The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 129

Staring at Kerr's back, Nicole opened her mouth to say something but changed her mind on second thought.

She knew he was trying hard to love her the right way and couldn't ignore how much he had changed for her. It was breaking her heart at the thought of having to let go of him.

But after a whole day, she hadn't come up with a solution.

"What's wrong?"

Kerr turned to Nicole with a loving look in his eyes.

Nicole reached out and put her arms around Kerr's middle, hugging him close to her.

"I just want to hug you."

She wanted to pour her heart and tell Kerr everything but knew that certain things were better if kept from him.

Kerr could see right through her. Yet he just held her back without questioning what was troubling her.

"I want to take you somewhere."

Kerr lifted Nicole into his arms and led her straight to the car. Once he had her placed on the passenger's seat, he went around the vehicle and got in the driver's seat. Then, he took off from the hospital.

"Where are we going? Jay is still in the hospital."

Although Nicole was worried about Jay, she also didn't want to turn Kerr down.

"Jared will take care of him."

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other intertwined with Nicole's, Kerr had a gentle look on his face.

It was quickly getting dark outside when Nicole looked around the road. Despite the awfully quiet streets, she couldn't see much nor tell where they were.

Even so, she wasn't worried since she had Kerr by her side.

All of a sudden, the lights on both sides of the road turned on each at a time as if they could detect their passing car. Slowly, the whole night lit up for them.

As if she was in the middle of a spectacle, Nicole's entire face lifted in awe.

"Did you prepare all this?"

She didn't need for him to answer; the tenderness in his eyes had already confirmed it.

Kerr kept driving until he got to the beach. After he parked, he got off the car and walked to Nicole's side, quickly having her door opened for her. With an offering hand, he helped her out of the vehicle.

"Close your eyes,"

he whispered to her ear, his voice calm and full of love.

Obediently, Nicole smiled, doing as he said. Then she bit her lower lip, anxious for what would happen next.

A couple of seconds later, she heard some muffled voices not far from where she stood. But before she could pay any attention to it, much louder noises burst out.

Squeak... Slap!
