The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 63

Angering the woman would be unwise for Vedder.

Eyes following his mother's back disappearing into the bathroom, Jay looked pensive.

"Uncle Gu, don't scare Mommy. She looks strong, but she is also very fragile,"

he said, turning to look at Kerr with the most earnest look he could muster.

"I know."

Nicole's wariness didn't escape his eyes. Swirling the wine gently in his glass, Kerr took a sip.

The wine tasted sweet, but not as sweet as Nicole.

"What do you think of living here with your mommy in the future?"

The idea ran through Kerr's mind for quite a while now, and he couldn't let go of it. The thought of the possibility that it could happen made him happy.

Looking at the boy sitting across him, he knew the likelihood of this outcome.

"What good does it do to me?"

Jay liked Kerr, a lot. He would be over the moon if his mother and Uncle Gu got together,

but it didn't mean that he'd let her do something she wouldn't want to do. He would never do that.

"How does it benefit me?" Jay asked again. "I can't sell my mommy out like that, not to mention that I've done nothing but help you and try to push you both in that direction, and yet you still haven't won her heart. I'm starting to doubt you, Uncle. I'm seriously thinking of dropping it," he added.

No matter how much he supported Kerr, his mother's happiness was his top priority.

Jay raised his eyebrows doubtfully at Kerr. He had a delicate face with intense maturity.

"You can get what you want on the third floor."

Kerr was unmoved by the boy's query. There was no doubt that Nicole would eventually marry him sooner or later. He would see to it that it would be done.

"OK. I wish you success!"

Jay winked at Kerr. Although he hadn't seen anything what the man prepared for him, he trusted Kerr from the bottom of his heart. And what he said a moment ago was meant to make Kerr wary more than anything.

In the washroom, Nicole turned on the tap and let the cold water run through her hands. But her panic wasn't alleviated.

While her son grew up, she started to notice the similarities that Jay and Kerr had in terms of their personalities and hobbies. She didn't know if she could keep up the lie, especially now that the two were getting even closer to each other.

Although Kerr hadn't said anything, she had to keep up the act. If he found out Jay's real identity, she wouldn't know how to explain herself.

She took out her phone from her pocket. The only person who could help her right now was Baron.

"I need your help, Baron!"

Upon hearing Nicole's voice, Baron was happily surprised, but the smile on his face froze. He answered her cautiously,

"Did Kerr find out about Jay's identity?"

Baron had been worried about this. He didn't mind if Jay was taken in by the Gu family. After all, he was their flesh and blood. But he was worried that Nicole had fallen into Kerr's trap because of Jay.

"Not yet, but I'm afraid his suspicion may rise. Your suggestion before, let's do it. Last time, I didn't deny that Jay is your child. Please, help me make Kerr give up Jay.

I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble Baron, but we will leave this place. I won't take long. After everything is settled, we'll leave."

She wouldn't have taken such drastic measures if she had another choice. Even if Jay would get upset, it didn't matter. She could explain everything to him after they left here.

"I understand. Don't worry, Nicole. I'm here for you, whatever you need. Where are you now?"

When he heard that, he was quite excited. God knew how long he had been waiting for this opportunity. If she eventually fell in love with him, he would have nothing else to ask for.

But he knew he had to sway things in his direction. Somehow, he had to figure out a way to make Nicole love him more than Jay. Even though he might not care about Nicole's past, if they got together, they would have their own children.

The Fang family couldn't accept Jay.

"I'm in Kerr's villa. I'll send you the address. Come and pick us up later."

She had to get out of here as soon as possible. Even if she let Jay down this time, she had to protect her son. After all, Kerr was not someone they could provoke.

"Okay. I'll get there as soon as I can."

After confirming with Baron, Nicole hung up. She took a deep breath and walked out of the washroom. Before she reached the table, she heard Jay's laughter.

"Mommy, you've been there for a long time. I'm talking to Uncle Gu about my new research. He said there was a laboratory here where I can do my experiment. Can I stay here tonight?"

Jay turned around to look at her with hopeful eyes.

In the past, if he asked this way, she would agree without hesitation. But today, she couldn't be swayed.

"We shouldn't disturb Uncle Gu. He still has a lot of work to do. Uncle Fang called Mommy. He will come to pick us up later."

Wearing a smile on her face, Nicole looked at Jay, but was directing her words to Kerr.

She wanted him to know that the idea of them being together was impossible.

"All right."

Jay reluctantly agreed and was a little disappointed, but he didn't challenge her, because he knew his mother well and knew that she was serious. He secretly stole a glance at Kerr.

Hearing Baron's name caused the expression on Kerr's face to darken.

He had been doubting what Baron said, but every time he did, Nicole would remind him of the truth.

"A call from Mr. Fang? Aren't you worried you will disturb him?"

Kerr couldn't accept this. She was shutting him out again. All the progress he had made with her would be for nothing. He found it greatly upsetting that Baron would come to pick them up. He didn't like where any of this was going.

The anger on his face was clear as day.

"No, it's not what you think. Baron is supposed to pick us up today. But something came up in their company that he had to deal with, so he couldn't. Jay and I should get going soon. We won't disturb you in the future, Mr. Gu."

Nicole turned to look at Kerr, with determination in her eyes.

She couldn't cower in fear of Kerr anymore, she should face this head on.

When he saw the look on her face, Kerr's anger heightened.

He held the goblet with all his strength and it shattered to pieces in his hand.

The dark red transparent liquid spilled out and glass fragments directly pierced into Kerr's thumb. Before the blood flowed, he hid his injured hand under the table.
