The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 121

Kelvin fell silent and lowered his head. Kerr had never made grave mistakes, but now he had clearly struck his father's last nerve.

"Vedder is downstairs, My Lord," Kelvin brought up nervously.

Jack looked at Kelvin but said nothing.

Kelvin nodded.

"I'll talk to him," he murmured.

Kelvin then turned around and left the study, shutting the door behind him. He sighed as he went downstairs to talk to Vedder who he found waiting anxiously.

"What did the lord say?"

Vedder stepped forward, almost trembling with unease.

He and Kelvin were trained together. Since they came to the Gu family house, Kelvin became Jack's assistant while Vedder became Kerr's. With that, Vedder was as in trouble as Kerr for allowing him to become close to Nicole.

"He was too enraged to say anything. We better get that woman to leave the young master as soon as possible, or we'll both get fired or worse."

Kelvin looked worried.

"I've tried talking the young master out of it, but he won't listen to me. You should try talking to him," Vedder rambled.

He had tried reasoning with Kerr before about Nicole, but it did not work.

"Fine, I'll try. Better me than the lord dealing with his son himself."

Kelvin thought that this was the only way to keep Jack and Kerr's relationship intact.

"Be careful. You have no idea how much the young master cares about Miss Ning," Vedder reminded Kelvin.

Last time he commented about Kerr and Nicole's relationship, Vedder saw the most unhappy expression on Kerr's face. If Kelvin accidentally provoked him, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Oh, you're not off the hook yet, Vedder. We're in this together."

Kelvin was not about to do this all on his own. Vedder would watch his back.

At the hospital, Kerr had just coaxed Jay to sleep.

He then walked to Nicole's ward.

Baron was no longer there. Nicole was sitting on her bed with a computer on her lap. She did not look up when she heard someone come in. She smiled slightly.

"You're back."

Even though she did not see him, Nicole knew it was Kerr.

"How did you know it's me?"

Kerr climbed onto the bed and sat beside Nicole.

"You're the only one who comes in here without knocking first."

Nicole softly leaned her head on Kerr's shoulder.

"Has Baron given up then?"

Kerr trusted Nicole, but he did not trust Baron. He had always had doubts about what was going on between them.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, we're just good friends. We've simply known each other for a long time."

Nicole was telling the truth. She had never given Baron any chance. After all, she found out she was pregnant not long after she had been in Manhattan. She could not help laughing at the memory.
