The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 49 Miss, Who Are You

Still feeling downcast, Ken lowered his head and leaned against the wall. He refused to meet Kerr's piercing gaze.

"My father is serious this time. If I don't marry the daughter of the Wen family, he will kick me out of the Qin family. Now he has suspended all the assets in my account,"

he gloomily confided. It never occurred to him that the situation would turn rather serious this time. Considering his father's firm attitude, he did not want to compromise at all. His father had left him with no other choice. After all, marriage was an important event in a person's life.

He wouldn't marry a person he didn't like. It was not his thing. He would preferably go roaming alone, which was much better than being bothered by a nuisance all day long.

"What's your plan?"

Kerr inquired. There was a fleeting and complicated emotion in his eyes when he learned his predicament. But sadly, Ken couldn't disobey his father's will. So even though he sympathized with him, he couldn't help him against his father's will.

Ken instantly raised his head and looked at him with total disbelief.

"Really? Bro, don't you want to help me?"

Ken had anticipated that Kerr would offer to support him without hesitation, but with the way he acted now, it was apparent that he didn't care about him.

"It's your own business,"

Kerr uttered dismissively before turning around and headed into the ward, leaving Ken feeling all alone on the same spot.

When he emerged from the door outside, he observed how Nicole struggled with the food in front of her. She was munching her food in a way too fast that clearly showed she was starving.

He suddenly felt regretful, thinking it was his fault that he forgot to remind her to grab some breakfast before heading for work.

But when he recalled what transpired that morning, he couldn't help pulling a long face.

"I'm so full..."

Nicole touched her round belly, feeling hugely satisfied. Her face showed she was pleased as she mulled over that there was nothing in the world that can't be solved by food.

"What... Have you had breakfast?"

Strangely, she asked him out of her impulse when she recognized Kerr walking towards her, the moment she lifted her head. Looking down, she was lost for words as she realized what she did. The food was good for two people, and yet she gobbled them all with gusto!

She was so embarrassed that she absolutely wanted to dig a hole and quietly bury herself. 'Anyway, Kerr must have told me that he had eaten,' she thought inwardly.

"No, I haven't."

Keenly observing the way her face turned crimson red, he couldn't help but want to tease her. 'Just a little bit,' he chuckled to himself, clearly enjoying this sight of her.

His heart was mesmerized by her honesty. She was so candid that it made him sense something he had never felt and seen before.

"Ah! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

She gawked up at him, seemingly slightly annoyed.

'Humph! It's none of my business. Why didn't he tell me earlier?' she thought, feeling displeased.

But how she felt was immediately replaced by guilt. Images of the way Kerr sent her to the hospital earlier, in such a hurry, vividly flashed in her mind. And it softened her heart a little.

"I didn't expect you have such a good appetite,"

noticing that the table was a bit messy, he stated rather bluntly. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

And since he was unable to stop himself, he quietly watched her blush again, and it fascinated him more. He knew, he was captivated by this shy woman in front of him.

She was so delicately charming that he selfishly thought to hide her away from others.

Outside the ward, Ken badly wanted to barge inside and desperately sought for Kerr's opinion. After a few moments of reflection, he summoned his courage and decided to go in. Just as he was about to inch forward, he was startled by someone who suddenly appeared behind him.

"Bastard, I finally found you."

Seething with anger, Bonnie forcibly slapped on Ken's back.

A couple of days ago, she received a cheque from him. Though she was initially hesitant for such a time, she finally scribbled down two hundred thousand on it. And in all honesty, she didn't want to convert it to cash, if possible.

But she was in a desperate situation. So even though it was against her will, she directly went to the bank. Right there and then, she learned that all the assets of Ken were held frozen. Explicitly, the cheque in her hand was useless as a waste paper.

Feeling the strain on his back, Ken swiftly turned his head in surprise. With a pained expression, he grimaced at the woman behind him. She looked quite strange to him.

"Miss, who are you?"

Ken gaped at the delicate face of the woman in front of him. She fumed in anger, and yet she looked quite childish.

Watching her closely, he could guarantee that the woman in front of him was no more than 20 years old. But he never remembered the women he had slept with. His brow furrowed in confusion as he stared at Bonnie.

The woman openly stared at him as if waiting for something. And for the first time, he felt like he thought she was a little cute.

"Bastard! You are a big liar! How dare you pretend that you don't know me at all! Pay me back the money!"

Hearing Ken's words, Bonnie flared and almost fainted out of her fury. Without an ounce of hesitation, she hurled at him obscene words as she stretched out her hand and swung intensely towards him.

She couldn't believe that she gave this man her first time! She clearly remembered that it was he who asked her to drink that glass of wine. And soon after that, she felt strange and that there was something wrong with her body.

Now, this liar dared to pretend not to know her. All the more, she even wanted to take him six feet below the ground.

"Miss, do we know each other? Please calm down! Don't fight! Don't push me. I never hit women!"

Ken exclaimed, almost out of breath as he continued to dodge the beating from Bonnie. He was a womanizer and was not easy to deal with, but he had his own principles. He never hurt a woman.

With a sigh of irritation, he firmly told himself that he had to avoid meeting her as much as possible.

"How dare you play dumb with me? Ken Qin! I will let you know what I can do today!"

Sizing him up in front of her, Bonnie quickly pushed her legs and jumped directly to Ken. Then without pity, she pinched his ears with both hands. Her livid emotion emanating from her eyes almost tore him up.

"You bastard! You made me lose my most precious thing, and now you even deny it! I can't live. You'll pay for it!"

Sensing her unexpected action, Ken stretched out his hands to hold her legs instinctively to prevent her from falling.

"Get your hands off me!"

Ken's eyes had teared up when he felt that his ears were almost pulled down by Bonnie. At this moment, he retracted his thoughts about her. This girl was not lovely at all. She was extremely irritating.

In the ward, both Kerr and Nicole heard the commotion outside.

Nicole frowned as she intently listened to the voice. It sounded like that of Bonnie's. So out of her curiosity, she looked at Kerr questioningly.

"What's wrong?"

Kerr opened the door to the ward. Immediately, there was a loud crash reverberated within the room. Ken was leaning against the door and fell on the ground without warning.

Still sitting on his laps, Bonnie lunged and grabbed him by the neck long before he could react, totally ignoring the stunned people in the room amidst the chaos.

"Bonnie?"

Nicole asked incredulously at the person who was steadily beating Ken in front of her. It was her sister, Bonnie. With a curious expression, she could only stare at her.

Bonnie paused when Nicole's voice registered on her. Sweeping her eyes to the voice's direction, she caught herself gazing at Nicole's surprised face too. With a flash of panic in her eyes, she loosened her grip on Ken subconsciously.
