The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 88 Go Home

The way Jay acted around Kerr when they arrived didn't escape Nicole's eyes. She noted that something must have happened while they were away.

When the little boy didn't reply, Nicole glanced at Kerr who stood beside her and said nothing.

After hanging up the phone, Jared rushed out of the villa. The moment he laid eyes on Kerr, he felt as if his savior had finally arrived.

"Mr. Gu, you are finally back!"

For the entire day, his phone rang non-stop. Jared not only had to handle the reporters outside, but he also had to stop Jay from leaving the villa.

But he couldn't disclose any of the information in front of Nicole. He had no choice but to look at Kerr perplexedly.

Looking at the bewildered look on the man's face, Kerr knew that something must have happened during his absence, even though he hadn't asked about it.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Jay, please tell Mommy, what happened? Didn't you always like Uncle Gu? Why are you so keen on going home now?"

Nicole squatted to Jay's eye level and looked at him seriously.

She knew that Jay was not an unreasonable child, so there must be an explanation behind his sudden change of heart.

"It's nothing. I just realized Mommy is right. We shouldn't disturb other people's life. Uncle Gu is very busy. We shouldn't waste his time."

He didn't tell the truth to Nicole because he didn't want her to get upset about what he found out. He had noticed that she was acting a little different towards Kerr.

Before Nicole spoke, the phone in Jay's hand rang. He answered it and put it to his ear.

"Okay, Uncle Fang, we'll be on our way out right now."

The little boy hung up the phone.

"Mommy, let's go. Uncle Fang has arrived."

Jay took his school bag from Vedder, and held his mother's hand, walking outside.

"Thank you, Grandpa, goodbye, I will miss you."

Jay said goodbye to Vedder politely, but ignored Kerr.

Jay led Nicole out of the villa. She felt embarrassed as she walked outside.

"Let me see you off."

Without stopping her, Kerr immediately followed them out.

He knew that something must have happened that made Jay angry at him, so he wanted to talk to the little boy after looking into it. Since the Gu family was more likely spying on Kerr now, it was not safe to keep Nicole with him.

Hearing Kerr's words, Nicole was slightly stunned, but she didn't argue. Instead, she just felt strange.

In the car, Baron looked at the two males standing beside Nicole, an adult and a child. He was shocked. When the three of them stood together, anyone would think that they were a perfect family.

But in his eyes, Kerr didn't deserve Nicole.

"Jay, Nicole."

He waved towards the two people he came for.

When she saw Baron show up, she intended to ask Kerr to drive them home. But her hand was tightly held by Jay's, and he didn't want to let go of her hand. The boy directly walked towards Baron's car.

She turned back to look at Kerr behind her with an embarrassed look. But Kerr looked at her gently and nodded to her as if he didn't mind her leaving.

So, Nicole had to lead Jay to get in Baron's car.

"It's so late, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

She looked at Baron apologetically. She was curious what brought on the sudden change in Jay's behavior. It was completely out of the ordinary.

"Don't be so formal with me. Oh, by the way, the bidding will be held very soon. You must be very busy. Don't think too much about other things. It's such a rare chance for me to compete with you since we graduated from university. Don't let me down." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Baron tried to shift Nicole's focus on work.

He noticed the change in the way Nicole looked at Kerr, and the loneliness on her face now couldn't be ignored.

"Of course, I know. You should work hard too."

With a faint smile, she turned her head and looked out of the window. She inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a black Porsche that had been following them. Her eyes sparkled in happiness, betraying her solemn appearance.

Perhaps she herself didn't notice the sudden leap of joy in her heart, but the two males in the car, Baron and Jay, had noticed it.

Sitting in the car and following her in a proper distance, Kerr dialed Jared's number.

"What happened?"

When he heard the CEO's voice, he couldn't think of exactly the right thing to say. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to tell the whole story to him.

"Mr. Gu, I will send the news to you. It has spread all over A City. I tried to take down the news as soon as I knew it, but it was clear that Lord Gu had a say in this matter.

Perhaps Lord Gu has given his consent, so I couldn't withdraw the news. Jay must have seen the news and misunderstood you, so he left. Vedder and I have tried hard to persuade him for a long time, but he was very stubborn."

Jared didn't know what to do with Jay.

"I see."

After ending the call, Kerr clicked on the message sent by his assistant, and some pictures were displayed clearly in front of him.

They were the pictures in which he and Sunny were standing at the gate of Gu family's old house last night. One of the pictures showed that Sunny was holding him from the back and another picture

showed that he was holding her shoulder. They looked like a lovely couple.

Kerr clenched the phone in his hand and his face was washed with anger.

He parked the car in front of Nicole's apartment. When Kerr saw that Jay took Nicole to their apartment and they went upstairs together, he wanted to wait for a bit to go and see Nicole. Baron, on the other hand, wanted to prevent that from happening.

Nicole glanced at Kerr's direction and said nothing. She took Jay directly into the elevator.

It was not until Nicole disappeared from his sight that Baron got out of the car and walked towards Kerr's car.

"Mr. Gu, let her go. She is just an ordinary girl. Your family has already arranged your marriage and decided who their daughter-in-law would be. Mr. Gu should know her personality well and she will never condescend to others.

What's more, I'm afraid that the Gu family may not be able to accept the existence of Jay and Nicole. I hope you won't bring any trouble to her."

Baron was being honest.

He knew that Kerr was a proud man, so if he threatened Kerr directly, he might not give up on Nicole easily. Only by reminding Kerr honestly could he realize the trouble he would bring to her. In that case, Kerr might let her go.
