The Reunion After Seven Years

"For example, birth, death, accidents... Most of the time, we have no say in any of these. All we can do is accept it," Kerr said.

Those were things that people usually had no control over, so it was useless to worry excessively about them.

"I know. What about you? Why did you smoke? What were you thinking when I fell asleep?"

Now that Nicole had calmed down, she recalled Kerr's strange behavior from before.

She had never seen him looking so frustrated. Considering who he was and his status, it seemed impossible for him to get embarrassed or upset.

"Nothing. But I haven't forgotten what you promised me in the office today,"

Kerr reminded her, taking the opportunity to change the subject.

He didn't want to talk about his family affairs and get her worried when there was nothing she could do about them.

To his delight, the plan worked. Nicole blushed immediately and turned to look out of the window, pretending she didn't hear him. Still, his words caused her heart to skip a beat.

With Kerr, it seemed she was no longer afraid of the pain she endured in the past.

To her surprise, instead of bringing her back to the hospital, he had driven her back to the Ning family villa again.

"I know these walls are witnesses of a whole life you've had in here. Although I haven't been a part of it, I can take you back to the past while you share a little of it with me," Kerr said with a smile.

Holding Kerr's hand, Nicole walked back into the villa. Only this time, it didn't break her heart to be there. Instead, she smiled.

"Okay, I'll tell you what happened."

Nicole led Kerr to the second floor and pushed her bedroom door open. Looking at the familiar space, she felt as if she had returned seven years in the past.
