The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 147

Long before Harley could say a word, he noticed Jay take out a black phone from his pocket and quickly dialed a number. With his finger covering his little mouth, Jay glanced at Harley, motioning him not to speak.

"Honey."

A woman's voice resounded from the other end of the line.

Jay's whole face suddenly lit up, and there was even a hint of satisfaction in his eyes the moment he heard that voice.

"This phone belongs to my father. Who are you?"

He audibly spoke as he resisted the urge to laugh.

The woman on the other end of the line turned confused. She couldn't believe her ears when the clear voice of a child reached her.

"What did you say? Who are you? How did you get my husband's phone?"

The woman continuously bombarded Jay with a series of questions as her heart hammered in her chest.

"It is my father's cell phone. And my father is with my mother now. If you don't believe me, you can come over to have a look. We are in the hotel of the Gu Group,"

Jay thoroughly explained before hanging the phone up.

"Who are you calling?"

Harley prompted as he was quite confused. He found himself squatting in front of Jay and gazing at him rather strangely. He couldn't get the hang of what he was talking about and who his so-called father and mother were.

"Uncle, can you take me to the door in front?"

Jay softly said as he raised his head, discreetly averting his gaze. He didn't rush to answer Harley's question.

"All right,"

Harley readily agreed without even having second thoughts. Stretching out his hand, he lifted the child and casually sauntered towards the door.

As expected, Jay remembered the event correctly. Today was the celebration party of the Gu Group, so guests with no invitation were strictly not welcome at the venue. The hotel even had special security guards who were manning the hotel's designated entry and exit to avoid any untoward incidents that might arise at the time of the party.

However, despite the strict measures, Jay could still notice someone coming in.

"Mr. Su!"

The security guards simultaneously recognized Harley and greeted him slightly. They had no idea who the boy was, but they certainly knew who Harley was.

"Later, there will be someone sending a gift to Mr. Gu. She's a woman. Don't stop her, and just let her in."

Jay gave orders to the staff without fear nor an ounce of hesitation. He sounded like a small adult giving advice.

The staff directed his gaze at the child in Harley's arms and then at Harley. He seemed a little hesitant.

"Do as he said,"

Harley exclaimed approvingly.

"Yes."

When the staff agreed, Jay felt contented and silently led Harley to the lounge.

"The reason you asked me to take you to the door is that you are afraid that they will treat you as a child and refuse to listen to you, right?"

Harley couldn't help regarding the young boy settled in his arms with aplomb. He felt that he was indeed similar to Kerr Gu. And in all honesty, he had doubts about Jay's identity ever since he first saw him.

However, Harrow specifically conducted the paternity test for Kerr and Jay, so there couldn't be a mistake. And this made him a little confused about the situation.

"I don't think Uncle Su is that stupid,"

Jay reflectively mumbled as he held a negative impression on him. When Harley executed a mistake about the paternity test, Jay instinctively thought that he was not very intelligent. How could he make such a mistake with such an uncomplicated thing? Jay could only shake his head in disbelief when Harley even claimed himself a doctor.

But today, Jay thought he could forego his lapses this once. Thinking further that since Harley drew a precise inference of what he did, it seemed that the doctor was not utterly useless.

"Am I stupid?"

Harley immediately asked with a frown etched on his forehead, staring at the child's face. It was the first time that a child had said he was stupid. However, he couldn't take a little boy's words seriously, so he set Jay on the ground.

"Make it clear, or I'll ask the security guard to stop the person you want to let in,"

he added. Although it was not suitable to threaten a child, Harley couldn't do anything about it. Jay looked the same as Kerr, especially when he was acting arrogant.

"Don't! Don't do that. If you stop her, there would be no drama to watch,"

Jay abruptly said as his small hands hugged Harley's legs. His voice sounded like pleading, and he looked pitiful.

"Uncle, I will tell you everything you want to know. Long ago, I have already known that my biological father is Kerr, but sadly you haven't found it out, so I am not in a hurry to answer your query earlier."

Harley felt surprised when he heard this. And he denied it at once.

"That's quite impossible. Your paternity test can't be wrong, and the results clearly show that you have no blood relationship,"

Harley firmly asserted. He was so confident that Harrow could never be wrong.

"So, did you really do the paternity test yourself?"

Jay fixed his gaze at Harley as if gauging his reaction. And true enough, he caught something on the expression showed in Harley's face.

"Yes... Anyway, it's impossible,"

Harley stammered. There was a sort of guilt welling within him.

"I knew you were lazy then. If Uncle Gu learned about it, I would look forward to seeing how you will explain it to him,"

Jay offhandedly said as he smiled smugly at the hesitation lingering in Harley's face. Silently, he savored the way Harley looked at that moment.

"Then how did you know that Kerr is your father?"

Harley countered in a snap, trying to change the topic.

"It's just my guess, a smart one at that. My mom has a pair of black earrings that my grandma gave her. She has been cherishing them very much. But one piece of that earring was missing. When I asked my mom why there was only one, she merely explained that the other one might be in my dad's hands.

And I found another earring in Kerr's drawer which looked the same as my mother's. Besides, don't you think I look like my father?"

Jay babbled, pointing at his cute face. When he was in Gu family residence, he had seen Kerr's childhood photos. If he didn't carefully recognize them, he would get easily confused.

Harley was stunned, and reflectively thought over Jay's words but said nothing in the end. He could only stare blankly at the young boy.

"Uncle, let's go back,"

Jay blurted in an anxious tone. He quickly pushed Harley when he heard the heavy footsteps approaching behind him.

Soon after realization hit him, Harley quietly watched Jay reach out his small hand and abruptly push open the door of the lounge with all his might. As expected, his spur-of-the-moment action successfully attracted the attention of everyone inside. And without paying any regard to anyone, Jay hurriedly ran all the way to the side of Sven.

Taking a glimpse at the woman currently appearing at the door, Jay raised a smile and tightly wrapped his little arms around Sven's legs.

"Father!"

The loud childish voice was heard clearly by the woman who had just entered the lounge.

The rest were shocked, and a moment of silence ensued as a tense atmosphere engulfed the whole scene.

With a curious demeanor, Nicole's gazed landed directly at Jay. His behavior startled her. But before she could open her mouth to ask him, she heard him speak first.

"Father, don't you say you love me the most?"

Surprised, Sven immediately lowered his head and gently looked at Jay. He decided to carry him in his arms. But the moment he was about to hold him up, he heard a familiar voice.

"Sven Tang!"

The woman, who had just come in was none other than the wife of Sven Tang. She keenly observed what was happening in front of her, and out of her anger, she called out Sven's name loud enough for everyone to direct their eyes towards her.

"How dare you have brought up such a bastard without my knowledge! How can you betray me?"

The woman was quick, but gracefully walked up to Sven and slapped him hard across the face. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. And her voice was filled with disappointment and sadness.

"Honey, let me explain,"

Sven pleaded. He didn't expect that his wife would appear at this time, either. Unconsciously, guilt gnawed at him.

"What else is there you want to explain? Do you still have a conscience? When Tang Group faced the crisis, I was there helping you. I didn't expect you to treat me like this when everything just got better."
