The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 107

Nicole believed that a proud man like Kerr would never bear to be neglected again and again.

She picked up her phone and called Avery. The line was still ringing when the door swung open.

"Director Ning, Miss Lin asked me to tell you that she had something to deal with and left. She will come to see you tomorrow."

Jared walked into the room with a food container in his hand.

Nicole put the phone down and stared at Kerr.

Avery would not just disappear on her like that unless somebody bribed her to do so, and Kerr was the only person inclined to do such a thing at the moment. Now it would seem that if Nicole decided to leave, Kerr would get a lot of people to come over and persuade her to stay.

"Mommy, these are all your favorite dishes."

Jay watched as Jared laid out the exquisite dishes on the table. Jay's eyes lit up with delight and awe as if he had just found a new continent.

In this way, he was putting in a good word for Kerr.

"Who told you these are my favorite dishes? How can I eat something greasy since I have a stomachache now?" Nicole said stubbornly.

She looked at the dishes on the table with surprise in her eyes. She would not admit that Kerr had helped her, but her body was more honest than her words.

She could not help swallowing, and she then turned around, setting her gaze away from the food on the table.

"Director Ning, Mr. Gu knows that your stomach is currently upset, so he especially ordered this stomach-nourishing soup. This is for you."

Jared carefully took out a thermos bottle filled with the especially ordered soup and handed it to Nicole.

This was the order from Kerr. He had already anticipated that Nicole would not accept these things easily, so he tried every means to make her accept them.

Nicole hesitated to accept Jared's offering.

If she accepted it, it would make Kerr complacent and her lose face. If she refused, it would be very impolite.

As Nicole continued to hesitate, Kerr stood up with a slight smile on his face and walked out. He called Jared to come with him.

Nicole felt relieved as soon as Kerr and Jared were out the door.

"Mommy, do you feel embarrassed to eat it with Uncle Gu around?"

Head tilted to one side, Jay looked at Nicole who was wearing an unnatural expression.

"Of course not, dear."

The food's mouthwatering smell wafted from the table, making Nicole's strong willpower struggle in her heart.

"I know you're hungry, so just eat, Mommy. I promise not to tell Uncle Gu. When he comes back, I will tell him that I have eaten all the food. I don't think he will mind."

Jay tried to find an excuse for Nicole.

"Really? What if he finds out?"

Nicole smiled tenderly at Jay. It warmed her heart how her little boy would do anything for her just as she would for him.

"He won't, Mommy. Don't worry."

Jay pushed the thermos bottle toward Nicole with a smile.
