The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 278

Kerr heaved a sigh and thought about this for a moment. He knew that it was really the best time, but he wasn't sure if he was prepared to place Nicole and their family at risk. After a while, he nodded and said, "I will think about it. Just don't mention this to Nicole for now, or she will just be put into more stress. For now, contact Uncle Kelvin. There is something I want to talk to him about."

Satisfied with Kerr's response, Jared nodded and turned around to call Kelvin. Having made Kelvin side with them was quite a wise decision.

Moreover, they had to admit that Jay's plan did solve them a lot of trouble. At least, especially at this crucial times, it was more convenient for them to have someone in the Gu family to relay some information to them.

Meanwhile, Nicole sat on the rocking chair as she felt tired. Ever since her belly was getting bigger and heavier, she had been feeling easily tired lately and even found it harder to move. Reclining the chair, she gave a sideways glance at Kerr, who was immersed in his work. She smiled at the sight of Kerr and felt only peace and happiness in her heart.

Feeling Nicole's gaze on him, Kerr asked without looking away from his laptop. "Aren't you tired of looking at me like this every day?" Then, he closed his laptop, set it aside, and walked towards Nicole. He squatted beside her to be on the same eye level and placed his arm across the back of her chair.

With his free hand, he fondled with her hair and looked at her with gentle and soft eyes.

Nicole felt her face flush at how close Kerr was to her. Before she could get lost into his loving eyes, she answered him, "Of course not. Why would I? Besides, I chose to spend the rest of my life with you, so how could I get bored with you? Why ask? Are you bored here? Shall we go back?" Nicole had a faint feeling and tried to make her own assumptions in her head, because Kerr wouldn't tell her anything that might cause her to be stressed out. She completely understood, but she also wanted to be there for Kerr. In fact, Kerr told her that this was a honeymoon, but almost half a year had passed, and they were still here.

Besides, the Gu family couldn't lay a finger on her, because Kelvin was helping them. It was also because Kerr had put in a lot of effort to protect her and Jay, so that she would be able to enjoy such a peaceful life.

Then again, that didn't mean they could lead a safe and peaceful life forever. Nothing was permanent in this world.

Stroking her hair, Kerr shook his head and replied, "The environment here is more suitable for you to nourish the baby. Seeing you at peace and often smiling made me decide that you should give birth to the baby here before we decide whether to go back."

Kerr would never place Nicole in any danger, and coming back to a place full of wolves when she could even barely stand up on her own made Kerr worry about her safety.

Nicole was about to speak, but she was interrupted when she saw Jared walking hastily towards them. "Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, but Kelvin is here."

It was supposed to be a good thing that Kelvin was here, but looking at how anxious Jared was, Kerr knew that something was wrong. Even Nicole sensed an obvious uneasiness, which made her look at Kerr with concern. However, Kerr only gave her a kiss on the forehead before rising to his feet.

"I’ll meet him in the living room," he replied to Jared. With a quick assuring smile at Nicole, Kerr then followed Jared to the living room. He did not want Nicole to hear their conversation and be bothered by the Gu family's affairs. She was already dragged into this mess the moment she had gotten together with Kerr, so he did not want her to get involved with it even more.

Nicole pouted, but she understood why Kerr did not want to take her with him and did not insist any further. However, ten minutes had passed since, and driven by worry and curiosity, she quietly walked towards the door of the living room.

Since the sofa was quite far from the door of the living room, she could only vaguely hear something as she eavesdropped on their conversation.

In the living room, Kelvin looked at Kerr anxiously and said, "Master, the Gu Group is in a crisis now. Even though your father hasn't given any orders yet, he has already decided to let you back to the Gu Group. Moreover, Miss He has given birth to a boy, and your father got that news too."

This was way out of their expectations. In the past few months, it turned out that Kerr wasn't the only one looking for Sunny. Jack, too, was looking for her.

However, none of them had any progress until now that Jack had received this very news. Kelvin could tell that Jack was already looking forward to it, even though he hadn't seen Sunny nor her child yet.

"She gave birth?" Kerr asked in disbelief. A deep frown marred Kerr's face as he thought about this. How could Sunny give birth to the child earlier than Nicole? Then again, this news just confirmed Kerr's assumptions. Sunny did hide herself away from everybody to protect her baby and made sure that she would be able to have it in the end.

With a frustrated look on his face, Kerr asked coldly, "Where is she?" As a matter of fact, he did not care at all about Sunny or even the baby. All he cared about was wanting to do the DNA test with the child.
