The Reunion After Seven Years

From his home, Baron had been calling Nicole tirelessly, but every time he went straight to voice mail. When he knew the party was over, he tried to reach Nicole, but his mother stopped him from going anywhere.

"Baron, where are you going?"

Mrs. Fang didn't hide the reprimand in her voice when she noticed Baron was worried about Nicole.

"Mom, you've gone too far already, don't you think? I'm the one who wants to be with Nicole. She had no idea what I had in mind before today. You shouldn't treat her or Jay like this ever again."

He frowned at his mother.

He couldn't believe how far she had gone to make him give up Nicole. For a moment, he felt she was a stranger to him.

Mrs. Fang, on the other hand, couldn't believe the resentment in Baron's eyes. He had always been a mild-tempered man. He had never even raised his voice to her. She would never expect a woman like Nicole Ning to bring such intense feelings out of him.

"Baron, how can you speak to me like this over that woman?"

Mrs. Fang's voice trembled with grief. A little sorry for her, Baron didn't say anything else.

"Auntie, don't be like this. Let me speak to Baron, okay?"

Seeing the tension between the two, Maggie Chen gave Mrs. Fang a reassuring smile before approaching Baron.

"I've booked a hotel room. Can you drive me there?"

It was easy to tell that Maggie had come to ease things out. Following her lead, Baron glanced one more time at his mother and then nodded.

"Aunt, I'll come back to see you tomorrow!"

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Fang, Maggie got into the car.
