The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 285 The Comeback

"I'm loyal to the Gu family, and Master Kerr is also a member of this family. Don' forget that, My Lady."

Without waiting for her reply, Kelvin turned around and was about to leave when he stopped and said, "My Lady, I know that you want to get along with Master, so I believe that this is the best chance to do so.

If something bad really happened to Nicole because of you, I am certain that Master would without a doubt end his relations with you." Kelvin warned her calmly and left without another word.

As Freya glared at Kelvin's retreating figure, she said angrily under her breath, "I just want to make Kerr stronger. Is there something wrong with that?" Then, she crossed her arms and heaved a sigh.

Meanwhile, Kerr brought Nicole back to his villa. He helped her settle in the medical room of the villa. Now that they could not hide from the Gu family anymore, Kerr was determined to take back everything that truly belonged to them fair and square. Until then, that would only be the time they would be able to peacefully settle.

"Nicole, you are the only one who can be the hostess here, do you understand me?" Kerr said as soon as she was lying down on the bed. He had always wanted to run away with Nicole and lead a low-key life, but now, with all these happening here, he had no choice but to take her with him, especially when he had a feeling that something bad was bound to happen.

If that was going to be the case, he had to have Nicole be with him, so that he would be able to protect her and fight for her.

Nicole just gave Kerr a smile. She sensed a change in Kerr, but she didn't tell him about it. After all, no matter what happened, she would always be there for and with him.

Jay walked in, and when he passed by Kerr, there was a look of disdain in his eyes. "Easy for you to say, old man. You almost hurt my mommy again," he said with annoyance and turned his back on Kerr. Then, Jay walked towards Nicole and hugged her belly before he gave it a kiss.

"Don't be afraid, little sister. Your big brother is here to protect you," he said gently. Nicole ignored what he called Kerr. She was tired of reprimanding him. Moreover, in the past few days, Jay would spare some time to talk to the baby inside Nicole's baby, so Nicole thought Jay was just being sweet and was just really worried about the baby in her belly.

Sighing, she patted Jay's hair and felt quite helpless.

Kerr also ignored Jay's remark and asked Harley to examine Nicole and make sure she was all right. At least, Kerr still had someone he could trust to physical assess Nicole without having to be afraid of any ulterior motives.

After a while, Jay left the room. Before Kerr could have a moment with Nicole, his phone rang, so he excused himself and turned around to walk out of the room. At the same time, Harley walked in, making Nicole sit up on the bed. Seeing the frown on his face, Nicole was quite worried and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to the baby? Please tell me nothing wrong happened."

Hearing the worry in Nicole's voice, Harley shook his head and replaced the frown with a huge smile. "Oh no, I'm sorry for that. Your baby is totally fine, but Kerr and Jay are going to be disappointed."

Holding the ultrasound scan in his hand, Harley looked at Nicole with an obvious gloating in his eyes and waited for her to guess or ask for the result.

Nicole's eyebrows creased in confusion, which was immediately replaced with a knowing smile when she had a guess in her mind. She was about to speak when the door was pushed open, and Jay walked in. Nicole then remained quiet and gave Harley a look. Nodding in understanding, Harley

walked out of the room. When he left, Nicole looked at her belly and planned to keep the secret from Kerr and Jay until the last minute.

Meanwhile, on the balcony of the villa, Kerr heard what Kelvin had said on the phone, so he replied, "For now, I won't be going back to the Gu family just yet, so please inform my father about this. I am back, yes, but that doesn't mean I will accept the marriage proposal from the Gu family.

On the other hand, since I am still a member of the Gu family, I will make sure that nothing bad and threatening will happen to the Gu Group." With that, Kerr hung up the phone. He was already happily married with Nicole, so he would keep his stand firm and would not make any concession on this arranged marriage.

Kerr sighed heavily. He ran his fingers through his hair when a person came to his mind, so he immediately dialed the number.

The call took several rings before it was received. Before the receiver could say anything, Kerr immediately spoke. "This is the last time I will warn you. I don't care whether or not there is still a relation between the Fang family and the Chen family, but if Maggie dares to approach Nicole again with harm on her sleeves, I will never let either of you off. Do you hear me?"

Kerr did not care that Maggie was a woman. In fact, he saw her as an evil and vicious animal after what she had tried to do with Nicole. He also felt that Maggie would not stop until her desires were satisfied. Therefore, there was no way he would let her go. Who knew when she would attack again?

Hearing the warning, Baron immediately sat up from the bed in alarm and grimaced as he felt the pain of the wound on his shoulder. He ignored the pain and asked under his breath, "Maggie hurt Nicole again?" As far as he could remember, Maggie had attempted to scare Nicole in her wedding.

