Before Kerr could continue, Nicole berated Jay seriously, her words full of concern.
"Jay, I know you helped me a lot this time, but I still want to tell you that this was adult business, and I
don't want you to become involved in it, understand?
No matter what happens, I will never stop loving you. No matter what happens, I will find a solution.
You should believe Mommy."
Nicole knew that there was a difficult road ahead for her to build a future with Kerr, so she had mentally
prepared herself for it. She had to remind Jay that she didn't want him to do anything that would hurt
him in any way.
When he saw the worry in Nicole's face, Jay nodded solemnly and acted like a well behaved child. "I
know, Mommy."
"Don't worry so much. You should also learn to trust me."
Kerr raised his hand and stroked Nicole's head dotingly. "No matter what happened and whether Jay is
my child or not, it's all the same to me. Do you understand?"
He still remembered that as soon as he had seen Jay for the first time, he had suspected him to be his
son, but whenever he had found some clue to confirm this, Nicole would deny it, telling him that he was
mistaken.
When he thought of the lies that Nicole had told him, he sighed helplessly. He longed for Jay to be his
biological son, but he had already seen the results of the paternity test.
Hearing this, Nicole lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with him.
"It is you who believed those lies. It's none of my doing."
She would never admit to it. So she turned her head and gazed out of the window. It was dark outside,
but her heart was ablaze with hope. She felt warm inside when she thought that Kerr was willing to
accept her despite not knowing who Jay's father was.
Perhaps this was the best test she could have given Kerr. Fortunately, he had passed with flying colors.
Therefore, no matter how much they struggled in the future, she would not easily leave him.
"How dare you have lied in front of Jay? Aren't you afraid that he will foster bad habits because of
you?"
It never occurred to him that Nicole would have gone to such lengths to hide Jay's true identity.
However, despite the gauntlet he had to run, he finally got the end result he had always wanted.
"I won't. My mommy told me only to learn good things from her."
Jay took the initiative to chirp up before Nicole spoke.
"What are these 'good things?'"
Kerr feigned curiosity and looked at Jay who was cuddled up in his arms.
"To be beautiful and kind."
Jay looked at Nicole's profile with rapt admiration.
"Is that all that's good about me?"
On hearing what Jay had listed, Nicole looked at him in dissatisfaction.
She should have many good points. How could she only have two advantages?
Jay buried his head in Kerr's chest, thinking about the matter carefully. He looked like he had hit a
bump in the road and was facing a difficult conundrum. So he kept silent for a while.
"I am sure I didn't inherit my intelligence from my mommy. She once told me that I can't lie."
Jay rubbed his hands together and felt baffled.
"Great! I've been with you for such a long time, but you've already forgotten everything, right? I'll
arrange for someone to come take care of you from now on."
Nicole turned her head away, mocking him with a sad face.
"Mommy, I'm just kidding. In my heart, my mommy is the best. She's so great that I can't even find the
words to say how great she is. I'm my mommy's baby. No matter what happens, I'll never leave her."
Seeing the angry expression on Nicole's face, Jay struggled out of Kerr's arms and climbed onto her
lap. He rubbed her cheeks with his chubby hands and kissed her.
Wearing an ingratiating look on his face, his foolery soon amused Nicole.
Sitting next to them, Kerr stared at them with unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.
The car stopped at the gate of the Gu family's old house, and the laughter in the car also stopped.
Nicole looked up at the brightly lit old house outside the window, and a complex look formed in her
eyes.
"Jared, take Jay home first."
Not needing to ask, Kerr knew what would happen later. So he didn't want Jay to witness it.
When Nicole saw Kerr's face turn serious, she understood what he was up to. So she consoled Jay
patiently.
"Jay, I know that you want to stay with me, but it's too late, and you need to go to bed now. I promise
that no matter what happens, we three will never separate from each other again."
After hearing Nicole's promise, Jay nodded and let go of her hand, watching her get out of the car with
Kerr.
Standing at the door of the villa, Kerr held Nicole's hand tightly, and his face darkened.
"Don't worry. No matter what they say or how they object, I will never leave you."
Knowing the depth of Kerr's concerns, Nicole took the initiative and comforted him with gentle but firm
eyes.
Feeling the encouraging strength from her hand, Kerr nodded and led Nicole towards the villa.
Following Kerr's instructions, Jared had driven very slowly. So by the time they arrived, Freya, Jack and
Moore had already arrived at the house.
When they walked into the living room, only Freya was there. So, Kerr instantly guessed what would
happen.
"Kerr, your father has something to discuss with you about work. He is waiting for you in the study. Go
upstairs. Miss Ning can wait for you here."
When Freya saw Kerr and Nicole standing together in front of her, she immediately noticed their
clasped hands.
"We'll go together."
Obviously, Kerr didn't intend to let go of Nicole's hand. He clasped her hand tightly and led her to the
stairs, but she stopped at the bottom step. She held Kerr's hand but stood still.
"Kerr, you should go now. I'll wait for you here. I shouldn't be present when it comes to the Gu Group.
Don't worry. I won't run away. I'll just wait for you here, then Aunt Freya and I can have a chat."
She knew that Jack and Freya had wanted to separate them on purpose, and that they wanted to break
them up, targeting them one by one. But Nicole wanted them to see the united determination shared by
her and Kerr.
"Wait for me."
As he looked into Nicole's confident eyes, Kerr knew what she was going to do. He kissed her gently
on the forehead and released her hand, ascending the stairs leading up to the study.
Watching Kerr's broad shoulders disappear up the steps, Nicole turned around and looked at Freya
with a smile fixed on her lips.
