The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 191

Baron knew that he had no right to love Nicole anymore.

Seeing the bitter smile on Baron's lips, Nicole frowned and attempted to give him a piece of her mind. "Baron, you..." But what should she say? Was she going to accuse Baron of being a jerk? He had only made that mistake because of her.

Honestly, none of this was their fault. Baron and Nicole just weren't destined to hold each other's hands for the rest of their lives.

The moment Nicole saw the sad look on Baron's face, she lowered her head and decided not to say anything.

"You don't need to worry. I know what I must do, and I'm willing to be a good father. I just can't promise to be a good husband." Baron couldn't guarantee that he would be able to forget about Nicole one day.

The pain of unrequited love was a stain in anyone's heart, a kind of sorrow that might endure a lifetime.

Nicole turned her head towards Baron and said, "Baron, Maggie didn't do anything wrong. I can see that she likes you very much, and I'm sure you'll realize she's a good woman one day. You have a long time ahead of you.

Sometimes we ignore the people around us only to regret it when we lost them." She believed that Baron could warm up to Maggie's kindness eventually.

However, she could only hope that everyone around her would find their happiness in life.

"Nicole, I know that if I don't tell you this today, maybe I'll never get the chance to do so again. I fell in love with you the moment that I first saw you.

I admit that I didn't like Jay in the beginning because I was jealous of his father. Maybe this jealousy was the reason I lost you. But when I realized it, it was too late."

This was the first time that Baron addressed his true feelings to her, and perhaps the last as well.

Nicole shook her head and asked, "Have you ever thought that this might not be love after all? The feeling of love at first sight and your heart beating faster is beautiful, but true love requires more than that.

I only understood it after I met Kerr. At first, I tried my best to hide Jay's identity from him, but it turned out that he didn't care about it. In fact, he had already accepted Jay in his heart.

He doesn't mind my past even though there are a lot of people against our relationship. When everyone was accusing me, he stood by my side the whole time." The corners of Nicole's lips curved into a smile.

The joy and relief in her voice caused Baron's heart to break even more.

"Stop it, Nicole. You're here to make me company now. After today, I'll give you my blessing and return to my own life, but until then, I don't want to hear anything about Kerr."

Baron had parked his car in front of a bar and soon got out of the vehicle. Walking to the other side, he helped Nicole out and then guided her towards the entrance.

Nicole immediately frowned once she realized where they were. After all, a bar wasn't a suitable place for a pregnant woman to be. Yet she still didn't have the heart to say anything to him, seeing how sad he was.

With no other choice, she followed Baron in silence.

At that precise moment, another car stopped beside the silver Rolls Royce.

Sunny's straight lips shifted into a smirk as she pointed sarcastically, "Kerr has barely left for a business trip, and you're already so lonely that you came to this sort of place with another man? Oh, Nicole! This time, I'll ruin your reputation."

She looked at the bar's entrance with a triumphant look on her face and then commanded the driver to go.

Meanwhile, in the bar, Nicole was holding a glass of milk as she watched Baron empty one glass of wine after another. Despite her helpless sighs, there was nothing else Nicole could do for Baron but be there. After all, her love, which was what he really wanted, she had already given to Kerr.

Now there was no room in her heart for Baron.

Suddenly, Nicole felt her phone buzzing inside her purse. She took it out and instantly recognized the number on display. Not bothering to say anything to Baron, she stood up and walked to the bathroom, where it was quieter, before answering the call.

"Jay, why are you still awake? It's already late." Nicole glanced at her watch and noticed it was past his bedtime.

Staring at the screen of the computer in front of him, Jay answered, "It's still early, Mommy. There's a two-hour gap between us. But why haven't you come home yet? You're pregnant and shouldn't be at a bar."

He had already found out where Nicole was. "That old man didn’t care about it at all?" Whenever Jay remembered that Kerr still didn't believe that he was his son, he couldn't help but feel resentful towards him.

"What old man? And how do you know that I’m pregnant? Did Harley tell you?" Nicole had a headache, so she brought a hand to her forehead. In fact, she had been dying to go back home and sleep early.

"The old man is Kerr. If you compare him to me, he's an old man!" There was a hint of anger in his tone. He didn't understand why Kerr's location indicated that he was still in the Gu villa.

"Jay, don't be so rude. He's your father, you know it." So much had been going on lately that Nicole never had the chance to have a serious conversation about this topic with Jay.

Actually, she hadn't been talking to Jay about anything these past days. Realizing this, she softened her tone, "Sweetheart, we've been very busy recently.

But I'll pick you up in a few days, okay?" She was also missing Jay very much.

Jay became more suspicious once he noticed the concern in Nicole's voice. "Mommy, is there anything wrong?" Jay had been trying to hack into the Gu Group's internal network for a while now.

But ever since Kerr found him out the other time, he had reinforced the company's network system. Jay still kept trying to get in after that with no success. Therefore he was still unsure about the Gu Group's current situation.

"Everything is fine. Now, be good and go to bed early. Mommy will pick you up soon." She didn't want Jay to worry about her. She felt guilty enough for not being able to take care of him in person at the moment.

After all, Jay was still a child who needed his mother. So she did her best to pacify him before hanging up.

However, their brief conversation only got Jay even more suspicious. With a serious look on his young face, Jay's little and flexible hands kept working fast through the keyboard.

Nicole didn't remember what time it was when the Fang family's driver sent her home, but it was already noon when she woke up.

Knowing that she still had a meeting to attend soon, she got up immediately and looked at Kerr beside her. He was still unconscious.
