The Reunion After Seven Years

Kerr couldn't help but feel a bit stunned at the question he had just heard.

No one had ever said that to him. He was used to having all the women around him just hoping that he would stay with them for a little while longer, and he had never met anyone who dared to say anything like that to him.

He had no idea how to answer her question. Of course, there was no denying that she had attracted his attention, maybe even enough for him to dote on her. But there was no telling how long he would actually stay interested in her.

Kerr loosened his grip and sat up at once, stopping his inquiry. There was something he needed to think about before anything else.

Because Nicole was not like the women he used to date.

As she looked at the blank expression on Kerr's face, Nicole gave off a sigh of relief. Relieved as she was, she also felt a sense of loss in her heart.

What exactly was she expecting? She should not have expected anything at all.

"Mommy, is the woman who left a moment ago my aunt?"

When he saw Bonnie leave the ward, Jay decided not to come inside because he wanted to give Kerr and Nicole some more time alone with each other. But he couldn't take it anymore—talking to Ken was just way too boring.

He decided to come inside to look for his mommy and Uncle Gu. Once he opened the door and saw that Uncle Gu was sitting in silence next to his mommy, he found himself feeling quite disappointed. Maybe he needed to do something to help Kerr.

"Yes! She has something else that she needs to do though, so she left in a hurry. I'll introduce you to her some other time, okay?"

Nicole reached out and grabbed her son's arm while trying her best to avoid looking at Kerr.

"Mr. Gu, I just received an overseas resume."

Jared saw the resume and the letter of recommendation from the CEO of the He Group on the screen. Obviously, it was Sunny He who wanted to apply for the job in Gu Group herself.

"Go back to the company."

Without taking the notebook from Jared's hands, Kerr immediately stood up and started walking towards the door. But just as he was about to step out of the ward, he stopped abruptly and said, "I'll pick up Jay and take him to school tomorrow morning."

Before Nicole even had the chance to respond and say no, Kerr had already left.
