As a matter of fact, Kelvin's appearance was a threat to Nicole.
"Harley, I have some business out tomorrow, so you have to keep an eye on Jay and keep him safe,"
Kerr said. Deep inside, he felt worried and restless the moment he knew that Kelvin was targeting Jay
as well.
"Ah, one more thing, don't let Nicole know about any of this. She's pregnant, so we can't worry her too
much," he added to Harley with a serious face.
Although he was worried about Nicole and Jay and wanted to be with them all the time to protect them
himself, Kerr still had an important meeting with Ben Xue that was already arranged in advance, so he
could not just put it off that easy. He then had no choice but to rely on Harley at these pressing times.
"Don't worry. I got this. I know what to do," Harley replied and gave Kerr a reassuring nod. He also
guessed why Kerr came here, so he asked to confirm, "Have you decided to cooperate with the Xue
family? Are you prepared?"
Kerr sighed and shook his head slightly. "Well, I have no choice but to give it a shot. I'm no longer in
the Gu Group now, so I don't have to work my ass off for them. However, the Ning Group is still not
powerful enough to take on such a big project, so we'll see."
He heaved another sigh as he thought about all this with a clear mind. Then, he thought of Zachary.
Tomorrow was supposed to be the scheduled date of Zachary and Avery's wedding, but there was still
no news about his wedding up to now.
"What about Zachary? Is there any news about him now?" Kerr asked Harley calmly.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, but I received the news this morning that Zachary had canceled
the wedding and left A City. That's all to find out about him as of the moment," Harley replied. When he
got the news earlier that day, Harley was very surprised. He thought that Zachary would be determined
to marry Avery.
Moreover, the news had spread all over the city now, so whether or not Avery had been told personally
by Zachary, she would have already known by now.
As for Kerr, hearing this wasn't surprising for him at all. Although he didn't know the exact reason
behind the calling off of the wedding, he realized that Zachary was still hesitant and decided to back out
despite the blunt advice Kerr had been giving him.
Anyway, what Zachary decided to do wasn't for Kerr to intervene into, and now that Zachary was away,
Kerr knew he had to rely on himself on this project for now.
"What about Moore? Have you heard anything about him and what he plans to do now?" Kerr asked.
Even though he knew that Jay had already taken action, he still wasn't sure how Moore would react.
"As far as I have heard, he's doing fine. Ever since he took your place, he is slowly trying to eliminate
all your remaining power in the Gu Group.
However, it looks like he will be having a difficult time doing so. Your men in the company can't be
easily fooled by Moore," Harley replied with a smile.
For the past several years, Kerr was the one in charge and heading over the Gu Group. On the other
hand, Moore had been staying abroad. Now, Moore had finally gotten what he desired and took the
place of Kerr in the company, but he was not persuasive at all against the men who used to work for
Kerr.
Hearing this, Kerr sneered as if he already expected this to happen. "Did he really think that he can
replace me? When in fact, he doesn't deserve to step foot in the Gu Group in the first place." Although
Kerr was itching to take actions against Moore, he knew better that this wasn't the right time yet. Not
now when Jack saw Kerr as the antagonist.
Besides, Kerr wanted Jack to see for himself that Moore was nothing but an ambitious and vicious
man, who would do anything to get what he wanted. At the same time, he wanted Jack to realize that
Moore did not have the ability it took to run a company.
With a nod, Harley agreed to what Kerr said, and indeed, there was really no one in the world who
could replace Kerr.
Harley relaxed and heaved a deep sigh under his breath. "Well, it seems like we still have a long way to
go then."
He remarked and stood up to stretch his body.
Kerr took this as his sign to leave and walked towards the study of the suite. He smiled as soon as he
saw his loved ones and felt all his exhaustion fade away. He walked towards Jay, who was staring at a
design drawing of a robot on the desk. He picked up the drawing and looked at it. He nodded at how
detailed the design was.
As a well-rounded man that he was, he could see the beauty and even the tiny mistakes clearly at a
glance.
"Oh, you made a mistake in this place. You should not put them together in this way, because it won't
work and look right," Kerr commented. He then put the drawing in front of Jay and pointed out the
mistake he was referring to.
