Chapter 912

Chapter 912

After getting out of the car, Nicole went straight into her room. But when she was about to close her eyes and rest,

her phone suddenly rang.

While squinting, she felt around her bedside table for a while before finding her phone.

Still squinting, she glanced at her phone and saw it was a call from Zachary.

Nicole forced herself to pick up the call.

"Hey, Zach." Her voice was filled with tiredness.

On the other hand, Zachary tightened his grip on his phone and waited a while before asking, "Nicole, what's the

matter with you and Colton's engagement you mentioned during the press conference today?"

He was trying very hard to keep calm, but his voice still sounded shaky.

When he heard others saying that the Wrenns had acknowledged Nicole as their daughter this morning, he thought

it was good news, but he didn't expect it would be followed by news of Nicole and Colton's engagement ceremony.

Everything had happened too suddenly.

It was only now that Nicole realized she had been so swamped that she forgot to update Zachary about this matter.

She massaged her nose bridge while explaining in a raspy voice, "Colton got engaged to Evelyn back then because

she had drugged him and then threatened him with her life. Now that this matter has cleared up, they have to

cancel the engagement. But it will look bad on the Wrenn Family if this matter gets out, so they asked me to replace

Evelyn."

Having listened to Nicole's explanation, Zachary frowned deeper as he felt something strange about this matter. It

must be not as simple as it seems.

"But, Nicole, an engagement is a lifetime decision. How can you just simply agree to it?" Zachary asked in a deep

voice.

I only took my eyes off Nicole for a bit, and she's about to get engaged to Colton, he complained internally. He felt

he wouldn't be this nervous if it were someone else.

But now, he could feel a sense of danger around him.

In the meantime, Nicole also sighed softly. Of course, she knew that getting engaged was a big decision. However,

it had been publicly announced, so there was no turning back.



She forced a smile before elaborating, "Zach, it's just for show. After we're engaged, I will say that we don't get

along well as an excuse to break up with him. That way, both the Wrenns and Gardners won't get humiliated."

However, Zachary thought the excuse seemed too far-fetched, so he questioned, "Don't you think this is a trap?"

Nicole hadn't thought of that, but she was so tired that she was straining to keep her eyes open, so she hurriedly

replied, "Zach, it's just for show, and we won't be getting any official documents, so it's nothing to worry about.

Madam Gould has explained everything to me."

Though Zachary was still worried, he felt resigned after hearing Nicole's words and stopped insisting on this matter.

"I know it's just for show, but I'm still worried…"

Knowing Zachary was worried about her, Nicole assured him, "There's nothing to worry about. Nothing about it is

real. We're just putting on a show for the public."

Zachary pursed his lips and decided against saying anything else. He sighed before urging her, "I know. You must be

careful, alright?"

Nicole acknowledged his words and hung up when Zachary said nothing else. Then, she lay on the bed.

Her mind was a mess, and she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

In the end, Nicole was woken up from her sound sleep by Hayden.

"Mom, wake up. Grandma says that the engagement ceremony is about to start."

Forcing her heavy eyelids to open, Nicole slowly looked at Hayden while leisurely yawning. She suddenly felt like

getting engaged was so much trouble because she had to get up so early.

"I know. I'll tidy up and head over there," Nicole said while scratching her messy head.

Once Hayden left her room, Nicole went to tidy up herself. Siobhan had someone specially prepare a makeup room

for Nicole with everything she needed. Even the wedding gown Colton sent over was neatly placed there.

Nicole didn't have time to take a closer look at the wedding gown yesterday. Now that it was displayed before her,

she realized this was a wedding gown she had designed herself.
