"Kerr... You're back." There was obvious surprise in Freya's tone. She looked at Nicole unconsciously.
"Have you had dinner? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner for you." While saying that, Freya was about to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Kerr as soon as she took a step forward.
"No, thanks. I have had dinner with Nicole outside." After saying that, Kerr kept staring at Freya with obvious anger. He took a step forward and was about to say something, but was stopped by Nicole beside him.
With a smile at Freya and Kerr, Nicole said, "Kerr, you've been busy all day. You must be tired. Go upstairs and take a shower." Obviously, Nicole didn't want Kerr to say anything right now.
Feeling Kerr's hostility, Kerr took a step back and looked at him with fear.
Hearing Nicole's words, Kerr knew what she meant, so he went upstairs.
"Nicole, do you have time? I have something to tell you!" Seeing that Nicole was about to follow Kerr, Freya immediately stopped her.
But her tone was kind and humble.
Hearing that, Nicole stopped her steps and turned around. She was surprised to see the smile on Freya's face. Last time when Freya showed such a sincere smile, she was driven out of the Gu family by Freya.
And almost lost the whole KN Group.
But she was Freya. As the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Nicole couldn't refuse her request. "Kerr, you can go upstairs first. I will come later." Nicole gently patted the back of Kerr's hand.
Then she pulled her hand out of Kerr's palm.
Kerr frowned. Obviously, he didn't want Nicole to stay with Freya alone.
But seeing the firmness in Nicole's eyes, Kerr had to take a meaningful look at Freya, and then turned to the bedroom upstairs.
Seeing Kerr leave, Freya felt relieved.
With a faint smile at Freya, Nicole walked towards the garden outside the villa. It was quiet there at this time. Perhaps Freya didn't want others to hear their conversation.
Freya followed Nicole in tacit agreement. Looking at her back, Freya's eyes twinkled.
"Nicole, I want to ask you about the shares last time. Did you really transfer the shares of the KN Group to Sunny? It's all Kerr's years of hard work. Does he know that?"
Using Kerr as an excuse, Freya didn't want Nicole to know that she had colluded with Sunny. On the surface, she was concerned about Kerr and Nicole, but in fact, she was testing Sunny's words.
Nicole turned around and said to Freya, "Mom, don't worry. The shares of the KN Group didn't fall into Sunny's hands. Although Kerr has known about it, the problems have been solved.
As for why you were kidnapped by Sunny, I don't want to ask you about it anymore. Let bygones be bygones." Nicole sensed Freya's hesitation.
Perhaps Freya had been suffering a lot these days, so Nicole didn't want to say anything more.
Lowering her head, Nicole took out a card from her bag. She reached out and handed it to Freya. "Mother, this card is small gif for you. You can buy something you like with it.
Or you can also take the money to do what you need to do. Besides, from now on, I will give the living expense to Uncle Kelvin and Cherry every month."
Nicole didn't care about the money at all. She just wanted the family to be peaceful, so that Kerr could be happy. As the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she could also have a peaceful life.
"I know Mom doesn't like me, but it's true that I'm a member of the Gu family. Kerr didn't say it, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know. I hope mom can still be careful."
Kerr stood in front of the window. From their bedroom, he could see everything in the garden. Although Kerr didn't hear what Nicole and Freya said, he saw what Nicole was doing.
When Nicole pushed the bedroom door open, she saw Kerr standing in front of the window. It occurred to her that he could see their every move from there.
Nicole put her bag on the table nearby, walked behind him, stretched out her arms and hugged him from behind. "So Mr. Kerr is also peeping at others?"
With a smile in her eyes, Nicole joked, feeling the tension in Kerr's body.
Kerr raised his hand and held her in his arms. "Since my dear wife likes to eavesdrop. We should share the same hobby." Kerr took it for granted, "And you are my wife, not 'Others'."
He kissed on her forehead.
"Are you laughing at me?" Nicole raised her head and stared at Kerr.
Although the sarcasm in his words was not obvious, and he indulged her in every aspect, Nicole could still hear it.
Kerr shook his head slightly, "How dare I? Why did you give all your money to her?" Kerr knew that Nicole had her own savings before she was with him.
She saved it for Jay.
Nicole smiled faintly, "Because she is your mother. No matter what she had done, this fact can't be changed. She gave you life and gave me such a good husband. I'm very grateful to her.
It's my duty to take care of her for you." What Nicole said made sense.
