The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 18

"I will thank Uncle Fang next time."

Jay glanced at the remote control car with no interest in it. Whether it was his birthday or any other event, Baron would always send him thousands of gifts. Yet, he had never put his heart into any of them.

Such a childish toy could only be suitable for those equally childish.

"Jay, I want to talk to you."

Nicole thought it was about time for them to talk about Kerr, so she straightened her face and gave him a stern look.

"I like Uncle Gu very much. Compared to Uncle Fang, I think Uncle Gu suits you better. Does mom like Uncle Gu?"

Nicole knew Jay was smart enough to take care of himself and read books while other children of his age couldn't. However, he still missed a true father-son relationship.

"Jay, it's not about whether I like Uncle Gu or not. He has his own life, his family and his children. We shouldn't disturb other people's lives, right?"

While she was in Manhattan, a friend had tried to set her up on many blind dates. But despite her son's consent, she would always refuse them—afraid someone could wrong her son.

Jay couldn't help the disappointment on his delicate face once he heard Nicole's words. Still, he tamely nodded in response.

"I'm full, mom. I'm going to take a shower."

Staring from Jay's back heading to the bathroom to his almost untouched slice of pizza, Nicole sighed heavily.

She could sense he was upset. But she had no choice besides ignoring it.

'It's all Kerr's fault! He's such a bastard!' she thought.

When she got back into her room, she sat on the mattress in a daze. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the jewelry box at the headboard. In it there was a black earring, which had once belonged to her mother.

Of course, there should have been a pair, but now there was only one single piece left. Nicole put the box away inside the drawer at the bottom of her bedside table.

Suddenly, the phone started to ring, cutting off her thoughts.

The car was on the road and the windows were down as Kerr could feel the breeze comfortably blowing against his face. The peace he felt when meeting Nicole and Jay was exactly what he had been looking for.

When his phone rang, Kerr raised his hand to connect the Bluetooth headset hidden in his ear.

"Kerr, where have you been? We're all having such a good time here! Come over now."

Ken Qin stated convincingly. Kerr looked at his watch to check the time.

"I can't, I have to attend a video conference later."

He had already put a whole day off because of Nicole and Jay.

"Oh, come on! I have a surprise. I promise it's something you'll like and you won't regret if you come by."

Ken's mystery incited Kerr's curiosity, and his eyes turned to the beautiful girl in front of him.

"Fifteen minutes,"

Kerr said and then hung up the phone, stepping on the gas. His black Rolls Royce was traveling like a ghost in the dark night.

It was in Good Times, a famous entertainment place in the city. But compared with other entertainment venues, it didn't give easy access to just anyone.

People that came in here weren't just from wealthy families, they also belonged to the highest social spheres.

Kerr owned a fixed private room in the building, so he knew his way around very well and went straightly to room 168.

"Kerr, here!"

Ken called his friend without straying his eyes from the door. When Kerr was close enough, he reached out his hand to him.
