Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1451 Choosing a Restaurant

Wendy glanced at her phone, shaking her head in apparent disgust at Beryl. "No, it can't be that quick."

Beryl merely nodded, choosing not to elaborate. His question was merely a diversion to distract Wendy. He didn't want her to fret over Colton and Nicole. They hadn't had a proper rest in days, and he worried Wendy couldn't handle it. So, he suggested to Colton that they should take a break since they had nothing urgent to attend to these days.

And that was how they ended up drinking.

With that in mind, Beryl cast a glance at Colton, who was fast asleep beside him. Sorry, dude, but you can suck it up for the sake of your little sister's health, right?

Wendy's eyes sparkled at the sight of a barbecue restaurant featuring local flavors. Back home, her parents would monitor her diet for health reasons.

Now, things were different. Her parents were no longer around to dictate her diet, and as for her brother…

Wendy's gaze shifted to Colton, sprawled on the bed. He certainly wouldn't bother with her dietary choices.

Alright, barbecue it is. Wendy nodded decisively.

Beryl considered persuading Wendy to opt for a healthier choice, but seeing her determined

expression, he acquiesced to her suggestion. He didn't want to risk having his words shoved back in his face by Wendy's strong opinions.

"Alright, I'll make the reservations now." Beryl finally nodded in response to Wendy's expectant gaze.

"Alright, I'll make the reservations now." Beryl finally nodded in response to Wendy's expectant gaze.

Well, since he had let the little princess choose what to eat, it was clear that no matter what she chose, it would be up to him to indulge her.

At that, Wendy nodded approvingly and took a gander at Colton before announcing, "In that case, I'll retire to my room."

Beryl had no objections, nodding in agreement to Wendy's departure.

…

Kendrick had already sensed something amiss from Darcy's behavior, but he was clueless about the conversation between Nicole and Darcy.

In his office, Kendrick sat amidst a pile of files, seemingly uninterested in dealing with company matters.

Darcy's reaction was too conspicuous. Even if he didn't want to entertain such thoughts, he couldn't convince himself otherwise.

What should he do? His adversary was Nicole.

Kendrick glanced at an email he had received that morning. It was about his involvement in organ trafficking being exposed, and the trail was leading back to him. However, he had yet to settle matters with Darcy.

He had to admit that Colton was incredibly fast.

Kendrick's expression darkened momentarily, but he soon came around. It didn't matter if it was Nicole; Colton's other love affairs likely drove her actions. Once he exposed Colton's true colors to Nicole, she would undoubtedly abandon Colton and choose him.

Once Kendrick had figured this out, he didn't hesitate to make a phone call. After a brief conversation, he ended the call.

This time, no one would escape, especially not Colton.

Kendrick looked at the information about Colton on his computer and plotted his next move.

Darcy hadn't socialized with anyone that day. She had locked herself at home as if secluding herself was the only way to clear her mind.

She tossed and turned restlessly, her gaze landing on a photo frame. It was a picture of her and Kendrick, taken when they first moved in together. She had placed it on the bedside table, brimming with joy.

Back then, she had envisioned a long, fulfilling life with Kendrick, perhaps even growing old together. But now, everything changed.

Darcy scoffed, finally flipping the photo face down on the bedside table. Out of sight, out of mind. She had made up her mind.
