The Reunion After Seven Years

"I'll just keep Jay to believe that Baron is a good friend to me. There's no need for Jay to know who he really is."

The only thing she wished for in that moment was Kerr to understand her. If he ever found out that she was lying to him, he would let Jay know that his mother was a liar.

Nicole promised to herself that she would always teach Jay good values, such as telling the truth. Although she had to lie to Kerr for her own sake, she would never let her lie to be discovered by her child because he'd probably end up learning a bad habit.

Besides, she had a feeling that Kerr somehow drew Jay's attention a long time ago by persuading him and making some kind of deal between them.

"Baron will never get the respect that Jay has for me. He didn't acknowledge himself as Jay's father and I know he won't do it now.

I can assure you that you'll realize that I'm better for you and Jay rather than Baron. I don't care if your relationship with him was relevant or not."

Kerr kept his sight at her with such kindness.

Kerr was probably the hardest man on Earth to trick. He could tell with ease that no signs of love or any type of emotion manifested in Nicole's eyes when she talked about Baron.

Deep inside of Kerr, he truly felt that there wasn't place awaiting for Baron in Nicole's heart.

"I appreciate that you agreed to keep Baron's true identity to Jay as a secret, Mr. Gu. But I'd like to maintain the situation as it currently is. It's been quite a long time since Jay and I've been living together, I don't want anything or anyone to come and change it all.

And judging by the time, I think I should get inside the apartment. Thank you so much for the ride back home."

Nicole gave a sign of gratitude to Kerr, turned to her right to pull the car door's trigger and got out. She wouldn't look back until she was sure that he had left as she was walking towards the building.

She took a deep breath and released a sigh of satisfaction as she watched the black Porsche vanish.
