The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 71

Upon hearing Nicole's stern voice, Jay stopped and turned to her with an aggrieved look on his face.

"But Mommy..."

Seeing the quarrel between the mother and son, Kerr walked to the latter's side and lifted him up in his arms with a faint smile on his face. Then he looked at Nicole and lied blatantly,

"He was telling the truth. I'm afraid of sleeping alone, so I asked him to stay here with me. Why not? Director Ning, if you are still worried, you can stay with us too. My bed is big enough for all of us."

He looked at her playfully and didn't think he had said anything wrong. The anger on her face didn't go unnoticed by him, either.

"You!" Nicole snapped.

She didn't know what to say. For the first time, she thought that Kerr was such a rascal. He really had no bottom line. It was obvious that he was using Jay as a bargaining chip.

Seeing her son in his arms, she suddenly felt powerless.

"Mommy, just say yes, okay? I promise it will just be for one night!" Jay chimed in at this moment.

As he spoke, he stretched out his small hand and held hers.

When Nicole saw Jay's innocent face, she couldn't refuse him.

She realized that perhaps she couldn't be so selfish. Since Jay had never had a father's love, it was only natural that he would seek it. Now, Kerr was a good compensation for him. Besides, Kerr was indeed Jay's real father.

"I'll go get my pajamas," she finally said,

then turned around and went back to her room.

"Yes!" Jay yelled triumphantly. Then, with a wide smile on his face, he turned to Kerr, who looked back at him affectionately.

Kerr carried the boy into the bathroom, helped him take off his clothes,

and threw them outside the door of the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Nicole paced around her room, thinking long and hard about the matter.

'It's not a big deal. Jay is with us too. I believe he won't dare to do anything to me,' she thought, reassuring herself.

After several minutes of hesitation, she finally plucked up the courage to return to Kerr's room.

The bedroom door was open. When she walked in, she saw Jay's clothes at the door. To her surprise, Kerr was nowhere to be seen. Was he giving Jay a bath?

It was hard for her to imagine him doing such a thing. She walked forward and curiously opened the bathroom door, but the scene in front of her gave her a shock.

"Ah!"

She turned her back to the bathroom at once.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!" she yelled.

Before opening the door, she had only noticed Jay's clothes outside, so she hadn't expected that Kerr would be sitting naked in the bathtub with Jay.

"Miss Ning, would you take a bath with your clothes on in your own house?" Kerr replied dryly.

Then, imagining the look of embarrassment that must be on Nicole's face, he smiled, stood up, and stepped out of the bathtub. Then, he stepped into the shower and reached for the shower head.
