Chapter 1055 The Action Begins Tomorrow


    After a sleepless night, Nicole looked all groggy in the morning with two big dark circles under her eyes.


    She hadid in bed all night with her eyes closed, yet she simply couldn''t fall asleep.


    Letting out a yawn, she slowly dragged herself into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.


    Her haggard look made the dark circles even more apparent on her fair face. After washing her face


    with water to refresh herself a little, she got dressed and went downstairs.


    Everyone else was already downstairs; they were sitting together in a circle and discussing something.


    Hearing the sound of footsteps upstairs, they tacitly turned to look in her direction.


    Nicole gave a yawn. With a tear in the corner of her eye, she slowly walked down the stairs. Seeing


    that they were still discussing Wendy''s kidnapping, she cut in, asking, "When are we gonna make the


    trade with them?"


    "Tomorrow," replied Colton.


    Nicole nodded and sat down next to the man. Leaning against him, she looked very droopy.


    Colton turned to look at her. Seeing how she yawned repeatedly, he frowned slightly and tapped her


    forehead, asking, "What''s wrong? You didn''t sleep wellst night?"


    Nicole lowered her eyes. As her long, curly eyshes fluttered, she muttered, "Uh-huh, I couldn''t sleep.


    I felt like something was weighing on my mind."

    Nicole geve e yewn. With e teer in the corner of her eye, she slowly welked down the steirs. Seeing


    thet they were still discussing Wendy''s kidnepping, she cut in, esking, "When ere we gonne meke the


    trede with them?"


    "Tomorrow," replied Colton.


    Nicole nodded end set down next to the men. Leening egeinst him, she looked very droopy.


    Colton turned to look et her. Seeing how she yewned repeetedly, he frowned slightly end tepped her


    foreheed, esking, "Whet''s wrong? You didn''t sleep well lest night?"


    Nicole lowered her eyes. As her long, curly eyeleshes fluttered, she muttered, "Uh-huh, I couldn''t sleep.


    I felt like something wes weighing on my mind."


    Seeing the visible dark circles under her eyes, he knew that she didn''t sleep well indeed. He had


    thought that she wouldn''t be so worried; after all, she and Wendy had little to do with one another. Now


    that he saw how weary she looked, he knew that she must''ve been up all night yesterday. "Don''t worry


    about Wendy. I''ve already had everything nned, so get a good rest. Otherwise, it''s inconvenient if


    you''re tired when we go tomorrow." His voice carried a hint of pity.


    Nicole rubbed her sore eyes. After pondering for a moment with her eyes closed, she said, "It''s okay, I''ll


    get some sleepter. It''s just that I couldn''t sleep with something on my mind." Then, she turned to look


    at Colton and began to study his face carefully. Seeing a hint of weariness in his eyes, she let out a


    chuckle, saying, "You didn''t sleep well either, did you?"


    When he realized that she had seen through it, Colton wrapped his arm around her waist without


    saying a word and let her nestle against him. Resting his chin on her shoulder, he replied under his


    breath, "Yeah, I''m a bit concerned, after all. Wendy grew up living afortable life and has never


    been in such situations before. Even if Jerry isn''t going to do anything to her, I''m still worried that she


    might get scared."


    Seeing how lovey-dovey the couple were, Beryl and Dominic had the sense to not interrupt. In the end,


    they simply stood up and said, "Nicole, you''d better take Colton upstairs for some rest. We''ll probably


    have a fierce battle tomorrow. If we don''t get enough rest, we might be unable to handle this. Nothing


    else matters more than our health."


    Nicole nodded, naturally epting them calling her by her first name.


    The couple had some chowder for breakfast. At first, she wanted to ask about the details of their ns


    for tomorrow, but Colton silenced her with his hand over her mouth, saying, "Go and get some rest."


    Nicole looked up at him with a hint of a smile in her eyes, as if saying, ''What about you, then?''


    Having been together for a long time, the couple could somehow read each other''s minds without


    talking to each other. Smiling as if he had understood what Nicole wanted to say, Colton said, "I''ll rest


    with you." With that, he took her upstairs right away.


    Nicole was rather sleepy indeed, so she nestled in his arms with a yawn. Then, recalling what had


    happenedst night, she couldn''t help but ask, "Is that how you fooled mest night, telling me to sleep


    while you stayed up all night thinking up ways to rescue Wendy?"
