"Haven't we reached an agreement, Jay? You need to sleep alone tonight."
She had never compromised on parenting Jay. Although she doted on him, she never indulged him.
"This is the last night, I promised."
Jay played his trump card again, and put on his innocent look that no one had the heart to refuse him.
Finally, it was Nicole who compromised and made room for him. "You must keep your words!" Nicole looked helpless.
Jay nodded seriously and walked towards the bed happily.
In the banquet hall.
As soon as Kerr showed up, he became the focus of the crowd. Though he was only wearing a black suit, a dark purple shirt and a tie of the same color, it was Nicole who had picked the clothes for him.
Even though he kept a low profile, his fame and status still attracted lots of people's attention as soon as he showed up.
But Kerr didn't have any reaction. He went to the sofa and sat down, with his legs crossed, waiting for someone to come.
Looking at Kerr was alone, Avery was stunned. She walked up to him, but was stopped by Jared.
"Where is Nicole? Didn't Nicole come?" The host of the party was the Lin Group.
When Kerr heard Avery's voice, he gave a sign to Jared with his eyes, indicating that he didn't need to stop her. Then he looked up at Avery and said, "Miss Lin, Nicole is pregnant, so she stays at home for a rest. If you are free, you can drop by."
He knew that Nicole valued Avery very much, so if Avery could be with Nicole, Nicole must be very happy. And he would do anything to make her happy.
After hearing what Kerr said, Avery nodded slightly. "Speaking of which, I made a contribution for your relationship with Nicole. Now that you have won her heart, you must invite me to dinner, right?"
She didn't forget that Kerr had been waiting for Nicole downstairs
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.
to be engaged to you?"
It never occurred to Avery that Zachary would say such words, nor did she think that she would marry him. After all, in the past more than twenty years, she had only taken him as her brother.
But Zachary had never treated Avery as his sister. He put his arms around her waist and nodded to Kerr. "Mr. Kerr, I also want to have a talk with you, but I have to go now. I'll invite you alone another day."
After that, Zachary took Avery out of Kerr's sight.
Squinting at the back of Zachary, Kerr ordered, "I want to know more about this guy." Kerr sensed that Zachary knew some secrets, but he felt that Zachary was not his enemy.
But since Zachary knew that he was injured, it seemed that things were not that simple.
Jared stood beside Kerr and nodded.
In the corner of the room, Sunny saw Kerr sitting on the sofa. She tidied up her dress and was about to walk towards him. Unexpectedly, Nicole wasn't with him today.
It was a good chance for her. How could she give up?
But when Sunny just took one step, her wrist was grabbed by someone. Before she could see who the person was, she was taken to the garden outside the banquet hall.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
