The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 229 The Wedding Date

Everyone in the crowd turned to look at Nicole.

Nicole took out her phone and looked at the news headline popped up on the notifications of her phone, which read, "The CEO of the Gu Group and the daughter of the He Group's CEO are engaged. Their wedding will be held on the 18th of next month."

Nicole knew that the Gu family was putting pressure on Kerr. But when she saw it publicly announced that her beloved would be married to someone else, she was devastated.

Kerr's face was grave as he held Nicole's hand, not wanting her to be influenced by such things.

"Nicole, trust me. They can't influence me at all. I won't be with anyone except you.

I will never agree to the so-called wedding. If they arrange it, I won't show up. If you don't believe, I can prove it to you right now."

Putting down her phone, Nicole turned to look at Kerr beside her, with a smile on her lips. "I know."

Then she looked at everyone present. She knew that they were worried about her, so she said, as if she had no worries in the world, "I'm very happy today. I don't want to think about such unhappy things.

I know that all of you have worked very hard for me in recent days. I'm really grateful that I can have all of you. This wine is a token of my regards."

Nicole picked up the glass in front of her and was ready to drink it up, but before her lips could touch the glass, Kerr took her wine away.

"You are pregnant. I'll drink it for you." Kerr drank up the wine for her.

Though he said nothing about it, Kerr noticed a strange look in Nicole‘s eyes which he found concerning. She had been moody ever since becoming pregnant.

Kerr expected that Nicole would be very angry when she received such news. So when he saw the smile on her face, it made him a little worried.

After all, it would be awful if she got angry.

Although Nicole said she was fine, everyone who was there knew that she was pretending to be calm. Everyone knew how embarrassed Nicole was now.

Therefore, as they sensed the awkwardness, they all found excuses to leave the dinner.

Even Jay was taken away by Harley, who made an excuse.

Nicole lowered her eyes and the smile on her lips disappeared bit by bit. "I said that I'm fine," she murmured.

She shook Kerr's hand away suddenly. Instead of looking at Kerr beside her, she just tried to hold back her anger.

"Nicole, if you feel anything wrong, you can say it. I don't want you to hide your feelings." He tried to reach out and hug her, but she dodged him.

"What should I say? That I'm happy to be your mistress while you marry someone else? Or should I say that this was completely outside your expectations?

I know you can't do anything about it, but please give me some time. This is a lot to process right now. I'm not as strong as you think."

There was helplessness in her voice. She didn't want to have a conflict with Kerr because of this. She still trusted him, but she couldn't ignore the anger in her heart.

She couldn't turn a blind eye to this. Her relationship with Kerr was genuine, but his family put her in such a horribly painful situation. She knew it wasn't Kerr's fault.

It was time for her to fight back.

Kerr couldn't stand the sadness on her face for a moment longer. He stood up and said, "I'll make an announcement now. I won't marry Sunny. The one I want to marry is you."

After that, Kerr took a step forward. When he was about to walk outside, Nicole grabbed his wrist. "Kerr, I can't let you have a conflict with your parents because of me. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I don't need you to do this. Don't worry, I trust you. It will be fine."

Nicole held Kerr's wrist and stopped him. "You mustn't rush things."

She knew that the Gu family would try to take action against her.

When he heard that, Kerr felt such pity for her. He was resolved to do something for her, even if he didn't go back to his parents’ house to argue with them.

As time went by, Nicole focused all her attention on the Ning Group. It was her only way of keeping her sadness away.

From that day forth, Kerr and Nicole still slept on the same bed, but Kerr suddenly seemed to be busy all the time. When he came home at night, Nicole was usually sleep in bed already.

One day, Nicole came back from work, and she saw Jay sitting on the sofa. "Mommy, you came back home so early today." When Jay saw how fatigued his mother was, he went to her right away, and took

her to the sofa.

"Mommy, you are very tired, right? How about a little massage? So that you won't feel tired." Jay put his small hand on her shoulder.

When she saw how thoughtful Jay was, Nicole smiled with relief. "Jay, let me take you on a business trip, okay?"

She remembered that two days later was the scheduled date of Kerr and Sunny's so-called wedding. Kerr still hadn't given her a satisfactory solution. She bore it in mind all the time.

Jay stopped and looked at her. "Mommy, will you leave just like that?" Jay would get even with Kerr.

He even had made up his mind that if Kerr actually dared to marry that Sunny, he would ruin Kerr's wedding. That way, he would avenge his mother and go away with her and his unborn sister.

Nicole knew that Jay was a smart kid, so she couldn't hide it from him. "No. I know you feel sorry for me.

But, don't worry. I’m not that vulnerable. I've thought it over. If Kerr really dares to marry Sunny, I'll take the baby away from him.

And we will hide somewhere to see if he cares when he can’t find us."

There was a trace of anger that Nicole couldn't hide. A few days ago, she really felt sad, but now she had figured it out.

She was in love with Kerr, and she believed that he loved her in return, so she wouldn't give up on him.

"Really?"
