Chapter 224 I Can't Stand Betrayal
"Don't be silly. I was just making an excuse to them. It's impossible that the baby could be mine. Besides, I didn't want you to stay there any longer in your condition.
I just wanted to take you out of there as quickly as possible. Did you want to stay there?"
Kerr took her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek.
As if he had won the whole world when Nicole nestled in his arms, he smiled with deep satisfaction and continued, "Nicole, I know what kind of life you want, and I'll give it to you."
Holding his hand, she joyfully felt the warmth from him and raised her lips. "I'm warning you. If you have anything to do with Sunny‘s child, I won't let you get away with it!"
She pinched his palm, half-playfully and half-threateningly.
"Kerr, you've already chosen me and there's no turning back. It's too late to back out now. We'll be together until the end of the road."
She refused to give up halfway.
Kerr held Nicole tightly, gently patting her back and trying to comfort her, but carefully avoiding her belly.
"Nicole, I know you want a peaceful and quiet life. I know all about that. I'm preparing for that, and when everything's done, I'll take you out of here.
I don't want to have anything to do with the Gu family anymore. A happy and quiet life with you is all I want. I have found the illegitimate child of the Gu family, and I intend to bring him to take over the Gu family. Then I will leave this business behind us."
Kerr had never told this to Nicole. He had planned to hide it from her and tell her later as a surprise, but now he just wanted to reassure her and make her feel safe.
She wasn't the sort of woman to appreciate surprises anyway.
Nicole was stunned by this bit of news. She raised her head to look at him with disbelief in her eyes, "Are you really willing to give up your position as the eldest son of the Gu family? Then you will lose everything you have in the family business."
Nicole was sure that Kerr had the ability to develop the Gu Group beyond all limits. But if he quit, he would lose everything.
"Kerr, are you sure you want to give up everything now?"
This was a momentous decision. She hoped he would think about it very carefully. It might be terrible if he regretted his decision in the future.
Seeing the disbelief in Nicole‘s eyes, Kerr gently tapped her nose and said, "As long as I'm doing it for you, why should I regret it?" To give up the Gu Group in exchange for living happily ever after with you is an excellent deal."
Kerr only wanted Nicole.
Feeling touched, she pressed her face cheek-to-cheek with Kerr and said, "I'm afraid that you'll regret in the future. When we are old, our passion will burn out.
Then you will regret your choice. Then you will blame me..."
No matter how strong their love was at that moment, she knew that time could alter everything, so she couldn't help being worried. Still, as long as Kerr had chosen her, she would never let him down.
He had to make the decision by himself.
He had to give her the courage to face their future together.
Kerr had a subtle smile on his face as he touched her long hair and said, "Silly girl, nothing is more precious than you. What's more, when the time comes and we're old, we can still be together and watch the sunset together. Isn't that the best sort of life?"
Nicole nodded in Kerr's arms and felt content. With that prospect, she felt calmer about her problems.
"I am waiting for you to give me a bright future. I will be with you and we will have our baby. I hope that you will always tell me everything, no matter what happens. I don't want to hear about your problems from other people."
Trust was the foundation of love.
Kerr kissed Nicole's forehead and said, "I will. Just promise me not to overthink it. I will stay by your side."
What they didn't know was that when they left the Gu family's house, everyone in the Gu family's old house was unhappy.
With disappointment written all over her face, Sunny sat on the couch and watched helplessly as Kerr left. In the end, she still couldn't win his heart with the baby in her belly.
"Sunny, don't worry about it. The only thing you need to do is take care of your baby. After you give birth to Kerr's baby, you will be his wife,"
Freya comforted Sunny. As a woman who had gone through a similar experience, Freya certainly knew how important giving birth to a boy would be in this family.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
If Freya hadn't given birth to Kerr, she wouldn't be living such a good life now.
After nodding to Freya, Sunny pressed her hand to her abdomen. Then she stood up, bid farewell to Jack and Freya, and left the Gu family's old house.
Daniel had already gone shortly after Kerr left.
As he noticed Sunny's disappointment, Moore made an excuse to leave the house with her. He walked to the door of the house and quickened his pace to catch up with her.
"Miss He, please wait a minute. May I have the honor to give you a ride?"
Moore's voice stopped her in her tracks. Sensing that he wanted to help her again, she nodded.
Sitting in the passenger's seat, Sunny nodded and smiled at Moore. "Thank you for your help, Mr. Moore Gu. I'll never forget your kindness."
Sunny was glad that a member of the Gu family wanted to help her, but she didn't know exactly what Moore had in mind.
With one hand on the steering wheel, Moore leaned against the door and supported himself with his elbow. He shook his head and said, "Sunny, you don't need to thank me. By helping you, I'm also helping myself."
He decided not to keep the secret from Sunny anymore. After all, the DNA test would be done in the future, so it would be better to let her know the truth sooner.
Hearing the way he addressed her, Sunny frowned suspiciously. In fact, it was not a big deal for them to address each other familiarly, since they were about the same age, but she was surprised to hear Moore change so suddenly.
Sunny was somehow uncomfortable with it. "Please pull over, Mr. Moore Gu."
All of a sudden, she was afraid to stay next to Moore. His aura at that moment had become frightening.
