The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 163 Just Nod and Accept It

Nicole put down the things in her hands as she looked directly into Kerr's eyes with a bit of resentment.

"You were such a playboy, Kerr. You shouldn't even dare to think that I don't know that you had plenty of mistresses before I came back. You even forced them to abort your child. How can I rest peacefully after knowing such gross actions of you?"

She was still in a state of shock when she thought about it. Although Kerr had never treated her like that, she had no idea whether she would be safe or not as time went by.

After all, people's minds were changeable all the time.

The light in Nicole's eyes dimmed as she thought of this. She lowered her head to avoid eye contact with Kerr while she was trying to forget her worries and remember how well he had treated her all this time.

Kerr cupped her face and pecked her lips with a smile on his face.

"Nicole, it doesn't matter the amount of women that I've met before. You must know that whatever happened in the past won't have any effects on what's happening now between us. You're my present and future. Why didn't you ask me earlier? You wouldn't have made such disorderly conjectures if you asked me.

The child I asked her to abort was not mine. Thus, she was the one that took the final decision to not give birth to the baby. The only thing that I desire to have is your child. When will you finally bring to this world a daughter for me?"

Kerr held Nicole in his arms and whispered in her ear.

His words made her feel better. Whether he was making excuses for himself or not, she was willing to believe him.

However, she pushed him away.

"You're going to have to keep on wishing for that to ever happen. Tell Jay to come down. Dinner will be ready soon."

Wearing a blush of shyness, Nicole pushed Kerr out of the kitchen and took a deep breath before she started cooking.

A few minutes later, four dishes and a soup were carried to the table by Nicole. Although the food was simple, it was quite exquisite. Besides, she had always told Jay that he mustn't waste food. Therefore, she only cooked food for three people which was enough to eat.

"Mommy, you're the best!"

Sitting next to Nicole, Jay stretched out his short arms, held her neck and kissed her on the side face. Then he looked at Kerr complacently.

Kerr knew what was going on through Jay's mind, but he decided not to pay too much attention to that.

Nicole patted Jay's head and sat down. Before she opened her mouth tentatively, she looked at Jay with a bit of hesitation and then gave a quick look at Kerr.

"Jay, Mommy and Uncle Kerr have some business to deal with and may be on a business trip for a while. Uncle Harley will keep you company while we are away. Do you understand?"

Nicole notified Jay about the business trip as she picked up some food to his plate.

"You don't need to worry too much though. It won't take us long. I promise you that I will come back as soon as this thing is over."

Jay looked at Kerr as he put down the spoon. Then he smiled at Nicole.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Mommy, you don't need to worry too. I can take good care of myself, and Uncle Harley can also teach me a lot of things."

Nicole felt surprised as she heard Jay's calm response. She never thought that Jay would agree so easily. She had thought about a worse scenario where he would cry bitterly.

Nevertheless, she felt a little disappointed as she realized that Jay didn't have the need to rely on her at all.

"Jay, are you sure of what you're saying?"

Jay looked at the hesitant expression on his mother's face and nodded earnestly.

"All right. From the moment that we leave tomorrow, you shall behave well. I will call you every day,"

Nicole discreetly exhorted Jay. Honestly, she was the one who couldn't live without him.

Looking at the obedient look on Jay's face, Kerr was just still on his seat thoughtfully. He had felt sorry for this boy plenty of times now. After all, he knew that Jay's biological father never truly cared for him since he was born.

Afterwards, he put Jay's favorite piece of fish onto his plate.

"Wow, you're having dinner! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Harley's lazy voice came from the door as he approached the table. He looked at the delicious food in front of him with greedy eyes and smirked.

"Have you finished the task?"

Kerr frowned. He wouldn't allow Nicole to cook too much because he was worried about her health. Kerr didn't feel quite pleased that another mouth had intervened the dinner.

The dissatisfaction in Kerr's tone didn't affect Harley's mood. He stroked Jay's soft hair as he sat next to him.

Nicole asked the maid to bring a new set of tableware for Harley. Then, she was about to go to the kitchen to make a few more dishes when she was grabbed by Kerr.

"Hey, Kerr, you can't just ignore your good friend when you have a woman. Can't you see I've done a lot of things for you? Don't be so ungrateful,"

Harley complained when he saw Kerr stop Nicole from cooking more dishes.

Nicole laughed and told the cook to add a few more dishes.

"Don't cook for other people's husbands anymore."

The faint voice of Kerr passed to Nicole's ear as he ignored the others. He just reached for the dish made by her and moved it to his front.

In his opinion, he was the only one qualified to enjoy the delicious food that was cooked by Nicole.

Looking at the childish look of Kerr, Nicole couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

"Could you please stop speaking nonsense in front of Jay?"

When the dinner was over, Nicole went back to her bedroom to pack up her things. Kerr simply gave Harley a few orders, and then followed Nicole back to her bedroom.

Looking at their backs, Jay felt a bit angry and indignant.

"It seems that you have no choice but to be with me during the following few days." Harley directed those words to Jay with obvious sympathy in his eyes.

Jay stood up and returned to his bedroom as he heard Harley's words.

Everyone went to sleep until the sun would rise again.

It was an early morning when Kerr had already prepared a helicopter for Nicole. He held her hand and led her way out of the villa.

Standing at the door of the villa, Nicole looked through a small window with her eyes. She felt reluctant to leave Jay. Kerr was worried that Nicole wouldn't be willing to let go of her son, so he arranged his trip as early as he could.

"Don't worry. We'll be back soon."

He put his arm around her shoulder and got into the car.

As soon as Jay had seen the car vanishing from his sight, he started bursting into tears.

When she was on the plane, Nicole still felt a bit unsettled. Fortunately, she felt a sense of comfort with the presence of Kerr.

Eventually, she closed her eyes as she was leaning on Kerr's shoulder.
