The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 199

"Are you proposing?"

Nicole knew that it was impossible for them to get married at that time, and that they still had many obstacles to prevent them. However, she still couldn't resist a thrill of excitement at the prospect.

In this world, there is no woman who isn't looking forward to her own wedding.

Seeing the hopeful expectation in Nicole's eyes, Kerr felt a bit guilty. Even though Nicole was carrying his child, he still hadn't given her the respectability of a married woman.

He knew how much stress Nicole had endured for him. This knowledge made him cherish her all the more.

"Nicole, on the day I propose to you at last, I'll tell everyone that you're my woman." Kerr's promise was deep and sincere. She could see it in his tender eyes. He had firmly made up his mind.

Kerr's face was perfectly serious as he looked Nicole in the eye. Nicole smiled and nodded.

"Kerr, I know what's in your heart. You don't have to be so anxious to reassure me. It's not a life-and-death issue for me anyway. As long as I can stay by your side, I will always be satisfied."

She knew that the difficulties she was currently facing were out of Kerr's expectations. She didn't want to give him so much pressure.

Kerr extended his arms and wrapped her into a warm embrace.

He held her in his arms and closed his eyes. He stayed with her until she was sound asleep and comfortable under the blankets in the lounge. Then he went back to his office.

In the bathroom

Moore looked at the documents in his hand. He was beaming with triumph. With this information in his hands, all of Nicole's efforts in recent days would be in vain.

Lily looked anxiously at Moore's complacent face. She was full of worry. "I followed your instructions. Will you return those pictures to me?"

She hated the idea of betraying Nicole, but she had been left with no choice. Her first priority at that moment was to protect herself.

Her voice registered faintly in his ears. In his exultant mood, Moore barely had any thoughts to spare for her. He raised his head and looked into her eyes, and then extended his hand and gently pinched her chin. "As long as you behave well, I won't let those photos be leaked to the public.

I still need you to do one more thing for me. You must be aware that Nicole is pregnant. I want you to think of a way to abort that child."

Moore decided to kill that baby before the Gu family became aware of Nicole's pregnancy. It would be a tremendous headache if Nicole had to be brought into the Gu family because of the child in her belly.

He had looked down upon Nicole in the past, but now he had to keep an eye on her. Even though she was still just a woman, Kerr had given her an important role to occupy on his behalf in the Gu Group.

Moore's demand made Lily's eyes nearly pop out of her head. She exclaimed in shock, "That's impossible!" Lily was intimidated by Moore's threat, but the baby in Nicole's belly was a human being.

Losing a child was the most horrible thing a mother could experience. Lily didn't dare to commit such an atrocious crime.

Moore stepped closer to Lily and said, "You have no choice. You must find the opportunity. Nicole trusts you very well, so you will surely find a chance. I trust you."

Then he turned around and walked out of Lily's sight.

After Moore left, Lily leaned against the door and slid down slowly to the floor, inch by inch. She buried her face in her hands.
