If Jay knew that they hadn't gone out for business, he would have been disappointed.
"You called it a business trip, then this should be a business trip."
As a matter of fact, when Kerr had been outside with Nicole, his mind was whirring with thoughts and plans. The most important idea was to help the little woman to get over the disturbance and to distract Moore's focus.
He really wanted to see what evil things Moore would do while he was away, so that he could find an opportunity to strike back. But this time, he didn't intend to give Moore another chance.
He switched on his laptop and set it on his lap. Leaning back against the sofa, he looked at the messages from Jared on the screen, and his eyes were clear.
This time, Kerr didn't bring Jared with him because he wanted him to keep an eye on Moore.
"Mr. Gu, the lunch is ready."
A middle-aged man in a white suit bowed respectfully to Kerr.
Kerr set down his notebook and took Nicole's hand, leading her to the dining room. Seeing all the delicious delicacies on the lunch table, she suddenly felt hungry.
As she was about to sit on the chair next to Kerr, she felt his hand suddenly pull her to him. She found herself sitting on his lap instead. Looking at the servants and housekeeper standing station along the walls, she blushed furiously.
She wriggled slightly in his grasp and was about to push him away. But she saw the firm look in his eyes and had no choice but to let him do as he wanted.
Nicole felt extremely satisfied when Kerr began to feed her.
As she chewed and enjoyed the flavors of the food in her mouth, Nicole suddenly felt her stomach churn. She reached out her hand and pushed Kerr away, and covering her mouth, she ran towards the washroom.
"Nicole?"
Seeing her dash away, Kerr put down his tableware, stood up and quickly followed after her.
Leaning on the wash basin, she was spitting out all the food she had eaten. Only then did she feel somewhat better. She turned on the tap and rinsed her mouth with water. After that, she straightened.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Kerr looked nervously at Nicole's pale face, and his eyes were filled with concern. He reached out and held her shoulder, and he questioned her seriously.
Hearing the concern in his voice, Nicole just felt tired and shook her head.
Reaching out his arms, Kerr easily scooped Nicole up and carried her towards their bedroom on the second floor. After he had put her on the bed, he ordered the butler to call their doctor for her.
"Don't worry. I'm fine. Perhaps I ate too fast just now? But I feel much better now."
She held his hand. Actually she was not that fragile, and she didn't want him to make a fuss over her.
But Kerr was still worried about her. Fortunately, the doctor came soon and examined her carefully. Then he turned around and respectfully said to him,
"Mr. Gu, don't worry. Miss Ning is just adjusting to the new environment. I'll prescribe some medicine for her right now and have it delivered here later."
The doctor had a meaningful look on his face as he pushed his glasses along his narrow nose.
With all his attention focused on Nicole, Kerr noticed nothing odd, and he waved his hand, indicating the butler to go out with the doctor to fetch the medicine. Seeing his hinted instruction, the butler and the doctor left the bedroom together.
At the gate of the villa, the doctor looked back at the second floor window, his eyes full of worry.
"We have to inform the young master of this matter. Although it appears that she might be pregnant, it has not been confirmed. If she needs blood tests, I'm afraid it will arouse Kerr's suspicions," the doctor said.
The butler nodded. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. The call was soon answered.
