Chapter 869

Nicole heard noises inside not long after she walked out. Her lips then formed a small smile.

Despite being the same age as Evelyn, Evelyn had been spoiled since she was young and couldn't stand the

slightest annoyance.

Nicole was serious. If Evelyn touched her son, she would never forgive Evelyn.

She knew Evelyn intended to embarrass her by asking her to design an evening gown, but she was only concerned

with her son.

As for Colton…

Nicole became upset at the thought of how Colton was set to marry another lady.

She frowned and walked out with her back straight, attempting to contain her emotion.

Nicole returned to the villa and took up the drawing paper she hadn't touched in a long time.

When she worked at F&M Apparel, all she did was make high-end gowns. As a result, she was familiar with the task.

In a few strokes, she outlined the general appearance of the garment with a pencil.

She was inspired. The garment was quickly sketched out using a lightly pressed pencil across the page.

According to her nature, Evelyn would not enjoy simple clothes. The Gardner and Wrenn families were wealthy, too.

In light of this, Nicole adorned the gown with a lot of extravagant diamond jewelry.

When Zachary walked upstairs, he found Nicole absorbed in her artwork. So, he approached with curiosity and

smiled. "Oh? Picking up your old job?"

Nicole looked at Zachary and set down her pencil to retell the earlier events.

Zachary grimaced and lowered his voice gradually. Then, he stretched out to rest his hands on Nicole's shoulder

and dropped his voice. "Nicole, don't be terrified. I will not allow you and Hayden to be apart."

Nicole gave a weak smile. She didn't want to take any chances. Evelyn intended to take advantage of the

opportunity to humiliate her, but she felt nothing. In fact, Nicole's life would finally be peaceful once Colton and

Evelyn were married.

"Everything is fine with me. This is my job. Therefore, it's simple for me."

Zachary was wounded when he saw Nicole concede her predicament.



Nicole had always preferred to solve problems on her own.

She disliked causing problems. People would feel sorry for her because of her level-headedness.

Zachary closed his palms before bending over and hugging Nicole's shoulder.

He used little strength in his arms and rested his massive chest on Nicole's head.

Nicole's hand, which was clutching the pencil, froze automatically. Her mouth was agape, and she couldn't speak a

word.

"Please don't treat me as an outsider, Nicole. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to talk to me. I will assist you."

Zachary's soothing words gradually drilled into Nicole's ears. He was always kind.

Nicole's heart was filled with unexplainable guilt. She squeezed the pen so firmly that her knuckles became white.

She didn't know how to react to Zachary's intense devotion.

She was aware that she had never had feelings for Zachary.

Nicole let go of the pencil and placed it on the table. She lowered her head and whispered, "I know you love me,

Zach. But I don't like you romantically. Are you willing to accept that?"

Nicole's statements did not appear to surprise Zachary. He lightly curled his lips against her ear, saying, "I can live

with it. Nicole, I don't care. I'm solely interested in you. I believe you will fall in love with me after we have been

together for a long time."

Nicole's breathing seemed to be coming to a stop. So, she hurriedly stood up and stepped away from Zachary's

scorching grasp.
