The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 157

Kerr gently kissed the corner of Nicole's mouth, stood up, and left.

He went downstairs where he paused for a moment to look at the man and the boy who were playing international chess in the living room with a leisurely attitude.

"I don't feel like playing this anymore."

With a random push, Harley scattered the pieces across the board—clearly he was about to be defeated. He looked at Kerr as if pleading with his family member and thought that he finally had a way out.

"Uncle Su, you were losing the game. You can't break your promise just because I am a child."

Seeing the expression on Harley's face, Jay reminded him earnestly.

"Who said that I was breaking my promise? We can finish the game, but I can't do it now."

With this excuse, Harley looked at Kerr, avoiding Jay's keen eyes.

"What happened? Does your father want to force you to hand over your power?"

It was the logical conclusion. It seemed that all parents liked to use this trick to try and get their way. It had been the same when Harley had tried to escape from his marriage by going abroad.

"More or less. It's not quite that serious. How is everything going with Ken?"

Kerr had made a mental note of it. Anyway, it was dangerous for either Jay or Nicole to stay here. Besides, Kerr had his own suspicions about what had happened yesterday.

Hearing this, Harley shrugged his shoulders.

"I have called him. Ken said that everything is fine, but it will take some time. I guess you'll have to deal with the trouble here, too. There were so many coincidences last night."

After returning last night, Harley had carefully reflected on the whole event. There were just too many things that happened for it to be circumstantial, which probably meant that someone had set everything up.

While he considered this, Kerr picked up the cup from the table and took a sip of water.

"This matter somehow concerns the He family. I don't think it is that simple. I have asked Jared to look into it. I have something else for you to do."

Kerr knew that the road ahead would be filled with difficulties, but no matter what, he couldn't let anyone take Nicole away from him. Besides, he wanted to do something to surprise her.

"What about Harrow? Why isn't he here with you?"

In the past, no matter what happened to Harley, Harrow would never leave him alone. But Kerr realized that he hadn't seen Harrow in quite some time.

Hearing Kerr's question, Harley felt guilty, and his face turned a deeper red. He lowered his head to hide the emotions on his face. After a moment of silence, he hesitated and thought of how to explain it.

He still held a lot of doubts in his heart, but he did not expect such serious consequences. If he knew this would have happened, he would not have slackened off that day.

"Where is Harrow?" Kerr asked again.

He frowned slightly. In all the time he had known Harley, he had seldom seen such an expression on his face. Kerr was surprised to see it now, and upon reflection realized that he hadn't seen Harrow at all recently.

Ever since Harrow had been with Harley, he had never left him.

At the mention of Harrow, Harley's eyes grew dim. He sighed and refused to look at Kerr.

"He left. When I went to find Harrow, he had left me a letter, but he was gone."

Kerr's face darkened. He looked grimly at Harley.

"Find him. Maybe he knows something we don't."

Kerr couldn't believe that Harrow's leaving was coincidental. It seemed unlikely that Harrow was willing to leave Harley, and it meant that someone had to be threatening Harrow behind their backs. Although Kerr could guess who that person might be, he still needed verification.
