The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 161

His instinct told him that what was weighing on Nicole's mind had something to do with him.

When Nicole heard him ask her, she merely shook her head and answered vaguely, "You will know when we arrive there." Still looking at him, her mind kept telling her that since they had decided to be together, it would be a lot easier for them to face the fact sooner rather than later.

In no time, the car stopped at the gate of the cemetery. Kerr immediately knew what was happening as he busied himself observing the surroundings in front of him. But instead of rejecting her, he quickly opened the door of the car for her and gently held her hand.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Nicole blurted out. She knew how awkward it sounded since it was not what she meant to ask him. What she genuinely wanted to know was whether he would mind coming in with her. Since they were at the cemetery, the place was very solemn.

"That's what I want to ask you exactly. Do you think I will be afraid?"

Kerr gently replied. He yearned to make her feel his sincerity. That no matter how dangerous or distant the place was, as long as her heart desired to be there, he would never hesitate to hold her hand and be with her.

And now, he could only feel that it was such a good start that Nicole brought him here. To him, it was a positive affirmation of what they had at the moment.

Slowly, the smile on Nicole's face faded, but her heart became extremely calm because of Kerr's words. She silently headed to her parents' tombstones and stared at the photos on them. And after a moment of silence, she opened her mouth.

"Someone gave me a present today, but I don't like it." She deliberately turned to face Kerr, who was standing beside her. Her eyes showed an inquiring expression, but there was not the slightest sign of doubt in it, not even a tiny dot.

Staring intently at her eyes, Kerr instantly knew that this was what she was hiding from him. But then, joy and delight swept over him that she was finally sharing everything with him.

"If you don't like it, just ignore it,"

Kerr suggested kindly. He vowed to himself that provided it was something that Nicole liked in this world, he would willingly give it to her at any price. But if it was something that she hated, then he would make it disappear in front of her outright.

Nicole lifted her hand and casually handed the documents to Kerr as she fixed her gaze on his face, eyeing him carefully, not wanting to miss any of his reactions.

"Do you believe it?"

After glancing at the documents, Kerr calmly asked her as a hint of disdain appeared on the corners of his mouth. However, he quickly understood that if Nicole believed it, she wouldn't be with him now.

"I believe you,"

Nicole replied. Her tone sounded soft, but there was firmness in her words. Pausing for a moment, she then directed her gaze at her parents' gravestones.

"Today, in front of my parents, I only ask you once. Do you have anything to do with the bankruptcy of Ning Group and my father's death?"

No matter how many people had raised their opinions, they were not Kerr. And since this matter had already involved him, she just needed to get the truth from him.

To her, what others assumed and said didn't matter. What only mattered to her was what Kerr said.

"Nicole, I promise you, your father's death has nothing to do with me. If you want to know, I'll look into what happened seven years ago and tell you what I will find out. I promise you this. Don't worry.

I will give you whatever you want as long as you believe me,"

Kerr tenderly assured her as he reached out to pull her into his arms. He felt grateful that she trusted him so that he would have the chance to find out the truth. And most importantly, she chose to be still with him.

If he had not gone through this, he would never imagine that he would love a woman so intensely.
