors, she felt

uncomfortable going to bed without taking a bath.

Hence, she stood up and went to the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, Nicole found herself looking

haggard, and the evenly distributed muscles she had appeared to be slightly loose, possibly due to her pregnancy.

Seeing that, she couldn't help but pinch the flesh on her body. They were mushy and soft to the touch.

She trained herself every day to maintain her form when she was in F&M Apparel previously. However, when she

returned to the country, she was so preoccupied with everything that had transpired that she couldn't find any time

to exercise at all. Furthermore, with her pregnancy now, she indeed found herself gaining weight.
