The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 214

Nicole hated the thought of having to share her man with another woman.

A faint smile appeared on Kerr's face. He looked at Nicole, her face a contorted mix of jealousy and worry. He put his arm around her and pulled her in, onto his lap.

"You look so cute all jealous with your little pout." Kerr couldn't resist her cuteness and leaned in to kiss the corner of her mouth.

Nicole was a little annoyed that Kerr was still joking around. It didn't seem to matter to him at all that she was bothered and this made her frown. "Kerr, I think you owe me an explanation." She tried to sound firm but Kerr's calm demeanor worried her.

"Explanation? For what? I haven't done anything. What am I supposed to explain?"

Kerr had nothing to worry about. No matter what Sunny would say, he would stick to his word about not having done anything wrong.

Despite the situation, he liked seeing Nicole get jealous because of him. This meant that she definitely loved him. She probably would not have cared otherwise.

"Please stop fooling around Kerr. I am in no mood for this and I just want a serious, straightforward answer. Cheating is the one thing I cannot stand and you will regret doing it for the rest of your life."

Nicole didn't want Kerr to see how nervous she was. She struggled to keep a straight face but seeing Kerr so calm was making her really mad. He didn't seem at all bothered about Sunny's arrival.

She felt like a complete mess and her nerves were out of control. She didn't like the way she had become, always insecure.

Kerr held Nicole's hand and gently kissed her slender fingers. He looked at her and felt nothing but affection for her.

"Nicole, I made a promise that I would love you, and only you, for the rest of my life and I intend to keep that promise. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to other women. I have you and our baby. That's all I will ever need."

Kerr had been with other women before, but once Nicole came into his life, romance took on a whole new meaning. All the sweetest words in the world were not enough to express his love for her.

Kerr would do anything to see Nicole smile. It was the most innocent and loving smile he had seen and it could melt his heart.

Nicole finally calmed down a little and when she did, she saw the love in his eyes. She realized his response was genuine and chose to believe him. A little smile came over her face. She bowed her head to hide it and started playing with his fingers to keep her eyes averted.

All of a sudden the door opened. "Kerr, you left in a hurry and forgot to take your phone." Sunny walked in confidently and stopped short when she saw Nicole on Kerr's lap in front her.

Her confidence was immediately taken over by hatred at the sight before her. She had never much liked Nicole, the jealousy had always existed. But this took things to a whole new level. This hatred was much stronger than the jealousy she ever felt.

Last night had made her feel like Kerr was her man now. Despite being aware of the situation, she couldn't bring herself to be comfortable with Nicole and Kerr being together.

Feeling real love for a person meant that it would be unbearable to witness them involved with another person.

She walked over to the desk and placed the phone on it, all the while not taking her eyes off Kerr. She pretended to not even notice Nicole as she smiled at him. "Your mother wants us to have dinner with her at her place when we are both free."

Sunny turned around as if to walk but instead, she sat down in the chair opposite to them. She flipped her hair back to reveal the hickey on her neck as she held her head high.

When compared to Nicole, she had an upper hand when it came to the Gu family and she knew how to use it to her advantage. She had more of a chance with Kerr than Nicole did.

Nicole had spotted the red mark the moment Sunny had walked in, but a part of her didn't want to believe it was a hickey.

But with the overt display Sunny was taking the trouble to make, it was obvious to Nicole that it was indeed a hickey. She tightened her grip on Kerr's hand.

"We aren't engaged any longer. If you want to visit my parents you can contact them directly. It has nothing to do with me."

Kerr frowned as he said this but he was aware of Sunny's intentions. This became evident when he saw the mark on her neck. He felt the fear creep into his heart and Nicole shifted uneasily on his lap.

His relationship with Nicole meant everything to him but he knew that Sunny made Nicole extremely jealous and angry.

"Things are not the same now Kerr. I used to love you blindly and I wanted to marry you. I ignored a lot of things then for the sake of the relationship.

But now I want to experience some real romance before I can think of a marriage. It makes more sense now. So, how about we start afresh? I mean, if I'm not wrong, you didn't exactly push me away last night, did you?"

One side of Sunny's lips curled up into a cruel smile as she watched Kerr tremble in his chair. She looked him in the eye, waiting for his response.

Her words felt like daggers in Nicole's heart. It was more than she could bear.

Nicole slid off Kerr's lap and crudely shook his arms away. She shot a dark look at Sunny before looking back at him.

"What is all this Kerr? What is she talking about? Am I suddenly not enough for you? Are you not satisfied with me?" Nicole knew Kerr's condition the night before.

She had been a little suspicious but this took her anxiety to a new extreme. Ever since her pregnancy, they had had to restrain themselves from being intimate.

She had heard that pregnancy could be challenging for a couple as men often strayed due to lack of self-restraint. Somehow, she had chosen to believe Kerr was not one of those men.

Kerr knew that Nicole had to have been extremely angry to have asked him that. If it wasn't for Sunny provoking her, Nicole would have never considered being so outright and somehow, this made him laugh.

"Nicole, if you can't satisfy me, then no woman in the world could ever hope to do so. I know that some men fall in love for sex and maybe I used to be one of those men. But ever since I met you, I have only wanted to be intimate with you because I am so sure of my love for you.

You are all that I need."

A convincing and firm confirmation was what Nicole needed to hear from Kerr and he was aware of that. He placed his hand over her baby bump and felt the life that was growing inside of her.

Nicole wasn't sure how much of this she could believe but his words calmed her down a little. Regardless of what the truth was, she would make sure that Sunny knew she was a strong woman and not a pushover. She would question Kerr later if she had to, but not in front of Sunny.

"Betrayal is the one thing I will never tolerate, Kerr. You dare get involved with another woman and we are finished! Nothing you say could ever change my mind." She loved him, but it was important that she warned him of this.
