The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 219 You Bastard

Her knowledge of Kerr's soft spot for the baby in her belly was something she could not forget, and Nicole decided to use that fact to her advantage.

He burst into laughter upon hearing the threat. His lover's stubbornness proved to be prevalent this evening. He decided to enter the room using the adjacent balcony of the one beside his.

"But don't you think our baby also wants her daddy to be with her? I'm certain that's what she's telling you now." He easily leapt from one balcony to his while talking to Nicole on the phone, amused with the lengths he had to go through to enter his own room.

"Not at all, the baby said she feels warm and comfortable enough in my belly and doesn't need her daddy. She told me that it's better for Mommy to rest as early as possible. So, Mr. Gu, I must listen to my baby and drop this call."

Fortunately, she was carrying her baby. That was why she could talk with Kerr without scruple.

As soon as Nicole hung up the phone, she heard some noise from the balcony. She couldn't help but frown. With caution, she walked to it and parted the curtain in front of her. Suddenly, a black figure appeared and was making its way to the entrance to the room.

"Ah!" She shut her eyes in fear, and simultaneously screamed in horror.

"Nicole, it's just me. Don't be afraid." Kerr immediately outstretched his hands to hold Nicole in his arms and rubbed circles on her back to comfort her.

He didn't expect that she would find him out there. He didn’t want to scare her.

"Kerr! You bastard!" When she heard the familiar voice, she heart slowly calmed down. In annoyance, she began to thump on Kerr's chest as punishment for the sudden fright.

"It's alright, it's alright. It's my fault. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He examined her carefully. Her scream made it easy to derive the level panic she went through.

Nicole put her hand on her stomach and slightly bent down, "Ow, my stomach hurts."

Her voice was feeble and she didn't look at Kerr.

As soon as he heard the words from her lips, horror filled his thoughts and Kerr immediately reached out his hands without hesitation and lifted her to his arms. "Don't be worry. It will be fine. I'll take you to the hospital."

There was a serious expression on his face and it remained stoic though his mind was playing alarming scenarios deep inside.

"I'm kidding. I'm fine."

Nicole suddenly turned her head up and plastered a playful look for Kerr. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Kerr stopped and frowned, not amused at the joke she tried to pull off.

He couldn't help but get angry and his face darkened in result.

"Are you that upset with me? I wasn't joking completely. Just now, you really did scare me. If I was not strong enough, our baby would be in trouble." She crossed her arms in anger.

She just wanted to give Kerr a scare. She didn't expect that he would be so worried.

When he saw how Nicole looked pained, but was apparently just taking advantage of the situation to elicit a reaction from him, he was angry and yet, he felt helpless. "You can make jokes about everything else in the future, but this matter is off limits. If anything happens to you and our baby, I won't forgive myself."

The gravity of his words was evident in his tone. This was no laughing matter. For him, nothing was more important than Nicole and the baby, he vowed to protect them at all cost, so he was angry that she was trying to frighten him that way.

Taking a mental note on how he reacted, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I know. Don't worry. This is our baby. I won't let anyone hurt her."

The corners of her mouth slightly curled up as she rested her head on Kerr's shoulder.

He carried Nicole to the bed and then lay next to her. He held her in his arms and finally managed to smile. "Sleep tight. I'll be with you."

Nicole closed her eyes slowly. All the jokes and pranks were the happy moments in their lives.

As time went by, she clearly felt that the child in her belly was growing up bit by bit.

One month had passed.

Kerr had received a call from Ken early in the morning, and told him that the project of the Sea Heart Island had been completed. Kerr really wanted to tell Nicole the news as soon as possible, but he knew that it was not the right time to take her to the island.

After all, the issues in the Gu Group hadn't been completely solved yet.

"Ken said he would come back tonight. Let's have dinner together. You haven't come out in a while since Nicole got pregnant."

Harley looked at Kerr sitting opposite him. Recently, they had been working overtime. Harley had worked overtime to rebuild the Ning Group. And Kerr tried to get rid of the Gu Group, while Ken carried out his plan for the Sea Heart Island.

Only Nicole was having a good time and remained oblivious to what they'd been busy working on.

On hearing that, Kerr shook his head and said, "I promised Nicole that I would come back early. She's a big fan of baking recently. You can come to the villa and taste it tonight, if you want."

Truth be told, Kerr wasn't a big fan of pastries, or sweet food for that matter, but Nicole had been really into it recently, and he wanted to show her his support. In the beginning, he was interested in it, but as time went by, he didn't expect that she would make more and more kinds of desserts at home.

"No thank you. I still remember the cake last time."

Harley immediately waved his hand. Nicole asked him to taste-test what she baked the last time when he went to get some documents from Kerr. After that encounter, he ate the biggest piece of cake that he had ever had, which was still fresh in his memory, and to say the least, he was left traumatized.

"You can't stand it, huh? How will you find a girlfriend in the future? Liking a person means that you have to accept all her likes and dislikes, you do realize that, don't you?" Harley sighed in exasperation, knowing Kerr had a point.

But Harley wasn't planning to give in. "Then you should enjoy yourself. Why would I ever dare to steal your happiness away from you?" As soon as Harley finished his words, Kerr‘s phone rang.

The number on the screen displayed the caller ID from the Gu family's old house. Kerr simply frowned and rejected the call without hesitation.

During the past month, Kerr hadn't answered any of the calls from the Gu family, and Moore didn’t bother him for the time being. Now, Kerr was occupied with trying to look for clues and he didn't want to know anything about the Gu family at all.

And yet, his parents had enough power to relay information to Kerr, no matter how much he tried to avoid them.

"Master, Kelvin just called and he asked you to pass by your parents’ house tonight. He has something important to tell you."

With the phone in his hand, Jared walked into the office.

"Okay." But Kerr didn't plan to go back. "How long will it take to finish the plan for the Ning Group?" Kerr wanted to use the business of the Ning Group to divert Nicole's attention.

He also wanted to cheer Nicole up.

"Three days. When the final phase is ready, you can inform Nicole to take over the new Ning Group," Harley replied confidently.

Kerr nodded and stood up. He took his coat and directly drove back to his villa. As expected, Nicole was still in the kitchen.
