The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 187

Avery came towards Nicole as soon as she saw her friend. Since she knew that Nicole would be there, she agreed reluctantly to attend the party with her brother who was not related by blood.

"Avery! I didn't expect to see you around here. I thought that you didn't like this kind of banquet."

Avery walked up to Nicole. "Is it just me that I haven't seen your beloved today yet?

I never thought that Kerr could let his woman be alone like this."

"He had to go abroad for business matters." Again, Nicole had been lying to others.

"By the way, you haven't told me why you are here." As Nicole noticed Avery's curiosity, she tried to change the subject.

On hearing that, Avery‘s smile disappeared. "I forced myself to come here because of that monster." Sighing helplessly, Avery turned around and saw the man that was drinking and talking to others.

Following Avery’s gaze, Nicole saw the so-called monster and smiled faintly. There was only one person in the world that could give Avery the worst headache, and his name was Zachary Lin.

He was the adopted son of the Lin family and he was also the CEO of the Lin Group. And for Avery's bad luck, he was her so-called brother.

Feeling the attentive gazes, Zachary turned around to greet the people around him and then walked towards the two women.

Weirdly, Nicole thought of Kerr as she looked at Zachary's eyes.

He looked back at Nicole who was in a daze and greeted her. "Hi Nicole! Long time no see." It was not until then that Nicole came to her senses.

Zachary smiled gently and looked like a real gentleman. But when Nicole looked at him, she seemed to have some mixed feelings.

She just greeted him with a smirk. " Hey Zachary! When did you come back? And yes, it's really been a long time since we last met." She remembered that the last time they met was at middle school.

Eventually, they went abroad for further education and they never contacted each other again.

As far as she could recall, Zachary had always been a gentle elder brother. However, he had turned into a sophisticated and mature man now.

And for her surprise, he looked a bit like Kerr. Maybe it was because she missed Kerr too much that she just made a wrong judgment. She could only lower her head to hide her noticeable disappointment.

With a faint smile in the eyes of Zachary, he looked at her. "I came back a month ago. I haven't seen you for a long time. Fortunately, I will have a lot of chances to see you in the future."

Avery rolled her eyes at him as she saw Zachary's polite behavior. With a scornful look, she took Nicole's hand and brought her aside so as to avoid Zachary.

When Nicole saw the disdainful look on Avery‘s face, she couldn't help but laugh a bit. "What's wrong with you two?" Nicole knew that Avery had been avoiding Zachary since the middle school times.

When she asked for the reason, Avery only said that she hated Zachary badly. She didn't say anything else. Nevertheless, Nicole didn't expect that the two of them would still be throwing shade to each other after so many years.

Avery shook her head slightly. "You know what, forget about it. How have you been recently? I heard some news from the outside. How is your thing with Kerr?" Avery didn't want to talk about Zachary anymore.

She was really worried about Nicole. Since Nicole was dismissed by the Gu Group, it was Avery’s first time to meet her. Therefore, she was concerned about Nicole's state.

Nicole had a peaceful smile on her face as she thought of the baby in her belly. "Well, I need to tell you a secret. I'm not alone anymore." As Nicole said that, she put her hand on her stomach.

Avery couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. Avery looked down and saw Nicole‘s stomach. She seemed to understand what Nicole meant.

"Oh my God! When did this happen? Wait, are Kerr and you getting married then?" Avery thought that if Nicole gave birth to a child, the Gu family would naturally have to accept her. Therefore, Avery hoped that Nicole and Kerr could get married as soon as possible.
