The Reunion After Seven Years

"Why are you sitting here by yourself? Are you alright?"

The moment Kerr spotted Nicole sitting there in silence, he thought she might be sad. So he carefully reached out and lifted her chin to see her face, but was soon relieved to find out that she was smiling at him.

"How dare you deceive me like this?"

Kerr was about to pull Nicole into his arms when he heard her refusal.

"Don't. Don't touch me."

Nicole wanted to frighten Kerr a bit more, but his concerned voice didn't let her carry on with the plan.

"What's wrong?"

Kerr immediately examined Nicole in search of any injuries as soon as he heard her objection.

"Don't worry, my feet are just numb. They'll recover soon."

Nicole then stretched her body for a few moments before Kerr took her in his arms and carried her to the passenger seat. Once she was settled, he went around the vehicle and occupied the driver's seat. As he drove away, Nicole looked at his face and smiled.

"What did your father say to you?"

"What did my mother say to you?"

They said at the same time, causing Nicole to laugh out loud. Kerr was instantly at ease to the sound of it.

"Besides offering me a large sum of money to leave you as soon as possible? Nothing important."

She looked at Kerr, waiting for his reaction.
