The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 199 A Family Reunion

"Are you proposing?"

Nicole knew that it was impossible for them to get married at that time, and that they still had many obstacles to prevent them. However, she still couldn't resist a thrill of excitement at the prospect.

In this world, there is no woman who isn't looking forward to her own wedding.

Seeing the hopeful expectation in Nicole's eyes, Kerr felt a bit guilty. Even though Nicole was carrying his child, he still hadn't given her the respectability of a married woman.

He knew how much stress Nicole had endured for him. This knowledge made him cherish her all the more.

"Nicole, on the day I propose to you at last, I'll tell everyone that you're my woman." Kerr's promise was deep and sincere. She could see it in his tender eyes. He had firmly made up his mind.

Kerr's face was perfectly serious as he looked Nicole in the eye. Nicole smiled and nodded.

"Kerr, I know what's in your heart. You don't have to be so anxious to reassure me. It's not a life-and- death issue for me anyway. As long as I can stay by your side, I will always be satisfied."

She knew that the difficulties she was currently facing were out of Kerr's expectations. She didn't want to give him so much pressure.

Kerr extended his arms and wrapped her into a warm embrace.

He held her in his arms and closed his eyes. He stayed with her until she was sound asleep and comfortable under the blankets in the lounge. Then he went back to his office.

In the bathroom

Moore looked at the documents in his hand. He was beaming with triumph. With this information in his hands, all of Nicole's efforts in recent days would be in vain.

Lily looked anxiously at Moore's complacent face. She was full of worry. "I followed your instructions. Will you return those pictures to me?"

She hated the idea of betraying Nicole, but she had been left with no choice. Her first priority at that moment was to protect herself.

Her voice registered faintly in his ears. In his exultant mood, Moore barely had any thoughts to spare for her. He raised his head and looked into her eyes, and then extended his hand and gently pinched her chin. "As long as you behave well, I won't let those photos be leaked to the public.

I still need you to do one more thing for me. You must be aware that Nicole is pregnant. I want you to think of a way to abort that child."

Moore decided to kill that baby before the Gu family became aware of Nicole's pregnancy. It would be a tremendous headache if Nicole had to be brought into the Gu family because of the child in her belly.

He had looked down upon Nicole in the past, but now he had to keep an eye on her. Even though she was still just a woman, Kerr had given her an important role to occupy on his behalf in the Gu Group.

Moore's demand made Lily's eyes nearly pop out of her head. She exclaimed in shock, "That's impossible!" Lily was intimidated by Moore's threat, but the baby in Nicole's belly was a human being.

Losing a child was the most horrible thing a mother could experience. Lily didn't dare to commit such an atrocious crime.

Moore stepped closer to Lily and said, "You have no choice. You must find the opportunity. Nicole trusts you very well, so you will surely find a chance. I trust you."

Then he turned around and walked out of Lily's sight.

After Moore left, Lily leaned against the door and slid down slowly to the floor, inch by inch. She buried her face in her hands.

Nicole was sleeping soundly in the lounge. With Kerr by her side, she wasn't afraid of anything in the world.

It was getting dark, but Kerr didn't wake her up. Instead, he picked her up and carried her in his arms, as he walked towards the underground parking lot.

Until Nicole was carried into his car, she remained soundly asleep. The trace of a smile could be seen on Kerr's face.

Jared drove the car at a steady speed as they went back to the villa. When he parked the car, he saw Jay coming out of the villa.

"Mommy!" When Jay saw Kerr carrying Nicole out of the car, he ran up to them in excitement.

Nicole woke up drowsily and rubbed her eyes. The first thing she saw was Kerr's gentle eyes and lips forming a slight smile.

"Kerr, it feels like I was dreaming of Jay. I miss him. Let's go and take him back, okay?"

It was a challenging time when Kerr was in a coma. Nicole didn't have the energy to take care of Jay and Kerr at the same time. She was also afraid that Jay might be scared, so she had Jay sent away.

Being separated from him was a terrible burden on her mind. Since Jay was born, he had never been away from her.

Kerr put her down gently.

"Mommy, I'm here!"

When Jay heard that his mother was still thinking of him, his sadness and his discontent completely vanished. He wrapped his arms around Nicole‘s legs.

In fact, he also wanted to hug Nicole just like Kerr did, but he wasn't tall enough to reach her. He wanted to grow up quickly so that he could protect Nicole.

Feeling the weight on her legs, she lowered her head and was surprised to see that Jay had suddenly appeared in front of her. She squatted down and hugged his little body.

"Sorry, darling. I wish I had never sent you away."

Nicole knew Jay was still a very young and sensitive child. It was too hard on him to be sent to a strange environment.

When he saw the tears that were ready to burst out of Nicole's eyes, Jay gently held her face and said, "Mommy, don't worry. I'm fine. I'm happy to be home now."

Kerr felt a surge of relief as he looked at them. Loving her as much as he did, how could he fail to guess what she had been worried about?

So the first thing he did after he woke up from the coma was to call Ken and tell him to send Jay back. He knew that Nicole would be overjoyed when she found out.

"Don't squat for too long. There's a baby inside you now."

Kerr then placed his arm around her shoulders and led her into the villa with Jay.

On the sofa, Jay sat next to Nicole, and his little hand carefully and curiously stroked her underbelly, which was still flat.

"Mommy, is there really a little sister inside?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Jay was very curious about the unborn baby. Even though he was very smart, he didn't know much about the facts of life.

Nicole looked at him with a warm smile. "I do have a little person inside there, but I don't know if it's a little brother or a sister."
