The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 207 He Was Really Thoughtless

Nicole had been sitting awake, waiting for Kerr. But maybe because she was pregnant, she became drowsy.

She fell asleep before Kerr came home.

Now that she was awake again, she had an ominous feeling. She couldn't account for it clearly, which made her feel very uneasy. She was afraid that she would disturb Jay in his sleep.

She picked up her phone and went out of the bedroom. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

As she went downstairs to the living room, she made a call to Kerr, but it failed to connect, which made her feel increasingly uneasy.

In the hotel room

Kerr's coat lay haphazardly on the floor, a crumpled mess. His phone rang persistently, but it didn't wake up the two people in the room.

Sunny stumbled to her feet and touched Kerr in the bathroom.

"Kerr, I love you!"

With his head down, Kerr propped his hands against the wash basin as drops of water dripped down from his hair to his forehead.

His tie was gone. Two buttons on his shirt had fallen off, exposing the skin of his chest.

Kerr had been horribly bewitched by the hallucination.

With what remained of his strength and his sanity, he raised his hand and punched directly at the mirror in front of him.

Clap! Broken shards of glass fell down and Kerr's fingers were cut. Blood dripped onto the pure white wash basin, which looked pretty shocking.

Perhaps it was the pain that brought him back his sanity. Pushing the woman directly behind him, Kerr staggered out of the bathroom and got out of the VIP room.

The waiter hiding in the dark was astonished to see Kerr walk out of the room. But when he noticed that Kerr was still wearing clothes, his eyes darkened and he dialed Moore's number.

"Master Moore, Kerr has left. And it seems that Sunny didn't succeed."

Moore had already expected to receive bad news, but he still felt disappointed. It seemed that Sunny was good at playing tricks, but she was totally useless.

"Okay." Moore hung up the phone. Then he turned around and walked into the hotel, with a wry look on his face.

Kerr was driving his car home.

He had only one thought, and that was for Nicole. The cold night wind blew in from the window but didn't make him sober.

The only thing that could give him any relief was the thought of Nicole and the baby in her belly.

In the villa

Standing in the living room with her eyes fixed on the door, Nicole was waiting for Kerr to come through the door. She couldn't get through to Kerr, and even Jared didn't answer the phone. Since Nicole had woken up, she couldn't go back to sleep with all that anxiety in her mind.

It seemed that it was going to be a long night.

"Mommy, why are you here?" Jay was at the top of the stairs, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and speaking with a deep nasal voice. It was obvious that he was still half-asleep.

As Jay turned over in bed, he hadn't felt his mother beside him, so he opened his eyes unconsciously to look for her.

Jay's voice brought Nicole back to reality. She turned around and went to him. "Let's go, I'll take you to sleep." She didn't want her son to be worried about anything, even for her sake.

So she didn't offer any explanation.

But no matter how hard she tried, Nicole couldn't go back to sleep.

Her anxiety became overwhelming. If only someone could tell her what had happened to Kerr, she wouldn't be waiting in the dark.

However, it was so late that she couldn't leave Jay alone at home. Besides, being pregnant, she didn't dare to take any risks.

If something bad happened to her then, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

In the bedroom, Nicole patted Jay gently, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her eyes became empty and she stared blankly ahead.

"Mom, don't worry. He's a strong man. He'll be fine." Jay was a smart kid. Since Kerr still hadn’t come home at that late hour, he knew that Nicole was worried about Kerr.

"He can take care of himself, but your baby needs to rest and needs you to take care of her." Jay was really annoyed with Kerr for coming home at such a late hour.

He was an adult, but he made Mommy worry about him. He was really thoughtless.

Jay's words comforted Nicole. She smiled. "I know. You're so thoughtful, my dear. You need a rest too. Let's sleep now. He might be on his way back."

That was the only thing she could do to comfort herself. But she couldn't imagine what kind of thing could hold him back and stop him from answering his phone. This had never before happened, as long as she had been with Kerr.

It was the first time that Kerr had ever failed to answer her phone call. He had once promised her that no matter what happened, she could always find him. But today, he failed to keep his promise.

The thought of this made her feel a sense of loss. Maybe it was because of pregnancy, but she noticed that she was becoming more and more paranoid.

"Mommy, I know you can't fall asleep. How about a bed time story?" Jay was wide awake. Seeing his mother so worried made him unable to sleep.

The only thing he could do was try to cheer her up by distracting her. But deep in his heart, he was thinking about how to teach Kerr a lesson when he came back.

It was not a good habit for him to come home late.

Jay’s serious look comforted her. Nicole felt grateful that she had given birth to a thoughtful and sweet boy. She caressed his smooth hair, and nodded with satisfaction in her eyes.

"Once upon a time, there was a small white rabbit, and a small grey rabbit..." Jay listened to his mother carefully, giving her his full attention. But just when she had spoken those few words, someone pushed the bedroom door open.

The sudden noise at the door shocked her. She stood up instinctively, protecting Jay in her arms, and looking toward the door.

The person was standing against the light, and she couldn't see the man at the door clearly. However, his identity was revealed by his figure, which was unmistakable for her. It was Kerr.
