Chapter 1382 You’ve Changed
"Has it been busy at the research centertely? It seems like the reports have fewer details than they
did a couple of days ago." Nicole''s sudden question caught Chloe off guard.
The two of them walked along the dimly lit street on their way back home. As the pedestrians gradually
dwindled, only they remained, illuminated by faint lights.

Chloe stiffened at Nicole''s question. However, Chloe quickly realized her response and decided to
exin. "A bit. It''s a critical period. Did I not include all the details in the reports?"
She even threw a question back at Nicole.
Nicole couldn''t help but click her tongue. Chloe was too clever for her own good; there was no way to
trick her into saying anything.
Sighing silently, Nicolemented the fact that she had no choice but to continue training Chloe since
she had started in the first ce.
"I think they were included, but I''ve forgotten. Your mentioning it just now helped jog my memory a bit."
Nicole coughed lightly, pretending to respond seriously.
Suppressing a smile, Chloe continued their unspoken agreement not to reveal each other''s secrets. It
was a shared understanding between the two.
However, Chloe had no intention of telling Nicole about the man. He was too mysterious, and he knew
so much about Nicole and Colton. His origins needed to be investigated. Her face turned serious when
she thought of this.
With her attention focused on the way home, Nicole didn''t want to continue dwelling on Chloe''ste
return. If Chloe wanted to tell her, Nicole believed she would do so without her having to repeatedly
inquire.
Thus, the two returned home, each with their own secrets.
"Nicole, you should drink more warm water. You must be freezing. You should also take a shower. By
the way, tomorrow is my day off."
As soon as they arrived home, Chloe''s mouth started running.
Nicole suddenly questioned her earlier impression of Chloe. She had always thought of Chloe as
someone quiet and efficient, but now...
She watched Chloe bustling around, her skepticism growing. Was this really the Chloe she knew?
Chloe seemed even more cheerful than when they first met.
"Nicole, why are you looking at me like that?" Chloe was puzzled as she approached Nicole with a cup
of warm water, noticing that Nicole''s expression seemed off.
Is it really so easy for my inner thoughts to be exposed? Has Nicole already picked up on some clues?
Chloe ced the cup of warm water in front of Nicole, still waiting for her answer. But Nicole didn''t reply
immediately; she simply stared at Chloe. This made Chloe feel uneasy.
"Chloe, have you noticed that you''ve changed a lot recently?" Nicole was nonchnt as she asked.
She held the cup of water and took a sip. Almost scalding herself, she then ced it on the table.
Chloe''s movements momentarily halted. She stared at Nicole, confused. What has changed? I''m not
aware of any changes. Has Nicole misunderstood something?
"What do you mean?"
"You used to be quiet, but now you''re so talkative like an old woman."
Nicole spoke with such sincerity that Chloe was taken aback. She didn''t know how Nicole managed to
say it with such a straight face, but she also had no idea how to respond to this.
"Nicole, is it possible that it''s because you''re pregnant and I''m just more worried about you?" Chloe
sighed and spoke. She didn''t want to continue being stared at with that intense gaze from Nicole.
Hearing this, Nicole flushed, and she stammered for a moment before failing to say anything. She
picked up the cup, returning to her room at a sluggish pace.
Chloe watched her clumsy figure, her heart feeling a mix of sympathy and amusement. Pregnancy was
quite a challenging experience, and it was normal for her to worry about Nicole.
