The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 62 Don't Waste Food

She was absolutely angry. All she wanted was to choke Kerr to death, but since murder was against the law and she had her Jay to think of, she couldn't do anything that impulsive. Yes, impulsiveness was the devil.

"Jay!"

Nicole exclaimed. She checked the time on her wristwatch and was horrified when she realized that she had forgotten to pick up Jay from school.

"How come my mommy has been forgetting me a lot lately? I feel so sad!"

With his schoolbag still on his back, Jay walked towards his mom's office. As he was walking, he caught a glimpse of Kerr and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Uncle Gu!"

Nicole approached her son and saw Jared standing next to him.

"Mr. Kang, thank you for picking up Jay from school for me today."

Hearing the gratitude in Nicole's voice, Jared couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. He scratched his head and said,

"Mr. Gu asked me to do it. You can thank him if you want."

He didn't want to be involved anymore, so he immediately shifted Nicole's attention to Kerr and made sure to put in a good word for him.

If it hadn't been for him, she would have never forgotten to pick up her son. Besides, whatever she felt for Kerr the night before was totally gone by now.

"Mommy, you should thank Uncle Gu."

Noticing the look Nicole was giving Kerr, Jay knew that Kerr had made his mommy angry at him once again. He admired Kerr with all his heart, but he was also the only one who could make Nicole that angry.

In all his life, he had never seen his mommy be as angry as Kerr made her.

"I will make sure to thank him."

Nicole glared at Kerr and gritted her teeth. It was as if she was going to skin him alive.

"It's time for dinner. I've asked someone to prepare the food for you."

Kerr didn't care for Nicole's attitude at all, but he knew she must be hungry now given that she hadn't had lunch yet.

"I'm not hungry!"

As a reflex response, Nicole immediately refused Kerr's offer.

But just as she was about to leave with her son, her stomach growled.

"Oh! Mommy, you lied. You know, I am hungry too!"

Jay put his little hands on his belly as he looked at Kerr with an expectant look in his eyes.

Nicole's hands subconsciously flew to her stomach, and before she could say anything, she saw Kerr bend down to take Jay in his arms and walk outside.

"Hey, put Jay down!"

With her handbag in her hand, she followed closely behind Kerr. He walked so fast that she actually had to trot just to keep up with his pace.

"Mom, it's not good to waste food. That's what you taught me."

Jay planted his head firmly on Kerr's shoulder and smiled at Nicole who was walking right behind them. Then, he mischievously whispered into Kerr's ear.

"I had to find a way to help you, but you don't have to be too grateful to me, Uncle Gu!"

He patted Kerr's shoulder with his small hand like an adult.

As soon as Kerr put Jay in the car, he saw Nicole walking out of the company. He opened the car door for her.

"Okay, you win!"

She looked at her son who was now completely captivated by Kerr, and had no choice but to get in the car.

She was the one who gave birth to her son, but he was won over by Kerr so easily, and it made her feel a little frustrated.

"Mommy, don't be sad. I wasn't going to leave you. I was just worried that we'd be wasting food. We will go home together after dinner, okay?"

Jay comforted his mom in a docile manner, but deep inside, he actually felt elated.

With Jay's precious smile, there was no way she'd be able to say no to him. Now, all she could do was nod.

When he heard the interaction between Nicole and Jay, for the first time, Kerr felt like he was home.

His villa was not far away from the Gu Group's company. So it didn't take long before he parked his car right before the gate of the villa. With one hand holding Jay, he stretched out his other hand to hold Nicole as well, but she immediately pulled away.

She took a step back to keep her distance from Kerr, but she knew it was a lost cause—there was nothing she could do about their situation anymore. After all, her son was now in the territory of Kerr, who had him in his arms.

She felt like she was going deep into a dangerous place.

Kerr shrugged his shoulders and walked into the living room with Jay. As he had expected, he heard Nicole's footsteps as she followed closely behind them.

"Master, you are back. The dinner is ready."

Vedder Gu was standing at the door, waiting for Kerr, and when he saw the boy in Kerr's arms, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

"Hi Grandpa!"

Jay looked at the bearded man standing in front of him and guessed that he should be called Grandpa, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Hello!"

Upon hearing the child call him Granpa, Vedder felt a little embarrassed. He had been working for the Gu family for several decades and had watched Kerr grow up, and not once had he ever seen Kerr bring other people back.

More than that, the boy in Kerr's arms looked absolutely beautiful, just like Kerr did when he was a child.

"Mommy, hurry up!"

Jay said to Nicole who was standing behind them.

"Okay."

As much as she wanted to escape, she knew she couldn't, so she had to bite the bullet and walk in. When she saw Vedder standing at the door, she gave him a slight nod. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Miss Ning, please!"

He led the way for Nicole. When he got the phone call from Jared, he didn't really know what he meant. But now, he finally understood what Jared's vague words meant.

Sure enough, he was surprised.

After a while, they were finally seated in the dining room. Nicole deliberately sat down next to Jay, drawing a distance between him and Kerr.

Almost all of the dishes on the table were Jay's favorite, and Nicole could not help but feel a little worried.

"Mommy, these are all of my favorite dishes. Thank you, Uncle Gu!"

Jay expressed his thanks politely.

Vedder, who was standing beside the table, was even more stunned at Jay's words. He smiled and poured him a glass of juice.

"I didn't expect that he would like the same food as the young master."

His words seemed casual, but they shook Nicole to the core.

She had noticed that Jay and Kerr liked the same food the first time Kerr had dinner with them. She was worried that it would cause Kerr's suspicions. She didn't expect that Jay would look so much like Kerr in many aspects.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

She didn't want Kerr to see the panic on her face, so she stood up and quickly made her escape.

"Miss Ning, this way please."

Vedder immediately led the way for her.

Even though he didn't know what exactly the relationship between Nicole and Kerr was for the time being, Vedder could tell from Kerr's attitude towards Nicole that she was different for him.
