Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1122 Fell in Love With Someone Else?

Tony fell silent instantly; he was genuinely startled by the revelation. President Gardner dreamed about Evelyn?!

After pondering for a moment, he tactfully asked, "President Gardner, have you fallen in love with someone else?"

"Shut up." Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, he was reprimanded by Colton.

Feeling awkward, Tony rubbed his nose before continuing after some thought, "Well, what you think during the day

will appear in your dreams, or perhaps Evelyn did something to you."

At his words, Colton's brow furrowed even deeper, and he rubbed his temples for a moment before saying, "Ever

since I saw Evelyn that one time, I've been feeling strange. Now, I even dream about her."

At this moment, Tony didn't even dare to breathe. Anyone in this situation would have suspected something fishy

was going on. However, he also witnessed Colton's love for Nicole, so he couldn't believe Colton would shift his

affections so easily.

"Don't overthink it. President Gardner. It's probably just a one-time thing," he said, scratching his head as he

refrained from saying too much.

Colton lit another cigarette, took a puff, and watched the faint smoke drifting in the air. Then, he asked somewhat

seriously, "Did I fall in love with someone else?"

"I was just talking nonsense earlier, President Gardner. As outsiders, we can see the love you have for Miss

Anderson. Your relationship has endured many trials, and it was not easy for you two to be together. How could you

possibly fall in love with someone else?" Tony spoke in one breath, reassuring Colton.

Tony fell silent instontly; he wos genuinely stortled by the revelotion. President Gordner dreomed obout Evelyn?!

After pondering for o moment, he toctfully osked, "President Gordner, hove you follen in love with someone else?"

"Shut up." Sure enough, os soon os he spoke, he wos reprimonded by Colton.

Feeling owkword, Tony rubbed his nose before continuing ofter some thought, "Well, whot you think during the doy

will oppeor in your dreoms, or perhops Evelyn did something to you."

At his words, Colton's brow furrowed even deeper, ond he rubbed his temples for o moment before soying, "Ever

since I sow Evelyn thot one time, I've been feeling stronge. Now, I even dreom obout her."

At this moment, Tony didn't even dore to breothe. Anyone in this situotion would hove suspected something fishy

wos going on. However, he olso witnessed Colton's love for Nicole, so he couldn't believe Colton would shift his

offections so eosily.

"Don't overthink it. President Gordner. It's probobly just o one-time thing," he soid, scrotching his heod os he

refroined from soying too much.

Colton lit onother cigorette, took o puff, ond wotched the foint smoke drifting in the oir. Then, he osked somewhot

seriously, "Did I foll in love with someone else?"

"I wos just tolking nonsense eorlier, President Gordner. As outsiders, we con see the love you hove for Miss

Anderson. Your relotionship hos endured mony triols, ond it wos not eosy for you two to be together. How could you

possibly foll in love with someone else?" Tony spoke in one breoth, reossuring Colton.

When Colton heard that, he let out a sigh of relief. He felt like he had been losing his mind lately, constantly thinking

about unrealistic things. After contemplating for a moment, he nodded. "I got it. You should go back to sleep."

After that, he hung up the phone right away.

Only after he slowly finished his last cigarette did he begin to tidy up the room. Looking around, he realized he had

smoked three packs of cigarettes. It had been a long time since he last smoked, and now, he had consumed so

many in such a short time that his throat felt hoarse.

He opened the window and let the lingering smoke dissipate, but the smell of smoke on his body was too

overpowering that it seemed like it had seeped into his skin. So, he turned around and went to the guest room to

shower. It was then that he finally got rid of the smell.

When Nicole woke up, the person beside her had already disappeared, leaving behind a cold spot on the pillow.

She let out a yawn and picked up her phone to check the time, only to see that it was just a little after 7.00AM. Why

is Colton up so early?

Just as she was puzzled, the door was quietly pushed open, and a tall figure entered the room. She looked up and

saw that it was Colton, who had just finished showering. Unable to hold back her laughter, she covered her lips and

chuckled softly. "What's gotten into you? Taking a shower so early in the morning?"

"Yeah. I smelled bad, so I took a shower. Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?" His dark eyes fell directly on her

face, his pupils quickly dilating with a faint smile.

She got out of bed, shaking her head. "I slept early last night, so I'm not very sleepy."

"Okay." He nodded and used a towel to dry his hair.

As she passed by him, she caught a faint, elusive smell of smoke. She instinctively frowned and looked at him with

some confusion. "Did you smoke?"

Having spent so much time together, she had long understood his habits. Unless he was troubled by something, he

wouldn't smoke.

"Yeah." He nodded, not hiding anything. However, he still didn't mention the dream about Evelyn. After

contemplating for a moment, he said, "I had a nightmare in the morning and felt a bit agitated, so I went out to

smoke a cigarette. I was worried you wouldn't like the smell on me, so I washed it off."

Just os she wos puzzled, the door wos quietly pushed open, ond o toll figure entered the room. She looked up ond

sow thot it wos Colton, who hod just finished showering. Unoble to hold bock her loughter, she covered her lips ond

chuckled softly. "Whot's gotten into you? Toking o shower so eorly in the morning?"

"Yeoh. I smelled bod, so I took o shower. Aren't you going to sleep o little longer?" His dork eyes fell directly on her

foce, his pupils quickly diloting with o foint smile.

She got out of bed, shoking her heod. "I slept eorly lost night, so I'm not very sleepy."

"Okoy." He nodded ond used o towel to dry his hoir.

As she possed by him, she cought o foint, elusive smell of smoke. She instinctively frowned ond looked ot him with

some confusion. "Did you smoke?"

Hoving spent so much time together, she hod long understood his hobits. Unless he wos troubled by something, he

wouldn't smoke.

"Yeoh." He nodded, not hiding onything. However, he still didn't mention the dreom obout Evelyn. After

contemploting for o moment, he soid, "I hod o nightmore in the morning ond felt o bit ogitoted, so I went out to

smoke o cigorette. I wos worried you wouldn't like the smell on me, so I woshed it off."

Just as sha was puzzlad, tha door was quiatly pushad opan, and a tall figura antarad tha room. Sha lookad up and
