The Reunion After Seven Years

Nicole gave Kerr a gentle kiss on the cheek, snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes.

Kerr gazed at the woman and the little boy beside him, trying his best to stifle his desire. Stretching his hand out, he touched Jay lightly on the nose. Then he tightened his arms around Nicole and fell sound asleep.

Having a wife and son gave Kerr a deep feeling of satisfaction.

His night in particular was filled with peace and happiness.

The next day dawned, and Nicole smiled softly to herself as she fixed Kerr's tie for him.

"Do you ever think about the shares your mother holds?" Nicole didn't want to put too much pressure on Kerr, but this seemed the quickest way to solve the problem. After all, he deserved those shares.

Kerr looked at Nicole, his eyes soft with emotion.

"I won't let the Gu Group fall into anyone else's hands without those shares. Have faith in your lover, Nicole. Stay at home and wait for me. When I've finished work, I'll come back to you as soon as I possibly can."

Actually, Kerr longed to stay with her all the time, but the company needed him to handle its affairs. And he worried that, if he took Nicole with him to the office, it would be too stressful for her.

His only choice was to let her stay at home.

She looked at him and nodded. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

She knew what Kerr's concerns were, of course. But she also knew that he had a lot to deal with at Gu Group, and she would be understanding and considerate.

After breakfast, Kerr gave Nicole a kiss on her forehead and left the villa.
