The Reunion After Seven Years

With a glare, Nicole turned to look at Kerr and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about it?" As soon as she asked, she suddenly remembered the fact that Jay had fancied Kerr very much, because Kerr had arranged a great school for him.

Nicole now felt that Kerr had already known then that Jay was gifted and not like any other children.

Nicole heaved a deep sigh as the anger flared in her eyes, burning Kerr with them. He was indeed hiding a lot of things from her, so who knew what else he was keeping to himself?

"It's nothing to worry about. I just really knew it a little earlier than you did," Kerr replied gently.

A faint smile slowly crept onto his face, trying to hide the fact that he felt very nervous deep in his heart. Truth be told, he set up this trap meant for Jay, but Kerr was surprised and did not expect that he himself would get caught in it in the end. Kerr sighed and reached out his hand to try and hold Nicole's, but she dodged and moved a little farther from his reach.

"Mommy, let me tell you the truth. The old man knew it long ago and joined me, so it is not only my fault. I really just wanted to protect you, but I don't know why the old man did it," Jay said with eyes about to be filled with tears.

Then, he placed his head on Nicole's legs with his pitiful face completely replaced by a happy smile and a smug look in his eyes. He turned to Kerr and made a face.

Upon hearing this, Kerr's face darkened and thought about how sneaky this little boy was. Instead of trying to reach for Nicole's hand once more, he reached out and held Jay in his arms, carrying him and walked away to take him upstairs.

"Mommy! Help!" Jay screamed. He kicked his short legs and shouted as he tried to get himself off Kerr's hold but obviously failed due to the physical gap and strength he had. He stopped struggling and watched Nicole with pitiful eyes as he was being taken away farther and farther from his mommy.

Nicole watched at them as they moved up the stairs and could not help but shake her head helplessly. There was nothing she could really do with the both of them.

"Nicole, tell me. How are you really feeling recently?" Harley asked with concern. He placed his laptop aside and looked at Nicole with a gentle smile. He then turned to the direction to where Kerr and Jay had just passed and thought about how he had never seen Kerr act this way before. It seemed like Nicole was slowly becoming a huge influence on Kerr.

Nicole looked at him back curiously and wondered why he was going to see her after tomorrow. With no luck remembering the reason, she shrugged the thought off and assumed that it was nothing important and that Harley was just going to visit again.

it was already the day after tomorrow, the day Harley said he was going to meet Nicole again. It was early morning that day, and the sun was barely risen, when Nicole was awakened by a call from Avery.
