The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 190

Resting her elbow on the armrest linked to the car door, Nicole brought a hand to her forehead.

These past few days felt like a lifetime for Nicole.

When Baron heard her tired voice, he knew that between confronting the Gu family and investigating the bankruptcy of Ning Group, Nicole was having a hard time since she started seeing Kerr.

He could sense that Nicole was no longer the carefree girl who went to the university with him. She had grown up, but he had nothing to do with her change.

"Is it Kerr’s baby?" Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear it from her. It seemed this was the only way for him to give up nurturing any hope.

Nicole turned her head and met Baron's eyes. "Since you already know the answer to that, why do you ask? What's wrong with you? You're so different today." Nicole looked at him with a frown and noticed a dazzling light reflecting in his eyes.

By the time she averted her gaze from Baron and glanced at the opposite side of the road, she understood what was happening. Immediately, Nicole reached out for the steering wheel and changed its course.

The silver Rolls Royce almost crashed with the truck coming on the other side, but Nicole was able to act in time to avoid an accident. When the danger was gone, she was left sweating in panic for what could have happened. If it hadn't been for her quick reaction, they would have been dead now.

"Are you crazy? Baron! I'm carrying an innocent life inside of me. Did you want me and my baby to die with you?" Once the car had stopped, Nicole was so angry that she couldn't help accusing Baron.

Then, she immediately left the vehicle and stood by the side of the road with a frown.

Baron remained in the driver's seat, looking at the angry expression on Nicole's face. That moment in which he saw the truck lights, he really thought about leaving this world with Nicole. It would be a sad yet beautiful ending for him.

Or at least, he would have been with her.

Nicole turned around and looked at Baron in a daze inside the car. Still frowning, she asked, "What's the matter with you, Baron? If you don't tell me, I'll leave now."

She knew that Baron would definitely tell her if she threatened to leave him.

Getting out of the car, Baron walked up to Nicole and grabbed her wrist. "Nicole, stay with me tonight. I don't want to be alone."

Baron realized that he might not be able to spend time with Nicole like this anymore. Despite always telling himself that he should forget about his feelings for her, he never managed to reach his goal.

Embarrassed, Nicole freed her wrist from Baron's grasp as she looked at him with concern. "What happened, Baron? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

If possible, she would help him fix whatever was bothering him, but Baron knew there was nothing she could do about what he needed to face.

Staring at Nicole's red lips, Baron rested his hands on her shoulders and leaned forward, wanting to kiss her.

When she noticed what Baron was doing, she turned her head to avoid him and pushed him away. In the car, she had smelled the alcohol on him.
