Chapter 3


    Chapter 3 We Look Exactly Alike!


    One could tell at a nce that the man wasn’t to be messed with, for he had amanding presence.


    Still, Nicole straightened her back nheless and took a step forward, blocking his path. “Hey, you!


    Were you the one who bullied my son?” Since the man was very tall, she only reached the height of his


    shoulders despite standing on high heels, which somehow made her feel somewhat weaker.


    Upon hearing Nicole’s voice, Colton turned to look at her. The woman had dazzling features, but her


    palm-sized face had fury written all over it. Holding her small chin high, she looked wild and intractable.


    However, Colton was slightly lost in thought when he caught a whiff of the barely noticeable scent on


    her. This scent… It feels somewhat familiar…


    Suddenly, a child’s sobbing voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “Mom, it was him!”


    A flicker of scorn shed across Colton’s eyes, which were as deep and fathomless as a frozen pond,


    when he saw the boy clinging onto Nicole’s trouser leg. Women nowadays are getting craftier than one


    another in terms of tricks in order to get close to me. To think that this woman is able to find a kid who


    looks so much like me! If it weren’t for me being certain about Queenie being the only woman I’ve ever


    touched, I would’ve suspected him of being my son…


    “Apologize to my son, mister!” Nicole demanded, holding her head high while trying hard not to appear


    timid. “Don’t you feel ashamed of bullying such a little kid as an adult man?”


    Colton’s eyes narrowed slightly; his voice was deep and mellow, like a barrel of well-matured wine.


    “Didn’t he tell you what he had done?”


    Naturally, Nicole sided with her son. “Tell me then—what did my son do to make you bully him like


    that?”


    Colton let out a cold snort before lifting his foot. “Do you understand now?”


    Nicole looked all the way down the man’s incredibly long legs until she spotted a damp patch on the


    hem of his trouser leg. Could this be… A bad feeling arose in her gut. As she lifted her son up from her


    feet, her throat felt somewhat dry. “What did you do?”

    Hayden replied aggrievedly, “Nothing. I just peed on him by ident, so he wanted to hit me.”


    Nicole’s initially towering rage immediately vanished, and she rubbed her nose in embarrassment. Will


    it be toote for me to start apologizing now? Why didn’t this little rascal tell me sooner about it after


    doing something wrong? “I’m sorry,” she said apologetically with aplete reversal in attitude while


    looking down at the man’s trouser legs. The man’s clothes were unbranded, but she could tell from the


    fabric alone that they must be very expensive. “I’llpensate you for the…”


    Colton loathed such disgusting and obsequious ways of chatting someone up. He interrupted Nicole


    coldly, saying, “Just manage your child so that he won’t call any man whom he came across ‘Dad.’


    Such a way of chatting someone up is really old-fashioned. And besides…”


    He paused for a moment before continuing in a voice as cold as a deep pond that had existed for 1,000


    years,


    “There’s no way you canpensate for my clothes.” With that, he strode off.


    Chatting someone up? There’s no way I canpensate for his clothes? Nicole trembled all over with


    rage. Just what kind of a man is he? Well, I admit that this guy is iparably good-looking, but he


    isn’t so charming to the extent where women would throw themselves at him on sight, is he? Although


    her son was the one in the wrong in this matter, she couldn’t help but despise the man for his cocky


    way of speaking and haughty manner. What a bad-mannered, uncouth upstart! What a waste of such


    good looks!


    “Mom.” Hayden looked up with a hurt look in his eyes.


    Seeing how her son looked, Nicole couldn’t find it in herself to scold him. She pinched his tender


    cheek, asking, “Did you call him ‘Dad’ just now?”


    “Yeah,” Hayden mumbled in dejection.


    A hint of helplessness flickered across Nicole’s face when she heard Hayden’s reply. “Didn’t I show you


    photos of your dad? Your dad is a jerk!” She never concealed Hayden’s parentage from him, and she


    had shown him photos of Joseph, but he never believed her. Whenever she showed him Joseph’s


    photo, he would retort, “There’s no way my dad would be so ugly! I’m so good-looking, so my dad has


    to be good-looking, too.”


    Nicole was rendered speechless. Joseph was a phnderer, but he was by no means ugly.


    Lifting his little face up, Hayden replied stubbornly, “That’s impossible! Mom, don’t you think that the


    guy just now is my dad? We look exactly alike!”
