Chapter 1073 Approval From Benedict


    After saying that, Colton felt Nicole''s belly with his hand, and a different light danced in his eyes.


    Inching closer to her, he said in a deep, affectionate voice, "Nicole, when are you giving me a


    daughter?"


    All of a sudden, Nicole''s face turned bright red. Her fair skin immediately turned scarlet, and she looked


    like an overripe tomato. Reaching out, she removed his palm, rolled out of the bed, and croaked, "Stop


    fooling around. I''m going to check on Hayden." After saying that, she quickly scurried away.


    It felt a little odd to him that his arms were now empty after feeling the warmth from earlier, and he


    smirked without another word while watching Nicole, who was already in the bathroom.


    In the next three days, they were almost inseparable. Colton basked himself in herpany and


    almost didn''t show up at the office, only using theputer for a few online conferences asionally.


    Seeing how bored he was, Nicole couldn''t help but ask, "Is it okay for you to be away from the


    company for such a long time?" Including the time he was abroad, it had been about two weeks since


    shest saw him going to thepany.


    Looking into her eyes, he grinned and asked, "Why? Are you afraid that I''ll be bankrupt and can''t


    afford to support you two?"


    Raising her brows, Nicole held his chin and said in amusement, "I''m rich. If you really be


    bankrupt, you can count on me and I''ll promise you afortable life."


    Colton knew that this woman wasn''t kidding. Previously, he already checked and found out that she


    had gathered quite a few assets over the years and was almost at par with him. Looks like she has a


    high earning power, he thought. "Okay, I would like to rely on my wife for support, then," he said in a


    flirtatious tone without any shame, approaching her.


    While they were flirting with each other, someone cleared his throat behind them. Like a startled rabbit,


    Nicole jumped out of Colton''s arms and they turned their heads to find Benedict behind them.


    After that operation, Benedict''s health improved greatly, and even though he still needed a walking stick


    to move around, he seemed more energetic and full of life. Narrowing his eyes, he said solemnly, "Get


    a room if you want to make out during the day."


    Seeing how serious Benedict was, Colton answered with a straight face, "I got it, Grandpa. We''re going


    into our room now."


    Benedict threw him an annoyed re and turned to Nicole. An odd look shed in his eyes, and after a


    while, he began slowly, "Nicole, there''s something I would like to tell you. Are you… free?" He was


    cautious, as though he was worried that she would turn him down.


    Nicole knew that he was still worried about what happened in the past, and it was undeniable that


    things were quite bad after what happened with William. Smiling, she nodded. "Okay."


    Standing in the same spot, Colton didn''t stop her and watched as she walked away with Benedict into


    the courtyard. Although it was a little chilly today, there was some sun in the morning and it didn''t feel


    that cold to be outside in just a long-sleeved top.

    Next to Benedict, Nicole lowered her head quietly and stood there obediently. After some time, he


    slowly said, "Nicole, your wedding is drawing close, but I have nothing for you." As he spoke, he took


    out a red leather box from his pocket. Shoving it into her hands, he continued, "This is something from


    the Gardner Family. Take it and use it."


    Looking at the box in her hand, she opened it a little and saw that a red gemstone the size of a pigeon


    egg was resting inside.
