The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 278 I Will Love You Forever

Kerr heaved a sigh and thought about this for a moment. He knew that it was really the best time, but he wasn't sure if he was prepared to place Nicole and their family at risk. After a while, he nodded and said, "I will think about it. Just don't mention this to Nicole for now, or she will just be put into more stress. For now, contact Uncle Kelvin. There is something I want to talk to him about."

Satisfied with Kerr's response, Jared nodded and turned around to call Kelvin. Having made Kelvin side with them was quite a wise decision.

Moreover, they had to admit that Jay's plan did solve them a lot of trouble. At least, especially at this crucial times, it was more convenient for them to have someone in the Gu family to relay some information to them.

Meanwhile, Nicole sat on the rocking chair as she felt tired. Ever since her belly was getting bigger and heavier, she had been feeling easily tired lately and even found it harder to move. Reclining the chair, she gave a sideways glance at Kerr, who was immersed in his work. She smiled at the sight of Kerr and felt only peace and happiness in her heart.

Feeling Nicole's gaze on him, Kerr asked without looking away from his laptop. "Aren't you tired of looking at me like this every day?" Then, he closed his laptop, set it aside, and walked towards Nicole. He squatted beside her to be on the same eye level and placed his arm across the back of her chair.

With his free hand, he fondled with her hair and looked at her with gentle and soft eyes.

Nicole felt her face flush at how close Kerr was to her. Before she could get lost into his loving eyes, she answered him, "Of course not. Why would I? Besides, I chose to spend the rest of my life with you, so how could I get bored with you? Why ask? Are you bored here? Shall we go back?" Nicole had a faint feeling and tried to make her own assumptions in her head, because Kerr wouldn't tell her anything that might cause her to be stressed out. She completely understood, but she also wanted to

be there for Kerr. In fact, Kerr told her that this was a honeymoon, but almost half a year had passed, and they were still here.

Besides, the Gu family couldn't lay a finger on her, because Kelvin was helping them. It was also because Kerr had put in a lot of effort to protect her and Jay, so that she would be able to enjoy such a peaceful life.

Then again, that didn't mean they could lead a safe and peaceful life forever. Nothing was permanent in this world.

Stroking her hair, Kerr shook his head and replied, "The environment here is more suitable for you to nourish the baby. Seeing you at peace and often smiling made me decide that you should give birth to the baby here before we decide whether to go back."

Kerr would never place Nicole in any danger, and coming back to a place full of wolves when she could even barely stand up on her own made Kerr worry about her safety.

Nicole was about to speak, but she was interrupted when she saw Jared walking hastily towards them. "Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, but Kelvin is here."

It was supposed to be a good thing that Kelvin was here, but looking at how anxious Jared was, Kerr knew that something was wrong. Even Nicole sensed an obvious uneasiness, which made her look at Kerr with concern. However, Kerr only gave her a kiss on the forehead before rising to his feet.

"I’ll meet him in the living room," he replied to Jared. With a quick assuring smile at Nicole, Kerr then followed Jared to the living room. He did not want Nicole to hear their conversation and be bothered by the Gu family's affairs. She was already dragged into this mess the moment she had gotten together with Kerr, so he did not want her to get involved with it even more.

Nicole pouted, but she understood why Kerr did not want to take her with him and did not insist any further. However, ten minutes had passed since, and driven by worry and curiosity, she quietly walked towards the door of the living room.

Since the sofa was quite far from the door of the living room, she could only vaguely hear something as she eavesdropped on their conversation.

In the living room, Kelvin looked at Kerr anxiously and said, "Master, the Gu Group is in a crisis now. Even though your father hasn't given any orders yet, he has already decided to let you back to the Gu Group. Moreover, Miss He has given birth to a boy, and your father got that news too."

This was way out of their expectations. In the past few months, it turned out that Kerr wasn't the only one looking for Sunny. Jack, too, was looking for her.

However, none of them had any progress until now that Jack had received this very news. Kelvin could tell that Jack was already looking forward to it, even though he hadn't seen Sunny nor her child yet.

"She gave birth?" Kerr asked in disbelief. A deep frown marred Kerr's face as he thought about this. How could Sunny give birth to the child earlier than Nicole? Then again, this news just confirmed Kerr's assumptions. Sunny did hide herself away from everybody to protect her baby and made sure that she would be able to have it in the end.

