The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 68 A Small Pond Cannot Hold A Mermaid

Nicole couldn't fathom how Mrs. Fang managed to get hold of this information, but she surely wouldn't stand to watch anyone tarnish the reputation of her beloved son.

She tore the DNA test into pieces and threw it into a trash can.

"Mrs. Fang, I apologize but it seems like I cannot consider you as an aunt, no matter how close I am to Baron, seeing the stunt you just pulled. But no matter how close we have been for all these years, I consider him as nothing more than a friend. Jay is my son; he's not related to Baron.

It has never crossed my mind to enter into a relationship with your son, and even less so with regards to being a part of the Fang family. I am not a threat, nor will I ever be, to your family's reputation, so kindly dispose of that idea. However, that is not what upsets me the most this evening. It's that you've used my son as a pawn in whatever silly plan you are concocting in your mind.

I am not sorry to have given birth to him. He is the most precious gift in my life. He is my pride. There is nothing in the world I would change, especially if that means I would lose him. I know my place and it is nowhere near your family. If you'll excuse us, we'll be on our way."

They had to leave immediately. Everything that was happening could negatively affect Jay. She even forgot that Kerr could hear her amongst all the turmoil of this evening.

So Nicole turned to leave with her son, but was stopped by Kerr.

With one hand holding Jay and the other holding Nicole's shoulder, Kerr stared at the Mrs. Fang sharply.

"Mrs. Fang, Ms. Ning is part of the Gu Group. As you know, a mermaid must be kept in the sea, a mere pond cannot allow it to be free and grow beautifully. Nicole is that kind of woman. So I highly suggest that you pay attention to your words and deeds so as not to bring trouble to your family."

How could anyone think otherwise?

Nicole was born beautiful. Her arrogance, intelligence, kindness, courage and strength were what drew Kerr to her in the first place.

He would never allow anyone to look down on such a precious woman.

"Mind your actions."

Kerr's arrogant face got Mrs. Fang speechless. She couldn't say a word. She was well aware of the status of the Gu Group, so she didn't dare offend Kerr.

After that, he led Nicole and left. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Watching Nicole walking away, Baron could hear his heart breaking inside his chest. He had to face the reality.

The anger on her face was visible. It was also laced with worry. Throughout their exit, Baron noticed that she hadn't looked at him.

When they got in the car, Nicole sat Jay on her legs and looked at him with worry.

"Jay, don't listen to that grandma and don't believe her, okay? You need to know that you are everything to me. The happiest moment of my life is when I brought you to this world. "

She was worried that her precious boy would be devastated by such verbal abuse at a very young age. No matter how smart he was, he was still a child. It would be too cruel for one to hear such words.

She had worried that the lack of a father would leave Jay susceptible to this kind of bigotry. But she had made up her mind that one day, she would find a person who would love Jay as he should be loved.

"I know, Mommy, don't worry about me, I am very strong, I already knew that Uncle Fang is not my father. It doesn't matter. What happened back there really doesn't matter."

Wearing a bright smile on his face, Jay softly kissed his mother's cheek, a gesture to show her that he wasn't affected by what just happened.

When she saw the smile on Jay's face, Nicole smiled.

Then the car came to a halt. As she looked out of the window, she found that Kerr didn't send them back to their apartment but to the villa of the Gu family.

"I know the two of you must be tired. If you need something, don't hesitate to ask."

When he saw how determined Nicole was about to say no, Kerr didn't give her any chance to refuse. He took Jay in his arms and walked in.

"Wait!"

She lifted the hemline of her dress to keep up with Kerr, but he was walking too fast. The high-heeled shoes she was wearing brought about an obstacle and she couldn't walk fast enough. So she took them off and caught up with him.

"Go to the third floor and you'll get what you want."

Kerr led Jay to the door and nodded at him.

At the sight of Kerr's gesture, Vedder walked directly to Jay's side, took his hand and led him into the elevator.

Before the elevator door closed, Jay saw Nicole running after him and tittered.

"Hey, where's he going?"

When she was about to stretch out her hand to stop the elevator door from closing, she was pulled back by Kerr and her high-heels fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, he grabbed her shoulders and brought her against the wall. He cornered her and locked her between his chest and wall.

"What... What are you doing?"

Kerr's actions were making her nervous. With the closeness of their proximity, her breath hitched. She looked at him with evasive eyes, blinking quickly.

"What are you afraid of?"

His voice was tempting. He looked firmly at the woman in front of him.

He could feel Nicole's fear and worry, and he could also feel that she had pretended to be strong.

When she heard Kerr, Nicole's eyes began to water. Her guard seemed to be shattered by his gentle voice, as if all of her strength dissipated into thin air.

"I don't want Jay to experience what happened today again. What Mrs. Fang said is right. I'm not a good match for the Fang family, and the Gu family is not something I can reach either. So I hope you can let me go.

What I want is very simple. I just want Jay and I to live a peaceful life. I don't want to be disturbed by anyone."

When did such a simple wish become a luxury? She never thought that one day she would ask others to give her a peaceful life.

"Why did you lie to me? Baron is not Jay's father, and you have never been with him."

Kerr remembered that conversation, but he didn't expect that Baron was so cunning that he would think of such a way to prevent him from approaching Nicole. What pissed him off more was that Nicole lied to him as well.

In the past, what he could not bear most was others' deception, but now he accepted it, and he even felt a little relieved that it was all a lie.
