The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 60

Jay was eating his lunch peacefully when his mobile phone vibrated in his pocket. He took out his phone curiously and saw that Kerr had sent him a message. Looking at the picture sent by Kerr, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He immediately dialed his number.

"Uncle Gu, you shouldn't take advantage of Mommy while she is sleeping!"

Although he fervently hoped for his mommy to be together with Kerr, he would still respect her mommy's wishes. No one should force her to do something against her will, including Uncle Gu. He would not let anyone hurt his mommy.

"She is just sleeping. I didn't do anything to her," Kerr assured Jay.

When he heard Jay's tender but protective voice, Kerr had a strange feeling.

"Okay. I think Mommy is sleepy because she stayed up last night. Don't forget to remind her to eat. She tends to skip meals when she gets too focused on work. I will go to class now, Uncle."

Jay hung up with a happy smile on his face.

Kerr put down his phone and decided to let Nicole rest. This bid was of great importance. Normally, he would closely oversee important projects like this instead of assigning it to someone else.

However, Nicole would be able to make great accomplishments if she successfully handled this project. Thus, he wanted to hand over the project to Nicole and give her the chance to prove herself. In any case, regardless of whether she completed this task or not, he would always stand by her side and back her up.

His eyes went to the closed door. There was a tender look in his eyes that no one had ever seen before.

Meanwhile, Nicole was sleeping soundly while unaware of the tender gaze she was receiving from the man behind the door. She continued to sleep deeply until dusk fell. Finally feeling rested, she turned over to the other side but did not get up because the bed was so soft.

When she finally opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar room. Surprised, she suddenly sat up and looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

She looked a little panicked. She got out of the bed and tidied up her appearance as best as she could.

The lounge was designed to maintain Kerr's privacy, so it was pretty much secluded and hard to navigate. That was why it took a lot of work for Nicole to find the exit.

Hearing the noise coming from the lounge, Kerr knew that Nicole had woken up. In order to fetch her, he stood up and walked directly towards the lounge. As he turned the knob and pushed the door open, he heard a thud.

"Ouch!" Nicole shrieked in pain.

She was standing at the door when she was suddenly pushed to the ground when the door opened. As she sat on the floor, she raised her hand to touch her forehead with a frown on her face. Thankfully, her face was not wounded. She lifted her gaze to get a look at the man towering over her.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing the disheveled Nicole, Kerr crouched down and grabbed her chin to carefully examine her face. Awkwardly, she pulled his hand away from her face.

"Why are you here? Where am I?"

The last thing she remembered doing was taking a nap. Instead of waking up in her office, she was dumbfounded to find herself in an unfamiliar room. Since Kerr was here, there was no doubt that he was involved with this incident.

"How's your forehead?"

He didn't answer her question, and inquired after her injury instead.

"Never mind. I know Mr. Gu is very busy. I should go now."

She stood up and fixed her clothes while ignoring Kerr. Right when she was about to go outside, Kerr grabbed her arm firmly.

"What do you want?"

When she turned her face to look at Kerr, she frowned slightly. The affection she had for him last night disappeared with time.

"You already know what I want, don't you?"
