The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 106 The Victory Fruit

Kerr was slightly annoyed. Perhaps it was because of the results of the test, or maybe not. He knew in his heart that he loved Nicole and would continue to do so no matter what. However, a part of him looked forward to the possibility of being Jay's true father.

"Hey, hey, what is wrong with you? Are you seriously planning to raise someone else's son?"

The seriousness in Kerr's face was already an answer for Harley. He looked at the man with wide eyes. Before he came back, he was informed of Nicole's existence by Ken. He had also mentioned Jay.

At first, he assumed that it was all an elaborate prank. However, once he saw Kerr's depressed face, he confirmed that Kerr's feelings for Nicole and her son were real.

"Watch what you say, Harley."

Kerr raised his head and gave Harley a domineering look.

Even though Harley had a point, his word choice was a little bit too harsh in Kerr's opinion.

The doctor gave an apologetic look once he realized that he might have crossed the line.

"Are you really interested in Nicole? Do you think that the Gu family will ever accept her and her son?"

That was their biggest problem. Nicole's chances of being accepted by the Gu family with no distinguished family background were already slim. If they found out about Jay, those chances would dwindle to zero.

"My business has nothing to do with the Gu family. I never wanted to let Nicole live with the Gu family members. My family is too complicated for Nicole. Besides, it wouldn't be a good environment for them."

Kerr leaned against the wall, his face was determined.

"Well, I see. If you like her, just keep her as a mistress. It's no big deal,"

Harley said in a playful tone. He had misunderstood Kerr's words. He thought Kerr meant to say that he wouldn't marry Nicole.

One could say that Harley was the opposite of Kerr and Ken. Over the years, Kerr and Ken had known the touch of several women, but Harley never took the same playboy route that they did, despite his frivolous personality.

"I'll marry her," Kerr told Harley.

It wasn't just a statement, it was a promise. Kerr then went back to the ward and left Harley standing there in shock.

"Jared, do you think there's something wrong with my ears? Did I hear him correctly?"

Harley gave Jared a dumbfounded look.

"No. Mr. Gu has even asked Mr. Qin to help him prepare the betrothal gifts for Miss Ning's hand in marriage," he informed the doctor.

There was a helpless tone in Jared's voice. Kerr was truly a generous man when it came to his woman.

"I get the feeling that we are only feeling a sense of calmness before the storm,"

Harley stated ominously.

In the ward

"Mommy, are you still hurting? I'll help you so there will be no pain anymore. I'll take care of you so you won't faint again."

Jay woke up when Kerr went out of the ward. When the boy saw his mother's pale face, he felt bad for her.

"My good boy, Mommy isn't in pain anymore. I feel better knowing that you are with me."

Nicole planted a kiss on Jay's face. Kerr walked in suddenly and saw the scene before him.

Even though it was only Jay that Nicole kissed, the light in Kerr's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Don't kiss other people's future husband,"

Kerr warned Nicole. He then reached out and hugged Jay.

Nicole was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she saw her son already in Kerr's arms, his little hands covering his mouth and he seemed to be stifling a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense."

She frowned at Kerr. She couldn't believe that he would say such words in front of her.

"Why? Did I say something wrong? Jay will be another woman's future husband once he is of age. Aren't you scared that your future husband might not want you to be so intimate with him?"

Jealousy was evident in his tone.

"Kerr! You…"

Nicole was speechless at his sudden sour mood. She glared at him. There wasn't much she could do because Jay was in Kerr's arms.

Jay then looked up at Kerr.

"Uncle Gu, don't bully my mommy. Shouldn't a man give way to a woman? It doesn't matter anyway. I don't mind my mommy kissing me. My future wife isn't here," Jay told them.

As he snuggled against Kerr's chest, the boy felt a sense of security that he had never once felt before. He gave Kerr an expectant look; he hadn't yet been informed of the result of the paternity test.

When he saw the question behind Jay's hopeful eyes, Kerr shook his head lightly in disappointment. Then, he moved closer so that he could whisper something to him. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"I don't care about the result. I will not change my decision, okay?"

A bright smile took over Jay's face when he heard this.

"Hey! What did you just say to my son? Don't spoil him. You shouldn't say things like husband and wife to him. Understand?"

Nicole gave Kerr a glum look. She remembered how hard it was to give birth to him alone. She also had to raise him by herself. However, she supposed that blood was thicker than water. So, even though Jay and Kerr hadn't known each other for that long, they still managed to become close.

She looked up at them. She couldn't help but feel that Kerr had stolen her victory fruit.

"Mommy, Uncle Gu told me that he would take good care of you, so I decided to give him another chance."

Jay freed himself from Kerr's arms and curled up beside Nicole again. It seemed that Jay could only feel the warmth of having a family when Kerr was around.

"I do not need him to look after me."

She didn't want his "kindness" at all. She glared at him. Those photos of Kerr and Sunny came to mind once again. Even though the Gu Group blocked the previous news with the bidding event, she still couldn't forget the image so easily.

There was also the fact that Kerr did not deny it when she asked about it. In fact, he didn't explain anything at all. She wasn't going to give her heart to someone so fickle and untrustworthy.

"I'm still sick; I can't take of you. So I asked Uncle Gu to take care of you. Do you really want me to worry, Mommy?"

The boy gave Nicole an expectant look.

She couldn’t help but scrape her nose in frustration but she dropped the subject anyway.

"I am hungry. Have you eaten dinner? I wonder if your godmother prepared some food for us,"

Nicole stated, talking mostly to herself because she was dedicated to ignoring Kerr. Since Jay was so attached to him, she knew that it would be impossible to make Kerr leave. So, she settled for acting as if he wasn't there.