Because of that, he was so angry at her. If Maggie stayed still and did not do anything to harm Nicole, then the accident would not have happened and Maggie would not have lost the child. Moreover, he

would not have ended his relationship with her. If only Maggie did not become so greedy, then they would still be together now.

Kerr barely heard what Baron had said, but he clearly heard the last word. "Again? What do you mean by that? Speak louder, Baron," he asked. Kerr frowned and felt suspicious of Baron after hearing the tone of his voice.

Baron sighed slightly and replied, "I said I know what to do, so don't worry. Just make sure to keep an eye on Nicole." Without waiting for Kerr's reply, Baron hung up and immediately dialed Maggie's number. However, after a few tries, nobody answered.

This made Baron feel very uneasy. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Kerr looked at his phone and made a face at his call history with Baron. "Keep an eye on her? I already know that," he said, still feeling uncomfortable that Baron still had feelings for Nicole. Then, he walked back to the room and saw Nicole, leaning on the bed with a book about childbirth on her hand. When the door opened, Nicole raised her head from the book and gave him a smile. "Kerr, what if our baby is a boy, what should we call him?" she asked tentatively before she closed the book she was reading and placed it on the bedside table.

"No, the baby's name will be Joyce," Kerr said as he sat on the space beside Nicole on the bed and placed an arm over her. He shook his head and chose to ignore the possibility of the baby being a boy.

Nicole rolled her eyes playfully at him and asked, "But, what if it was a boy? I'm just asking hypothetically." Since Kerr was decided that the baby would be a girl, Nicole was suddenly curious about whether Kerr would throw the baby out if she gave birth to a boy.

Holding Nicole in his arms, Kerr shook his head again and said, changing the topic, "I plan to go back to the Gu Group tomorrow. I decided that before you deliver the baby, I will eliminate all the remaining power of Moore in the Gu Group and make sure that I get my position back.

When that happens, I can stay and wait with you for the birth of our baby Joyce."

Hearing what Kerr planned to do, Nicole was suddenly concerned about him. He made it sound like getting back his control of Gu Group was easy to do with such limited time. "Will you be able to make it? There is only one month left before I am expected to give birth, Kerr. I don't want you to feel pressured and too stressed. You should take all the time you need," Nicole said with worry. After all, he had to remove any trace of Moore's power and save the Gu Group.

With many powerful people backing Moore, she could not even imagine how difficult and stressful that would be for Kerr.

Kerr stroke Nicole's hair and tuck them behind her ear to give him a clearer look of her face. Then, he kissed her forehead and said, "Of course, I can. Don't worry about it. I had missed Jay's birth before, so I won't miss Joyce's this time." He was determined to be with her especially when she needed him the most, so he would make sure to do everything that he could to fulfill this promise.

With that, the corner of her mouth slightly curled up into a weak smile. Soon, in Kerr's arms, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

As the pure moonlight shone on her face, Kerr caressed Nicole for a moment and admired her beauty under the light of the moon. Then, he gave her another kiss on the cheek before he too succumbed into slumber.

In the following month, this night was going to be the most sound and peaceful sleep for Kerr.

When the moonlight was replaced by the light rays of the sun, Kerr carefully got up of the bed, so as not to wake Nicole, who was still sound asleep. Then, he took a bath to freshen up and wore a formal corporate outfit. He gave Nicole a kiss on the cheek and left the villa.

As soon as Kerr stepped foot in the Gu Group, his face was as cold as ice. All the senior managers had already been informed of his comeback, so they all gathered and waited for him in the conference room.

Kerr walked in further and saw Kelvin, standing at the reception desk with a smile. As Kerr was getting closer to him, Kelvin then moved towards him. With a bow, he greeted, "Master, welcome back."

Back then, it was Kelvin who had informed the employees that Kerr would be replaced in the Gu Group, and now it was also him to inform them that Kerr would be back. However, everyone understood that it was Jack who was behind all this.

On the other hand, a while Porsche was parked right across the gate of the Gu Group's building. Inside the car was Moore, who was staring in the direction of the building.

He stayed outside, because, after all, it was inappropriate for him to show up at such an occasion where he was not welcomed.

"Make sure to enjoy yourself and savor this moment, Kerr. There is always a calm before a storm," he said under his breath. With a satisfied and sly smile on his face, Moore then drove away from the Gu Group.

When he was on the road, a red Ferrari sped past him, which made Moore's eyes lit up. He immediately stepped on the gas and followed the car.
