The way Jay acted around Kerr when they arrived didn't escape Nicole's eyes. She noted that something must have happened while they were away.
When the little boy didn't reply, Nicole glanced at Kerr who stood beside her and said nothing.
After hanging up the phone, Jared rushed out of the villa. The moment he laid eyes on Kerr, he felt as if his savior had finally arrived.
"Mr. Gu, you are finally back!"
For the entire day, his phone rang non-stop. Jared not only had to handle the reporters outside, but he also had to stop Jay from leaving the villa.
But he couldn't disclose any of the information in front of Nicole. He had no choice but to look at Kerr perplexedly.
Looking at the bewildered look on the man's face, Kerr knew that something must have happened during his absence, even though he hadn't asked about it.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Jay, please tell Mommy, what happened? Didn't you always like Uncle Gu? Why are you so keen on going home now?"
Nicole squatted to Jay's eye level and looked at him seriously.
She knew that Jay was not an unreasonable child, so there must be an explanation behind his sudden change of heart.
"It's nothing. I just realized Mommy is right. We shouldn't disturb other people's life. Uncle Gu is very busy. We shouldn't waste his time."
He didn't tell the truth to Nicole because he didn't want her to get upset about what he found out. He had noticed that she was acting a little different towards Kerr.
Before Nicole spoke, the phone in Jay's hand rang. He answered it and put it to his ear.
"Okay, Uncle Fang, we'll be on our way out right now."
The little boy hung up the phone.
"Mommy, let's go. Uncle Fang has arrived."
Jay took his school bag from Vedder, and held his mother's hand, walking outside.
"Thank you, Grandpa, goodbye, I will miss you."
Jay said goodbye to Vedder politely, but ignored Kerr.
Jay led Nicole out o
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.
was holding him from the back and another picture showed that he was holding her shoulder. They looked like a lovely couple.
Kerr clenched the phone in his hand and his face was washed with anger.
He parked the car in front of Nicole's apartment. When Kerr saw that Jay took Nicole to their apartment and they went upstairs together, he wanted to wait for a bit to go and see Nicole. Baron, on the other hand, wanted to prevent that from happening.
Nicole glanced at Kerr's direction and said nothing. She took Jay directly into the elevator.
It was not until Nicole disappeared from his sight that Baron got out of the car and walked towards Kerr's car.
"Mr. Gu, let her go. She is just an ordinary girl. Your family has already arranged your marriage and decided who their daughter-in-law would be. Mr. Gu should know her personality well and she will never condescend to others.
What's more, I'm afraid that the Gu family may not be able to accept the existence of Jay and Nicole. I hope you won't bring any trouble to her."
Baron was being honest.
He knew that Kerr was a proud man, so if he threatened Kerr directly, he might not give up on Nicole easily. Only by reminding Kerr honestly could he realize the trouble he would bring to her. In that case, Kerr might let her go.
