The boy in her dream wore a formal suit as he walked out of the manor. He was good-looking and
looked a little like Ben.
Nicole felt strange in those surroundings. She frowned and wanted to get close to the little girl. When
she stood in front of the girl and saw her face, the girl suddenly became Nicole.
In an instant, Nicole felt like she was looking at herself in the mirror. In shock, she asked, "Who are
you?" Nicole touched the little girl's shoulder and asked again. But the girl just smiled at her and said
nothing.
"Nicole? Nicole?" Kerr patted her shoulder gently and saw her eyebrows furrowed from the anxiety of
her dream.
When Nicole opened her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Kerr..." Her forehead was covered with a
thin layer of sweat.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Kerr wiped away the beads of sweat from her forehead. He wanted to
comfort her and dispel the fear from her nightmare.
"I dreamed of a little girl who looked exactly like me, and I also saw a little boy of six or seven years
old." Nicole briefly recounted her dream to Kerr, but she didn't tell him that the little boy looked like Ben.
She knew that Kerr was a jealous man, so she didn't want to annoy him.
When Kerr heard that, he smiled faintly. "I wonder if you dreamed of our unborn daughter. Naturally, our
daughter will look like you. Perhaps the seven-year-old boy was Jay?"
They had been talking about the gender of the baby in her belly in recent days, so it would be natural to
have such a dream. He decided that he shouldn't put so much pressure on her.
"Nicole, I'll love the child whether it's a boy or girl, just as long as it's ours. I'll cherish the child with all
my heart. So relax, don't be so nervous."
She wanted to shake her head, because she had seen the boy’s face so clearly and she was sure that
he wasn't Jay. But Nicole didn't want to tell Kerr, so she just nodded and kept quiet about her dream.
If she had a chance, she intended to ask Ben about it.
"Kerr, how long are we going to stay here?" Nicole felt strangely familiar with this place, and that feeling
made her have the urge to escape.
"It won't be long. We'll leave here the day after tomorrow." Kerr didn't want to stay there much longer
either. He was accustomed to being the one in charge, and it didn't feel good to be in another person's
sphere of influence.
Since he couldn’t start a business partnership with the Xue family, he didn't wish to force them.
"Let's leave here as soon as possible. I want to leave." Nicole held him, feeling quite relieved about the
prospect of going back.
Kerr nodded and packed up his belongings. Then he told Jared to get ready to leave.
When Jay heard the news that they were leaving, he sat at the table and said, "Mommy, are we really
leaving?" Callie was there, and there was something he hadn't found out yet.
He wanted to stay there longer if possible.
Nicole lifted up her hand and touched Jay's head. "Yes, because we have a lot of things to do. We don't
live here, so we have to leave. I know you don't want to leave Callie.
But saying goodbye is a part of life, Jay. Sometimes we need to say goodbye to others even though we
don’t want to be apart from them." Nicole comforted Jay. "When you grow up, maybe you and Callie will
meet again. You have to believe in fate."
She believed in fate. If it wasn't the will of heaven, how could she and Kerr have met again after seven
years of separation?
Jay nodded, "I see." Then he went back to his room, turned on his computer, and sent a message to
Callie.
In the Xue family’s villa
When Callie saw Jay’s message, she turned to Ben and said, "Dad, they're leaving."
Ben nodded indifferently. He was not surprised, but Lisa next to him smiled weakly. "Are they trying to
escape from us?" Lisa had been amazed that Kerr had turned her down so frankly.
She was high in spirits at that moment, but she wasn't prepared for Kerr to back out so soon.
"Don't go too far." Ben gave Lisa a word of warning.
"Don't you trust me? They're leaving, so it's natural for me to say goodbye." Then, Lisa put down the
book in her hand, rose to her feet and went outside.
Callie looked at Lisa from behind, with expectation in her eyes, but it vanished the next second.
"If you want to go, you can go with her." Ben noticed the change in Callie's expression, but Callie shook
her head.
In the hotel
While Kerr and his group were stepping out of the hotel, they saw a glamorous woman appear in front
of them again.
"Mr. Gu, what a coincidence. I just came here to grab a bite. I can’t believe that I bumped into you."
Lisa approached Kerr and glanced at Nicole beside him.
The provocation in Lisa's eyes was obvious.
But Nicole just smiled and let go of Kerr‘s arm. "Kerr, I'll wait for you in the car." She wanted Kerr to
deal with this woman by himself.
But when she was about to leave, Kerr held her back.
"I'll go with you." Kerr had no interest in wasting time on a strange woman. "I assume you must have
something else to do. We are leaving now," he said to Lisa indifferently.
He held Nicole‘s hand and headed to the door.
"Mr. Gu, are you such a cold man? We had a nice chat yesterday, didn't we?" Lisa stepped forward to
stop Kerr and looked at him sadly.
She looked so pitiful, as if Kerr had bullied her!
"Miss Xue, what are you talking about? Oh, I haven't introduced you to my wife yet. This is my wife,
Nicole Ning." He didn't mind if this woman knew about Nicole.
In fact, he wanted every woman to know that he had Nicole beside him.
Nicole nodded to Lisa with a smile. "Miss Xue, Mr. Ben Xue and Kerr have mentioned you before, and I
have seen your photo. But I have to say...
You are much more beautiful than I imagined." Nicole praised her sincerely.
Lisa looked at the peaceful face of Nicole. The happiness in her eyes was from the bottom of her heart.
"Mrs. Gu, you seem to be several months into your pregnancy already. Don't you worry that Mr. Gu will
cheat on you?
Isn't it said that the best time for a man to cheat on his wife is during her pregnancy?"
