The Reunion After Seven Years

"The car accident happened that day because Mommy was so distracted with thoughts of you while she was driving," said Jay.

Compared to children his age, Jay was a bit more perceptive to his surroundings. He would immediately notice any changes in his mother's behavior. He used to think that Kerr would be able to take care of Nicole, that was why he wanted them together.

But now, he wasn't sure if that was a good idea anymore.

"I know. All of it is my fault. I promise you that this is only temporary. I will fix this as soon as I can. I want to make your mommy happy. I don't want her to get hurt, especially not by me."

Honestly, Kerr was surprised at what Jay had told him. The little boy was truly observant. If Jay hadn't admitted all those to Kerr, then he would never have known how much he meant to Nicole.

A pang of guilt went through him as he thought about the accident. It happened because of him.

"Really?"

Jay raised his head to look at him with the most optimistic expression in his eyes. Jay decided that he would give Kerr one more chance.

Kerr looked down so that he was eye to eye with the child. He gave him a firm nod.

"Well, I guess I can give you one more chance. Please don't hurt my mommy again. I have a feeling that you are my true father, although my mommy still won't admit it," Jay told Kerr softly as if he was telling him a secret.

"Is it because you hurt my mommy seven years ago? Is that why she doesn't want you to know about me?" Jay asked curiously.

He hoped that he could at least get some clarity from Kerr about his suspicions. He wanted confirmation.

"Wait, aren't you seven years old this year?"

Kerr didn't really think about it. In fact, Nicole mentioned that Jay was already seven years old so he didn't investigate further.
