The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 151 What Kind Of Child She Gave Birth To

Even though Nicole had tried to persuade Kerr, his mind was already made as he stood beside her.

In this critical period, Kerr didn't want to leave Nicole. Especially now that her and Jay's identities had been exposed, and he didn't have to worry about anyone finding out about them.

"I promised you that I would never leave you and Jay again."

Recognizing the determined look on Kerr's face, Nicole offered him a faint smile followed by a helpless sigh towards Freya. In the end, she didn't want to force Kerr to do something against his will, so she was about to leave with him when Freya intervened.

"Miss Ning, although Kerr doesn't care about these things now, they are very important to him. I hope you realize that."

Freya knew that the only way to get to Kerr now was through Nicole. She was the only one who could persuade him, and Freya wouldn't shy away from resorting to that if it would stop her son from being so careless.

After hearing Freya's words, Nicole sighed once more and looked up at Kerr.

"Let's go to the Gu family residence together then."

Nicole wanted to be with Kerr, so this was a compromise she was willing to make for him. Who knows if she helped him keep everything that was his, Freya would start to see her differently?

Perhaps the Gu family would finally stop trying to break them up.

Nicole had already lost her biological parents. Every time she remembered that they wouldn't be there to bless her on her wedding day, she felt sad. However, she still held on to the hope that the Gu family could still grant hers and Kerr's union their blessing somehow.

Even if Kerr said he didn't care about it, deep down, everyone would like to have their parents' approval.

"Nicole, I want you, and it's me who you want to be with. So, please, you don't have to compromise for anyone or anything. You just need to be yourself."

Kerr was the reason why Nicole was trying to please the Gu family. But he didn't want to cause her any distress. In fact, all he hoped for was to use their time to make it up for the past seven years.

"I know. But I just want to be with you no matter where we are."

Taking Kerr's arm, Nicole nodded to Freya before they started to walk out of the lounge.

Moore immediately clenched his fists on each side of his body as his cold eyes followed Nicole's and Kerr's backs.

Sunny also reacted at the sight of the couple leaving. At first, she opened her mouth but gave up saying anything. Instead, she reached out and grabbed Freya's hand, who was sitting next to her.

"Aunt, Nicole can't be with Kerr. She will bring him nothing but trouble. She's deceiving him."

Sunny could only count on the members of the Gu family to advance on her plans now. She should be grateful that she had a family that Nicole didn't on her side.

"Don't worry, I see it. You may leave now and wait to hear from me."

Freya patted on Sunny's hand. Indeed, compared to Nicole, Sunny had much more to offer to Kerr. After all, she had extensive connections inside the He family. This only thought caused Freya to sigh with worry.

Who could have foreseen that instead of tearing Kerr and Nicole apart as they wanted, they would have actually helped a mother to prove her son's identity?

Sunny then stood up and side-eyed Moore before finally leaving.

Meanwhile, in the car, Kerr had Jay in his arms and Nicole's hand into his.

"Kerr, why did you have the audio of Fiona and Gregory's conversation?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Nicole realized this wasn't Kerr's style, but the recording had surely been made with his phone.

"Why don't we ask Jay?"

Lowering his head, Kerr looked at the sleepy child, who suddenly squirmed in his arms with excitement.

"Uncle is smarter than you, Mommy. You are so dummy."

Jay covered his mouth, laughing at Nicole. He used to think that his mother was awesome, but now she seemed to have fallen behind Kerr.

Nicole looked at Jay, clueless of what he meant, but she was definitely curious.

"Did you do it?"

In her eyes, Jay was only a child even though he was a little smarter than most at his age.

But Nicole was yet to learn that her son had many secrets.

"They were unlucky. I happened to see them when I went to the bathroom before the celebration party began, so I followed them and heard everything,"

Jay said matter-of-factly, but Nicole widened her eyes in fear.

"Jay, do you realize how dangerous this was? What if they had seen you and taken you away? How would've I found you then?"

She didn't want to think about what would have happened to Jay if Fiona and Gregory had busted him.

But she knew that she should pay more attention to Jay's safety from now on.

"Don't worry. I will send someone to keep you and Jay safe."

Kerr saw how apprehensive Nicole looked and tried to comfort her.

Jay, on the other hand, stuck his tongue out at his mother's worried grimace.

"Even so, we have to be careful."

Nicole stared at Jay in concern.

"Did you find Sven's wife?"

Nicole didn't fail to notice that, right before Sven's wife stepped into the room, Jay had oddly called him Father. Her son, however, must have known that the woman was near and deliberately called Sven that way so she could hear it.

Looking back and forth between Kerr's and Nicole's serious expressions, Jay knew he had to come clean.

"I took his phone when he wasn't paying attention. And when I left the room with Uncle Su, I called his wife."

Evidently, he skipped the part that he had also used Harley's identity to give orders to the security detail.

"You!"

Nicole was shocked, but there was nothing she could do about what he did now. When the grown-ups had been so deep into trouble, it had been a child who was able to see through everyone so clearly.

She didn't understand what kind of child she gave birth to. Generally speaking, children would be frightened and crying in the face of such an upsetting situation. But not Jay. In fact, he hadn't only been fine but was also able to help them.

"Did Harley help you?"

Kerr asked. He knew no security guards would listen to a child such as Jay before his identity was exposed. Considering this, he could only think about one person who could have allowed Sven's wife's entrance—Harley.

"No, he didn't even know about it. I told the guard at the gate myself, but I asked Uncle Su to take me there."

Proud of his deeds, Jay smiled, looking forward to Kerr's praise.

After all, despite his cleverness, Jay was still a child in search of an adult's recognition.
