The Reunion After Seven Years

"Excuse me."

Kerr stood up abruptly and walked out of the dining room.

When Nicole saw what Kerr had done, she couldn't help feeling touched. Had he hidden his injury because he was worried that she would faint at the sight of blood? Was he taking care of her feelings subconsciously?

The thought made her feel slightly melancholy. She couldn't believe that Kerr cared about her that much.

"Mommy, Uncle Gu is angry."

Next to her, Jay looked up at her innocently. He didn't look panicked, instead his little eyes seemed to be filled with helplessness.

It seemed that the grownups world was a lot more complicated than his.

"It's not your fault, dear. Don't worry about it,"

she smiled at him comfortingly as she stroked his hair. She temporarily ignored her curiosity about Kerr's sudden departure and focused on Jay. Looking at his little face, she felt like she was looking at Kerr.

She didn't see Kerr again until the dinner ended.

"Miss Ning, my apologies but Mr Gu can't be interrupted at the moment. He is currently taking an overseas call,"

Vedder told her respectfully. He was standing at the entrance of Gu family villa.

"It's okay, Vedder. Could you please tell him I'm very sorry about what happened earlier? It's already rather late, I need to take Jay home."

Nicole took a quick look in the direction of the stairs before saying goodbye to Vedder. Then she took Jay's hand and left.

When they got into the car, Nicole leaned her head against the door. She felt and looked as though she hadn't slept in days.
