The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 89

Kerr's expression held a smug look as he replied, "I'm afraid I don't see things the way you do, Mr. Fang. That's the difference between the two of us, I presume. Frankly speaking, I have never, nor will I ever, agree to marrying the woman who was arranged for me by my family. Sunny He may be the girl my parents see as the Gu family's future daughter-in-law, but nobody can make my decisions for me.

But I suppose, that is not the way you do things, isn't it? Your life has been planned out and you intended to follow through. I have heard that Mrs. Fang has arranged a fiancee for you. In any case, we're expecting to hear good news from you soon. I will certainly send you a big gift to congratulate you then."

He started the car and drove away.

If there was still any doubt in his mind in the past, it most certainly vanished at that instant. Kerr had become more determined to stay with Nicole. He had given her his word, and no man or woman on earth could make him break it.

Watching Kerr drive away, Baron clenched his hands into fists and his eyes held deep hatred for the man.

In the apartment

Nicole bathed Jay and put him on the bed.

"Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight?"

The little boy widened his big, innocent eyes and looked at his mother, pleading.

Hearing Jay's words, Nicole was taken aback. She nodded and agreed. These days, she had really neglected her son for various reasons. Although she had been worrying about him all the time, she didn't have a lot of time to spend with him.

"Okay, but can you tell me the reason honestly?"

Nicole knew that Jay had hidden something from her. Although Jay looked very happy, she knew that he had something on his mind.

"Mommy, do you mean the reason why we left Uncle Gu's house? Because I suddenly understand what you meant. You were right. I was too naive in the past, and now I realize that I was wrong."

Jay lowered his head in apology.

Looking at her son, Nicole sighed and held him in her arms. She tucked him in. It seemed that she needed to dig a little deeper to find out what happened.

When he felt the warm embrace of his mother, a sense of satisfaction finally emerged on Jay's face.

"Mommy, aren't you thinking of going back to Manhattan? Uncle Fang told me that we would go back there after you finished your work?"

If possible, he also wanted to go back to Manhattan. Although his father wasn't there, his mother wasn't hurt. He could grow up quickly and then protect his mother.

"Mommy, don't worry. I will grow up as soon as possible and take good care of you. Even if Daddy is not with you, I won't let others bully you."

Jay promised Nicole earnestly.

"Don't be silly. The only thing I could ever hope for is for you to grow up healthy and happy. If that happens I'll be the happiest mother in the world. I don't want anything else."

It was Jay's existence that made her life full of hope. Therefore, no matter what happened, her biggest wish was the health and happiness of Jay.

Lying next to her precious son, Nicole looked out the window at the quiet night sky. The lonely figure of Kerr appeared in her mind. He was very special to her today.

But life had a funny way of messing around with her. When all she wanted to do was to avoid Kerr at all costs, she was constantly pushed towards him. Yet now that she finally realized that she had fallen in love with him, she was suddenly given reasons to leave him.
