The Reunion After Seven Years

Angering the woman would be unwise for Vedder.

Eyes following his mother's back disappearing into the bathroom, Jay looked pensive.

"Uncle Gu, don't scare Mommy. She looks strong, but she is also very fragile,"

he said, turning to look at Kerr with the most earnest look he could muster.

"I know."

Nicole's wariness didn't escape his eyes. Swirling the wine gently in his glass, Kerr took a sip.

The wine tasted sweet, but not as sweet as Nicole.

"What do you think of living here with your mommy in the future?"

The idea ran through Kerr's mind for quite a while now, and he couldn't let go of it. The thought of the possibility that it could happen made him happy.

Looking at the boy sitting across him, he knew the likelihood of this outcome.

"What good does it do to me?"

Jay liked Kerr, a lot. He would be over the moon if his mother and Uncle Gu got together,

but it didn't mean that he'd let her do something she wouldn't want to do. He would never do that.

"How does it benefit me?" Jay asked again. "I can't sell my mommy out like that, not to mention that I've done nothing but help you and try to push you both in that direction, and yet you still haven't won her heart. I'm starting to doubt you, Uncle. I'm seriously thinking of dropping it," he added.
