The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 36

"Mr. Gu, you are the guest. Please take the menu first."

Baron pushed the menu to Kerr in a respectful manner.

Discreetly, he showed his identity clearly. It created the impression that he was a family with Nicole and Jay, and the man named Kerr was an outsider.

"Don't bother. What did Nicole order? I only want the same one,"

Kerr replied beaming before turning to look at Nicole with a devilish smile.

He treated Baron's provocation indifferently because other than he found it uninteresting, he never took it seriously. What he craved at the moment was to get what he wanted. No matter what it was or who it was.

He had been like this in the past. Now facing Nicole, he felt that it was still the same, nothing had changed.

The only difference lay in his firm determination to have her.

Nicole was slightly uneasy. Knowing Kerr staring at her intently, she felt herself blushing.

"How do you know what I ordered? Must you like it?"

she asked bluntly. 'This was weird,' she thought. She had this nagging feeling of being haunted by this man. He was like a stalker. She couldn't avoid him in the company, and even after work, she couldn't get rid of him.

Since when had she been afraid of getting along with Kerr? Imagining the way how Kerr looked at her now, it seemed like he would swallow her whole in his stomach.

Indeed, she was becoming a bundle of nerves this day.

"Even if I don't like it now, I'll try to get used to it,"

Kerr grinned, holding her gaze intently and a bit more passionately.

'What difference could it make even if Baron was really the father of Jay?' Kerr mused. While still appreciating the beauty sitting across him, he inwardly swore that Baron's being a father of Jay wouldn't deter him from liking Nicole.

"Ha-ha!"

Hearing Kerr's words, Jay felt happy that he almost couldn't suppress a giggle. He immediately covered his mouth, but still, his mother caught it.

"Jay, don't be so impolite."

Not knowing how to respond to Kerr, she had resorted to looking at her son instead. Her eyes were so helpless.

Considering how happy he was, gradually, she lowered her guard down in her heart's defense. Because first and foremost, Jay was her Achilles heel. She didn't care about anyone's feelings, but she couldn't ignore Jay's.

"Okay, Mommy, I want to go to the bathroom,"

Jay softly mumbled, meeting his mother's eyes with a serious expression, before casting a glance at Kerr.

"Uncle Gu, can you take me there?"

he requested, his face looking expectant. He was curious about Uncle Gu's thoughts, so he surely needed to have a good talk with him. After all, it was related to Mommy's happiness, so he must be cautious.

"Okay,"

Kerr nodded at once before standing up and inched his way to Jay. He gently wrapped his hand in his small hand and carefully led him to the bathroom.

Looking at their backs, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. She subconsciously picked up a glass of water on the table and drank some to calm herself down.

Baron, however, chose this moment to spout what was on his head.

"Nicole, I've told Kerr that Jay is our son."

What he said next almost made her choke on a mouthful of water. It took her a lot of strength to prevent the water from gushing out of her mouth. She tried to suppress the erratic beating of her heart, but when she swallowed it, she coughed incessantly.

"Ahem!
