The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 223

Moore revealed an innocent expression in his eyes as he gazed at Kerr and Nicole.

Sunny heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what Moore confessed. Now that she got a witness, she couldn't help feeling confident that Kerr wouldn't dare deny what had happened between them that night.

With the rate of how things were going, Nicole refused to believe every single word that came out of Moore's mouth. But was there a need for Moore to tell a lie? She slowly lifted her head and deeply gazed into Kerr's eyes rather inquisitively.

At the back of her mind, she thought that what Moore was trying to establish by his revelation had nothing to do with him. Kerr‘s marriage with Sunny could only strengthen his status in the family. Logically, if that was indeed the case, Moore should have stopped it.

And this confused her now. It was undeniable that Moore was on Sunny‘s side.

"How do you explain that?" Nicole managed to ask as doubt started to grow in her heart. What she needed now was an explanation coming from Kerr apart from him comforting her.

"I have nothing to say. Even if we were in the same room, that means nothing,"

Kerr gently assured her. He knew that more than anything, Moore only wanted to see the Gu family get messed up, so he could take the opportunity to get what he wanted. Kerr knew him well, and if Moore had some tricks up his sleeves, he surely would not let himself fall into his trap.

But apparently, Kerr couldn't help doubting it when Moore tried to get into the middle of this.

"I was about to call Kerr, but he didn't seem to refuse Miss He, so I decided not to disturb him. It seemed like something was wrong between them,"

Moore pointed out as a deep frown appeared in his forehead. He even fell into deep thoughts as if he was trying to recall what Kerr looked like at that time.

Sunny's face immediately turned red when she heard what Moore said, and she reasoned out shyly, "Kerr and I drank a little wine at that time, so we can't control ourselves..."

Despite feeling a bit embarrassed, Sunny caught herself surprised and hadn't expected that Moore would disclose it. She knew it better than anyone else how she got pregnant. Even though she felt slightly guilty, it was the truth.

She had a baby with Kerr. And it was a fact that could not be changed, no matter how reluctant Kerr was to accept it.

"Kerr, I know that you don't expect this to happen, but no matter how much you hate the idea of getting married to me, still, I am pregnant with your child. Do you really have the heart to abandon us?"

Sunny muttered, her voice sounded almost pleading. Feeling disheartened and pitiful, she looked at Kerr squarely.

Nicole couldn't stand it anymore, so with a trace of irony in the corner of her mouth, she calmly stated, "Miss He, you are carrying a child. But what about my baby? I don't care where you get the child. But it's not a wise idea to try to get a man by using a child.

In this world, children are considered a blessing of love, and not your tool to get the things you want."

Like Sunny, Nicole was carrying Kerr's baby. But she never thought of forcing Kerr to marry her because of the baby. For her, having a baby was their blessing, not a tool.

Sensing Nicole's inner turmoil, Kerr clenched her hand tightly, seemingly reassuring her before turning to look at Sunny. "I never had sex with you. The child in your belly is not mine.

Sunny, you schemed this whole thing. If you want to put on an act, then somebody might want to watch your show, but it's not me. I'm not interested in acting with you either. I won't marry you."

Soon after Kerr said those words, he abruptly stood up and was about to leave the room with Nicole at his side.

"Stop!" Jack yelled. He had always known that Kerr was a short-tempered man, but now he certainly didn't want to allow him to be unruly.
