The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 204

"Haven't we reached an agreement, Jay? You need to sleep alone tonight,"

Nicole gently reminded Jay as her parenting style did not include compromise. Although she openly doted on him, she still refused to indulge him.

"This is the last night, I promise,"

Jay softly replied while cleverly putting on his innocent look. He played this trump card of his very well that no one had the heart to decline what he wanted.

Seeing the way how Jay looked, Nicole couldn't bear to reject him. So she finally gave in after pausing briefly. "You must keep your words!" Nicole could only agree and made room for him. She looked helpless.

Jay inwardly squealed in glee but nodded with a serious expression on his little face. And still, with a happy heart, he hurriedly walked towards the bed.

In the banquet hall,

Kerr instantly became the focus of the crowd the moment he showed up. Though he was only wearing a black suit, a dark purple shirt, and a tie of the same color, which Nicole picked for him, he looked quite striking.

He was used to keeping a low profile, but even then, his fame and status still attracted lots of people's attention as soon as he stepped into the room.

While his face remained impassive, Kerr went straight to the sofa and settled himself down. Crossing his legs, he seemed like he was waiting for someone.

Avery was stunned as she observed that Kerr was alone. She hastily made her way to where he was, but Jared quickly stopped her.

"Where is Nicole? Didn't Nicole come?" Avery asked anxiously. She was part of the Lin Group, the host of the party.

Hearing Avery‘s voice, Kerr undoubtedly recognized her. He swiftly glanced at Jared, hinting him that there was no need to stop her. He then shifted his gaze at Avery, acknowledging her, "Miss Lin, Nicole is pregnant. She stays at home to rest. If you are free, you can drop by to see her."

Kerr remembered that Nicole valued Avery dearly, so her presence would mean anything to Nicole and could make her more than happy. With this thought in mind, he would do anything to make Nicole live in pure bliss.

After hearing what Kerr said, Avery nodded slightly and felt better. Then she countered with a smile, "Speaking of which, I contributed to your relationship with Nicole. Now that you have won her heart, you must invite me to dinner, right?"

She vividly recalled how Kerr patiently waited for Nicole in front of her house. She was the one who had persuaded Nicole, giving her all the courage she needed to step forward.

That was why Avery felt she deserved this credit.

With a slight amusement in his eyes, Kerr casually stood up as he reached out his hand and took a glass of wine. He then raised the glass in front of Avery before gulping it all in one go. "Of course.

I need to express my gratitude for you when I get married to Nicole,"

Kerr replied. He didn't forget that when he had quarreled with Nicole, it was Avery who took care of her by her side. That was why he was so grateful and polite to her.

Thinking that her best friend would get to marry him, Avery let out a warm smile at Kerr. She gladly picked up the glass of champagne in her hand and was about to drink it all in one gulp. However, before it could touch her lips, the glass was forcibly taken away by someone who appeared suddenly beside her.

Zachary, who was observing her, made his way towards her direction and reached out in time to take the champagne glass from Avery‘s hand and took a swig of it. Then he put his arm possessively around her waist, forcing her to come close to him.

With a serious expression, Zachary turned to look at Avery and said calmly, "Who allows you to drink with other men?"

Zachary was known for being a gentleman, so Avery didn’t expect that he would act so bossy at the moment. Unable to hide her shock, she glared at him as if Zachary was a total stranger to her. Sooner than expected, her astonishment turned into dissatisfaction.

For her, it was so uncomfortable to be controlled by the man she didn’t love.