With a frustrated look on his face, Kerr asked coldly, "Where is she?" As a matter of fact, he did not care at all about Sunny or even the baby. All he cared about was wanting to do the DNA test with the child.

After all, he had promised Nicole that he would give her the peace in mind.

"Unfortunately, there is still no news about her whereabouts. Since the news of her childbirth was released by the He family, it seems like Daniel has something to do with why Sunny and her baby

haven't shown up yet in public," Kelvin responded.

Seeing the look on Kerr's face, Kelvin became even more worried about Kerr. Before he came here, Jack had asked him to persuade Kerr to return to the Gu Group. That was why he wasted no time and took advantage of this opportunity in case something would come up that would change Jack's mind.

Meanwhile, Nicole, who was still eavesdropping, was shocked when she heard what they were talking about. 'How could Sunny give birth to that baby prematurely? As far as I know, Sunny is just seven months pregnant,' she thought to herself. Then, she thought about how careless and irresponsible Sunny was. She risked the life of her child just so she could satisfy her desires.

At this moment, Nicole could not hold back her anger and frustration anymore. She opened the door and walked inside the room, making everyone turn to her. With a serious face, she asked Kelvin, "Uncle Kelvin, what is going on?"

Seeing Nicole walk in, Kelvin stood up and nodded at her as a greeting. Before, for the past few months, Kelvin rarely greeted her, because he thought this woman was just a distraction to Kerr.

However, he finally realized how kind and lovely Nicole was. Then again, once you got to know her, the real her, you could not help but want to be close to her. Kelvin finally understood why Kerr was willing to choose her over the Gu family.

"Nicole, as of now, I still don't know any specific details. All we know is that Sunny has indeed given birth to the child before the baby was due. More importantly, we can't jump into hasty conclusions, since we haven't seen Sunny and the baby yet. Then again, before I came here, Daniel had announced that he would let the Gu family see the baby after a month," Kelvin replied respectfully.

He was also worried that this month might just be the last peaceful time Kerr and Nicole could have now. He thought and hoped not.

Kerr gestured for Kelvin to sit back down as he stood up and walked over to Nicole. He placed a hand on her waist and helped her sit beside him on the sofa. As soon as they were settled, Kerr assured her, "Don't worry. I'll find the child as soon as possible, so we can get this paternity test done right away."

He reached for her hand to hold onto his, knowing that Nicole was still worried about this.

However, Nicole shook her head and said, "No, I no longer care about who the child's father is. I believe in you. What I worry about more is the Gu Group. After Moore replaced you in the company, problems have risen, haven't they?"

She looked at Kerr with concern. Although Kerr had told her that he would be willing to give up Gu Group, Nicole still could not let him, since she knew how much Kerr had worked for the company for the past several years. He had shed blood, sweat, and tears for the company to stand where it was now and gain that enough reputation, but now, someone was trying to ruin his hard-earned work. Besides, she knew that he would not give it up that easily.

She also was certain that in Kerr's mind, he had to make a choice between her and the Gu Group, and that seeing where he took her, he had clearly chosen her over the company without any hesitation at all. However, Nicole did not want that Kerr had to make a decision at all. She wanted to be there for him every step of the way and to make him feel at ease that she would be fine even if he took back the position now. All this she wanted Kerr to realize.

Kerr gave Nicole a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry about it, my dear. It is not that big of a deal." Then, without waiting for Nicole's reply, he turned his head to Jared, who was standing behind him. "Call Harley and tell him to come back."

Ever since Harley met Lisa, he seldom stayed with Kerr. He even came back to D Island every few days just to see Lisa and spend time with her.

Then again, Kerr had never worried about Harley's private affairs. Harley was already a mature man on his own and could even make good decisions for himself. But now, Kerr needed Harley to get this paternity test done as soon as possible.

Jared nodded in understanding and walked a few meters away from them to call Harley. As soon as the call connected, they all heard a phone ringing just by the door, making them all turn towards that direction.

"There is no need to call me, because I am back," Harley said, raising his ringing phone in front of them. Then, he walked inside the living room, but he wasn't alone. Behind him, Lisa walked in and stood beside Harley.

As soon as Lisa entered and saw Kerr and Nicole once again, the corners of her mouth slightly quirked up. This time, however, she wasn't wearing any heavy make-up or seducing outfits. Her face looked pure and clean.

"Long time no see," Lisa said as she looked at Nicole with sincerity.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
