Chapter 269 Don't Get Out Of My Sight Again
Ben Xue looked at Nicole, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He could tell that she was very smart, but he didn't expect her to be so sensitive. After hearing no more than a few tentative questions, she had already deduced everything.
However, it was not the right time for him to tell her everything. "Ms. Ning, you are really imaginative, but I don't know what you mean.
It's time for dinner, but it seems like you have no intention to stay. I'm sorry to know that." Ben stood up and faced Nicole.
"If you want to go back, I can send you and your son back."
Seeing how frank Ben was, Nicole felt a little uncertain. There was a possibility that she was just overthinking it, but she had a very good intuition. Regardless, she had to go back to Kerr first.
She had to ask Kerr before she could make a decision.
"Thank you, Mr. Xue. My husband must be waiting for me to have dinner with him. I'd better leave now." Nicole stood up and put down the glass of milk in her hand. She hadn't taken a sip of it.
"Jay, it's time to go home." Nicole called her son and started walking towards the gate of the manor.
After saying goodbye to Callie, Jay took Nicole's hand and got in the Rolls Royce.
The car stopped in front of the door of the hotel. After Nicole and Jay got out, they watched the car as it drove out of their sight.
"Mommy, Callie's father is not a normal man." With his head tilted to one side, Jay looked at Nicole. "I tried to study Callie's background last night, but I got nothing about her and her father.
And when we were in the Xue family's house just now, the signal was completely blocked." Jay had discovered this earlier, but he didn't say anything about it in the Xue family's house.
Nicole nodded as she looked at the back of the car thoughtfully. All of a sudden, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She looked at the name on the screen and answered the call.
"Where are you?" Kerr had been calling her since he found that she was missing.
He had called her so many times.
Hearing the slightly gasping voice of Kerr on the other side of the line, Nicole knew that he was out looking for her. "I'm at the door of the hotel with Jay. I'm fine. Don't worry. Where are you?"
The corners of Nicole's mouth slightly curled up as she spoke calmly. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Wait for me there. I'll be right there. Don't hang up the phone." After Kerr spoke with Nicole, he got into his car and drove to the hotel at once.
He had searched the surroundings of the hotel to look for Nicole aimlessly earlier.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll wait for you here." She could feel how much he cared for her, so she didn't doubt him.
"Tell me, where have you been?" Kerr knew that she must have come out for a reason. Otherwise, he could have gotten in touch with her. After all, very few people in the world could block his signal.
"I don't know where the place was and I can't find it now. But I don't think they wanted to harm me, or I wouldn't have been able to come back safe and sound."
"Where did you go today? Don't tell me you went to see a woman who was wearing red clothes." Nicole tried to sound him out on purpose.
As a matter of fact, Nicole was aware that the photo wasn't photoshopped, but Kerr didn't tell her in advance, so she wanted to teach him a lesson.
With his hands on the steering wheel, the nervous expression on Kerr's face froze when he heard this.
"You were in that restaurant? You left the hotel because of this?" Kerr knew that Nicole wasn't a rash girl.
And he knew that if Nicole were in that restaurant, she would have run to him directly.
"Kerr, my instinct is telling me that someone is plotting against us, but I don't know what kind of person he is and I don't think he means any harm." Nicole knew that Kerr was just worried about her.
As expected, after a short while, she saw Kerr's car in the distance. Then, she saw him looking at her through the glass window as he got closer to her.
She put down her phone with a smile. "Jay, go back to your room," Nicole said to Jay.
Jay looked at Kerr and remembered that Kerr had helped him last night. So he decided to leave Nicole with Kerr, and he meekly turned to walk towards his room.
As soon as the car stopped, Kerr got out of the car, walked up to Nicole, and took her in his arms.
Standing not far away from them, Jay looked at Kerr and Nicole and shook his head helplessly. He began to believe that they actually loved each other deeply.
"Don't get out of my sight again." A sense of relief washed over Kerr. He felt like he had lost everything during the time that Nicole was away.
But Kerr wouldn't give up until the last minute. He knew very well that Nicole was also anxious to see him. Knowing that his loved one was also waiting for him made his time of waiting meaningful.
Nicole nodded. "I know. I should have told you." Knowing that Kerr was worried sick about her, she gently patted him on the back.
"But you didn't tell me that you were going to meet a beautiful woman either." She let go of him as dissatisfaction appeared in her eyes and she deliberately glared at him.
Putting his hand on Nicole's belly, Kerr breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect that to happen. I contacted the inheritor of the most powerful family in D Island because I wanted to discuss a cooperation with them.
But the man didn't show up, and a woman came instead. Then, I left the restaurant and got a call from Harley, telling me that you and Jay were missing." There was a touch of sadness in his voice.
Nicole pinched Kerr's ear and said, "Do you regret it? She's such a beautiful girl. Are you sure you didn't have a crush on her?" She pretended to be angry and looked at him with affection.
"I have asked Jared to tell them that I have canceled the cooperation," Kerr said righteously. He was willing to make any sacrifice in order to make Nicole feel at ease.
To him, Nicole's smile was the most important thing in the world.
Nicole was a little surprised to hear this. "You gave up such a good opportunity? Why? Just because they sent a woman to talk business with you?" That was a little bit over the top.
