Chapter 859

Nicole was well-versed in Hayden's demeanor, so she did not miss a beat and inquired, "Hayden, is there something

you want to talk to me about?" Following that, she put down her cutlery and shifted her gaze to the boy.

However, he shook his head in reply. "Nope." After saying that, he lowered his head and began to eat silently.

Nonetheless, she felt there was something seriously wrong with her son. So, she frowned slightly, but she knew she

shouldn't press the issue any further since he clearly had no interest in telling. In the end, she did not utter a single

word.

Following the meal, Nicole cleaned the table while Hayden returned to his room.

Nicole scratched her chin and noticed that her son's behavior was off. Therefore, she looked for Zachary and asked

him, "Do you think Hayden is acting strangely today?"

He chuckled and set down the magazine. Before responding to her, he lowered his eyes and pondered. "It's

probably due to the buzz on the Internet."

The buzz on the Internet? Nicole was suspicious. What could have happened online for Hayden to be upset? After

hearing that, she pulled out her phone and searched for it. Even though the news had already been suppressed,

she could still find the reason for her son's mood.

Relationship'

'Colton Gardner and Evelyn Wrenn'

There were as many truths as there were lies about them on the Internet, but it all boiled down to one thing—

Colton and Evelyn's relationship had been exposed.

Evelyn was the first person who came to Nicole's mind as the perpetrator of these rumors.

After all, her affection for Colton has developed into an obsession, and she can likely do anything to win him over

exclusively for herself. Nonetheless, such plotting is too risky. If he does not marry her, her name will be dragged

through the mud, and it is implausible that she will marry into a respectable family. Anyway, she will go to any

length to be with him.

After giving it some thought, Nicole's expression darkened. She finally comprehended why Hayden was not acting

like himself that day. Her son, who had always been an Internet enthusiast, must feel depressed after reading that

news.

Then, she let out a small sigh and mused, Even if Colton isn't with Evelyn, I can't possibly be with him.

She knew that her son liked Colton, and he wanted their family of three to reunite. However, it was a glaring fact

that she and Colton could never be together.

There was a sudden change in her expression, and Nicole tapped twice unconsciously on the screen. She

proceeded to scroll down the page based on the keyword she had searched for, and it wasn't long before she came

across some latest news.

She had met Evelyn before, and it seemed inconceivable to her that someone as domineering as Evelyn would try

to end her life over such a trivial matter.

There is only one plausible explanation for her actions, and she intends to manipulate public opinion to coerce

Colton into marrying her. That was the only explanation that made sense to Nicole.

Since this article has gotten so much attention, its importance has been deliberately minimized. Otherwise, this

would have been the bigger story following the story about Colton and Evelyn's relationship. It is not too difficult to

put all the pieces together. Evelyn has drugged Colton and plans to perform the deed on him. Unfortunately, it all

escalated before they could seal the deal. The opportunity she missed out on by not having anything happen

between her and Colton led her to make the decision to attempt to take her own life.

That was the worst-case scenario that Nicole could imagine happening, and she knew the truth would come out

very soon.

After that, Nicole kept her phone and gave it some more thought before eventually putting it out of her mind.

Everything related to Colton has nothing to do with me anymore. I don't want to bother myself with him anyway.

After he saw her put the phone down, Zachary warmly coaxed, "Colton is Hayden's father, after all. It's only normal

for the boy to be disheartened. Why don't you comfort him for a bit, hmm?"
