The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 85 Rainy Night

"What are you doing here?"

When Nicole saw that Kerr had walked out in the rain, she asked quietly, but he didn't answer her question.

He took off his suit jacket and put it on her. Then he picked her up and quickly carried her into his car.

He brought out a dry towel from the compartment and carefully wiped Nicole's wet hair, ignoring his own, which was also soaked from the rain.

"What's wrong with you? It's pouring really hard. Why are you even here?"

Although Kerr didn't say a word since she began to ask, she knew her feeling wasn't wrong and he did look a little different from usual.

When he heard the last question, Kerr wrapped her up with the bath towel and adjusted the temperature in the car before he spoke to her softly.

"I missed you."

Since he left the Gu's ancestral home, he had been missing Nicole like crazy, as if only the sight of Nicole could bring him a little comfort.

"What happened?"

She handed Kerr a new towel to let him dry his hair, and looked at him with concern.

Looking at Nicole, Kerr pulled her into his arms and breathed in, her scent engulfing his senses. He felt like he had owned the whole world.

"Nicole, if I can give you whatever you want, will you stay with me? If I make you my one and only? If I said I've fallen in love with you?"

For the first time, he wanted someone to know how he felt.

He felt invincible, like he could let down all his defenses as long as he was with her, and show her his true self completely. It was as if he was not afraid that she would hurt him.

There was a look of astonishment on Nicole's face when she heard what Kerr said.

She didn't know why, but she believed him entirely. She could feel the sincerity in his words and it moved her.

Her once determined decision suddenly became hesitant.

"Kerr, don't say that. I... Hmm... "

Kerr brought his lips to hers, cutting her off from her thoughts.

Looking at the anxious look on Kerr's face, she wanted to stop him, but she clearly sensed that he was panicking. He seemed knackered, cautious and even rash.

His longing for Nicole was stronger than ever, but for the first time, he acted as though he was an impulsive teenager. Deep down in his heart, he was afraid that she would refuse him.

When she placed her hands on Kerr's warm chest, she gradually lost her will to push him away. She ended up giving in to him, collapsed in Kerr's arms and closed her eyes.

Her internal conflict was put on hold. Just as Avery had told her—"follow your heart." Right now, she wanted him. She allowed herself to surrender to this man, just this once. Nicole put her arms around Kerr's neck and enjoyed his warmth.

The violent thunderstorm continued to pour outside the car.

"You love me too, right?" he asked her, softly.

Not receiving a response, Kerr looked at the woman who was asleep in his arms. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes any longer. He bent down and gently kissed Nicole on the forehead. He transferred to the driver's seat and drove away from the city's noise.

He wanted to enjoy every second of this peaceful moment with her.

The pitter patter of the raindrops were slowing to a stop. The sky turned clear while the aftermath of the storm surrounded the area with its scent.

Slowly opening her eyes, trying to make sense of her surroundings, Nicole looked around but didn't see Kerr. Her eyes widened in fear and sat up. The trace of panic was visible on her face while she looked for the man she was just with.

When she was about to open the car door, she found herself wrapped in a bath towel. She didn't dare to go out. Just then, Kerr opened the car door and sat in all of a sudden, which startled Nicole.

"Are you awake already?" he asked.

"Where did you go?"

She looked at the smile on Kerr's face, while hers displayed a trace of anger.

Nobody knew how worried she was just now. Apart from Jay, it was the first time that she was so worried about someone else and relied on them so much.

"Were you afraid? You don't have to worry. I will never leave you alone."

Sensing the uneasiness in her tone, Kerr reached out to hold her in his arms and gently rubbed circles on her back.

Feeling the warmth in Kerr's arms, Nicole gradually felt better and took a deep breath to calm herself down. It seemed that since yesterday, she no longer held the strong barrier in her heart but rather harbored a soft spot for Kerr.

"I just asked Jared to bring you some clothes. Don't be angry. I didn't expect that you would wake up so soon. I promise that whenever you open your eyes, you will see me, okay?"

When he didn't hear her answer, Kerr thought that she was angry about it, so he coaxed her cautiously.

He held her shoulders and looked directly at her.

"Hahaha!"

Watching him explain so carefully, she burst into laughter and made fun of him.

"Who would have thought that the CEO of the Gu Group would have such a tender side? Should I feel lucky or worried?"

It never occurred to her that she would ever see Kerr in this light. The softness in his demeanor made her long to be at the receiving end of his tenderness. It made her greedy. At this moment, she was filled with bliss.

"How dare you make fun of me! You must be punished!"

Kerr lifted the bath towel off Nicole and held her in his arms. He made her sit on his legs and reached out to untie the belt buckle.

"Wait, wait, wait! It's already dawn. What else do you want to do?"

Nicole held Kerr's hand directly and stopped him. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Who says that we can't have sex at dawn..." Before Kerr could finish his words,

Nicole covered his mouth with her hand.

"Stop it. Let's get out of here quickly. This is the gate of Lin family's villa. We will be in trouble if someone finds us."

She suddenly remembered where they last were the previous night. She didn't know if anyone had noticed them. It would be so embarrassing if they were seen by others.

Looking at the nervous expression on her face, Kerr raised his hand and caressed her cheek, with a faint smile appearing on his own.

"Silly girl, how can I let others see your beauty. Your beauty only belongs to me. Look where we are now."
