The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 130

"Isn't it up to you to propose to me?" Nicole continued to ask.

She turned to look at Kerr, and both dissatisfaction and doubt played in her eyes.

"Do you want me to propose now? Okay, as you wish."

With his eyes fixed on her, Kerr held her shoulders, but before he could bend his knee, Nicole stopped him.

"I was just kidding. Do you think me serious?"

When Nicole saw Kerr's actions, she was surprised. Before Kerr could bend a knee, she stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm, stopping him from kneeling.

The moment Kerr bowed, Nicole sensed there was something wrong as her heart was racing.

She didn't expect that Kerr would really want to marry her. It was exactly what she had hoped for, but she couldn't feel happy when she recalled what happened this morning.

Kerr stood straight, watching the melancholy paint Nicole's face. There was an understanding look in his eyes. He was waiting for her to say something, but his intuition told him that she would remain silent and act tough.

A sudden ringing broke the silence between them.

Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Kerr looked at the Caller ID and tapped the answer button.

"What is it?" he said into the phone.

Head tilted quizzically to one side, Nicole gazed at Kerr. But she couldn't hear his replies above the hiss of the sea breeze.

She didn't know what the other party on the line said, but she saw Kerr hang up the phone immediately.

"Which do you want to hear first, good or bad news?"

Kerr mysteriously asked.

"The bad news."

Nicole had got used to dealing with bad news first. Only in this way could she enjoy the good news.

"You will be very tired for the next couple of days."

However, it wasn't really bad news for him to have Nicole with him all the time. Maybe the best way to protect her was to keep her in the Gu Group.

"What is the good news?"

In fact, Nicole had ventured a guess, but she was not sure. After all, the results of the bidding would not become public until tomorrow.

"Gu Group won the bidding,"

Kerr said indifferently. In fact, this was not really important to him, but it was a confirmation of Nicole's efforts, so it made a different sense to him.

"Really? It's worth it."

She seemed surprised, but then she finally felt relieved.

"My Nicole is the best."

Kerr scooped Nicole up and carried her to his car. Although it was summer now, the water at night was on the chilly side. Kerr worried that Nicole would catch a cold if her feet were soaked in the water.

Nicole wrapped her arms around Kerr's neck and let him carry her away.

"Kerr, if I disappeared from your world one day, what would you do?"

She had never thought of leaving Kerr, but she needed to secure the safety of her son, and she didn't want Kerr to stand in conflict with the Gu family because of her. It seemed that she had stepped in a dilemma.

If there really was no way to have the best of both worlds, then she would have to take her beloved son away immediately. Only once she made sure that he was safe, could she come back to find Kerr. But she didn't know if Kerr would wait until she returned.

"I won't let that happen."

'It seems that she is planning on running away,' Kerr thought while speaking in a firm tone.

There was a bitter taste of disappointment in his heart when he considered this possibility.

"Hypothetically, will you forget me if that day comes?"

His answer was very important to Nicole. Given their current situation, she could not think of a better way to proceed.

When he saw the resistance in her eyes, Kerr's lips parted slightly.

"Yes, I will never accept a woman who has abandoned and left me. You are mine, and you have to stay with me."

In Kerr's world, love was simple. If he and Nicole loved each other, they would find a way to be together, and nothing could force them to leave each other.

In this moment, he didn't know that such unavoidable dramas would face them in the future, or that they would face a lot of things that they didn't want to face, and they would become helpless in their choices.

"You..."

Nicole wanted to argue with Kerr, but as she opened her mouth, the words deserted her.

She knew that what Kerr had said was right, and she couldn't find any reason to refute him. Finally, she chose to remain silent.

He set Nicole on the seat and gently pinched her nose.

"Don't ever think of leaving me again. You are my woman now. You are destined to be by my side always."

He wouldn't let her go, no matter what.

Nicole managed to force a slight smile and turned her face away to avoid making eye contact with Kerr

He went round to the driver's seat and started the car.

Looking at the receding car driven by Kerr, Harley and Ken, who had been hiding on a boat by the shore, walked out.

"It seems that Kerr is hell bent on marrying Miss Ning this time."

Harley finally understood how important Nicole was to Kerr.

"You finally noticed it? To ensure that Nicole will have a future that will not be threatened by the Gu family, Kerr has been working tirelessly. But I don't think the Gu family will be so easily deceived,"

Ken said thoughtfully. It was not easy to circumvent the Gu family.

Kerr drove Nicole back to the hospital, and they had dinner with Jay. They played with him for a while and once he was tired, they tucked him in before leaving his ward.

Closing the door to Jay's ward, Nicole looked exhausted.

"Are you tired?"

holding Nicole's hand, Kerr questioned her thoughtfully.

"I'm fine."

Nicole walked in the direction of her own private ward. Although she had recovered and could leave the hospital, Jay still needed to be watched over for some time. So it was more convenient for her to stay at the hospital.

Kerr raised his wrist and studied his watch, and a triumphant smile formed on his face.

"Come. Let me take you somewhere."

He held Nicole's hand and led her out of the hospital.

Not knowing what he was up to again, Nicole followed Kerr, who seemed to be acting a little strangely today. He seemed to have planned a lot of surprises and wanted to treat her.

Sitting in the car, Nicole closed her eyes and leaned her head against the door. Without realizing it, she soon fell asleep. When the car slowly stopped, she was still sleeping soundlessly.

In the driver's seat, Kerr turned and looked at the perfect face of his sleeping woman. He smiled lightly, opened the door, and got out of the car. Kim was already waiting next to the car for him.
