The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 123

Kerr told Jay seriously as if enforcing a new rule.

It was his turn now to sleep in the same bed as Nicole.

"You're a grownup. Why can you sleep in the same bed as Mommy and I can't?"

Jay crossed his arms on his chest and looked at Kerr sternly as if challenging him to answer his question directly.

"If I don't sleep in the same bed as your mommy, how will you have a little brother or sister?"

Kerr reached for a night robe and put it on. He picked up Jay and walked to the bathroom.

"Then when will I have a little brother or sister?"

Although Jay was a bit disappointed that he could not sleep beside his mother anymore, the thought of having a little brother or sister soon filled his heart with excited joy.

He could show him or her off to Callie who also had a brother. He wondered if his future little sister would be as lovely as Callie.

"Soon."

Nicole overheard Kerr and Jay's conversation in the bathroom and felt inexplicably happy.

This was what she wanted.

Nicole slipped out of bed and put on some clothes. She was making the bed when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in. It's open."

Nicole tied her long hair into a ponytail.

"Your breakfast, Director Ning."

Jared walked in and set the food box on the table. He felt relieved by Kerr's absence.

"Thank you, Jared. I'm sorry to have bothered you during the past few days."

Nicole helped Jared pour the porridge into a bowl.

"You're always welcome, Director Ning."

Jared bowed and left the room.

Hand in hand, Kerr and Jay walked out of the bathroom and sat at the table. The three had breakfast quietly. From time to time, Kerr fed Jay his food.

"You should go back to work after breakfast. You must have a lot to do,"

Nicole told Kerr as she passed the bread to him.

"No hurry. When you get better, you can come back to work with me."

Kerr flashed Nicole a gentle smile.

"But I've resigned."

She had turned in her resignation before the bidding started.

"Really? Why didn't I receive your resignation letter?"

Kerr looked at Nicole carefully and waited for her response, pretending not to know anything about the resignation letter.

Nicole glared at him.

"You have to go to work today. I'll stay here with Jay. I'll call you if anything comes up."

Nicole did not want Kerr to worry about her any more than he already did.

"All right."

Kerr decided not to push it.

After breakfast, Kerr left the hospital and went to the Gu Group.

"Mr. Gu, the results of the bidding will be out tomorrow, but according to the estimation, it's very likely that the Gu Group will win."

Jared handed Kerr all the files that needed to be dealt with for the past two days and reported the progress of the bidding.
