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.

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."
