The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 81

Baron knew that Nicole could understand the subtle message he was trying to give her.

With an awkward smile, Nicole lowered her head and ate her steak earnestly.

She wanted to work hard, but her own boss forbade her to work for the day!

Avery felt as if their meeting was too short to make up for lost time. She had an idea. "Nicole, aren't you feeling a little tired? Do you want to go to my place tonight? I've really missed you, and we still have a lot to talk about."

She looked at Nicole. They hadn't seen each other for years, so she naturally had a lot to ask Nicole. She couldn't possibly let her go so quickly.

"Sure! That sounds good to me. I've missed you a lot too. I can stay at your house tonight. We have a lot to catch up on."

After what happened with Kerr, Nicole was glad she was away from him. She didn't know how to face Kerr. Though Avery saved her, she was a little worried about Jay when he was with Kerr.

But she didn't have a lot of time left. She would leave with Jay after the bidding. She wanted to give the father and son a bit of time to be with each other.

When he saw Nicole's reaction, Barron felt even more depressed.

He could sense that there must be something going on between Nicole and Kerr that he didn't know of. If she was eager to avoid Kerr like this, it must be something big.

"I'll drive you there. I still have some business to discuss with you."

Baron wouldn't give her up so easily.

"Okay."

Nicole reluctantly agreed. The meal went on for quite a while to her, but she still didn't feel that it was enough. They left the restaurant. Nicole walked to Baron's car, while Avery walked to hers.

On the drive over, Baron couldn't help but acknowledge the elephant in the room. "What happened between you and Kerr?"

He followed the red Ferrari with Nicole beside him.

"It was nothing. It was just sex."

She didn't intend to lie to him. It was not like it was the first time she had slept with Kerr.

However, unlike seven years ago, she couldn't just shrug this off as if nothing happened. She could deny it, but sleeping with Kerr again was affecting her more than it should.

"Nicole, do you know what you are doing?"

They'd known each other for years, and for the first time, Baron's gentle face darkened when he heard Nicole's response.

He had seen through her facade, which meant that she cared about Kerr very much. It was not a wise choice for the both of them.

His fears had come to fruition.

"I know. As I said, it was just an accident. I didn't expect it. Stop worrying. I already have an agreement with Kerr. As soon as the bidding is over, I will bring Jay back to Manhattan and will never come back."

Maybe it was a mistake for her to come back from the beginning, but now it was time to correct it.

She refused to admit that she longed to feel Kerr's tenderness and consideration.

"It's good to know you're aware of who you're dealing with, and I understand that Kerr's identity means a lot to you. After all, he is Jay's biological father, but you should know that he is not an ordinary person.

There won't be just a single woman by Kerr's side, even if he gets married and has a wife. I heard that the Gu family doesn't allow him to just focus on a woman."

Even though Kerr was her son's father, Baron wanted Nicole to realize that Kerr wasn't the right guy for her.
