The Reunion After Seven Years

"I will thank Uncle Fang next time."

Jay glanced at the remote control car with no interest in it. Whether it was his birthday or any other event, Baron would always send him thousands of gifts. Yet, he had never put his heart into any of them.

Such a childish toy could only be suitable for those equally childish.

"Jay, I want to talk to you."

Nicole thought it was about time for them to talk about Kerr, so she straightened her face and gave him a stern look.

"I like Uncle Gu very much. Compared to Uncle Fang, I think Uncle Gu suits you better. Does mom like Uncle Gu?"

Nicole knew Jay was smart enough to take care of himself and read books while other children of his age couldn't. However, he still missed a true father-son relationship.

"Jay, it's not about whether I like Uncle Gu or not. He has his own life, his family and his children. We shouldn't disturb other people's lives, right?"

While she was in Manhattan, a friend had tried to set her up on many blind dates. But despite her son's consent, she would always refuse them—afraid someone could wrong her son.

Jay couldn't help the disappointment on his delicate face once he heard Nicole's words. Still, he tamely nodded in response.

"I'm full, mom. I'm going to take a shower."

Staring from Jay's back heading to the bathroom to his almost untouched slice of pizza, Nicole sighed heavily.

She could sense he was upset. But she had no choice besides ignoring it.

'It's all Kerr's fault! He's such a bastard!' she thought.

When she got back into her room, she sat on the mattress in a daze. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the jewelry box at the headboard. In it there was a black earring, which had once belonged to her mother.

Of course, there should have been a pair, but now there was only one single piece left. Nicole put the box away inside the drawer at the bottom of her bedside table.

Suddenly, the phone started to ring, cutting off her thoughts.
