The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 223 He Didn’t Refuse Her

Moore revealed an innocent expression in his eyes as he gazed at Kerr and Nicole.

Sunny heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what Moore confessed. Now that she got a witness, she couldn't help feeling confident that Kerr wouldn't dare deny what had happened between them that night.

With the rate of how things were going, Nicole refused to believe every single word that came out of Moore's mouth. But was there a need for Moore to tell a lie? She slowly lifted her head and deeply gazed into Kerr's eyes rather inquisitively.

At the back of her mind, she thought that what Moore was trying to establish by his revelation had nothing to do with him. Kerr‘s marriage with Sunny could only strengthen his status in the family. Logically, if that was indeed the case, Moore should have stopped it.

And this confused her now. It was undeniable that Moore was on Sunny‘s side.

"How do you explain that?" Nicole managed to ask as doubt started to grow in her heart. What she needed now was an explanation coming from Kerr apart from him comforting her.

"I have nothing to say. Even if we were in the same room, that means nothing,"

Kerr gently assured her. He knew that more than anything, Moore only wanted to see the Gu family get messed up, so he could take the opportunity to get what he wanted. Kerr knew him well, and if Moore had some tricks up his sleeves, he surely would not let himself fall into his trap.

But apparently, Kerr couldn't help doubting it when Moore tried to get into the middle of this.

"I was about to call Kerr, but he didn't seem to refuse Miss He, so I decided not to disturb him. It seemed like something was wrong between them,"

Moore pointed out as a deep frown appeared in his forehead. He even fell into deep thoughts as if he was trying to recall what Kerr looked like at that time.

Sunny's face immediately turned red when she heard what Moore said, and she reasoned out shyly, "Kerr and I drank a little wine at that time, so we can't control ourselves..."

Despite feeling a bit embarrassed, Sunny caught herself surprised and hadn't expected that Moore would disclose it. She knew it better than anyone else how she got pregnant. Even though she felt slightly guilty, it was the truth.

She had a baby with Kerr. And it was a fact that could not be changed, no matter how reluctant Kerr was to accept it.

"Kerr, I know that you don't expect this to happen, but no matter how much you hate the idea of getting married to me, still, I am pregnant with your child. Do you really have the heart to abandon us?"

Sunny muttered, her voice sounded almost pleading. Feeling disheartened and pitiful, she looked at Kerr squarely.

Nicole couldn't stand it anymore, so with a trace of irony in the corner of her mouth, she calmly stated, "Miss He, you are carrying a child. But what about my baby? I don't care where you get the child. But it's not a wise idea to try to get a man by using a child.

In this world, children are considered a blessing of love, and not your tool to get the things you want."

Like Sunny, Nicole was carrying Kerr's baby. But she never thought of forcing Kerr to marry her because of the baby. For her, having a baby was their blessing, not a tool.

Sensing Nicole's inner turmoil, Kerr clenched her hand tightly, seemingly reassuring her before turning to look at Sunny. "I never had sex with you. The child in your belly is not mine.

Sunny, you schemed this whole thing. If you want to put on an act, then somebody might want to watch your show, but it's not me. I'm not interested in acting with you either. I won't marry you."

Soon after Kerr said those words, he abruptly stood up and was about to leave the room with Nicole at his side.

"Stop!" Jack yelled. He had always known that Kerr was a short-tempered man, but now he certainly didn't want to allow him to be unruly.

For Jack, the He family was as powerful as the Gu family in terms of status and influence. That was why Kerr could only marry Sunny.

"Moore, go and ask the family doctor to prepare for a DNA test," Jack ordered Moore indifferently before throwing Kerr an exasperated look. Calming himself down, he exclaimed, "You said that the baby is not yours.

But when the result of the DNA test comes out, you must marry Sunny if the baby is yours."

What Jack wanted was to convince Kerr to marry Sunny.

Kerr clearly heard what Jack said, but he only let out a faint smile as he agreed, "Okay."

His expression revealed not even an ounce of hesitation. Since he knew himself better than anyone else, he could be sure that the baby Sunny was referring to was not his child. Taking a DNA test would not make him cringe with fear.

After the exchange, Kerr firmly held Nicole‘s hand and headed out of the house. However, the moment the two had reached the car, Nicole coldly let go of his hand. She hurriedly got in and averted her gaze towards the window. She was boiling in anger.

Kerr was fully aware of what was going on with her, so he purposely reached out to hold her shoulder. But Nicole deliberately dodged his touch.

"Nicole, trust me. That child has nothing to do with me. After I do a DNA test, the truth will come out. Then I will have nothing to do with her,"

Kerr reassured her, thinking that this was the simplest way. He had asked Harley before, so he learned that when a pregnant woman was about three or four months along, she could be offered an amniocentesis test. Then they could have a DNA test as well.

Nicole refused to look back at Kerr. Just shaking her head slightly, she asserted, "Kerr, it is not that simple. The reason Sunny is so assured that the baby is yours is that you gave her hope that night.

She thought she could have you, so she kept pestering you. She believed she was more qualified than me to marry into the Gu family. But did it ever occur to you that you were actually drugged by her at that time?

Why can you be so sure that you didn’t have sex with her that night? What if..."

Her voice trailed off. She didn't know what to say and think anymore. The only thing she knew was that she would not let Kerr off the hook. Because what she hated was to be betrayed by the person she loved the most.

"There's nothing to worry about, Nicole. No ifs. I know what I've done that night. You're the only woman that I'll marry," confessed Kerr with a resolute look on his face.

He was so confident.

When she regarded the firm look on Kerr's face, she couldn't help glaring at him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"So you mean you will marry her if she is pregnant with your child? Then why are you with me?" This time, there was no longer worry in her tone. Instead, she sounded more resolute and serious to know the answer.

Out of nowhere, she suddenly became very picky about what he said. And without thinking further, she abruptly stretched out her hand and grabbed him by his neck. She glowered at him, not allowing him to escape.

It seemed that if Kerr uttered a wrong word, Nicole would strangle him without second thoughts.

She looked intimidating as she stared daggers at him.

Kerr felt relieved as he feasted his eyes at her cute face. Unknowingly, he raised his hand and pinched her cheek gently. Feeling her soft and fair skin, he could only smile at her dotingly.

He appreciated everything about her. Although she looked smart, she was very simple and pure when it came to relationships. With her, he felt comfortable and at home. In this complicated world, he preferred to live in the utmost simplicity.
