The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 63

Angering the woman would be unwise for Vedder.

Eyes following his mother's back disappearing into the bathroom, Jay looked pensive.

"Uncle Gu, don't scare Mommy. She looks strong, but she is also very fragile,"

he said, turning to look at Kerr with the most earnest look he could muster.

"I know."

Nicole's wariness didn't escape his eyes. Swirling the wine gently in his glass, Kerr took a sip.

The wine tasted sweet, but not as sweet as Nicole.

"What do you think of living here with your mommy in the future?"

The idea ran through Kerr's mind for quite a while now, and he couldn't let go of it. The thought of the possibility that it could happen made him happy.

Looking at the boy sitting across him, he knew the likelihood of this outcome.

"What good does it do to me?"

Jay liked Kerr, a lot. He would be over the moon if his mother and Uncle Gu got together,

but it didn't mean that he'd let her do something she wouldn't want to do. He would never do that.

"How does it benefit me?" Jay asked again. "I can't sell my mommy out like that, not to mention that I've done nothing but help you and try to push you both in that direction, and yet you still haven't won her heart. I'm starting to doubt you, Uncle. I'm seriously thinking of dropping it," he added.

No matter how much he supported Kerr, his mother's happiness was his top priority.

Jay raised his eyebrows doubtfully at Kerr. He had a delicate face with intense maturity.

"You can get what you want on the third floor."

Kerr was unmoved by the boy's query. There was no doubt that Nicole would eventually marry him sooner or later. He would see to it that it would be done.

"OK. I wish you success!"

Jay winked at Kerr. Although he hadn't seen anything what the man prepared for him, he trusted Kerr from the bottom of his heart. And what he said a moment ago was meant to make Kerr wary more than anything.

In the washroom, Nicole turned on the tap and let the cold water run through her hands. But her panic wasn't alleviated.

While her son grew up, she started to notice the similarities that Jay and Kerr had in terms of their personalities and hobbies. She didn't know if she could keep up the lie, especially now that the two were getting even closer to each other.

Although Kerr hadn't said anything, she had to keep up the act. If he found out Jay's real identity, she wouldn't know how to explain herself.

She took out her phone from her pocket. The only person who could help her right now was Baron.

"I need your help, Baron!"

Upon hearing Nicole's voice, Baron was happily surprised, but the smile on his face froze. He answered her cautiously,

"Did Kerr find out about Jay's identity?"

Baron had been worried about this. He didn't mind if Jay was taken in by the Gu family. After all, he was their flesh and blood. But he was worried that Nicole had fallen into Kerr's trap because of Jay.

"Not yet, but I'm afraid his suspicion may rise. Your suggestion before, let's do it. Last time, I didn't deny that Jay is your child. Please, help me make Kerr give up Jay.
