Chapter 495 Dinner Time
Since Wendy was still young, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life should Queenie suffer a miscarriage due to
her actions. Not to mention, Nicole had clearly seen her sister having the opportunity to stabilize herself, yet she
only allowed herself to fall. That only served as an indication that Queenie wanted to use Wendy to get rid of the
child in her.
After Queenie was stable on her feet, her expression grew twisted as she thought, Why am I running into Nicole
everywhere I go?! However, she quickly wore a stiff smile to prevent others from reading her thoughts. “Nicole, I
should thank you. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable from that fall.”
Without looking at her sister, Nicole said, “Since you’re still in the early stages of your pregnancy, you clearly could

Afraid of her thoughts being exposed, Queenie hurriedly explained, “I just never thought that Wendy would push me
so abruptly, so I was a little surprised there and couldn’t react in time. That’s why things turned out like this.”
Nicole couldn’t be bothered any longer, so she only said with her lips pursed, “Now that you’re in shock, you should
go home and have some proper rest for the baby. Since Wendy doesn’t like you, you won’t benefit from your trip
here. You should use this time to recuperate instead.”
With a slight frown, Queenie looked at Nicole and said, “I’m now the young madam of the Gardner Family. Nicole, I
don’t think you should talk to me in such a tone as an outsider.”
However, Nicole continued to ignore her as she went and picked Hayden up before she looked at Wendy. “Wendy,
let’s go upstairs. Otherwise, you’ll be held responsible in case you knock somebody over.”
At the moment, Wendy was still in shock over her realization. It was only after she heard Nicole calling out to her
did she come back to her senses. With a gradual nod, she replied, “Alright.”
Looking at the three people who didn’t seem to show her the respect she expected, a surge of anger rose in
Queenie. Nonetheless, she couldn’t do anything but grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
In the end, she continued to stay in the Gardner Residence without going home. The bodyguards of the Gardner
Family were afraid of chasing her away since the baby in her was said to be of Colton’s blood.
It wasn’t until they came downstairs during dinner time that they realized Queenie was still around.
With hints of disgust flashing briefly in her eyes, Wendy glared viciously at Queenie and said without courtesy,
“Some people are just so thick-skinned.
They still shamelessly hang around even when they know they aren’t welcome here.” Since she was still young, she
still hadn’t learned to keep her emotions in check, so her expressions would always be true to her thoughts.
Paying no care about the comment thrown at her, Queenie only held her hand on her belly and said, “I have been
feeling uneasy since I was a little frightened just now, so I took a rest here for a while.”
With a smile, she then looked over to the kitchen to find that dinner was ready and went over without any sense of
courtesy. “Just as I was hungry. Let’s eat together.”

Wendy rolled her eyes and immediately left. On the other hand, Nicole stayed with Hayden and picked the seat
furthest from her sister.
Since both Benedict and Anna were still recovering from their injuries, there were some restrictions on their diet, so
their meal was specifically made to their requirements and sent over to their room.
And so, there were only three people at the dining table—Queenie, Nicole, and Hayden. Although the dishes served
weren’t much, each one of them looked exquisite and tasted delicious.
While putting some of the food on Hayden’s plate, Nicole said, “Hurry up and eat. Once you’re done eating, go and
spend some time with Great Grandpa.”
Hayden agreed and immediately started eating.
Continuing to be discourteous, Queenie ate while taking a glance around. Then, she asked, “Where’s Colton? Why
isn’t he back yet?”
However, Nicole ignored her sister’s question and pretended not to have heard Queenie as she continued to put
food on Hayden’s plate. And Hayden ate his food diligently.
Looking at how the two of them were ignoring her, Queenie became irritated. Her tone turned heavy as she said,
“Nicole, I’m talking to you!”
