The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 69

But Kerr knew that her lie wouldn't affect his decision whether it was a real lie or not.

Nicole avoided the eye contact with the man standing in front of her as she heard his words with a guilty conscience.

"You listened to me and believed in my words."

Nicole saw herself in a weak position since she stopped being confident towards the presence of Kerr, which made her voice turn lower and shyer for the very first time.

And of course, Kerr would take advantage of that and would kiss her since she lowered her guard.

Her heart started galloping like a horse as she felt his aura getting closer to her. Suddenly, Jay's little voice could be heard just when she was hopeless to do anything to stop Kerr.

Thanks to Jay, Nicole was able to get rid of his arms.

"Mom! There are a lot of Rubik cubes here! Can we stay tonight please?"

Although Jay noticed that there was something wrong between her mother and Kerr, he was too young to sense the weight of the situation. Therefore, he just focused on the Rubik cubes. Moreover, it was more important to find an excuse to make his mother stay here.

"Yes honey, you can play with those all the time you want."

Kerr landed his confident eyes on her as he leaned back against the wall that was behind him.

It seemed that Nicole's rejection didn't even tickle him at all.

It was Jay who helped him make Nicole stay in his villa. Little did Kerr expect at the time that it was also Jay who would take Nicole away from his villa later.

Nicole didn't feel comfortable yet and was still hesitating, but she already heard Jay's cheer.

"You're the best Mom! How fun! And thank you for letting us stay tonight, Uncle Gu! Where am I going to sleep? Is there a bedroom for me?"

Jay asked naturally as if he was at his own home while he was walking towards the elevator. He felt a bit strange though since it wasn't actually his home.

"Don't worry, boy. I will take you there."

Vedder grabbed Jay's tiny hand and led their way to the guest's room which was next to Kerr's room. However, Vedder couldn't believe that Kerr would allow someone to be playing around with his stuff.

Kerr's personal collection was on the third floor and it was supposed to be a forbidden place. But it was Jay's unique moment to have the chance to enjoy Kerr's collection.

It seemed that Kerr had too much love and appreciation for the kid.

As long as Jay was glad and satisfied, Nicole would never feel regret. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and turn around so she could say something to Kerr.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Gu. We'll stay here for just one night and I'll leave with Jay tomorrow. Sorry for the trouble."

Her voice turned estranged and polite as she said these words to Kerr.

"Honestly, I won't be troubled if both of you spend the night here. Your place is too far from Jay's school, but if you take off from here tomorrow morning, then Jay won't be late. And you're busy with the bidding these days. So, it is pretty convenient for you if you just stay here at my place. And by the way, it seems that Jay is the happiest person right now.

Don't get me wrong though, I know what you are thinking. I can assure you with ease that I am not like Baron. You won't see anything about you and Jay in the news tomorrow.

I know myself and I can tell you that I'm capable of taking care of you and Jay."

As for her weak spot, he would always protect her whenever she was vulnerable.

Although Vedder could see Kerr's fondness of Nicole, he was still shocked that Kerr had already made up his mind and had taken the decision to marry her.

"But... What about the kid, Jay Ning?"

Vedder obviously noticed that Jay was carrying his mother's surname, which indicated him that if Kerr married her, he not only would become a husband but also a stepfather. He started wondering if that situation would be favorable for the Gu family. He started to hesitate as he thought too much about Kerr's decision.

"You know I really appreciate your advice, Uncle Vedder. But you don't need to say anything about it. My mind and heart have never been so clear."

Kerr understood Vedder's worries. But Kerr knew from the very beginning that Jay would never be such pain and an obstacle between him and Nicole.

He knew that there was only one thing that could make his desire difficult to achieve as far as he was concerned. And that obstacle was Nicole's willingness.

Vedder couldn't help but shake his head helplessly as he looked how serious Kerr was with his words and intentions. After all, Vedder was also part of the Gu family and he would do anything to maintain its legacy, even more when it came to Kerr's love interest.

"According to my experience Master, I believe that we should discuss this matter with the Lord and the Lady."

Kerr felt a fire which burned inside of him while his eyes were filled with anger as he heard Vedder's suggestion.

"And according to my experience, Uncle Vedder, I believe that no one would dare to tell me how I should make my own decisions. How am I supposed to take the full lead of this company if you won't even let me to choose my wife?"

Kerr had never been so serious with somebody. He kept his fierce eyes on Vedder.
