It was not relevant to Kerr whether the Gu family accepted Nicole or not. He had clearly stated that he was not like Baron. And he had vowed that he would never let Nicole experience the same insults again.
It was more than a promise that Kerr made to Nicole. And no matter what it took, he must keep it.
"No, I don't dare. I know what to do now. Master, please go to bed early, "
Vedder politely said and deeply bowed to Kerr, before he turned around and left.
He believed that Kerr was serious about Nicole. He knew him too well. He had been working with him for a long time. Judging from the look of it, Nicole weighed importance in Kerr's eyes.
Upstairs, Jay quietly eased his way to Kerr's bedroom. His small face showed how amazed and delighted he was. But when his gaze landed on the photos neatly arranged in the wardrobe, he fell momentarily lost in thought.
At first sight, he recognized Kerr immediately. But he couldn't help feeling weird. By looking at the face in the photo, it resembled that vague feeling of him looking in the mirror. Jay inwardly thought, 'Is Kerr my father?'
His heart was racing wildly at the thought. Although such suspicion had been in his mind for a long time, he had no evidence yet.
"What are you doing?"
Kerr had just walked in and casually asked Jay in a calm voice. He silently stayed behind Jay as he watched the little guy, who still stood in front of his wardrobe, seemingly in a daze.
"I'm looking at the photos. You were like me when you were a kid!"
Jay responded in a polite tone. He didn't turn around but remained standing still staring at the photo. He sounded unusually calm, which was not like him. It was far from Jay, who would be more like a kid in front of Nicole. This time, he was like a grown-up.
"You appeared at that time on purpose today. The Fang family got the paternity test report with your cooperation, "
Kerr began matter-of-factly as he sauntered closer to Jay.
He had never doubted Jay's ability, not even once. Kerr could discern it with the way he performed in the school. He was the youngest in the school, but he had gradually surpassed all the students.
And with the incident earlier, he could faintly feel that there were a lot of secrets revolving around Jay that even Nicole didn't know.
"Yes! They don't want Mommy to be together with Uncle Fan
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.
see herself blushing.
Clearly, her son had been totally bribed by Kerr, and that was she thought. So she could only mentally curse him.
"Jay, if you are afraid to sleep in a strange place alone, I can accompany you. Come out quickly, and don't disturb Uncle Gu, "
she softly coaxed. Ever since Jay was very young, he had insisted on sleeping in separate rooms. Initially, she was worried that he would be afraid, so she secretly went to see him at night. However, his toughness and courage were always beyond her expectations.
She didn't buy the idea of Kerr being afraid to be alone. It was merely a lie, and apparently, as his mother, she could sense that Jay only wanted to be with him.
"Mommy, I'm not scared. It's Uncle Gu who is afraid, so I come here to accompany him tonight. I have promised him. As a man, I'll keep my words. I can't break my promise, "
Jay politely insisted. Then without another word, he turned around. But when he was about to close the door, he was stopped by his mother.
"Jay, don't let me repeat myself. Get out!"
she blurted out, sounding impatient. She rarely looked serious in front of her son, but she couldn't let him stay with Kerr alone. Considering that both of them were clever, it certainly made her feel on edge.
She felt something nagging at her, making her frantically worried that it would be a bad thing if she let the two of them stay together like this. She knew that if they continued to live together like this, it wouldn't be long before Jay recognized his father. By then, she would completely lose him.
