"Don't worry about it. Did Jared tell you anything?"
Kerr casually picked up an apple from the nightstand and started peeling it. He did not seem worried at all.
"No. I heard it from someone else. Oh, by the way, Kim told me last night that he found tire tracks on the edge of the cliff. Is that true?"
Nicole frowned slightly. It was a matter of life and death. No matter how powerful the Gu Group was, that kind of thing was still troublesome to deal with.
Kerr cut a small piece of the apple and fed it to Nicole.
"No, it's not. It rained a lot yesterday. What Kim saw was just gravel that slid down the mountain. I already took care of it. You just focus on taking care of yourself now."
He did not want the surprise he had prepared to become a nuisance to Nicole.
Actually, he had blocked the news about that incident last night. A car had indeed fallen off the mountain, and Kerr had compensated the victim's bereaved.
It would only burden Nicole, so Kerr decided to keep her in the dark.
"I'm fine now. What about the bidding? Besides... Hmm..."
Before Nicole could finish talking, Kerr was already kissing her passionately.
Kerr tasted Nicole's sweetness and drank her up like fine wine. She was impossibly beautiful like an entire poppy flower field in full bloom. He was addicted to her and slowly becoming dependent on her.
"If you're in good spirits, I don't mind finishing what we started last night."
With a playful look in his eyes, Kerr lifted his hand and started to unbutton his shirt.
"I'm still so tired. I don't
uth.
"I'm honored, Mr. Gu.
Then you must protect me and Jay. Don't let us down."
Nicole had never believed in fate until she met Kerr. Maybe he was right. She was destined to be with him.
She was destined to meet Kerr, to give birth to Jay, and to let them meet again.
"I will. Give me some time to solve all the problems here, and then we will leave."
Ever since falling for Nicole, all Kerr could think about was leaving with her and Jay. Suddenly, he did not want anything else. All he wanted was Nicole, the lovely woman he was destined to love with all his heart.
"By the way, I just remembered. Tell me, what's going on between you and Sunny?"
Nicole would never forget that intimate photo. She pinched one of Kerr's ears, pretending to be angry with him.
Kerr found it adorable.
He knew that she was jealous. He used to hate explaining to jealous women, but now, he did not mind.
"My Nicole is angry. Let me think, what has happened between me and Sunny... We had been engaged under the elders' arrangement..."
