Kerr was slightly annoyed. Perhaps it was because of the results of the test, or maybe not. He knew in his heart that he loved Nicole and would continue to do so no matter what. However, a part of him looked forward to the possibility of being Jay's true father.
"Hey, hey, what is wrong with you? Are you seriously planning to raise someone else's son?"
The seriousness in Kerr's face was already an answer for Harley. He looked at the man with wide eyes. Before he came back, he was informed of Nicole's existence by Ken. He had also mentioned Jay.
At first, he assumed that it was all an elaborate prank. However, once he saw Kerr's depressed face, he confirmed that Kerr's feelings for Nicole and her son were real.
"Watch what you say, Harley."
Kerr raised his head and gave Harley a domineering look.
Even though Harley had a point, his word choice was a little bit too harsh in Kerr's opinion.
The doctor gave an apologetic look once he realized that he might have crossed the line.
"Are you really interested in Nicole? Do you think that the Gu family will ever accept her and her son?"
That was their biggest problem. Nicole's chances of being accepted by the Gu family with no distinguished family background were already slim. If they found out about Jay, those chances would dwindle to zero.
"My business has nothing to do with the Gu family. I never wanted to let Nicole live with the Gu family members. My family is too complicated for Nicole. Besides, it wouldn't be a good environment for them."
Kerr leaned against the wall, his face was determined.
"Well, I see. If you like her, just keep her as a mistress. It's no big deal,"
Harley said in a playful tone. He had misunderstood Kerr's words. He thought Kerr meant to say that he wouldn't marry Nicole.
One could say that Harley was the opposite of Kerr and Ken. Over the years, Kerr and Ken had known the touch of several women, but Harley never took
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
e Gu told me that he would take good care of you, so I decided to give him another chance."
Jay freed himself from Kerr's arms and curled up beside Nicole again. It seemed that Jay could only feel the warmth of having a family when Kerr was around.
"I do not need him to look after me."
She didn't want his "kindness" at all. She glared at him. Those photos of Kerr and Sunny came to mind once again. Even though the Gu Group blocked the previous news with the bidding event, she still couldn't forget the image so easily.
There was also the fact that Kerr did not deny it when she asked about it. In fact, he didn't explain anything at all. She wasn't going to give her heart to someone so fickle and untrustworthy.
"I'm still sick; I can't take of you. So I asked Uncle Gu to take care of you. Do you really want me to worry, Mommy?"
The boy gave Nicole an expectant look.
She couldn’t help but scrape her nose in frustration but she dropped the subject anyway.
"I am hungry. Have you eaten dinner? I wonder if your godmother prepared some food for us,"
Nicole stated, talking mostly to herself because she was dedicated to ignoring Kerr. Since Jay was so attached to him, she knew that it would be impossible to make Kerr leave. So, she settled for acting as if he wasn't there.
