Kerr told Jay seriously as if enforcing a new rule.
It was his turn now to sleep in the same bed as Nicole.
"You're a grownup. Why can you sleep in the same bed as Mommy and I can't?"
Jay crossed his arms on his chest and looked at Kerr sternly as if challenging him to answer his question directly.
"If I don't sleep in the same bed as your mommy, how will you have a little brother or sister?"
Kerr reached for a night robe and put it on. He picked up Jay and walked to the bathroom.
"Then when will I have a little brother or sister?"
Although Jay was a bit disappointed that he could not sleep beside his mother anymore, the thought of having a little brother or sister soon filled his heart with excited joy.
He could show him or her off to Callie who also had a brother. He wondered if his future little sister would be as lovely as Callie.
"Soon."
Nicole overheard Kerr and Jay's conversation in the bathroom and felt inexplicably happy.
This was what she wanted.
Nicole slipped out of bed and put on some clothes. She was making the bed when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in. It's open."
Nicole tied her long hair into a ponytail.
"Your breakfast, Director Ning."
Jared walked in and set the food box on the table. He felt relieved by Kerr's absence.
"Thank you, Jared. I'm sorry to have bothered you during the past few days."
Nicole helped Jared pour the porridge into a bowl.
"You're always welcome, Director Ning."
Jared bowed and left the room.
Hand in hand, Kerr and Jay walked out of the bathroom and sat at the table. The three had breakfast quietly. From time to time, Kerr fed Jay his food.
"You should go back to work after breakfast. You must have a lot to do,"
Nicole told Kerr as she passed the bread to him.
"No hurry. When y
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.
more time with Nicole. He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into a business car parked outside.
"Where are you taking me?"
Inside the car, Nicole saw two more men who were dressed like the first one.
Her heart started racing. She did not know who these men were.
She asked them a lot of questions, but they kept silent.
The trip took forever. Nicole's patience was just about to run out when the car pulled over in front of a villa.
"We're here."
The man from the hospital opened Nicole's door.
Nicole hesitantly stepped out of the car and examined the villa in front of her. The place obviously belonged to someone either incredibly wealthy or noble born.
Slightly frowning, Nicole headed toward the front door.
The door then swung open, and a gentle, deep voice called from inside.
"Miss Ning, I've been expecting you."
Nicole walked in on a middle-aged man rising from the living room sofa. He smiled at her.
He was dressed in a dark gray suit and looked very energetic. Nicole could tell that he had been living the great life, although she did not really know him.
"Who are you? Why am I here? Don't you know that I can sue you for taking me here against my will?"
