Chapter 1404 New Clues


    Chloe spoke intermittently, and Nicole didn''t interrupt, listening attentively. Chloe''s concerns were not


    unfounded, but…


    "Chloe, don''t fret. Roxanna won''t misconstrue your intentions, but it''s natural to feel distressed." Nicole


    gently patted Chloe''s shoulder, her voice soft andforting.


    Chloe nodded, resolved toy everything bare to Roxanna once the truth emerged. However, she


    harbored doubts about Isaac''s suitability for Roxanna. She feared that one day, Roxanna might remain


    oblivious even after being deceived by Isaac.


    "Get some rest—"


    Nicole''s words were cut short as she was suddenly seized by a wave of nausea. Sensing she was


    about to vomit, she hastily dashed to the bathroom.


    Two hours of respite seemed to be her limit. She was suddenly grateful that she hadn''t suffered from


    morning sickness during the earlier meeting. That would have been mortifying.


    "Nicole!"


    Chloe, noticing Nicole''s morning sickness, quickly followed her, arriving just in time to see Nicole


    hunched over the toilet, retching.


    She frowned slightly. Had Nicole been enduring this every night? Why hadn''t I noticed it?!


    After a bout of retching and vomiting, Nicole finally felt somewhat better. She rose, panting, and met


    Chloe''s worried gaze.


    "It''s alright, Chloe." She smiled faintly, trying to reassure Chloe.


    "Even now, you''re still trying tofort me. Have you been suffering through this alone all these days?"


    Chloe asked, her voiceced with worry. Despite being preupied and exhausted from work, she had


    shallow sleep, so she should have been able to hear Nicole under normal circumstances. However,


    she had never been roused.


    If that was the case, it meant that Nicole had been trying not to disturb her, even when she was feeling


    unwell.


    Reflecting on this, Chloe felt even more distressed.


    Nicole saw the concern etched in Chloe''s eyes. She knew that her actions would upset Chloe if she


    discovered them, but she couldn''t disrupt Chloe''s sleep every night.


    "Alright, let''s get some rest. I''m a bit weary now."


    Nicole took Chloe''s hand and used it to help herself up. She then quietly returned to her room and


    closed the door.


    She would find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart with Chloe the next day. Chloe was too


    sensitive, and if this continued, it would burden her.


    She wouldn''t allow that to happen. As for Roxanna…


    Nicole''s eyes darkened. She had to devise a n to keep Roxanna and Isaac apart.


    Meanwhile, at the top floor of the hotel…


    "Ah, Colton, let me go out and have some fun. I''ve been cooped up in this hotel for several days, and


    I''m feeling stifled!" Wendy threw a tantrum in Colton''s room, hoping he would relent and let her go out


    and y.


    If Colton often ventured out, that would be tolerable. However, the reality was that he rarely left the


    hotel, spending his days glued to hisputer. The few times he did go out, he never took her along,


    no matter how much she pleaded.


    Things had deviated from their initial agreement, and she found it hard to ept.


    Beryl, who was staying next door, went out every single day, while Wendy didn''t even get to enjoy the


    nned barbecue.


    She sighed softly, feeling like a captive in this room, and stole a nce at Colton, realizing that he was


    completely absorbed in his work, with no attention to spare for her.


    Frustrated, Wendy pouted and looked at the room''s decor, secretly admiring her brother''s ability to stay


    indoors in such a boring ce.


    "Colton." Beryl walked in with a room card, having obtained one from the front desk to avoid bothering


    Colton every time he had to let him in.

    "How''s it going?"


    Colton asked without looking up, his hands busy typing away on theputer keyboard.
