Making her way to the big tree, Nicole sat beside Kerr and snuggled up to him.
She couldn't tell what exactly happened, if it was all an illusion or not, but she could sense his sadness even though he was smiling. Nonetheless, looking at him now, she was relieved to find his face washed with calmness.
Traces of the cold, powerful man was nowhere to be found, rather she was in the arms of the man she loved.
He placed his arm around Nicole's shoulder and gently kissed her hair.
"Aren't you curious about it?"
From how he knew Nicole, he found it quite odd that she was so quiet by his side. It was a rare sight.
"You will tell me when you're ready."
With a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Nicole spoke in a firm tone. Although she was very curious, she didn't want to force Kerr to tell her about his past.
"It's not something that I want to share it with you. It's not a pleasant story. I don't want to scare you away."
He wanted to avoid talking about what happened in his past.
He knew that Nicole had a simple life, and the background of his family was too complicated for her. He was worried that she might get scared off. Because of that all he wanted was to decrease Nicole's involvement in his past life.
With the incident last night, the Gu family was bound to investigate the people around him.
"Alright, then you should at least tell me a good story."
She decided not to prod on the topic again.
She didn't want to remind him of the bad memories, so she tried to change the subject.
"A good story? Let's see. Oh I know a good one. There was once a hedgehog that was picked up by a hunter by accident. The hunter was very fond of the hedgehog, but the hedgehog always pricked him with its quills. Then the hunter found out that the hedgehog was just upset that he had a lot of other pets.
Since then, the hunter threw away all the pets around him and made the h
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.
ve her back to the Gu family villa.
As soon as Nicole got out of the car, Jay ran out of the villa and put his arm around his mother's leg.
"Mommy, I miss you so much!"
Feeling the small arms on her legs, she bent down and held her son in her arms.
"I'm sorry, Jay, I won't leave you for such a long time again, okay?"
Nicole kissed Jay on his face and looked at him tenderly.
Seeing that Jay was so dependent on his mother, Kerr didn't want her to be tired. Although Jay was thin, he was a seven-year-old boy after all. Nicole looked tired holding Jay in her arms, so Kerr decided to walked towards them.
"Jay, your mommy is tired, come here."
He extended his hand to Jay, signaling him to come to his arms, but Jay looked at him and turned away. He got down from Nicole, held her hand, and ignored him.
"Mommy, let's go home, please? I have already asked Uncle Fang to pick us up. He will be here soon."
Jay looked up seriously.

"What's the matter, Jay? Don't you like living here?"
A few days ago, if it weren't for Jay, she wouldn't have come to Kerr's villa at all. But now, the boy actually wanted to leave.
