Chapter 1386 Wendy’s Wariness
Wendy paced back and forth in her room. When she saw that her phone was silent, she felt fairly anxious. She had
the urge to barge into Colton's room a few times, but she managed to keep her wits about her.
She should not go over at that moment because she could see that the person her brother needed was Beryl, not
her.
While she was still worrying, she noticed movements on her phone. She hastily unlocked her phone and saw that it
was a reply from Beryl, opening it in elation.
'Come out.'
Huh.
She rolled her eyes silently, then reluctantly opened the door. Soon, she saw Beryl's accursed face. "I asked you a
question, but you made me come out here in the middle of the night instead of answering?" she questioned in

though she knew the room was soundproof.
Beryl turned up the corners of his mouth ever so slightly as he looked at Wendy with a half-smile. "I'm bringing you
out for some food, and I'll also tell you about your brother. Are you coming?"
He was worried that she could not sleep because of her anxiety. That was why he wanted to bring her out for some
good food. It might help her relieve her emotions.
"Well, since you so kindly offered, it would be rude for me to decline." A look of pleased surprise flashed across
Wendy's face. However, it was so quick that no one noticed it. She pretended to look conflicted when she replied.
Beryl smiled. Choosing not to expose her, he stood at the door and waited.
She quickly got ready, not daring to let him wait too long. If she did, he would start nagging her again.
"Let's go." She patted him on the shoulder. Before he could turn around to look at her, she jogged up to the
elevator. He shook his head in exasperation, then followed her in strides.
The night was silent and desolate.
"Your brother isn't in a good mood today. He's blaming himself."
When Beryl saw Wendy hesitating to speak, he smiled lightly, then started talking about Colton. Hearing that, she
immediately perked up her ears to listen.
"It's because of Nicole. He originally thought she was at her happiest when she was with him, but unexpectedly,
when he went to see her today, she looked even happier without him."
At that, he seemed deep in thought, but it also looked like he was giving Wendy time to let it sink in. After a pause,
he continued. "So, he's blaming himself. When Nicole was with him, she was involved in various plots every day.
Perhaps Zachary could give her a better life."
He did not say a word of his guesses. After all, they were merely assumptions, so they could not count.
"There's also a possibility that… Never mind. I don't have a say in their business." Wendy, who was about to say
something, suddenly realized that if she did, Beryl would notice something. She had to stop herself from talking so

He looked at her in surprise, not expecting such a reply. Generally speaking, Wendy would have lots to say about
Nicole, but now, she refused to say more. Did she think things through, or was there another reason?
He did not know the answer to that, but his sixth sense told him that Wendy's attitude toward this matter was
peculiar.
"Well, what would you like to eat?" He sensibly changed the topic.
She looked around them, where most shops were already closed. She said, a little disappointed, "Why don't we just
give up for now? All the good restaurants have already closed for the day. We can eat out together during the day."
She had just finished speaking when she felt something off about it. Hence, she quickly changed her tone. "I mean,
you can make it up to me during the day. You owe me one now."
She walked in front while Beryl followed silently behind. He listened to her words, a faint smile blooming on his lips.
"Sure, as you please."
He and Colton had pampered this young lady ever since she was a child. Although he would tease her sometimes,
he would stand up for her when necessary.
"It's a promise," she said mischievously.
