The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 85

"What are you doing here?"

When Nicole saw that Kerr had walked out in the rain, she asked quietly, but he didn't answer her question.

He took off his suit jacket and put it on her. Then he picked her up and quickly carried her into his car.

He brought out a dry towel from the compartment and carefully wiped Nicole's wet hair, ignoring his own, which was also soaked from the rain.

"What's wrong with you? It's pouring really hard. Why are you even here?"

Although Kerr didn't say a word since she began to ask, she knew her feeling wasn't wrong and he did look a little different from usual.

When he heard the last question, Kerr wrapped her up with the bath towel and adjusted the temperature in the car before he spoke to her softly.

"I missed you."

Since he left the Gu's ancestral home, he had been missing Nicole like crazy, as if only the sight of Nicole could bring him a little comfort.

"What happened?"

She handed Kerr a new towel to let him dry his hair, and looked at him with concern.

Looking at Nicole, Kerr pulled her into his arms and breathed in, her scent engulfing his senses. He felt like he had owned the whole world.

"Nicole, if I can give you whatever you want, will you stay with me? If I make you my one and only? If I said I've fallen in love with you?"

For the first time, he wanted someone to know how he felt.

He felt invincible, like he could let down all his defenses as long as he was with her, and show her his true self completely. It was as if he was not afraid that she would hurt him.

There was a look of astonishment on Nicole's face when she heard what Kerr said.

She didn't know why, but she believed him entirely. She could feel the sincerity in his words and it moved her.

Her once determined decision suddenly became hesitant.

"Kerr, don't say that. I... Hmm... "

Kerr brought his lips to hers, cutting her off from her thoughts.

Looking at the anxious look on Kerr's face, she wanted to stop him, but she clearly sensed that he was panicking. He seemed knackered, cautious and even rash.

His longing for Nicole was stronger than ever, but for the first time, he acted as though he was an impulsive teenager. Deep down in his heart, he was afraid that she would refuse him.

When she placed her hands on Kerr's warm chest, she gradually lost her will to push him away. She ended up giving in to him, collapsed in Kerr's arms and closed her eyes.

Her internal conflict was put on hold. Just as Avery had told her—"follow your heart." Right now, she wanted him. She allowed herself to surrender to this man, just this once. Nicole put her arms around Kerr's neck and enjoyed his warmth.

The violent thunderstorm continued to pour outside the car.

"You love me too, right?" he asked her, softly.

Not receiving a response, Kerr looked at the woman who was asleep in his arms. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes any longer. He bent down and gently kissed Nicole on the forehead. He transferred to the driver's seat and drove away from the city's noise.
