On hearing this, Baron was shocked.
"Mom, you don't expect me to live up to my childhood joke, do you?"
He would have totally forgotten about that incident if it wasn't mentioned by his mother just now. Even if he did remember, how could he take that promise seriously? At that time, he didn't know what love and marriage meant. He was still innocent to the inner workings of the Fang family.
Why would she bring that up now? Before crossing paths with Nicole, he didn't know what real love was. He started and ended his relationships without an immense joy or sadness usually felt when one was in love. Now, he was 100 percent sure of his feelings for her.
He loved her so much. Even though he wasn't sure whether she loved him or not, he would still offer his heart to her wholly.
"You can make your decision after you meet her. I won't force you, but if you can get along well with her, it will be a good thing for us. After all, our families are well matched."
Baron's mother persuaded him patiently as she saw that he was frowning.
The future daughter-in-law of the Fang family must be generous and sensible. More importantly, she must belong to a family of equal social rank.
"Mom, I'm a grown man. I can make decisions on my own. Besides, I'm already in love with someone else, so I can't keep the promise I made when I was a child."
Baron leaned tiredly on the sofa and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
He still hadn't helped Nicole solve her big issue with Kerr, and his mother had already gotten him in trouble. He was unable to cope with what was happening. What troubled him the most was that he faintly felt that Nicole had changed her mind. freewe(b)novel.comfreew ebnov el
He had thought that she wouldn't mind the lie he told to Kerr, but it turned out that she didn't want him to help her at all.
Baron's mother was surprised to hear this. It was her first time hearing those words from Baron, so she was very curio
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.
all, Jay didn't seem close to Baron who had been around him since he was a baby. On the contrary, the boy only met Kerr lately but he already seemed very attached to him.
She didn't care whether Kerr believed that Baron was the father of Jay, but she had to make him understand her attitude. Jay was her only child and it had nothing to do with anyone.
'Even if Kerr finds out the true identity of Jay one day, I won't let him meddle with me.'
"Since you and Baron already broke up, why would you give birth to his baby? Do you still love him?"
What bothered Kerr the most was whether she still loved Baron. Was it the reason why she always tried to keep a distance from him?
He was concerned about Nicole's feelings towards Baron. It seemed that he not only wanted to keep her, but also wanted to conquer her heart.
Even if Nicole already had a child with another man, Kerr had to make sure she had forgotten that man. He wanted her to love him whole-heartedly.
"No, I don't. Yes, I gave birth to Jay but he had nothing to do with it. Now that I've been able to raise him myself these years, I don't need anyone else to take care of him," she explained.
"What's more, since Baron and I have already separated, there is no need for us to think about each other anymore."
