The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 60 How Do You Know I Can't Fulfill Your Wish

Jay was eating his lunch peacefully when his mobile phone vibrated in his pocket. He took out his phone curiously and saw that Kerr had sent him a message. Looking at the picture sent by Kerr, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He immediately dialed his number.

"Uncle Gu, you shouldn't take advantage of Mommy while she is sleeping!"

Although he fervently hoped for his mommy to be together with Kerr, he would still respect her mommy's wishes. No one should force her to do something against her will, including Uncle Gu. He would not let anyone hurt his mommy.

"She is just sleeping. I didn't do anything to her," Kerr assured Jay.

When he heard Jay's tender but protective voice, Kerr had a strange feeling.

"Okay. I think Mommy is sleepy because she stayed up last night. Don't forget to remind her to eat. She tends to skip meals when she gets too focused on work. I will go to class now, Uncle."

Jay hung up with a happy smile on his face.

Kerr put down his phone and decided to let Nicole rest. This bid was of great importance. Normally, he would closely oversee important projects like this instead of assigning it to someone else.

However, Nicole would be able to make great accomplishments if she successfully handled this project. Thus, he wanted to hand over the project to Nicole and give her the chance to prove herself. In any case, regardless of whether she completed this task or not, he would always stand by her side and back her up.

His eyes went to the closed door. There was a tender look in his eyes that no one had ever seen before.

Meanwhile, Nicole was sleeping soundly while unaware of the tender gaze she was receiving from the man behind the door. She continued to sleep deeply until dusk fell. Finally feeling rested, she turned over to the other side but did not get up because the bed was so soft.

When she finally opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar room. Surprised, she suddenly sat up and looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

She looked a little panicked. She got out of the bed and tidied up her appearance as best as she could.

The lounge was designed to maintain Kerr's privacy, so it was pretty much secluded and hard to navigate. That was why it took a lot of work for Nicole to find the exit.

Hearing the noise coming from the lounge, Kerr knew that Nicole had woken up. In order to fetch her, he stood up and walked directly towards the lounge. As he turned the knob and pushed the door open, he heard a thud.

"Ouch!" Nicole shrieked in pain.

She was standing at the door when she was suddenly pushed to the ground when the door opened. As she sat on the floor, she raised her hand to touch her forehead with a frown on her face. Thankfully, her face was not wounded. She lifted her gaze to get a look at the man towering over her.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing the disheveled Nicole, Kerr crouched down and grabbed her chin to carefully examine her face. Awkwardly, she pulled his hand away from her face.

"Why are you here? Where am I?"

The last thing she remembered doing was taking a nap. Instead of waking up in her office, she was dumbfounded to find herself in an unfamiliar room. Since Kerr was here, there was no doubt that he

was involved with this incident.

"How's your forehead?"

He didn't answer her question, and inquired after her injury instead.

"Never mind. I know Mr. Gu is very busy. I should go now."

She stood up and fixed her clothes while ignoring Kerr. Right when she was about to go outside, Kerr grabbed her arm firmly.

"What do you want?"

When she turned her face to look at Kerr, she frowned slightly. The affection she had for him last night disappeared with time.

"You already know what I want, don't you?"

He suddenly pulled Nicole to embrace her. Enveloping her with his strong arms, he looked at Nicole who was struggling hard while blushing. Her expression was so amusing.

She had constantly rejected his affections and advances toward her, which felt extremely frustrating. Strange enough, her resistance only made him more possessive about her.

"Please behave yourself, Mr. Gu. I'm not one of your women."

Nicole put her hands on Kerr's chest as she tried to distance herself from him. But no matter how much she tried to push him away, the warm scent of his cologne which filled her nostrils made her blush harder.

The musky scent reminded her of that passionate night seven years ago.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Men who saw women as objects like Kerr were dangerous and she shouldn't put herself in any danger.

"Really? Then, what kind of woman do you wish to become? Don't you think I can fulfill your wish? Maybe you want to be my only woman?"

He remembered what Nicole once told him. She said that she wanted a man who could commit wholly to her. He hesitated that time, but now, he was ready to give her everything she wanted.

"Do you think you can fulfill my wish? As the head of the Gu Group, you can have any woman you want. Why waste your time on me? I don't want you to lose the fun with other women because of me."

There was provocation in Nicole's eyes when she looked at Kerr. She was challenging him. She knew that Kerr was smart enough to choose the entire forest over one tree.

Kerr was a logical man. Making this decision wouldn't be difficult for him. Anyone who used their head would know how important freedom was. Why commit to one woman if you could have many women?

Nicole did not know that after meeting her, Kerr had become a changed man.

"How do you know that I can't fulfill your wish?"

He bent slightly to give her a kiss, but she turned her head to avoid his lips. Trapped in his embrace, she was feeling very hot and sweaty.

When Nicole's scent wafted through his nose, it took almost all of his will power to fight off the strong primal impulse that suddenly assaulted his body. Looking at her delicate features of up close, he was becoming more and more intoxicated.

Looking back, it seemed that his life had changed drastically ever since he met her. He felt strange that he could no longer clearly recall what life was like before she came.

When Nicole saw the complicated look on Kerr's face, a faint hint of anger gleamed in her eyes. She quickly concealed her emotions as she curled her lips into a faint smile.

She raised her hand to point her index finger at Kerr and motioned him to come closer.

Enchanted by her inviting smile, Kerr leaned forward.

"Go to hell! I won't believe you!"

Nicole lifted her five inches high heels and stepped heavily on Kerr's fortunately hard leather shoes, and gave him a hard stomp.

Before Kerr could react, Nicole pushed him away and ran out of the room.

She told herself over and over again to never believe in Kerr. Although she kept rejecting him, her heart throbbed for his love. It was hard for her, but she couldn't put herself in a situation beyond redemption.

Even without looking in the mirror, Nicole knew that her face was as red as a tomato. She was sweating profusely. She couldn't forget the sensation of being embraced by him. His wild look, warmth and musky smell were invading her mind. She really didn't expect that she would meet such a person like him.

"Miss Ning, please wait!"

Standing at the door of Kerr's office, Sunny looked at her coldly.

It was a mystery to her why Kerr stayed in his office the whole afternoon and forbade everyone from entering his office. Now she realized that it was because of Nicole. When she saw the wrinkles on Nicole's clothes, Sunny's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Kerr was alone with Nicole during the whole afternoon. She couldn't imagine what happened between them.
