Because so many things had been happening recently, Nicole did not have time to care for Jay. Ever
since the Gu family noticed Jay's existence, he had not been to school, and it had already been a long
time since then.
"I'll arrange for a teacher to come to our home and teach him. His teacher will be here tomorrow."
Having already thought about it beforehand, Kerr looked at Nicole in an ingratiating way.
However, to his surprise, Nicole didn't even spare him a glance. She just put all her attention on Jay
eating dinner.
Noticing the upset look on Kerr's face, a smug smile appeared on Jay's face. He immediately realized
that his father was being snubbed. "Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?" he asked.
As a matter of fact, Jay was not afraid of sleeping alone. He just didn't want Kerr to have Nicole all to
himself.
"No way! You are not a little baby. This is the last time I'm warning you. You have to learn to sleep on
your own from now on," Kerr warned Jay with a sullen face.
Kerr knew exactly what Jay was up to. He could tolerate this behavior once or twice, but he would
never let him get away with it this time. Since Nicole was already with him,
he had decided to treat Jay as his own child. But even though he loved this child very much, he would
never indulge him.
Jay didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he just fixed his eyes on Nicole.
"Jay, don't meddle in matters between adults. What is it that you promised me yesterday?" Although
Nicole was angry with Kerr, she had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what he had said to
educate Jay.
"Okay, Mommy. I'm a man. I will always abide by my words. I won't say one thing and mean another. I
won't break my promises." There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind Jay's words, and he flashed
Kerr a meaningful look.
Although Jay had no idea what happened, he could tell from Nicole's face that Kerr must have done
something to offend her, or else she wouldn't act like that.
After dinner, Nicole turned around and walked towards her bedroom. Kerr followed her a little
helplessly. He didn't expect her to be so angry that she would refuse to talk to him at all.
He reached out and grabbed her wrist. Then, he pulled her into an embrace and said, "Well, don't be
angry anymore. Are you just going to ignore me like this forever?"
Kerr knew that Nicole was still mad at him and that she was still thinking about what Sunny said, so he
continued, "Avery and Zachary were also there yesterday. If I really did something with Sunny, they
would have stopped me.
Don't think too much about it anymore, okay?" Kerr consoled Nicole with his soft voice.
But his words didn't alleviate Nicole's anger. She tried to push Kerr away but she failed, and a cunning
look flickered in her eyes.
"Can you swear to me that nothing happened between you and her?" As a matter of fact, she actually
believed him, but she wanted to confirm it anyway.
Now that Kerr had explained everything to her, she believed everything he said. However, looking back
at the firm look on Sunny's face earlier, it didn't seem to her that Sunny was lying.
"But why was Sunny so confident about what happened?" she added.
Kerr released Nicole from his embrace and held her face in his hands. "Why did she feel so sure? I
have no idea. All I know is that you're the one I love. As for other people, they have nothing to do with
me."
It seemed like he was confessing his love to her non-stop.
"Fine. I'll let you off the hook this time. I want to drink some water. Go get me a glass of water, then I'll
forgive you,"
she ordered him.
Without hesitation, Kerr patted Nicole's head and went downstairs. But when he let go of Nicole, he
immediately had a feeling that something was wrong.
The moment he let go of her, she turned around and went inside the bedroom to hide. Then, she
slammed the door and locked it, thereby succeeding in locking Kerr out.
"Nicole, open the door. Do you want me to sleep in the corridor tonight?" Kerr knocked on the door
gently. In hindsight, he could use a spare key to open the door, but if he broke into the room like that,
Nicole would not be happy.
Upon hearing Kerr's voice, Nicole smirked. "I won't let you off the hook until you find out who was with
Sunny."
She did not know why she was being so hard on Kerr. Perhaps it was because of the unborn baby in
her womb.
Kerr, who was standing outside of the door, shook his head to himself helplessly. He turned around and
saw Jay who was standing behind him and watching the commotion with a gloating look on his face.
"I didn't expect you to have such a miserable day."
Jay stared at Kerr without any intention of leaving.
Seeing that Kerr had been driven out by Nicole, Jay couldn't help but feel complacent. He had finally
had his revenge.
"Then, you are not allowed to go inside either," Kerr replied.
He turned around to look for the spare key, not noticing the smug look on the little boy's face. Once
Kerr had left, Jay leaned closer to the door stealthily and said, "Mommy, I've hidden all the keys. You
just need to keep the door locked."
He would always help Nicole any time she needed him.
Especially when it came to fights against Kerr. Even if she didn't ask for help, Jay would always help
her.
"Good boy!" Nicole praised him through the door before walking into the bathroom and taking a shower.
Once she was done, she went to the bed to sleep without paying attention to the voice coming from the
other side of the door.
"Nicole... Can you open the door? Do you really want to see me sleep on the floor in the corridor?"
There was a clear hint of sadness in his tone, which was meant to invite some sympathy from Nicole
but she did not make any kind of response at all. So, he took out his mobile phone and called her.
Meanwhile, as she lay on the bed, Nicole browsed through the documents she had brought back from
the Gu Group. She wanted to know everything happened to the Ning Group seven years ago, but now
she couldn't help but regret thinking that everything that happened back then was an accident.
She had missed the best time to investigate.
After hearing Kerr's voice constantly for a while, Nicole was slightly taken aback when it suddenly
became quiet outside the door. She frowned, not knowing what idea he had come up with outside.
Soon, the phone beside the pillow rang.
She looked at the phone number on the screen and shook her head helplessly. Then, she pressed the
answer button and put the call on loud speaker. "Mr. Gu, it's getting late. My baby said she's going to
sleep."
