Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 59

When Nicole returned home, she saw Hayden playing on his laptop on the couch.

When Hayden saw her, he immediatelyjumped off the couch. His bare feet pattered as he ran over to her. "Mommy!" he called out sweetly.

"Hey there, sweetheart." Nicole grinned as she picked her son up. Her gaze fell upon the laptop stand on the couch, and she couldn't stop herself from laughing. "Did you spend the whole day on your laptop while I was gone?"

"Hey, I only just started gaming when you came back," Hayden whined as he buried his head in her embrace. Although she wasn't sure whether he was telling the truth, Nicole's heart melted when she heard his cute voice.

After Hayden finished playing coy, he looked up at Nicole. "Mommy, it's still working time. Why are you back?" he asked, curious.

Nicole didn't want her son to worry, so she simply told him she was worried about leaving him alone at home.

Hayden could guess that something was up when he saw the forced smile on Nicole's face. His black eyes darkened, but when he looked at her again, his expression had reverted to an innocent smile. "It's not my first time being home alone. You don't have to worry about me, Mommy," he soothed.

The mother and son continued to banter for a little while. As she looked at her son's innocent face, Nicole became even more determined. I must not let Joseph get his way!

The next morning, Nicole prepared to begin working after she arrived at her office. A few moments after she sat down, however, Queenie suddenly barged into her office. A red-faced Scarlett trailed after her. Scarlett's expression had a hint of anxiety in it. Upon seeing Nicole, she lowered her head. "I couldn't stop her, Miss Nicole," she said regretfully.

Meanwhile, Queenie looked at Scarlett in disgruntlement. She narrowed her eyes and scoffed at her. "I'm Colton's fiancee, the future wife of the head of Gardner Corporation. This is just a regular workplace. Why can't I enter?"

Seeing Queenie's tyrannical attitude, Nicole knew that Scarlett would never be able to stop her. She waved a hand to tell Scarlett that it was all right. "It's

okay. You may leave."

Queenie initially wanted to fire back with a snide remark after hearing Nicole's reply, but she held herself back when she remembered her plan. She let out a sigh. "If you attend the party, my mother will help you to clear your mother's name of her affair over ten years ago."

At last, a ripple marred Nicole's calm expression when she heard that. She lifted her head to stare at Queenie, fury evident in her bright eyes. Her mother was clearly innocent, but she was forced to bear the accusation of being an adulterer due to Lydia's lies.

"Your condition?" Nicole retorted. She didn't trust Queenie to tell herthis out of pure kindness.

Seeing how Nicole finally took interest in her invitation, Queenie's expression turned into a pleased one. "Firstly, come to Dad's birthday party. Secondly, you will not meet with Colton anymore after the collaboration is over!"

Nicole looked down as she mulled things over. When she looked up again, her eyes were back to their calm appearance. "Deal," she said softly.
