Chapter 1354 The Fretful Scene in the Private Room

Sounds of cheerful laughter and even teasing directed at Nicole could be heard coming from the private room next

door from time to time.

On the other hand, Colton was sitting in a private room nearby, his face gloomy as he ate his meal. Had Wendy not

wanted to dine here, he would've slammed his fork and spoon on the dining table and stormed off long ago.

Wendy ate her meal in silence, not daring to say a word. After all, she knew Colton's temper pretty well. I'd better

behave well today and head straight back to the hotel after dinner without making any other demands.

She had thought that it would be a pleasure to meet Nicole here, but she didn't expect there would be another man

nearby. She knew a little bit about the man. When she was with Nicole before, Nicole had mentioned her medical

base, which was supposed to be a collaboration with this man. How could there be such a coincidence?

Suddenly, Colton looked up at her with a dark expression. He asked coldly, "When did you find out that she was

around here?"

Wendy's hands paused for a moment. Hearing his question, she put her fork and spoon down on the table and

looked up gingerly at his expression before taking in a sharp breath. "Uh, I just found out today. I didn't expect my

sister-in-law to be around here. It was quite a coincidence! Haha!" she replied with an awkward laugh before

picking up her fork and spoon and continuing to eat in silence with her head down. Who would dare to tell the truth

with that kind of expression? It's better to just brush him off with a random excuse. If he finds out about the real

situation, I'll definitely get lectured today!

Sounds of cheerful loughter ond even teosing directed ot Nicole could be heord coming from the privote room next

On the other hond, Colton wos sitting in o privote room neorby, his foce gloomy os he ote his meol. Hod Wendy not

situotion, I'll definitely get lectured todoy!

"Who is that guy?" asked Colton as if he hadn't understood what she just said.

Wendy closed her eyes in resignation. Oh, God, please don't do this to me. How am I supposed to answer that?

Even though I know that he's Nicole's business partner, I can't just blurt it out, right? "I don't know," she replied in a

muffled voice. I'm not going to spill the beans. I've got to maintain my good friendship with Nicole.

"Is the food delicious?"

"Yeah."

"Does the red wine taste good?"

"Yeah."

"Is that guy her business partner?"

"Yeah," blurted Wendy. As soon as she said that, she quickly covered her mouth with her innocent eyes wide open.

What did I just say? Did I just blurt out the truth? She glared at him angrily. This guy is treacherous, changing the

subject to distract me and then suddenly extracting the real answer from me! What a schemer! "Why you!"

"Well, I would've known even if you didn't say it." Colton slowly lowered his head and ate the food on his plate as

though he had heard the response he wanted.

"Then why did you have to trick me like that?" Wendy pouted defiantly, suddenly losing her appetite as she looked

at the spread of dishes on the dining table. Isn't that a form of betrayal against Nicole? How annoying! He's truly a

company president, taking charge of his company's affairs and playing tricks on people with his wicked mind.

Colton grabbed the napkin at hand and wiped his mouth as if he had finished his meal. "Well, I just suddenly felt like

asking. You don't have to get so worked up about it."

Wendy rolled her eyes in exasperation. She shot an annoyed glance at the man, but the moment she saw the look

on his face, she immediately withdrew her gaze like an obedient kitten retracting its claws.

Colton's eyes were cold, and the atmosphere around him was different from usual. "No more calling her sister-in-

law. She doesn't deserve it," he said, stressing each word as though the "she" he referred to weren't his beloved

woman.

"I—" retorted Wendy. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Colton's expression, which reminded her

of Nicole's instructions. She shut up obediently without saying another word. I'd be a fool to speak up at a time like

this. Ah, life isn't easy, is it?
