The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 131 Happy Birthday

As soon as Kerr showed up, Kim strode forward and handed him a stack of documents along with a key.

"Mr. Gu, this is the house's certificate of ownership and its key. As you requested, it's under Miss Ning's name."

Kerr nodded, taking the key.

"Also, there isn't any news about Miss He so far. She had been at the Gu family's old house to visit Mrs. Gu but was gently denied. According to Cherry, it seems that Mr. and Mrs. Gu had had an argument."

Kim carefully eased his tone in the last part.

"Why?"

Kerr raised his eyebrows in surprise. For so many years, his parents insisted on portraying the role of the perfect and harmonious family in which husband and wife loved each other to the end. However, out of the public eye, it was all an illusion.

Between them, there was no warmth. They could very well be strangers inside their house. Therefore how could two people who barely ever talked, argue?

"Cherry wasn't sure, but it seemed to be about you and Miss Ning. She wanted you to know that your mother will support your choice. If necessary, she will use all the power she has in hands to help you."

Cherry was Freya's right-hand woman, who had been keeping her company for many years. So, she could be trusted.

"I see. You can go back now."

Kim looked at Kerr and slightly nodded before finally leaving.

Kerr took his phone and searched for his mother's number. But then he hesitated to press the button. As he stared at the screen, he soon gave up on making the call.

He was too used to his mother's indifference to everything.
