The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 103

"The car accident happened that day because Mommy was so distracted with thoughts of you while she was driving," said Jay.

Compared to children his age, Jay was a bit more perceptive to his surroundings. He would immediately notice any changes in his mother's behavior. He used to think that Kerr would be able to take care of Nicole, that was why he wanted them together.

But now, he wasn't sure if that was a good idea anymore.

"I know. All of it is my fault. I promise you that this is only temporary. I will fix this as soon as I can. I want to make your mommy happy. I don't want her to get hurt, especially not by me."

Honestly, Kerr was surprised at what Jay had told him. The little boy was truly observant. If Jay hadn't admitted all those to Kerr, then he would never have known how much he meant to Nicole.

A pang of guilt went through him as he thought about the accident. It happened because of him.

"Really?"

Jay raised his head to look at him with the most optimistic expression in his eyes. Jay decided that he would give Kerr one more chance.

Kerr looked down so that he was eye to eye with the child. He gave him a firm nod.

"Well, I guess I can give you one more chance. Please don't hurt my mommy again. I have a feeling that you are my true father, although my mommy still won't admit it," Jay told Kerr softly as if he was telling him a secret.

"Is it because you hurt my mommy seven years ago? Is that why she doesn't want you to know about me?" Jay asked curiously.

He hoped that he could at least get some clarity from Kerr about his suspicions. He wanted confirmation.

"Wait, aren't you seven years old this year?"

Kerr didn't really think about it. In fact, Nicole mentioned that Jay was already seven years old so he didn't investigate further.

If Nicole was actually the girl from seven years ago and Jay was his biological son, then Jay should be six years old this year.

"I'm only six years old. Mommy didn't tell you the truth,"

Jay confessed. From the very beginning, Nicole lied about Jay's real age. So she really tried to hide Jay's identity from Kerr.

"I need to take you to get examined. It might be a little painful but you're going to need to endure it a little bit," Kerr suddenly told Jay.

When Kerr heard Jay's revelation, he couldn't believe it. He had mixed emotions in his heart, but mostly he just felt shocked.

It seemed that Nicole lied to Kerr several times already. She lied about Jay's age and even told him that Baron was Jay's father. She kept the truth from Kerr.

This was already proof that Jay's identity must have had something to do with him.

"Okay."

Jay stretched out his hand and put it around Kerr's arm. There was no fear in his eyes; instead, there was a trace of expectation.

Satisfied with the information that Jay shared with him, Kerr gently held the boy in his arms. He decided that he wouldn't take him to get a paternity test yet. He wanted to wait until Nicole woke up; he was still worried about her.

Besides, he could already feel his connection to the child just by having him in his arms. Even if it turned out that he wasn't the father, it didn't matter. He would not let Nicole go no matter what.

Outside the ward, Jared sat quietly on a bench in the corridor. He turned on his laptop and placed it on his lap so he could watch the bidding event. Although Kerr already made it clear that he didn't care much about the result of the event, he still wanted to keep an eye on it anyway because he knew it was important to them.

"What are you doing here?"