Listening to Kerr, Jay raised his head so he could see clearly and looked at Kerr seriously with an
innocent face. As Kerr mentioned the mistake, Jay's eyebrows turned into a frown, and his eyes stared
from Kerr's fingers to the area in the paper.
Seeing the mistake, his eyes lit up suddenly in delight. He had been trying to find out what was wrong
with his work the whole time, and Kerr had just pointed it out exactly the part that he could not figure
out. Jay felt excited that he could already get it done.
When Kerr picked up the pencil on the table and was about to make some adjustments, Jay stopped
him and said, "Don't touch it. I already understand the mistake, so I will correct it myself."
Jay then took the pencil from Kerr's hand and started to work on the drawing.
Meanwhile, Nicole gave both of them a glance and smiled faintly. "He said he wants to make it by
himself," she told Kerr. Nicole smiled and knew that it was his present for that little girl.
Kerr shrugged and didn't mind letting the child do the work. He walked to Nicole, who was busy
knitting, and sat down beside her. "Is this for our daughter?" he asked as he picked up the dress that
Nicole had just made. But obviously, she was not skilled at making clothes.
As a matter of fact, she had simply tied these pieces of cloth together.
Nicole laughed at Kerr's question and said, "If my daughter knew that I would make her wear this
dress, then she would surely hate me for it." She then raised the dress and looked at it with disdain.
She lowered it down on the table and sighed. She really wanted to show her sincerity, so she had no
choice but to keep trying and making until she finally got it done properly. Moreover, she was also not
sure if Callie would like it. It might had been just a personal preference.
Kerr picked up the dress Nicole placed on the table and said, "Well, it's not that bad." He still praised
her despite some yarns sticking out. In his eyes, everything about her was beautiful and wonderful.
Upon hearing what Kerr said, Nicole looked at him and frowned slightly. "Is it any good though? You're
lying!" Even though she said that, Nicole still felt touched in her heart.
After all, every girl dreamed to have such a sweet lover. The world was vast and big, but only when you
met the person you truly cherished and would cherish you back would make the world very small.
Kerr chuckled and replied, "Well, if you love someone, sometimes you have to say white lies to make
them feel better and gain even more confidence on themselves."
Nicole replied with a smile and found it very sweet.
Their conversation was interrupted when Jay walked to Kerr and showed him his drawing. "Did I do it
right?" Jay looked at Kerr seriously as if trying to test him, but he was still very modest as he did so.
However, Kerr ignored him and kept his eyes admiring Nicole and her dress.
Nicole looked at Jay and then at Kerr. She knew that Kerr was doing this on purpose, so she nudged
him gently.
She knew that Jay had been against Kerr on purpose before, but Jay was still a child, and Kerr was the
adult, so Kerr should know better and be the bigger person.
"Am I doing this place right?" Getting ignored, Jay opened his mouth again and frowned at Kerr. There
was impatience slowly showing on Jay's face.
Not wanting Nicole to get annoyed at him, Kerr finally turned his head and looked at the drawing with a
haughty look on his face. He glanced at the part where Jay had just modified. "You should turn it
slightly to the right about half a centimeter," Kerr recommended.
He could tell Jay's mistakes by just a glance.
With his forehead creased even more into a frown, Jay had honestly considered that factor but did not
dare try, because he did not know what to do and was a little hesitant for he might mess the whole
piece.
Realizing that Jay was hesitant to do what he suggested, Kerr then stood up and walked to the desk.
He picked up the right tools and parts and began to do what he had suggested at Jay, making him see
what he was trying to tell the child.
This time, Jay followed Kerr with a serious face and did not stop Kerr from making modifications on his
work.
Nicole smiled at the two of them and felt at ease. She then glanced at the clock on the wall and
realized that it was getting late now. Then, she suddenly remembered something. Without disturbing
her two boys, she organized her knitting materials in a box and walked towards the bedroom.
With the phone in her hand, she rested her back on the bed and dialed Avery's number.
It didn't take three rings until the call was picked up. Before Nicole could speak, Avery
spoke.
