The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 156

The night went by quiet and pleasant.

It wasn't until dawn that Kerr let go of an already exhausted Nicole. However, he still kept her wrapped in his arms as he looked out of the window at the beautiful sun rising on the horizon.

"What are you thinking about?"

Nicole snuggled in his arms, feeling the safest she ever did, and asked him curiously when she noticed his silence.

Taking his hand, she studied the lines on his palm with a smile.

"Thinking of you. But why don't you sleep for a while?"

Kerr looked down at her and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"But I'm with you right now. Why are you thinking about me? And I can't sleep, even though I'm tired. We should go home now, anyway, it's already dawn," Nicole suggested, looking out of the window.

It was still early, and there weren't any cars on the road yet, but Nicole felt uneasy wearing nothing but her underwear and Kerr's coat.

With her dress torn into pieces, it was nearly impossible to put it back on again.

"No matter where you are, you are always in my thoughts."

After giving her a good morning kiss, Kerr lifted himself and sat back to the driver's seat. Then he started the car.

But what he failed to mention to her was that they were still in the Gu family's private land, and no other vehicle would show up outside. Only cars allowed could travel on this road.

In order to avoid trespassers, surveillance cameras were installed in different parts of this area. Therefore Kerr knew that his car couldn't hide from the Gu family's eyes, and nor did he wish that.

Actually, he wanted to make it clear to his family that Nicole was his one and only woman.

"Have some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get home."

He smiled at Nicole before driving away.

As Kerr suspected, the atmosphere in Jack's study was heavy back in the Gu family's old house.

Kelvin stared at Jack behind his desk, not daring to make a sound. The old master was furious. Since Kerr knew he was being watched, he deliberately made a loud noise to provoke his father.

In this world, only the young master would have such audacity.

"Withdraw his power in the Gu Group."

No one ever dared to be this disrespectful to him before, so Jack was out of his mind.

"My Lord, Master Kerr is just young and impulsive, but there's no one more familiar with the Gu Group than him. If you take him away from the company, I'm afraid..."

Kelvin tried his best to persuade Jack not to make things even more difficult between him and Kerr.

"Are you saying the Gu Group will be doomed without him? He's not the only one suitable to lead of the company."

"Uncle Gu!"

The moment Kerr went through the door, he heard Jay's voice, and the little woman in his arms turned a bit but didn't wake up.

"Hush. Your mommy is sleeping,"

Kerr addressed to Jay but never stopped walking. Nicole was only wearing his business suit, and it was improper for the child to see her this way.

Jay didn't say another word. However, when he was about to check if his mother was alright, Kerr had already carried her upstairs.

Wasting no time, Jay hurried after Kerr and Nicole but was unable to reach the bedroom door before Kerr closed it.

Jay's small hand patted lightly on the door. He didn't dare to use too much strength in case of waking Nicole up. Yet, no one paid attention to him.

"Uncle took Mommy away as soon as he showed up."

Displeased, Jay turned around and left.

Ignoring the knock on the door, Kerr left Nicole for a few instants in the bed as he went to get the bathtub ready. When he returned to the room, he gently undressed Nicole before carrying her to the tub and putting her in.

Still asleep, Nicole smiled in response to the warm water revolving her body. She felt safe in her deep slumber.

After he got her cleaned up, Kerr took her back to the bed and pulled the soft blanket over her.
