The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 130

"Isn't it up to you to propose to me?" Nicole continued to ask.

She turned to look at Kerr, and both dissatisfaction and doubt played in her eyes.

"Do you want me to propose now? Okay, as you wish."

With his eyes fixed on her, Kerr held her shoulders, but before he could bend his knee, Nicole stopped him.

"I was just kidding. Do you think me serious?"

When Nicole saw Kerr's actions, she was surprised. Before Kerr could bend a knee, she stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm, stopping him from kneeling.

The moment Kerr bowed, Nicole sensed there was something wrong as her heart was racing.

She didn't expect that Kerr would really want to marry her. It was exactly what she had hoped for, but she couldn't feel happy when she recalled what happened this morning.

Kerr stood straight, watching the melancholy paint Nicole's face. There was an understanding look in his eyes. He was waiting for her to say something, but his intuition told him that she would remain silent and act tough.

A sudden ringing broke the silence between them.

Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Kerr looked at the Caller ID and tapped the answer button.

"What is it?" he said into the phone.

Head tilted quizzically to one side, Nicole gazed at Kerr. But she couldn't hear his replies above the hiss of the sea breeze.

She didn't know what the other party on the line said, but she saw Kerr hang up the phone immediately.

"Which do you want to hear first, good or bad news?"

Kerr mysteriously asked.

"The bad news."

Nicole had got used to dealing with bad news first. Only in this way could she enjoy the good news.

"You will be very tired for the next couple of days."

However, it wasn't really bad news for him to have Nicole with him all the time. Maybe the best way to protect her was to keep her in the Gu Group.

"What is the good news?"

In fact, Nicole had ventured a guess, but she was not sure. After all, the results of the bidding would not become public until tomorrow.

"Gu Group won the bidding,"

Kerr said indifferently. In fact, this was not really important to him, but it was a confirmation of Nicole's efforts, so it made a different sense to him.

"Really? It's worth it."

She seemed surprised, but then she finally felt relieved.

"My Nicole is the best."

Kerr scooped Nicole up and carried her to his car. Although it was summer now, the water at night was on the chilly side. Kerr worried that Nicole would catch a cold if her feet were soaked in the water.

Nicole wrapped her arms around Kerr's neck and let him carry her away.

"Kerr, if I disappeared from your world one day, what would you do?"

She had never thought of leaving Kerr, but she needed to secure the safety of her son, and she didn't want Kerr to stand in conflict with the Gu family because of her. It seemed that she had stepped in a dilemma.

If there really was no way to have the best of both worlds, then she would have to take her beloved son away immediately. Only once she made sure that he was safe, could she come back to find Kerr. But she didn't know if Kerr would wait until she returned.

"I won't let that happen."
