Although Nicole had a smile on her face, she had made up her mind to teach Kerr a lesson when she
went back.
How dare he not answer her call at a time like that? If she was really in danger, then Kerr would miss
his chance to rescue her.
"Well, if you need, I can help you at any time," Ben said sincerely and generously.
Seeing how generous and honest Ben was, Nicole felt a little embarrassed, and a blush came over her
face.
"Thank you, Mr. Xue. Where is the lady of the house?" Nicole glanced around the whole villa, but didn't
see the hostess anywhere.
Ben's eyes darkened. "My wife passed away a long time ago. You won't have the chance to meet her,
unfortunately."
Nicole was surprised. "I'm so sorry." She hadn't imagined that Ben was actually bringing up his
daughter by himself.
"Mr. Xue, have you been taking care of Callie by yourself all these years?" Nicole changed the topic to
the children.
Ben looked at Callie and Jay who were sitting on the carpet nearby. The kids were both very happy and
full of smiles.
"Yes, Callie was an autistic child before, so she has made very few friends. If possible, I would be
delighted if you and Jay could come here more often.
I can assure you that Callie loves you very much." Ben looked at Callie with loving eyes.
Nicole nodded. "Jay is not an ordinary child either. I hope he can be a good friend for Callie."
Ben looked at her with a smile.
At the same moment, Kerr was sitting in a restaurant and glancing at his watch. It had been ten
minutes already since the appointed time. He hated people with no sense of punctuality.
Jared was standing beside Kerr and noticed the displeasure in Kerr‘s eyes. He took out his phone and
was about to place a call, but he saw a woman in a bright red dress coming towards them not far away.
The whole restaurant was booked by the Xue family and Kerr was the only other person with an
invitation. Therefore, Jared was sure that this woman was from the Xue family.
As expected, the woman came and sat down directly opposite Kerr. Taking off her sunglasses, the
woman smiled at Kerr and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Kerr Gu?"
The woman was wearing bright red lipstick and a red dress, which made her look remarkably sexy and
enchanting. With the confidence in her eyes, she had some similarity to Nicole.
Kerr responded with a slight nod, and said, "I guess that you are a member of the Xue family. Do you
know when Mr. Xue will be here?"
His patience was limited, so he didn't want to waste his time waiting for someone. If Ben wasn't
interested in this business proposal, Kerr wouldn't insist.
The woman smiled faintly and extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Gu. I'm Lisa Xue, Ben's younger sister. I
know everything about you and my brother.
My brother has delegated this matter to me. Mr. Gu, whatever you wish to say, you can tell me directly."
Lisa Xue was elegant and frank. She didn’t betray an ounce of fear in front of Kerr.
From the moment when Lisa Xue appeared, Kerr‘s face became icy and unfriendly. He had no wish to
shake her hand.
Kerr was doubtful about her words. "Thank you, Miss Xue. So, you must know what Mr. Xue is going to
do next.
I'm looking forward to his answer."
Although Kerr was being polite, his tone was indifferent.
But Lisa Xue wasn't the least bit embarrassed. She brought her hand back, picked up the tea cup in
front of Kerr and took a sip. "I'm a little thirsty. Mr. Gu, I hope you don't mind it."
Kerr looked at her and frowned, but he didn't stop her and said, "That’s fine." Jared was standing
beside him, and Kerr gave him a look.
Understanding the message at once, Jared turned around, got a new tea cup for Kerr and put it in front
of him.
Lisa Xue smiled faintly, "Mr. Gu, do you think I’m not clean?" She leaned forward, showing him her
alluring figure.
Kerr turned his head away. "Please behave yourself, Miss Xue. I'm married and I have my own child."
Kerr spoke firmly.
As he already had Nicole, he was determined never to be with other women. That was his commitment
to Nicole, and it was also his basic duty as her husband.
Lisa Xue smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, is this a warning?" She put down the teacup.
"Don't you believe in love at first sight, Mr. Gu? I didn't believe it before I met you. But after seeing you,
I believe in the magic of fate."
She made her interest in Kerr very obvious, looking at him flirtatiously.
As he stood beside Kerr, Jared was stunned. He never guessed that Lisa Xue would be so shameless
as to make a move on Kerr.
With a faint smile on his face, Kerr replied, "Of course I believe in falling in love at first sight." Then, he
stood up and continued, "My wife and I fell in love with each other at first sight. We love each other and
we are happily married."
Turning around, Kerr didn't look at Lisa Xue. "Miss Xue, please tell Mr. Xue that I appreciate his
kindness. There will be no need for us to discuss business any further."
With that said, he was about to leave, but she grabbed his wrist before he could take one step forward.
Lisa stood in front of Kerr and blocked his way. "I didn't imagine that the famous Mr. Kerr Gu would be
so afraid of his wife.
I've always been open-minded since I was a child, so what I care about is the pleasure of the moment.
Life is short, and we should enjoy ourselves.
So, Mr. Gu, would you like to have some fun with me? Our relationship will be simple and pure. I don't
need you to be responsible for me, and you can keep your wife. It's a fair deal, isn’t it?"
Lisa raised her hand and held the collar of Kerr's suit, winking at him.
Kerr gripped her wrist tightly and in a fierce voice, said, "If you were not a woman, I might have killed
you already."
