"Isn't it up to you to propose to me?" Nicole continued to ask.
She turned to look at Kerr, and both dissatisfaction and doubt played in her eyes.
"Do you want me to propose now? Okay, as you wish."
With his eyes fixed on her, Kerr held her shoulders, but before he could bend his knee, Nicole stopped him.
"I was just kidding. Do you think me serious?"
When Nicole saw Kerr's actions, she was surprised. Before Kerr could bend a knee, she stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm, stopping him from kneeling.
The moment Kerr bowed, Nicole sensed there was something wrong as her heart was racing.
She didn't expect that Kerr would really want to marry her. It was exactly what she had hoped for, but she couldn't feel happy when she recalled what happened this morning.
Kerr stood straight, watching the melancholy paint Nicole's face. There was an understanding look in his eyes. He was waiting for her to say something, but his intuition told him that she would remain silent and act tough.
A sudden ringing broke the silence between them.
Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Kerr looked at the Caller ID and tapped the answer button.
"What is it?" he said into the phone.
Head tilted quizzically to one side, Nicole gazed at Kerr. But she couldn't hear his replies above the hiss of the sea breeze.
She didn't know what the other party on the line said, but she saw Kerr hang up the phone immediately.
"Which do you want to hear first, good or bad news?"
Kerr mysteriously asked.
"The bad news."
Nicole had got used to dealing with bad news first. Only in this way could she enjoy the good news.
"You will be very tired for the next couple of days."
However, it wasn't really bad news for him to have Nicole with him all the time. Maybe the best way to protect her was to keep her in the Gu Group.
"What is the good news?"
In fact, Nicole had ventured a guess, but she was not sure. After all, the result
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.

Kerr drove Nicole back to the hospital, and they had dinner with Jay. They played with him for a while and once he was tired, they tucked him in before leaving his ward.
Closing the door to Jay's ward, Nicole looked exhausted.
"Are you tired?"
holding Nicole's hand, Kerr questioned her thoughtfully.
"I'm fine."
Nicole walked in the direction of her own private ward. Although she had recovered and could leave the hospital, Jay still needed to be watched over for some time. So it was more convenient for her to stay at the hospital.
Kerr raised his wrist and studied his watch, and a triumphant smile formed on his face.
"Come. Let me take you somewhere."
He held Nicole's hand and led her out of the hospital.
Not knowing what he was up to again, Nicole followed Kerr, who seemed to be acting a little strangely today. He seemed to have planned a lot of surprises and wanted to treat her.
Sitting in the car, Nicole closed her eyes and leaned her head against the door. Without realizing it, she soon fell asleep. When the car slowly stopped, she was still sleeping soundlessly.
In the driver's seat, Kerr turned and looked at the perfect face of his sleeping woman. He smiled lightly, opened the door, and got out of the car. Kim was already waiting next to the car for him.
