Chapter 1385 Self-ming Colton


    Colton suddenly had the urge to ask Nicole who the child belonged to. He remembered her helpless


    gaze at the hospital back then. When he mistreated her, she wanted to say something to stand up for


    herself, but he denied her. Frankly, he had never given her a chance to talk.


    Hence, he went to look for Nicole. He did not expect she would be absent from the research center, so


    he strolled around. Then, his mind filled with the image of her and Chloe encountering each other and


    the looks on their faces back then.


    At first, the two seemed to be discussing something serious, their expressions rather tense. Later on,


    Chloe seemed to have mentioned the child, and Nicole looked at her belly with a gentle gaze.


    He would never forget that look in her eyes.


    Colton smiled silently, but his smile was extremely forced and terrible to look at. When Beryl saw him


    like that, he knew nothing good hade out of his visit to Nicole. Thus, he said nothing as he sat


    quietly next to Colton.


    By the looks of it, the night would be a sleepless one.


    "I always thought that both of us suffered greatly in the rtionship."


    Suddenly, Colton spoke up, his tone hoarse. Beryl pursed his lips tightly, and instead of speaking, he


    waited silently for his next words.


    "That''s what I always thought, but the scene I witnessed today tells another story. Nicole was happy;


    she was happy without me. It''s like she didn''t care what happened as long as she had the child." At


    that, he held his head and slowly looked down. A momentter, his body began to tremble as if he were


    holding something back.


    Beryl stared at Colton, not knowing what he could say tofort him. He knew that no matter what he


    said, he would not be able to improve Colton''s current emotions. The only person he ever


    acknowledged was Nicole.


    "Am I selfish? I wasn''t happy at all when I saw her living her life. I was sad. Another man had given her


    a happy life, but I could only offer her a life of wandering and vicious plots." Colton seemed to have had


    enough of crying. He slowly straightened his body as he looked out the window in a daze.


    Indeed, he was a selfish person, always had been.


    When Beryl heard that, he widened his eyes. It was only then that he realized the person Colton


    med all along was not Nicole but himself. He did not care about her ''aborting'' the child or how


    ''intimate'' she was with Zachary. Instead, he continuously med himself.


    "Colton, our objective right now is to bring Ryan to justice and stop Kendrick from harming the Gardner


    Family, right? Don''t get too absorbed in love and women." Beryl was exasperated, but the words that


    came out of his mouth were the most vicious to be spoken.


    Still, he was right. Thepany and the organization both needed Colton. If they lost him, they would


    not maintain stability for a while.


    Colton said nothing, his body stiff.


    Beryl could not see his expression but knew the other had no intention of continuing the topic. He knew


    then that Colton had heard and understood what he said. After a night''s sleep, he believed he could


    see Colton devoting his whole heart to work tomorrow.


    Beryl felt a little tired from sitting. He stood up, patted the clothes on his body, then turned around and


    left. Given some time to calm down, the workaholic he knew would be back in action tomorrow.


    Then, he returned to his room and noticed that his phone had been ringing. He frowned and picked up


    his phone. When he saw the contact on the screen, he navigated to the chat with a loving look.


    ''Ask around and find out why my brother drank so much. Tell me the results.''


    ''Why aren''t you replying to my messages?''


    ''Never mind. Justfort my brother as best you can.''
