Kerr would never allow danger to reach Nicole. When Lily told them that she wanted to leave, she
seemed very determined. That was why Kerr's suspicions were raised.
In recent days they had been away from the Gu Group, but Lily had remained during their absence.
That meant that Lily had spent a lot of time with Moore. Who could be sure what influence Moore
wielded over Lily? People could change in unpredictable ways, after all.
So Kerr always had to be on high alert.
Lily lowered her head. "I didn't want to give up my job here, which I worked so hard for, so I chose to
stay. I was disappointed to find that you had already gone away when I returned to the company.
But I knew that the Gu Group is important to you, so I chose to stay here because I was confident that
you would eventually come back." Lily tried her best to sound convincing in front of Kerr.
Lily knew that she was a terrible liar, but she had no other choice. She avoided Kerr‘s eyes as she told
him that story.
"Has Moore bothered you since you came back here?" Kerr knew perfectly well what kind of
determined and ambitious man Moore was.
Lily shook her head. "Moore has been completely focused on building up his position in the company,
so he never paid any attention to me. What's more, I've got what I wanted from him.
We are over. He has no reason to make trouble for me." In her heart, how Lily wished that it was true.
Kerr looked at Jared and nodded. Then Jared went up to Lily, gave her the gift box and a car key, and
said, "Drive my car and take this to the villa."
Lily nodded to Jared, carefully avoiding Kerr's eyes. She turned around and was about to leave the
office when she heard Kerr's voice again. "I hope you will live up to Nicole's trust,"
Kerr reminded Lily.
Since he knew that Nicole regarded Lily as her close friend, he wanted to give Lily a chance. What was
more, if it weren't for Lily's goodwill, he might have lost his child with Nicole before their wedding.
But he still suspected that Lily would be compromised by Moore once again.
Lily paused and nodded her head.
He looked at Lily as she walked away and ordered grimly, "Tell Kim to follow her. Inform me
immediately if something goes wrong." Kerr truly hoped that he was just overthinking it.
Not long afterward, when Kerr carried Nicole in his arms, he felt so lucky that he had made the right
decision at that time.
With tears running down her face, Lily drove Jared's car and headed to Kerr's villa. She knew that even
Nicole wouldn't be able to help her. She could only rely on herself.
She felt sincerely sorry for Nicole and regretful about what she was doing.
When the car stopped at the gate of the villa, the gate opened for her automatically. Lily parked the car
and walked into the villa.
"Hi, Nicole." Nicole was sitting on the sofa with a book in her hands. Lily was surprised to see the bulge
on her belly.
"Lily, what are you doing here?" Nicole wanted to stand up, but her body was so heavy that it took her a
few seconds to get to her feet.
Lily went quickly to Nicole and held her. They sat down on the sofa and Lily asked, "Your baby is about
to be born, isn't it?" Lily was a bit envious of Nicole as she put her hand to Nicole‘s belly.
"Yes, it is. What's up? Why have you come here?" Nicole was alone at home, so she felt a little bored
in the big and empty villa. Even Jay was outside with Harley. So, it was nice to see her old friend here.
Lily passed the gift box to Nicole. "It's Mr. Gu who asked me to bring it here. Nicole, Mr. Gu is really a
good man, isn't he?" Lily sometimes had mixed feelings when she saw the joy on Nicole's face.
Why did Nicole always have everything? But this sentiment only flashed through her mind for a split
second. After all, Lily had seen with her own eyes much of the suffering Nicole had been through to get
what she had now.
Nicole accepted the box graciously and opened it. It was a crystal bracelet with a floral embellishment.
It resembled the flowers they saw in the field outside the forest during their honeymoon, fresh and
beautiful.
But she felt a little strange. "I'm already a mother of two children, but Kerr still gives me this kind of
present as if I were still a little girl." Nonetheless, she still had a sweet feeling in her heart.
Lily smiled and said, "It means that Mr. Gu thinks about you all the time."
Nicole put the bracelet aside. "How are you doing? Is everything going well for you in the Gu Group? I
don't think it's a good idea for me to work in the Ning Group now. Kerr's taking over that company by
himself."
With such numerous burdens, she knew that Kerr had been tired and overworked in recent days.
"Oh, I'm fine. By the way, Nicole, do you want to go out and take a walk? I want to buy a gift for my
mother, and you have great taste. Can you help me choose?"
Lily looked at her watch. Time was running out.
"Me?" Nicole wasn't very eager to go outside. After all, it wasn't easy in her condition, and she always
felt nervous without Kerr around.
But Nicole found it hard to refuse Lily's invitation. "All right. But we should come back early. Kerr is very
concerned about me."
Then Lily helped Nicole stand up and walked with her to the door.
Seeing Nicole leaving the villa, Vedder couldn't help but intervene. "My Lady, Master has said that
you'd better not go outside. It won't be long before the baby is born."
He was afraid that Kerr would be angry when he heard about it.
Nicole wore a faint smile. "I'm just going to the mall. Never mind. I'll be back soon." Nicole knew what
Vedder was worried about, but she was also in the mood for a bit of fresh air outside.
Lily was worried. "I'll bring Nicole back in about an hour. I promise she'll be fine," Lily promised.
But she knew that after going outside together this time, neither of them would return to that house
again.
Before Vedder could stop them, Nicole and Lily got into the car together. But just as he was about to
despair, he noticed Kim‘s car nearby, and he felt relieved.
Sitting in the car, Nicole decided to call Kerr so that he wouldn't be worried about her.
She dialed Kerr's number, but before she could speak, her phone went off. She was a little
disappointed. When she was at home, she seldom used her phone.
So she had forgotten to charge her phone.
