The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 220 Your Reflection On The Car Window

Kerr hugged Nicole from behind, and the cake smelled so sweet that it masked the scent of Nicole's perfume.

"What are you doing?" There was tenderness in Kerr's voice as he gently kissed Nicole on the cheek.

The corners of her mouth went up. "I think our baby likes this cake. What do you think?" Nicole held the cake in her hand and gestured for Kerr to have a look.

Although the cake wasn't perfect, Nicole had tried her best to make it. Considering her level as a baker, the cake was good enough.

"She must like the cake since you cooked it for her." He kissed Nicole on the forehead as he put his warm hand on her belly and felt the baby inside it.

This was their baby and it carried so many expectations from the two of them.

Seeing the appreciation in Kerr's eyes, Nicole said complacently, "Why didn't Harley come back with you? I also wanted him to taste my new cake!"

Even though Nicole asked, she knew that Harley didn't come because he wanted to stay away from her cake. At the thought of this, a naughty smile appeared on her face. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"How could he be so lucky?" Kerr cherished everything about Nicole and didn't want to share it with anyone. With the exception, of course, of the cake she had made.

While Kerr was worrying about the cake in front of him, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around and saw Vedder looking at him and Nicole with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What's up, Uncle Vedder?" A look of confusion flashed in Nicole’s eyes.

Vedder nodded to both Nicole and Kerr and said, "Kelvin is here. Your father sent him here to ask you to go home."

Then, Kelvin walked into the kitchen and looked at Kerr. Then, he said respectfully, "Master Kerr, His Lordship wants to see you. If Miss Ning wants to go as well, you can take her with you."

Kerr's face darkened as he completely ignored Kelvin. He took Nicole's hand and was just about to walk out of the kitchen, but he was stopped by Nicole.

"Uncle Kelvin, do you know what it's about?" She knew there must be something wrong if they wanted Kerr to go back home. Nicole didn't want him to go either.

But regardless, that was still Kerr's home. There was no reason for Nicole to stop him from going back there. It did not matter if the Gu family didn't accept her—Kerr was still their son.

Hearing that, Kelvin looked at Kerr's face hesitantly. But when he looked at Nicole and thought about how kind-hearted she was, he couldn't help but answer her.

"Miss Ning, His Lordship has asked the people of the He family to come over in order to discuss the engagement between Master Kerr and Miss Sunny He. Miss He said that she is pregnant with Master Kerr's child, so His Lordship wants them to get married as soon as possible."

Whether it was true or not, Kelvin knew that it would be a heavy blow to Nicole if she heard about it.

But it was a fact, and she had to know about it.

As expected, when she heard what he said, Nicole's grip on the cake suddenly loosened and it fell to the ground as an unspeakable look of surprise appeared on her face.

What she was worried about the most had finally happened. Her eyes were completely blank, and she had no idea how to react.

"Nicole!" Kerr put his arm around Nicole's shoulders as he glared at Kelvin. Then, he looked at Nicole nervously. She couldn't stand to feel any pressure right now.

He was afraid that she would think too much and it would affect the baby in her belly.

His voice brought her back to the present. Nicole looked at his nervous face and asked, "What's going on?" Naturally, Nicole thought of that night a month ago.

Was what Sunny said true?

"I didn't do anything wrong, Nicole. You have to trust me. I told you I have nothing to do with what happened to Sunny," Kerr said patiently. He didn’t want Nicole to overthink things.

Looking at the firm look of Kerr, Nicole decided to believe him, but she knew that this was not the end of the story. They had been leading a peaceful life for a while.

In fact, she had almost believed that she and Kerr would live happily like that forever, but as always, the harsh reality reminded her that everything was temporary.

"Let's go," Nicole said as she stood up straight and took Kerr's hand. She knew that it was useless to try to avoid it, so instead of running from it, she was willing to face this problem with Kerr.

As long as they were together, they could face all of the difficulties life would throw at them together, and she would not be afraid.

"I can handle it myself. You can rest at home. I don't want anything to affect you and our baby." In his heart, nothing was more important than Nicole.

However, Nicole shook her head. "We don’t know whether it's a good thing or not, and we can't avoid bad things all the time. We will have to face it in the end. Since this matter has something to do with you, then it is my thing too. We'd better solve it once and for all.

Kerr, I'm a little tired. I don't want to wait. I want a quiet life where I won't need to worry that other people will try to tear us apart."

Nicole looked at him seriously, hoping that this was the last time she would have to confront the entire Gu family.

"Alright, don't worry. I'm here with you." Kerr nodded, holding her shoulder tightly. After they walked out of the villa, Kerr took Nicole's hand in his and got into the car.

As they drove on the flat road, the car was filled with silence for a while. Nicole looked out of the window at the fleeting scenery outside. She noticed Kerr looking at her and she suddenly smiled faintly.

"Do you know why I always look out the window?"

Nicole rested her head on Kerr's shoulder as her lips curved up slightly. It seemed like she was not nervous about what was going to happen at all.

Hearing her question, Kerr shook his head. Then, he took her hand and casually played with her fingers.

"Because I can see your reflection on the car's window." She looked up and met his gentle eyes. Then she put her arm around his waist.

For her, the best thing in the world was probably being able to hold her beloved man in her arms.

"Are you afraid?" Kerr asked. He knew that he would do everything to protect her, but he couldn't help worrying that she might get hurt.

Nicole shook her head slightly. "Why would I be afraid? The worst thing that could happen is I would find out that you really betrayed our love and the baby in her belly is truly yours."

That was definitely the worst thing that could happen for her. She did not even dare to think about it because just thinking about it made her heart ache so much.

"There is no way that would happen!" Even though Kerr did not have a clear memory of what had happened back then, he had absolutely no doubt in his mind.
