The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 254 White Pill Gone Wrong

"Wait, is that really what you told Zachary?" Nicole asked in disbelief and could not but laugh in amusement.

Avery nodded slowly and leaned her head to the side in confusion. "What's funny? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Are you seriously asking me that, or are you really just an idiot? The reason why he wants to marry you is because he loves you, so I am certain that he will never agree with the terms and conditions you proposed. By doing such, you are hurting his feelings, you know.

Now, answer me honestly. Why on earth do you hate him so much? I mean, he is nothing but very good to you, and I don't remember a time he ever disrespected you, so tell me, did he?" Nicole always wondered why, but in all sincerity, she only hoped that Avery, too, would be happy, and she had no doubt that Zachary would be able to give Avery that.

That was why she was determined to help resolve whatever issue there was or were between the two of them.

"To be honest, I actually don't understand myself either. As a matter of fact, I recognize and acknowledge that Zachary is indeed a great man, but you see, I have always treated him as my brother before. Now that he suddenly wants to be my husband, I feel a little weird and awkward," Avery muttered under her breath.

Nicole almost didn't hear what Avery said but chuckled at her for it. Avery didn't make any eye contact and shyly looked away.

"Well, I think you're just having a difficult time trying to adjust to that situation. What you need is a little push, I guess," Nicole suggested. A grin made its way to the corners of Nicole's mouth as she took her phone out and dialed Kerr's number. As soon as he picked up the call, Nicole said, "Kerr, I want to leave the hospital tonight.

Why don't we and Zachary and Avery have dinner out together? Make sure you invite Zachary, and Avery is already with me." She smiled after saying this for she knew that Kerr understood what she was trying to say and knew that he would have the solution ready.

After he agreed to the plan, Nicole hung up the phone and gave Avery an excited smile.

Avery eyed her curiously and wondered what Nicole was up to this time. She asked her.

"You'll know it tonight," Nicole replied with a wink. Thinking about what would happen tonight made Nicole helplessly blush. More so at the thought that she had changed a lot since she was with Kerr.

Still, she could not help but look forward to the dinner.

Hearing what his mommy had told Kerr on the phone, Jay tugged on Nicole and said, "Mommy, can I go with you to the dinner?" He looked at Nicole with pitiful eyes. As a matter of fact, he was with Nicole all the time.
