The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 203

It was a peaceful moment. Nicole smiled in contentment as she looked at Jay, who was reading a book quietly not far away.

"Jay's reading a book right now, and I’m with him. Aren't you busy?"

Jay was happily immersed in his book, so she didn't want to disturb him. She stood up and was about to leave the study with her mobile phone in her hand, but Jay stopped her before she could take another step.

Jay knew that Kerr was the person on the other end of the line, so he'd been paying attention to her since she answered the phone.

"Mommy, it's already eleven o'clock now. That's the time when a pregnant woman should take some vitamins. Let's go and eat some fruit together. You should avoid the cell phone radiation. It's not good for the baby. Come on, Mommy, don't talk to him anymore."

Jay spoke loudly on purpose, hoping that the old man on the other end of the phone would hang up quickly.

When Kerr heard Jay's voice, he understood right away that the little boy was deliberately making trouble. He was thrown off-guard, but he went straight to the point. "I have a dinner party tonight. I might come home a little late.

I'll pick you up in the evening so that you can come with me."

Kerr wanted her to accompany him to the party. He was proud of his beautiful wife.

Nicole was about to agree, but suddenly Jay interrupted them.

"Mommy has my little sister inside of her now and she's really tired. Going to parties isn't good for her right now." Jay and Kerr could hear each other's voices clearly.

"Don't you have any common sense? Humph, is that the way you protect my mommy?" Jay added, making a face at the phone.

Kerr's face darkened with annoyance at Jay's fussy provocation. Of course he knew that Nicole should take it easy. But he just wanted to be with his wife.

He wouldn't make anything difficult for Nicole as long as she was by his side. To hear a child lecturing him made him feel really helpless. It was quite a challenge to deal with this little fellow.

"Never mind. You can stay with him this evening. But you have to let him go to bed by himself tonight. I'll go there by myself. There will be a surprise in the afternoon."

Kerr was pretty sure that Nicole would listen to Jay, so he made this compromise to spare her feelings.

"Okay. Come back early, dear. Don't drink too much wine." Nicole smiled as she imagined the helpless look on Kerr's face at that moment. It occurred to her that her son was the only person in the world who could make Kerr look like that.

Jay was about to raise a loud objection once more. But when he saw Nicole hanging up the phone, his big eyes opened wide and he looked at his mother pathetically.

"Mommy, you want me to sleep alone?"

He didn't want Kerr to be the only one to take care of Nicole.

Nicole took his hand and went downstairs with him, smiling sweetly.

"I'm sorry to make you sleep alone, but you're a big boy already and you need to learn to go to bed by yourself. Do you understand? Otherwise, people will think you're still just a baby.

You want to grow up and protect me, right? If you want to be a man, you must learn to sleep in the darkness alone first."

In fact, she really did believe this was for Jay's own good. After all, he was growing up and it was important for him to become gradually more independent.

"Yes, I’m a real man, so I will protect you, Mommy."

Jay promised his mother, but he was still trying to think of a way to separate her from Kerr.
