The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 127

"How generous! I need three days to get my affairs in order. I don't want to do things sloppily."

Jared's eyes widened in surprise as he heard Nicole's words from the recorder, and he looked at Kerr. But Kerr remained calm, as if what Nicole had said didn't matter to him at all.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ning..."

"How are constructions of the Sea Heart Island progressing?"

Kerr glanced down at the documents in his hand.

"The development is ongoing, and it will take some time."

Jared stared at Kerr in confusion.

"Mr. Gu, do you believe the recording to be fake?"

"It's true. It is Nicole's voice. We need to speed up the construction of the Sea Heart Island, and strengthen security around Jay."

Kerr knew Nicole well. She must have her reasons. No wonder she suddenly came to him. It seemed that she had gradually begun to see him as someone she could depend on.

'Three days?' It seemed that he would have to cherish the sweetness that Nicole gave him as there were only three days left.

A slight smile tugged at the corners of Kerr's mouth, confusing Jared. Instead of becoming vexed by what Nicole had said, Kerr seemed almost happy, which was illogical.

But Jared didn't dare to question any further, so he had to resolve matters according to Kerr's orders.

Nicole didn't know where to go while she was driving the car. She couldn't reveal any of this matter to Avery or Baron. She couldn't bring the power of the Gu family down on them, and neither the Lin family nor the Fang family could oppose them.

While she was considering this, Nicole's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw it was a call from Avery. She immediately answered it.

"Avery."

When Avery heard Nicole's voice, she seemed to have found someone she could vent her spleen on.

"Nicole, are you in the hospital? I'll come to you. I can't carry on like this."

Avery slammed the door shut while she held the phone tightly in her hand. Her anger was obviously detected from her tone.

Even though Nicole could only hear her over the phone, she could hear her impatience, and she couldn't help shaking her head.

"I'll come pick you up. I'm not far from your home now. Wait for me there."

"Okay."

After hearing Nicole's offer, Avery agreed and hung up the call. She turned back to look at the villa behind her and glanced up at the window on the second floor. She could no longer see the man.

It was sunny outside, but she stubbornly refused to look back. Instead, she squatted on the steps leading up to the villa, waiting for Nicole.

Fortunately, only ten minutes later, Nicole's car pulled up at the door of the Lin family's villa.

"Finally, you are here! If you didn't arrive now, I would have contracted sunstroke!"

Avery quickly opened the passenger door and immediately got in.

"Why didn't you wait for me inside your home? So, where do you want to go?"

Nicole started the car again and started driving.

"Anywhere but here is fine. I don't want to go back home anyway!"

leaning back against the car seat, Avery replied in an impatient tone.

I'm staying here to fight against them to the end."

Nicole's eyes lit up, and she looked at Avery excitedly. This way, she didn't need to give up Kerr as Jay could be moved to a place of safety.

"I really want to help you, but Zachary Lin has taken my passport and identity card. I can't leave A City now. I'll even have to rely on you to shelter me tonight."

At the mention of Zachary Lin, Avery's anger surged to the forefront again.

"I still have an apartment where I once lived. You can stay there for a while."

Nicole's hopes were instantly shattered, and once again she lay her head on the table, feeling a sense of despair.

"Don't throw in the towel yet. There will be a solution. If you were a princess of a powerful and rich family, the Gu family will surely ask Kerr to marry you. In fact, I really believe that you are a princess."

Having known Nicole for so many years, Avery always felt that Nicole looked like a princess who had accidentally lost her way and ended up in the place where the common people lived.

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Lin. If I do become a princess one day, I will not forget you."

Although Nicole said this, she didn't believe it even for a minute.

Even if she were a princess, she wouldn't solve every problem. A princess was seen as being noble, shining like a diamond in everyone else's eyes. But only the princess herself knew how she felt. It was the similar situation to Kerr's. To outsiders, he seemed to be a successful man, but only she knew how lonely he really felt.

At that time, Nicole had no clue that Avery's words would come true one day.

In the old house of the Gu family

After parking her car at the front gates of the Gus' home, Sunny got out of the car as soon as she saw Kelvin coming outside.

"Uncle Kelvin, is Mrs. Gu at home? I've come to see her."
