The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 272 Didn't Dare To Take The Risk

"Miss He is carrying a child of the Gu family's bloodline. Once the baby is born, her child will be accepted by your father as his own grandchild.

If you want to stay with Nicole, you must be well prepared. Your father won't give up easily." Kelvin told the whole truth.

There was no surprise on Kerr's face when he heard Kelvin.

Being a member of Gu family, he knew perfectly well about that family's power, and the rigidness of their temperament. They would never change their mind.

"You can leave now." Kerr didn't want to make things difficult for Kelvin, and he knew that his powers were limited. In fact, he had already betrayed Jack by saying what he said.

Kerr turned around and extended his hand to take Jay away.

However, Jay looked back at Kelvin. His big eyes blinked as if he was unwilling to leave him.

"Master, I know you don't trust me, but you should know that if I stay here, it would provide a safety net for you and Nicole. Maybe we can do something to cheat your father." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After saying that, Kelvin lowered his head with guilt. He had served Jack for so many years, but this little child had completely won him over.

Nonetheless, it was his own choice. Even if he was really kicked out of the Gu family someday for doing this, he would have no regrets.

"Why should I trust you?" Kerr didn't lend his trust to anyone easily, let alone someone who was close to Jack.

"I believe you, Grandpa Kelvin." A childish voice interrupted their conversation. With one hand holding Kerr's, Jay held Kelvin's with the other hand.

His small face went back and forth between the grown-ups, and his big eyes narrowed slightly.

Nicole was surprised, but she seemed to understand what Jay was doing. She looked admiringly at her precocious son. Jay actually knew how to turn an enemy into a friend.

Nicole came up to Kerr, held his hand and said, "We should try to be friends instead of fighting against each other. Kerr, people change. Let's try to believe him, okay?"

She believed in Jay's judgment. Even though Jay was just a child, Nicole knew that children had sensitive instincts for good from bad.

With his eyebrows furrowed, Kerr was hesitant. It was not that he didn’t dare to take a risk. It was just that he didn't dare to risk the lives of Nicole and Jay. He couldn't afford to put either of them in danger.

"Do you know what that means? If..." Before Kerr could say another word, Nicole raised her finger to her lips to make the "be quiet" sign.

"There is no 'if'. I know you will protect us. Don't be so nervous, Kerr. Life isn't as bad as we think." Ten minutes before, Nicole had still been worried to death!

But ten minutes later, she had figured it out. Maybe it was because of the baby in her belly, Nicole had become willing to believe in the beauty of the world.

Glancing at Kelvin, Kerr didn't say anything. Finally, he looked at Jay. "We'll hold you responsible for your judgment this time."

With that said, Kerr led them all back to the hotel.

Jay was overjoyed by the results of his efforts. He smiled at Kelvin behind him and said, "Grandpa Kelvin, you can invite me to have dinner in the future and you don’t have to hide it from others from now on."

"Did you have no doubts about me?" Kelvin nodded and asked. He was still amazed that this child was so brave.

Jay shook his head. "I had no doubts at all. In fact, I was sure that when you found me, you actually wanted to kill me, or wanted to threaten my mommy to leave the old man.

But it doesn't matter. What matters is that you didn't do that." Jay said it casually. His honesty and frankness were amazing to Kelvin and Harley.

Harley thought he had misheard. He couldn't believe that a six-year-old child would speak such words.

When Kerr and Nicole returned to the hotel room, the frown on Kerr's face made her feel guilty about the situation. "Do you blame me for making that decision just now, Kerr?"

She had promised to Kerr that she would leave everything up to him, but at a critical moment, she couldn't help but intervene. Her faith in her son was too strong to resist.

"No, don't think about it anymore. I was just wondering what the Xue family is up to. It's obvious that they are here for us."

Even though Kerr knew that Kelvin was not a threat, this didn't mean that they were out of danger already.

"Do you mean Ben and Lisa?" Nicole also felt something wrong. She leaned against Kerr and recalled the events of the day.

"I don't feel any hostility from Ben, but as for Lisa... Didn't you say that she fell in love with you at first sight? How do you feel?"

She looked sideways at Kerr with an obvious hint in her eyes, as if she would immediately teach him a lesson if he dared to say anything good about Lisa.

"I don't know. All the women in the world mean nothing to me, except you," Kerr replied naturally, feeling that there was no need to lie.

"That's more like it." Nicole nodded with satisfaction and the corners of her mouth rose in a slight smile. "I believe you. Even when Ben showed me the photo of you and Lisa, I never doubted you."

She felt perfect confidence in him.

Kerr kissed her forehead as a gesture of gratitude. "You must be tired after such a long day. Go to bed early. Don't worry. I'll be with you soon.

As long as you trust me, nothing can ever separate us." Nicole lay in the bed and closed her eyes slowly, but Kerr couldn't fall asleep.

He was perplexed by the Xue family and couldn't stop wondering about their intentions. Kelvin was their friend now, but not everything had been settled.

"I believe you. Even if you lie on the same bed with another woman, I will believe you if you tell me nothing happened between the two of you," Nicole said lightly with her eyes closed.

Then she fell asleep. In her dream, she seemed to be in her childhood again.

A little girl was toddling unsteadily toward the fountain in the yard of the Xue family’s manor, with an innocent and pure smile on her little face.

"Rachel! Rachel!" In her sleep, she continuously heard someone calling this name from behind her.

Then she turned around, and saw a six or seven-year-old boy in front of her.
