The Reunion After Seven Years

"Isn't it up to you to propose to me?" Nicole continued to ask.

She turned to look at Kerr, and both dissatisfaction and doubt played in her eyes.

"Do you want me to propose now? Okay, as you wish."

With his eyes fixed on her, Kerr held her shoulders, but before he could bend his knee, Nicole stopped him.

"I was just kidding. Do you think me serious?"

When Nicole saw Kerr's actions, she was surprised. Before Kerr could bend a knee, she stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm, stopping him from kneeling.

The moment Kerr bowed, Nicole sensed there was something wrong as her heart was racing.

She didn't expect that Kerr would really want to marry her. It was exactly what she had hoped for, but she couldn't feel happy when she recalled what happened this morning.

Kerr stood straight, watching the melancholy paint Nicole's face. There was an understanding look in his eyes. He was waiting for her to say something, but his intuition told him that she would remain silent and act tough.

A sudden ringing broke the silence between them.

Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Kerr looked at the Caller ID and tapped the answer button.

"What is it?" he said into the phone.

Head tilted quizzically to one side, Nicole gazed at Kerr. But she couldn't hear his replies above the hiss of the sea breeze.

She didn't know what the other party on the line said, but she saw Kerr hang up the phone immediately.

"Which do you want to hear first, good or bad news?"

Kerr mysteriously asked.
