Chapter 441 Care
Colton didn’t seem angry after hearing Nicole’s words. “That’s not true. You’re the only one I’m
interested in. You’re the only one I want to kiss,” he replied. Nicole didn’t know what to say—she simply
took a step back before wiping her lips with a disdainful look on her face. “It’s my honor, I guess,” she
uttered in an unenthusiastic tone.
“If that made you feel honored, I wouldn’t mind kissing you again,” he said. He was the definition of
cocky, and Nicole was rendered speechless by his shameless words once more.
She looked him in the eye. “You shouldn’t be interested in me, President Gardner. I’m a mother of a
child. Furthermore, with your status, family background, and good looks, there are probably tons of
women lining up for you.”
Colton didn’t seem shy after hearing Nicole’spliments. Instead, he gave her azy gaze. “Are you
one of those women in line?”
“No,” she replied firmly. A hint of disappointment surfaced in Colton’s eyes when he heard how she
rejected him without hesitation. “That’s a shame,” he muttered.
Nicole didn’t have the patience to talk to him for long, so she distanced herself as she bid him goodbye.
“Well, if that’s all, then I’ll head off now, President Colton.” She turned and left immediately after that—
she didn’t want to give Colton a chance to stop her.
However, when she stepped out of the door, she heard his voiceing from behind her. “I realized
that I really like you, Nicole. Since Hayden’s our child, do you want to consider being with me?” he
asked. But Nicole simply acted as if she couldn’t hear him and merely hastened her footsteps. When
Colton saw the way Nicole hurried off, he simply spread his lips into a faint smile. It’s fine. We have all
the time in the world.
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief after she left Colton’s house. Phew. I can’t believe I visited him only to
have to make a fool out of myself! My limbs feel weak whenever I think about what happened just now.
Nevertheless, Nicole was more concerned about Julia’s situation right then. The Zuniga Family was in
the way of Julia and Richard’s rtionship, so it wouldn’t matter even if Julia and Richard were in love
with one another.
After some contemtion, Nicole finally decided to go to Julia’s house. Julia was sitting on the couch
with a packet of snacks in her hands. She munched on the snacks while watching TV, and looked
extremelyfortable. Nicole entered the house with bags of vegetables; that was because Nicole had
the experience of being a pregnant woman, and she knew the right food to get for Julia.

When Julia saw Nicole entering, she lowered her snacks and wiped her lips. The corners of her lips
were covered with crumbs. “Hey, Nicole. I’m so tired after sitting around for so long, but I don’t feel like
going out on my own,” Juliained while stretching her limbs.
When Nicole saw thezy look on the other woman’s face, she couldn’t help but chuckle. Nicole started
tidying the room and throwing the trash into the bin as she spoke.
“You should move around more since you’re pregnant, Julia. You’re a doctor, so you should know
better. Your child will not benefit from all these snacks you’re eating.”
Julia lowered her gaze as a somewhat dejected look surfaced in her eyes. She took a while to gather
her emotions before speaking. “I don’t know how to cook—you know that.
I don’t have a choice but to eat these things.” In the past, when Richard was still with her, he would be
the one who cooked. She wasn’t used to living alone.
Nicole couldn’t help but let out a sigh at the sight of how messy Julia’s living conditions were. “How
about this, Julia? You can stay at my ce, and it’ll be easier for me to take care of you,” Nicole
suggested in the end.
Julia shook her head. “No. It’s going to be a hassle for you.” Nicole was about to respond when Julia
continued speaking. “I can’t allow the Jenkins or the Gardners to see me like this, Nicole. If they see
me, they’ll figure out what’s going on. So, it’s best for me to stay in a ce where they can’t find me.”
