Chapter 760
At that moment, Colton felt dumbstruck when he heard Nicole's words. Disbelief flashed across his eyes, and he
stared at her coldly. After some time, he said slowly, "Impossible!"
"Why not?" Nicole smiled and tilted her head, looking at him as she spoke. "Don't be so full of yourself, President
Gardner."
Listening to her words, Colton felt fury rise inside of him. He held back his anger and said in a low voice, "I'm the
one you love, Nicole."
At that moment, Nicole chuckled lightly. She then raised her head and looked at him with a bright smile. "Don't
over-romanticize yourself, President Gardner. Think about it—things wouldn't work out between us. If you were to
give up the entire Gardner Family just to be with me, what good would I get out of this? Zachary is the heir of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYates Family, has loved me for five years, and treats me well. Thus, why should I pick you instead of him?"
Listening to Nicole's harsh words, Colton gripped his knuckles and squinted his eyes. "This isn't funny, Nicole! Don't
try to anger me with this lowly joke of yours!" he said coldly.
A faint smile appeared on Nicole's lips, and she looked calmly at Colton. "A joke? Why would I joke about something
like this? If you don't believe me, why don't you attend our engagement party a month later?"
Colton stared at her face intensely, trying to see if she was lying. However, Nicole looked calm, and it seemed as
though she was telling the truth.
At that moment, Colton felt his blood boil. He pursed his lips, pulled her hands, and asked her in a low voice again,
"Say it again, Nicole. Whom are you engaged to?"
"I'm engaged to Zachary. Are you deaf, President Gardner? I'll give you an invitation when the time comes—"
Before Nicole could finish her words, Colton leaned in and pressed his lips against hers forcefully.
Nicole was being pushed up to a tree trunk and could feel Colton's intensity, which made it hard for her to breathe.
Then, she pushed Colton's chest while trying to say something, but Colton took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.
Nicole couldn't do anything except endure the kiss with a flushed face. After some time, their lips finally parted.
At that moment, she lowered her head and breathed heavily. When her breath was even, she raised her head and
smirked coldly at Colton. "When did the president of the Gardner Corporation have to use such an underhanded
trick? I don't love you, and Zachary is the one I love. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"
At that moment, Colton looked at her calmly. "What about Hayden?" he asked faintly.
"I won't stop you from visiting him."
Upon listening to her words, Colton smiled brightly. At that moment, Nicole couldn't understand his reaction and
wondered what he was about to do.
After some time, Colton stopped smiling and put his hand on Nicole's shoulder. Then, he said with a raspy voice,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hayden is my son, so do you think I will let him call another man his father?"
Listening to his words, Nicole realized that he was talking about Zachary. Initially, she was just trying to make up an
excuse to stop Colton from coming, but she never expected that he would use this against her.
Just as she was about to say something, Colton cut her off.
"Since you have someone else, I guess Hayden will be a burden to you. Thus, I'm going to raise Hayden from now
on."
When Nicole heard his words, her body stiffened. After all, Hayden was her everything, and there was no way she
would let him go. Thinking about it, she looked at him seriously and said, "I raised Hayden by myself, and he can't
leave me!"
"You're going to marry another man, and I don’t know whether he will treat Hayden well. Hence, the best way is to
let me raise him. I can guarantee that I'll never get married, and Hayden will be the only heir to the Gardner
Family!" Colton squinted his eyes and smiled.
