| ← Ch.033 | Ch.035 → |
When Jay read Kerr's message, he immediately turned around and saw a black Porsche following him. With a beaming smile on his face, he sat back silently.
"Jay? Are you okay? Were you too exhausted to go to school today? Why are you so quiet today?"
Nicole turned back and kept her eyes fixated on Jay who still remained silent in the back seat.
Although Jay wasn't of the talkative kind, it was still quite strange to her that he didn't utter a word when she mentioned Kerr just a while ago.
"No, Mommy, don't worry about me. I can adapt. Although I'm the youngest kid in my class, I don't feel inferior to any of them!"
Jay looked up at Nicole with an innocent and happy smile.
"That's great to hear, Jay."
When she saw the energetic smile on Jay's face, she was surprised.
During her days in Manhattan, she had arrived at the conclusion that Jay was much more mature than other children of his age and was even more prudent than them in various circumstances. During several occasions, she used to treat him like a grown-up man. She had almost neglected the fact that he was only six years old.
However, ever since they returned to the country, she had noticed that Jay was becoming more like a normal kid.
She was aware of how Jay relied on Kerr and how he slowly transformed to become less and less mature after having met Kerr. It seemed as if everything was going in a way she had anticipated.
But the fact was that the change of Jay's personality was because of Kerr, which made Nicole worried and hesitant. She knew that if she rashly took her son away from Kerr, the boy would be unhappy.
"You may please get off the car now, "
Baron looked at Nicole thoughtfully and requested gently. A set of cautious eyes could have detected a slight sense of concern from his face.
His intuition told him that Nicole's silence had to be attributed to Kerr. Although she had just returned to the country, he had already figured that Kerr had gradually become a significant part of her life.
When he was about to open the door, he noticed from the rear
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again. But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ers. That's why she's working in your company now, Mr. Gu."
He looked at Kerr with a warm smile in his eyes. When he talked about Nicole, his eyes were full of affection.
He was announcing that Nicole belonged to him. He wanted Kerr to misunderstand that he and Nicole were in love.
This way, Kerr might give up on Nicole.
It was just that he had grossly underestimated Kerr's interest in Nicole.
"I don't think it's appropriate for Mr. Fang to say that. I can only ask you to set your mind at ease. Besides, it's her choice to choose whether to stay in the Gu Group or the Fang Group."
"Now that she is a member of the Gu Group, I believe it must be my luck or something that Mr. Fang has never had the fate to experience."
He didn't care about what Baron said at all. In his opinion, Baron was only trying to make him give up on Nicole.
Nevertheless, regardless of how much effort Baron was putting in, Kerr was becoming increasingly interested in Nicole.
"I have another person to attend to right now. I hope we can hold an amicable conversation about this sooner than later."
He ignored Baron and headed hastily towards the restaurant. But when he was just about to step in, Baron's voice stole his attention away.
"Jay is my son."
In a moment of desperation, Baron blurted out the lie. He noticed that Kerr was visibly shaken upon hearing his revelation.
