And that strong sense of unease that bordered on alarm slid through her, especially now, Jay was still with her.
"Someone wants to see you. Miss Ning, please come with me,"
Cherry politely replied, lowering her head. Then her gaze softened when it landed on the little boy behind Nicole.
After Nicole keenly observed the woman, she stepped back a little before quickly turning around and squatted beside Jay. Scanning his face calmly, she approached his ear and said in a low voice,
"Wait for me for a minute. Mommy will catch this woman, but then you will have to run back to the hospital and look for Dr. Su. Do you understand?"
Although Nicole instinctively knew that there must be a lot of people hiding in the surrounding, she still wanted to give her plan a try. She didn't care about the people. What mattered to her now was that Jay had just recovered, and she couldn't afford to risk his life.
Jay instinctively looked at Cherry behind Nicole with a devoid expression on his small face. And then he discreetly focused his eyes on the black Rolls Royce parked behind this unknown woman. Having a firm grasp of their current situation, Jay finally looked at Nicole and nodded knowingly.
Nicole calmed herself down as she raised her hand to caress Jay's hair tenderly. Breathing a soft sigh, she slowly stood up and faced Cherry.
"Didn't we agree on a deadline being tomorrow? I have one day left to figure out everything,"
Nicole managed to voice out as she attempted to attract Cherry's attention. While at the same time, she silently let go of Jay's hand from her back, making a quick hand gesture to him.
Being smart at his young age, Jay cleverly understood the hint of his mother. And without saying another word, he sped back to the hospital as fast as he could.
"You..."
Looking at Jay, who was suddenly escaping, Cherry wanted to stop him but failed when Nicole immediately grabbed her arm with all her might. Jay ran back to the hospital as his mother silently watched from afar, holding her breath as she fought a rising panic within her.
"I tell you, though the Gu family is influential and formidable, you can do whatever you want to me. I chose to be with Kerr. It has nothing to do with Jay. If you dare hurt him, I will not let you go even if I die,"
Nicole warned as she put pressure on Cherry's arm. She sounded firm, enunciating each word as she stood her ground, still glaring at Cherry.
She vowed inwardly that under her protection and as long as she lived, nobody or no one could ever tou
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.
be with Kerr, you should know what to do and what not to do."
Harley sighed. It was the first time for him to see a woman captured Freya's attention.
"I know. Jay, can you wait for me in the car?"
She gazed at Jay lovingly as she caressed his face with both of her palms. She was terrified that Kerr's mother would say something unpleasant and hurt her son emotionally.
"Okay,"
Jay nodded obediently.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Nicole got out of the car. She gingerly sauntered towards the coffee house. The lingering sense of unease rose again, this time more strongly. Cherry was waiting for her at the door of a private room. When she noticed Nicole, she readily opened the door for her.
As she slowly approached the private room, Nicole carefully regarded the woman sitting on a chair. She had exquisite makeup on her face. She wrapped herself in a dark gray cheongsam and a cape with the same pattern, making her appear more noble and outstanding.
"Hello, Mrs. Gu,"
Nicole nodded slightly to Freya. Her demeanor showed not a trace of panic, but a very respectful attitude.
Gracefully raising her head, Freya studied the younger woman carefully in front of her. Wearing a beautiful dress, she looked neat, and her delicate features could still be stunning even without makeup.
And her big and smart eyes seemed expressive. No wonder Kerr was so smitten with her. There was an expression of understanding in Freya's eyes.
"Have a seat."
Freya casually motioned for Nicole to sit opposite to her.
Nicole nodded and silently settled herself down. Her fingers were trembling, but she kept on urging herself mentally to relax and maintained her composure.
