The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 28

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

It was quite expected. But now, Jared felt a little sorry for Sunny He. It was widely perceived that it was easier for a woman to chase a man. But in Sunny's case, it was no bed of roses. It was so difficult for her to even get Kerr's attention.

Early morning, when Nicole had hastily packed her stuff and brought Jay downstairs, she quickly noticed that Kerr's car was already waiting for them.

"Good morning, Uncle Gu!"

Recognizing Kerr's car, Jay ran towards it and greeted him politely.

"Good morning!"

Kerr got out of the car and opened the back door for Jay. After he saw him get in the car, he turned his attention towards Nicole who was standing behind him.

"Mr. Gu, you really don't have to do this. If you'd be willing to give me the address, I'd definitely feel duty-bound to send Jay there."

She looked at Kerr, feeling embarrassed. Since Kerr left the hospital without a word yesterday, she had been reflecting on herself. She thought she shouldn't have said those harsh words to him.

Her words yesterday sounded like it was she who had demanded a future with Kerr.

"If you keep on refusing, we'll probably end up being late."

He welcomely opened the door for her.

Since Jay had already gotten in the car, she didn't truly have much of a choice than to follow his lead. Sitting in the passenger's seat, Nicole didn't part her tightly pressed lips throughout the while when the car cruised through the busy street. When the car eventually stopped in front of the school door, she noticed that the principal seemed to have been expecting them for a while.

It was only guessable that Kerr had informed him about their arrival in advance.

"Welcome, Mr. Gu. Everything has been arranged with regard to the child. Please don't worry. This is the head teacher who's in charge of Jay's class."

The principal was in his fifties and was dressed in a black suit, which made him look very energetic. When he saw Kerr, he immediately bent slightly towards him and shook his hands elegantly.

"Good morning!"

Jay greeted his teacher happily. His mother had made it the mission of her life to ensure that he always remained a polite and obedient child.

"What a charming boy!"

The principal stared at Jay with admiration in his eyes. The children who were able to join here were anything but ordinary. He was also the first child who was brought here by Kerr. The principal wouldn't dare to neglect him.

"Thank you for taking care of Jay in school."

Nicole nodded at the teacher and the principal respectfully.

"You're welcome, Miss Ning."

"Mom, Uncle Gu, you may go for work. Let me also go to my classroom. You may have to hurry or else you'll be late."

Jay waved his hand to bid goodbye to them.

Kerr nodded back and left with Nicole without much hesitation.

"Mr. Gu, how much do you estimate I should pay for Jay's tuition and all other related expenses?"

Nicole felt embarrassed for bothering Kerr so much already. She was keen on not allowing Kerr to pay the tuition fees for Jay. She felt she was the one who was primarily responsible for Jay.

Upon hearing that, Kerr was a little surprised. He turned around and looked at her in a way that didn't quite hide his emotions.

In the past, women had always demanded money from him. Nicole was the first woman who wanted to return him the money. In addition, Nicole's action reminded him of the woman who had left 2,642 dollars and fled from him seven years ago.
