The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 229

Everyone in the crowd turned to look at Nicole.

Nicole took out her phone and looked at the news headline popped up on the notifications of her phone, which read, "The CEO of the Gu Group and the daughter of the He Group's CEO are engaged. Their wedding will be held on the 18th of next month."

Nicole knew that the Gu family was putting pressure on Kerr. But when she saw it publicly announced that her beloved would be married to someone else, she was devastated.

Kerr's face was grave as he held Nicole's hand, not wanting her to be influenced by such things.

"Nicole, trust me. They can't influence me at all. I won't be with anyone except you.

I will never agree to the so-called wedding. If they arrange it, I won't show up. If you don't believe, I can prove it to you right now."

Putting down her phone, Nicole turned to look at Kerr beside her, with a smile on her lips. "I know."

Then she looked at everyone present. She knew that they were worried about her, so she said, as if she had no worries in the world, "I'm very happy today. I don't want to think about such unhappy things.

I know that all of you have worked very hard for me in recent days. I'm really grateful that I can have all of you. This wine is a token of my regards."

Nicole picked up the glass in front of her and was ready to drink it up, but before her lips could touch the glass, Kerr took her wine away.

"You are pregnant. I'll drink it for you." Kerr drank up the wine for her.

Though he said nothing about it, Kerr noticed a strange look in Nicole‘s eyes which he found concerning. She had been moody ever since becoming pregnant.

Kerr expected that Nicole would be very angry when she received such news. So when he saw the smile on her face, it made him a little worried.

After all, it would be awful if she got angry.

Although Nicole said she was fine, everyone who was there knew that she was pretending to be calm. Everyone knew how embarrassed Nicole was now.

Therefore, as they sensed the awkwardness, they all found excuses to leave the dinner.

Even Jay was taken away by Harley, who made an excuse.

Nicole lowered her eyes and the smile on her lips disappeared bit by bit. "I said that I'm fine," she murmured.

She shook Kerr's hand away suddenly. Instead of looking at Kerr beside her, she just tried to hold back her anger.

"Nicole, if you feel anything wrong, you can say it. I don't want you to hide your feelings." He tried to reach out and hug her, but she dodged him.

"What should I say? That I'm happy to be your mistress while you marry someone else? Or should I say that this was completely outside your expectations?

I know you can't do anything about it, but please give me some time. This is a lot to process right now. I'm not as strong as you think."
