Right Person, Wrong Time Chapter 1413

Chapter 1413 Unexpected Meeting

Darcy was suddenly struck by the abruptness of it all, making things seem rather surreal. Regardless, after she

heard her friends' words, she decided to take the rumors she heard at face value. Thus, she didn't bother delving

too deeply into the implications behind their grumblings. Instead, she chose to accept Kendrick's statements as

truth.

"You're right. I'm overthinking matters again. Silly me!" Darcy acknowledged her tendency to overanalyze the

situation as she nodded in agreement.

As a result, the initial lighthearted joy returned to their gathering.

Now that Nicole was certain that the conversation between Darcy and her band of misfits held no interest for her,

she figured that it was time to go. Nonetheless, she didn't expect to bump into Wendy.

The four of them tacitly remained silent until they were out of the restaurant, assured that no one would be able to

eavesdrop on their conversation. Then, the four divided into pairs as they turned to face one another.

"Nicole! I can't believe that you're also having a meal here! Oh, we could have shared a meal if I had known that

you were coming here as well," Wendy expressed her sincere regret of being unable to have a good time with

Nicole. As she thought about the nonsense she had heard earlier, she couldn't help feeling frustrated that her

perfectly good day had been ruined because of those harpies.

"Nicole, you heard what they were saying about you, didn't you? I wanted to defend you, but this guy here kept

holding me back," she said, casting a sidelong glance at Beryl. Now that she thought about it, she regretted ever

restraining her temper.

Nicole gently patted Wendy's head as she replied, "It's fine. What they do with their time is none of our business.

Besides, we can't reveal our true colors just yet."

Meanwhile, Beryl studied Nicole thoughtfully. She was not the woman he had envisioned; she was even better.

"Oh, alright. Nicole, where are you headed now? How's the baby? You need to take good care of yourself. You can't

risk your health. You know that, don't you?" Perhaps due to not having seen Nicole for quite a while, Wendy was

now chattering away incessantly.

"I'm fine. Don't you worry now. Don't you trust my medical knowledge?" Nicole responded with a smile, patting

Wendy's head again as she spoke in a soothing tone. It was as if she was pacifying a child.

On the other hand, Chloe's gaze had never wavered on Beryl's face from the moment they stumbled upon one

another. It seemed that he hadn't been lying; he was indeed Colton's close friend.

If he wasn't Colton's trusted friend, how could the man possibly allow Wendy to venture out alone with Beryl under

such circumstances?

"It's been a while, Miss Yelton," greeted Beryl. He had naturally Chloe's gaze on him.



Her expression shifted slightly. However, she didn't respond verbally, merely nodding in acknowledgment.

Alas, when Wendy saw Chloe's reaction, she rashly assumed that Beryl had somehow wronged her sister-in-law's

friend. So, she immediately chastised him, "Why do you have to be so antagonistic? I'm telling you right now that

you can return to the country if you upset Nicole's friends again." Her fiery yet adorable demeanor left him taken

aback. Thus, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

He was clueless as to how he had wronged Chloe. It was true that their previous interactions had been somewhat

strained, but he was genuinely unsure how Wendy had misinterpreted their reactions toward one another so

terribly.

Fortunately, when Chloe heard the term 'antagonistic' being tossed about, she quickly clarified, "No, it was just a

minor misunderstanding."

Wendy smiled at Chloe, patiently waiting for her to finish before turning to Beryl with a suspicious look in her eyes.

"Really?"

He shrugged helplessly as he complained, "You and I know you won't believe me regardless of what I say. Anyway,

we've already had our fill, so it's time to head back. If we don't leave now, your brother will start hounding me

about your whereabouts."

Even though Colton had consented to him taking Wendy out the previous day, Colton had also set a curfew. It was

already getting rather late, and they hadn't even begun their journey back yet. He could already imagine Colton

giving him the cold shoulder if he brought Wendy home even a minute late.

"Fine. Nicole, Chloe, I'm heading out," Wendy pouted, appearing somewhat discontent. Still. she obediently bid her

goodbyes to Nicole and Chloe before turning around and following Beryl.

Although the two had the bearings of an aristocrat, the pair never ceased teasing one another as they departed.
