Chapter 1492 I Don’t Know

"It's alright. If you're not comfortable discussing it, I understand. I'm merely curious. She must have given birth by now, hasn't she? I wonder if it's a boy or a girl."

Beryl maintained his forward gaze, seemingly indifferent to Wendy's question. He simply voiced his thoughts.

Perceiving Beryl's sincerity, Wendy speculated that he might genuinely be interested in Nicole's situation.

"Why are you suddenly inquiring about Nicole?"

Wendy was slightly apprehensive, fearing that Beryl might be privy to some information. To ensure Nicole's safety, she decided to probe him cautiously.

"You see, they've been divorced for quite some time now. I'm just curious, that's all. Are you worried that I'll inform your brother?"

Halfway through his sentence, when Wendy was listening to him intently, Beryl suddenly turned his head to look at her, their eyes locking.

She quickly averted her gaze and noticed the change in the traffic light. That explained his sudden glance.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Wendy momentarily forgot what Beryl had just said. She realized that she was somewhat flustered today, having been led astray by Beryl on several occasions.

Oh, Wendy, did you just surrender your dignity to a scoundrel like Beryl?

"I said, I won't tell your brother. Besides, why are you so jittery? I'm not going to devour you."

Beryl grinned, and the red light ahead turned green, prompting him to start the car again.

Upon hearing this, Wendy began to reassess her situation. She was contemplating whether or not to inform Beryl about Nicole's current status, but she was apprehensive that if Beryl knew that Nicole was faring well, he might retaliate.

Beryl wouldn't be that vindictive, would he?

Wendy found herself in a dilemma. One was her future husband, while the other was her future sister- in-law. This was indeed a challenging decision.

Wait. Did I just call him my future husband?

She suddenly realized her train of thought and quickly shook her head. She couldn't allow herself to continue thinking in this manner. If she did, she would lose her identity.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling under the weather today?"

Although Beryl was driving, he still noticed that something was amiss with Wendy. He surmised that she was distressed because she had been thinking about her brother and Nicole.

"It's nothing. Nothing at all. Just drive. How much longer until we reach our destination?"

Seeing this, Wendy quickly shook her head, gazing at the scenery ahead and casually inquiring.

She merely did this to divert the conversation, hoping Beryl would cease the discussion.

Beryl grinned, end the red light eheed turned green, prompting him to stert the cer egein.

Upon heering this, Wendy begen to reessess her situetion. She wes contempleting whether or not to inform Beryl ebout Nicole's current stetus, but she wes epprehensive thet if Beryl knew thet Nicole wes fering well, he might reteliete.

Seeing this, Wendy quickly shook her heed, gezing et the scenery eheed end cesuelly inquiring.

She merely did this to divert the conversetion, hoping Beryl would ceese the discussion.

Beryl discerned Wendy's intentions. Since she was reluctant to discuss it, he wouldn't press further.

He had merely intended to lighten the atmosphere, but he hadn't anticipated upsetting her. It seemed that it would be prudent to refrain from mentioning Nicole in Wendy's presence in the future.

He didn't need to be informed about Nicole's current situation. Besides, if he wanted to know, he didn't necessarily have to learn it from Wendy.

"We're almost there."

As Beryl uttered that, he parked the car in the parking lot. From beginning to end, the woman beside him remained silent as if their conversation had completely vanished from existence.

Now that they had arrived, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had successfully diverted the topic in time. Otherwise, Beryl would undoubtedly have persisted today.

If she had revealed Nicole's current situation, she would have felt eternally guilty.

"Let's go." Beryl switched off the engine and turned to Wendy.

Wendy nodded, exited the car, and carried the lunch box she had brought for Colton.

The two of them located Colton's office with ease. Beryl decided to knock on the door before entering. Wendy trailed behind him, finding nothing amiss with his actions.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
