The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 193

"Thank you for your blessing. I know what to do, and I will cherish my beloved wife," Baron said while deeply thinking that if saying these words could make Nicole feel at ease, then he was more than willing to say such words even against his will.

On the other hand, Maggie couldn't explain how exactly she felt the moment she heard Baron speak. Her heart was singing in joy. For her, it was the sweetest oath in the world.

Soon the wedding ceremony began, and the newly married couple was at the center of the stage. Silently, Nicole stood below the stage as she fixed her gaze towards Baron and Maggie. She could discern that although they were not so sweet, she still believed that they would be happy with such a new start in their life.

Unknowingly, her mind drifted away. Nicole fell into thinking as to when Kerr would give her such a wedding. Her heart kept telling her that it didn't need to be grand, as long as they had each other. Besides, every woman dreamt of marriage, and she was no exception.

Long before she met Kerr in her life, she assumed that she would never get married. But she realized it all wrong when she found out that Kerr was the biological father of Jay. And now, she fell in love with him, truly and madly!

Suddenly snapping back to her senses, Nicole couldn’t believe that she began to look forward to her own wedding.

On the stage, Baron was standing and looking at Maggie without any expression on his face. No one knew how much he hoped that the person standing opposite him could be Nicole, but he also knew that it was next to impossible.

"Mr. Baron Fang, would you like to take Miss Maggie Chen as your wife and to take care of her till the end of your life?"

The host glanced at him, and with a smile, asked Baron the vows that he would make at the wedding.

The host, however, didn't receive a response. It seemed that Baron didn't hear the question at all as his eyes kept darting towards Nicole, who was standing alone below the stage.

"Miss Ning, you shouldn't be here," Mrs. Fang suddenly approached Nicole and addressed her while she was watching Baron on the stage.

Nicole was stunned, and it rendered her immobile for a moment before she slowly understood what Mrs. Fang had blurted out. Unconsciously, it seemed that everyone's eyes turned to fix on her. They apparently noticed how Baron kept throwing glances in her direction.

It was such an uncomfortable moment. The host coughed awkwardly, standing on the stage.

Sensing the awkwardness of the moment, Maggie showed a panic expression on her face as she regarded Baron. God knew how deathly afraid she was that Baron would leave her and eventually walked towards Nicole. So she discreetly took a step forward, and secretly reached out her hand.

With the bunch of flowers in her hands, Maggie blocked the sight of others. Then she cautiously held one of Baron's hands and pleadingly whispered to him with obvious pity in her eyes, "Baron, you can't embarrass me."

Nicole gingerly looked around and noticed everyone was looking at her strangely. Smiling bitterly, she now fully grasped why she was not on Baron's invitation.

Without another word, she turned around and lowered her head, quickening her pace towards the door of the banquet hall. It turned out that she had become an unexpected guest in everyone's eyes when all she just wanted was to send her best wishes as a friend.

What was worst was that everyone also thought that her appearance was nothing but a mere provocation. Nicole could only endure until she reached the door of the banquet hall, then she distinctly heard Baron say, "I do."

It appeared that her presence seemed to have shaken Baron's determination to be with Maggie again. Perhaps, if she hadn't shown up, Baron would not embarrass Maggie in front of all their friends and relatives.

Nicole sighed inwardly, thinking that maybe her decision to attend the wedding was indeed a mistake.

"Kerr, is it really you?" Nicole whispered as she hugged Kerr tightly and seemed not wanting to let him go. "It's just my illusion, isn't it?" she blurted out after leaving Kerr's thin lips. She tentatively held his face in her hands while her eyes widened in surprise.

Anxiously regarding Kerr's face, Nicole was somehow convinced that he was still the same man she had ever known. His arms were warm and his expression was very affectionate, just like what he used to be.

Unable to believe her eyes, her tears turned from sadness to joy. After all, it was too good to be true.

Still mesmerized with her, Kerr lifted his hand to wipe the tears off her face. Then he said, "You little fool, it's really me. I've woken up. From now on, you don't need to face everything alone. I'll be with you."

Kerr knew what kind of pressure she faced in such a situation, even without him asking. He knew it in his heart.

He perceived that she must have suffered a lot. And for this reason, he had made up his mind and vowed to himself that he would make it up for her.

Hearing what Kerr had said, she radiantly smiled through her tears. Nothing was more important than knowing that Kerr was safe and sound. As long as he was okay, all her suffering had been paid off.

Someone said that as long as the ending was pleasant, then it was alright to shed some tears in the process. And now, that was all that mattered. Seeing Kerr standing in front of her back to his old self, safe and sound, nothing could make Nicole a lot happier.

Amused, Kerr kept staring at her, who was laughing and crying at the same time. God knew how much he missed her. So without another word, he put his arm around her waist and carried her towards his car.
