The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 279 She Is My Woman

Lisa didn't fix her eyes on Kerr as before.

Nicole was slightly surprised by what she saw. She looked at Lisa and said, "Miss Xue, I haven't seen you for a long time." Lisa and Harley were holding hands intimately, so Nicole knew what was going on.

"It seems that Harley has won your heart." Nicole felt happy for them.

Harley was a little embarrassed to hear himself spoken about by Nicole in that way, but he extended his arms to Lisa and held her in his embrace. He fixed his eyes on her dotingly.

Kerr had been silent until that moment, when he gave a slight cough. He reminded Harley to discuss this emergency with him first.

When Harley heard Kerr's voice, he came back to his senses. He sat on the sofa with Lisa and began to explain, "I received an anonymous email from home this morning.

The email clearly established that Sunny gave birth to a boy early through C-section. The operation was performed because she wanted to give birth to her child before Nicole. However, because the delivery was premature, the child is very weak

They have to keep the baby in an incubator for a month. That's why Sunny hasn’t appeared yet." Thinking of the e-mail, Harley frowned pensively and decided not to tell Kerr precisely where he got the message.

But he couldn’t hide it from Kerr.

Glancing at Harley, Kerr asked, "Who told you that?"

"I don't know. It was an anonymous email. But it seems like it was from Harrow." It had been a long time since Harley had heard anything from Harrow.

As time passed, Harley almost forgot that he ever knew the man.

Kerr frowned. Harrow had disappeared for no reason and suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so there must be something strange going on with him.

"Sir, if that's the case, you'd better come back home as soon as possible. Seize the opportunity that has been given to you. The Gu Group is desperate to want you back."

Having been in the Gu family for a lifetime, Kelvin naturally regarded it as his own home, and everything he did was for the sake of that family.

Nicole looked at Kerr and touched his arm. "Maybe it's time for you to go back. It's your home, after all. You will have to go back sooner or later. Don't worry. I will take care of our baby, and I will stay safe."

Nicole remembered the reason why Kerr left the Gu family in the first place. It was on her account, because he wanted to marry her. As his wife, Nicole naturally knew what he wanted most.

Kerr looked at Nicole and his face darkened. "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to stay at our hometown? This is the most critical period for you and the baby. If something went wrong, I would lose two lives.

I can't take the risk." Kerr shook his head.

Before Nicole could say anything, she heard Lisa's voice. "Mr. Gu, if you are really so worried about Mrs. Gu's safety, then I would like to make a suggestion for her sake.

Mrs. Gu and Jay can come back to D Island with me. On D Island, as long as the Xue family is there, I can assure you that nothing will happen to her and the baby in her belly."

Lisa looked at Nicole with serious and gentle concern in her eyes.

Nicole was taken aback by Lisa's offer. In fact, she never thought of Lisa as a bad woman, in spite of that time when she tried to seduce Kerr.

And it seemed that Lisa had never actually had the desire to interfere with her marriage at all. She was not like Sunny. So Nicole was curious about what Lisa's motives.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xue. I have a question. I apologize if this question makes you feel uncomfortable, but I'm really curious about it. Why did you want to get close to me and Kerr before?

From the moment when Mr. Xue showed up with Callie in front of me and my son, to your meeting with Kerr on Mr. Xue's behalf, and even when you told me you fancied Kerr, what has all this been for?"

Everyone's eyes fell upon Lisa at once, including Harley's. He knew nothing about it himself.

When he told Kerr that he had fallen in love with her, Kerr had once reminded him to keep a wary eye on Lisa. At that time, Harley didn't take his words seriously as he didn't see any reason for Kerr's suspicion.

"Were you really interested in Kerr?" Harley frowned slightly as he asked Lisa.

Lisa just smiled faintly and didn't look at Harley beside her. She met Nicole's eyes steadily, and said, "Mrs. Gu, I'm really sad to hear that. My offer is extended to you in sincerity.

I just wanted to help you get rid of some trouble. If I told you that all this was just a coincidence, would you believe me?" Lisa had a kind and gentle smile on her face the whole time. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She seemed perfectly innocent, so that no one had the heart to doubt her.

Nicole, however, could tell that Lisa was hiding something, but she knew Lisa wouldn't reveal the truth, even if she continued to ask about it. So Nicole looked at Kerr, feeling doubtful about Lisa's offer.

"I'm willing to believe Aunt Lisa." Jay came in from the balcony and approached Lisa like a gentleman, then he bowed slightly to her in greeting. "Nice to meet you, Aunt Lisa. I'm Jay.

This is the first time we've met, but I think you look as friendly and nice as my mommy. Do you like me?" Jay looked at Lisa seriously with his big eyes.

It was as if he had some sort of expectation in his eyes.

Lisa's eyes were filled with surprise, and she was charmed by Jay's self-introduction. "You are so cute!" Lisa then extended her hand and touched Jay's face.

But then Jay grasped her hand and kissed the back of it like a little gentleman. This was the first time that a little kid had done something like that to her.

"Hey! Watch out, kid, this is my woman!" Harley took Lisa’s hand from Jay and warned him.

Lisa looked at Jay affectionately.

"Let me have a look at this little cutie pie." Lisa didn't pay any attention to Harley. She picked up Jay and set him upon her leg. "You have grown up quite a bit,"

Lisa said with a smile.

Jay looked at Lisa with curiosity. "Aunt, have you ever seen me before?"

Lisa was stunned for a while, but she soon came back to her senses. "I often heard your uncle Harley mention you, so I am curious about you. I thought you were still little, but I didn't expect you to be so tall already."
