Chapter 365
Chapter 365 On the Same Bed
Anna understood where Olivia wasing from, but when she recalled Olivia and Nicole’s situation,
she couldn’t help feeling somewhat uneasy.
Olivia seemed to have noticed Anna’s worry, for she said in a low voice, “As much as I have a problem
with Nicole, she saved Dad, after all. I won’t give her a hard time.”
Though disdain stillced her tone, it was already much better than before.
Anna could finally put her mind to ease after hearing Olivia’s words. Nicole was now considered their
family’s savior, and it wouldn’t be right for her sister-inw to continue treating the woman like before.
…
Nicole had been asleep for a long time, and it had been a long while since she had slept sofortably
on a bed because of this surgery, as well as the days she spent honing her skills in the Hull Family’s
research center.
God knew just how long she had been asleep, but she felt groggy when she stirred. Although her brain
was aware of reality, she couldn’t open her eyes as it felt like someone had glued them together.
With that, she ced a hand on her forehead, taking a long time to open her eyes gradually. She then
removed her hand aside, only to freeze when she was about to get up.
She seemed to have hit something just now.
rmed, she looked toward it to find Colton lying next to her in bed, leading her to curse in shock.
Fortunately, she stopped those words just as they reached the tip of her tongue, saving her from a
gaffe.

As Colton hadn’t entered deep slumber, he woke up as soon as Nicole swatted him, and he couldn’t
help feeling amused when he saw her covering herself up with the nket, wide-eyed.
He had slept ratherte that day, and it was only less than three hours since he climbed into bed.
When he saw her dramatic expression, he kindly exined, “This is my room and my bed, so there’s
no need to freak out that I’m here.”
Since Nicole had been in his embrace from the beginning, she didn’t have the chance to check the
ce out. She finally nced around in hindsight.
“Why did you bring me here?” she asked with a frown, feeling somewhat displeased.
“You were sleepy, and I didn’t think too far ahead when I brought you here. I might not stay here often,
but they still clean the room regrly. It’s not dirty,” Colton exined thoughtfully.
She didn’t mind the filth. Instead, Nicole was bothered by the fact that she was sleeping in the same
bed as Colton. Though he was Hayden’s father, in her eyes, he still had nothing to do with her.
“Since I’m already sleeping here, shouldn’t you avoid arousing suspicion by sleeping in another bed,
President Gardner?” Nicole asked with a half-smile, nearly gritting her teeth.
However, Colton smiled somewhat frivolously and shamelessly said, “I’m picky about beds, you see. I
can’t fall asleep if the bed isn’t mine. I’m sorry, but we’ll have to snuggle in one bed.”
Nicole had a feeling this guy was so shameless that nothing she said would get him to leave.
Nheless, she still suppressed her anger. Honestly, must I go through something this annoying the
moment I wake up?
With that, she lifted the covers and got out of bed. “It’s only past 4.00AM right now. Why don’t you
sleep a little longer?” Colton’s voice came from behind her.
“No, I’ve had enough rest. I’m going to take a look at Old Mr. Benedict,” said Nicole as she fixed her
shirt, which had been wrinkled during her sleep. Fortunately, they were both dressed, dering them
innocent.
Right as she finished speaking, a rustling noise came from behind her. She turned around to look
curiously and found that Colton had gotten out of bed.
He was in a better situation than Nicole, for he had removed his jacket before going to bed.
“I’ll go with you,” he said while putting on his jacket.
Nicole didn’t turn him down since Benedict was his grandfather. She couldn’t stop him from seeing his
own grandfather, could she?
She opened the door after fixing her shirt, letting Colton follow right behind.
