The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 281 Something Happened

"Kerr, it's very pleasant to be here." Although she felt comfortable there and she would miss that place after they left, she knew they had to leave.

"You can stay here if you like." There were complex emotions reflected in Kerr‘s eyes as he looked around.

Nicole put her arms around Kerr's waist and said, "Kerr, let's go back. After all, this is not our home, no matter how nice it is."

When he was about to say no, Nicole covered his mouth with her hand. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on his chin. "I know what you are thinking. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I'm not afraid of anything as long as I'm with you, but running away is not the best idea. We can't bury our heads in the sand forever. We know that Gu Group can’t survive without you.

No matter how difficult your father has made things for us, he is still your father and your family. We should respect him and should try to support him. Of course no one can ever separate us."

Even if Nicole was willing to let Kerr go back for the Gu Group, it didn't mean that she would sacrifice her marriage for the Gu family.

She just wanted Kerr to have the best possible future with her.

Kerr reached out and held her by the waist.

"I won't let anyone hurt you." He didn't want to put any pressure on Nicole. Kerr had already sent Harley back, so he was optimistic that he could find Sunny before long.

That way, as long as the evidence proved his innocence, Kerr could take Nicole back to the Gu family and make it up for her.

Therefore, he was waiting for the right moment.

"How could I be hurt if I'm with you? I just don't want your company to collapse because it's in Moore's hands. Let's go back.

The Gu Group is more important." She was very considerate. Even though Kerr didn't tell her about the details, she had observed him working on his scheme during those sleepless nights.

In order to prevent the Gu Group from suffering a crippling loss, Kerr had to make a large investment in the company, under other people's names, in order to stabilize the Gu Group's situation.

She didn't want him to work so hard and be tired.

"Nicole, do you really think so?" He knew that she had his best interests in mind.

Nicole nodded. "I promise you, I really believe this."

Lowering his head, Kerr kissed her lips softly. He was still deeply concerned about her.

Kerr lifted her up in his arms and walked deep into the woods.

"Where are we going?" She looked ahead and asked in curiosity, seeing that they were not going back to the villa.

But Kerr just kissed her lips again without saying anything.

They walked forward for about fifteen minutes and passed through a large forest. Eventually they saw an ocean of flowers in front of them. "Does it feel familiar?"

He put Nicole on the ground and embraced her from behind while she leaned against his chest.

Nicole nodded. These flowers reminded her of the ocean of flowers in A City, but it seemed that the flowers here were more natural and fresh.

"How did you find this place?" Nicole was full of curiosity. It felt like she was in a fairy tale.

Obviously, there was few people around here. As far as Nicole could remember, Kerr had stayed with her almost every day, so how could he have time to find such a beautiful place?

What Kerr didn't tell Nicole was that although he never went around on foot to find this place by himself, he had a drone which made it possible for him to scope out his surroundings easily.

It was his only way of ensuring Nicole's safety.

"With just a bit of thought, I was able to find it. Do you remember the last time we walked through a field of flowers, you didn’t really trust me." Kerr walked through the flower field, holding her hand.

The memory of that rainy night with the fierce thunder and lightning was fresh in his memory.

Nicole blushed. "You have a notorious history as a playboy. If you had known you would meet me in the future, would you still have fallen in love with your ex-girlfriends?"

Even though Nicole never looked into it, she could easily imagine how many women were around him when he was such an eligible, rich young bachelor.

Kerr smiled faintly. "Ex-girlfriends? Let me think about it." Kerr pretended to be serious, but Nicole pinched his ear.

"Do you even have to think about your answer? Listen, Kerr. Now that you've chosen me, you're my man for the rest of my life.

You'd better think about it carefully, or don't blame me for losing my patience with you,"

Nicole announced in a huff.

Kerr kissed her. "That's your promise. You have to keep your word." Nicole's threat didn't scare Kerr. In fact, it delighted him.

He took Nicole in his arms. But a second later, he caught a flash of an unknown figure nearby. He frowned and his face darkened. "Nicole, hide behind me."

Kerr pushed Nicole behind him, looking vigilantly at the figure in the forest ahead. They would have to walk through the forest if they wanted to go back to the villa.

The romantic mood suddenly dissipated and Nicole felt nervous. She tried her best to calm herself down, with her hands over her belly, so as not to let her fear affect the baby.

"Who's there?" Kerr said to the distance.

Looking at the shadow on the ground, Kerr could see that the stranger was shaking a little. Kerr sensed that something was wrong, and nodded to Nicole behind him.

"I'll go to have a look." There was no one around, so it was safe to leave her there for a moment.

Nicole was a bit doubtful, but she nodded to Kerr and said, "Be careful." So she watched Kerr go towards the shadow.

Kerr approached that shadow step by step, but saw bright red liquid on the ground when he was closer.

"Back off!" a man's voice warned him.

Kerr stopped. One thing was clear from the man’s voice. "You are injured," Kerr said calmly.
