The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 142

Nicole immediately remembered Kelvin's threat, so she had to be cautious.

She couldn't help the feeling of being grabbed by the neck and having her breath restricted. At that moment, she regretted allowing Jay out of her sight. All she wanted to know was if he was safe and sound.

Suddenly, she felt Kerr's arm around her shoulders. He was trying to reassure her as he led her to the lounge.

Kelvin then stepped forward and opened the door for Kerr and Nicole, closing it right after they all came in and muffling the music outside.

The so-called lounge was actually quite similar to a smaller banquet room.

"Mommy!"

As soon as Jay saw Nicole, he jumped out of Harley's arms and bustled his short legs straight to her.

"Jay," Nicole uttered gratefully, as she leaned over to pick her son up.

Then she turned her head to look into Kerr's eyes. She thought that as long as Jay was safe and Kerr was by her side, she didn't have anything else to fear.

This time she would fight for her happiness because it wasn't only hers at stake anymore. It was Kerr's and Jay's too.

"Jay, come here."

Kerr reached out, taking Jay from Nicole. The boy was heavier now, and it wasn't as easy as it used to be for her to carry him. So Kerr supported Jay in one of his arms and held Nicole's hand with his free one.

For the first time in his life, he felt as if his world was whole.

"Nicole, long time no see!"

A man in a navy blue suit stepped out from one of the corners of the lounge. With his eyes fixed on Nicole, he walked towards her.

"Do we know each other, sir?"

Frowning, Nicole stared at the stranger in front of her and then looked back and forth between Fiona Zhao and Gregory Song, who were both standing at the end of the room.

Unconsciously, she tightened her grip around Kerr's hand.

"Nicole, you've had our baby without telling me. He's so grown up already, and you are still going to pretend that you don't know who I am?"

The man glanced at Jay in Kerr's arms, but quickly looked away, intimidated by Kerr's sharp gaze. Uneasy, he took a breath before turning back to Nicole.

"Seven years ago, you begged me to save the Ning Group. The Song family helped you get in touch with me. Then you made the first move to sleep with me. After that, you took my check to Manhattan, never bothering to tell me we had a child.

Both the boy and Gregory Song are here now. Will you still deny it?"

the stranger asked, his voice ever so calm. When he was about to reach out to Jay for a hug, he felt Kerr's cold gaze over him and gave up the idea.

"Huh! Sir, you've got the wrong person?"

Nicole was amused by the man's words. With a mocking grin, she hovered her eyes over everyone in the room who were waiting to watch the rest of the scene.

"You know exactly what you've done! You took advantage of your friendship with the Song family so you could hook up with Mr. Tang. Back then, I also used to believe you were a precious gem. I never expected you would turn to be a vain woman capable of doing such a despicable thing in order to get Mr. Tang's money.
