The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 155

"Why are you sitting here by yourself? Are you alright?"

The moment Kerr spotted Nicole sitting there in silence, he thought she might be sad. So he carefully reached out and lifted her chin to see her face, but was soon relieved to find out that she was smiling at him.

"How dare you deceive me like this?"

Kerr was about to pull Nicole into his arms when he heard her refusal.

"Don't. Don't touch me."

Nicole wanted to frighten Kerr a bit more, but his concerned voice didn't let her carry on with the plan.

"What's wrong?"

Kerr immediately examined Nicole in search of any injuries as soon as he heard her objection.

"Don't worry, my feet are just numb. They'll recover soon."

Nicole then stretched her body for a few moments before Kerr took her in his arms and carried her to the passenger seat. Once she was settled, he went around the vehicle and occupied the driver's seat. As he drove away, Nicole looked at his face and smiled.

"What did your father say to you?"

"What did my mother say to you?"

They said at the same time, causing Nicole to laugh out loud. Kerr was instantly at ease to the sound of it.

"Besides offering me a large sum of money to leave you as soon as possible? Nothing important."

She looked at Kerr, waiting for his reaction.

"Then why didn't you say yes?" Kerr asked pretentiously.

Although he detected the enthusiasm present in Nicole's voice, he knew she would never leave him for money.

"How do you know that I didn't say yes?"

Despite feeling in Kerr's statement that he was sure she wouldn't do it, Nicole asked him anyway.

"If you had agreed, I wouldn't have found you sitting alone on the roadside."

Moreover, if Nicole was with him because of his money, she could have already left with a large sum long ago. But she never did it.

In truth, Kerr simply believed in the love he shared with Nicole.

"I actually thought about accepting it, but then I realized that as the Gu Group's CEO, you're a cash cow yourself. So why should I accept less than what I can get?"

Her eyes deliberately glinted with greed as she looked at him, but Kerr didn't mind it. Instead, he stared at her lovingly.

"You're very clever, indeed. But what if I told you that I'm no longer the CEO of the Gu Group and that I lost all rights to it, would you leave me then?"

He had no doubts about the answer, but he still wanted to hear it from her own lips.

Nicole analyzed Kerr's face for a moment but noticed that he looked at ease. So she smiled at him.

"Even without the Gu Group, I doubt you would let me and Jay starve to death, right? But why are you so sure I wouldn't leave you? After all, Sunny He did accuse me of betraying the Gu Group. Don't you believe her?"

Nicole had wanted to ask this question before, but she didn't want to do it in front of Jay.
