But when she turned around, the smile on Nicole's face gradually disappeared, and her eyes were
fixed on Jared, who had just walked in from the door.
"Jared, tell me the task I assigned you."
Hearing Nicole's words, Jared told her everything he had heard. Thinking of Kerr's current situation,
Jared was also worried about him.
Sitting on the sofa, Nicole looked up at the clock on the wall thoughtfully. It was already late at night.
"I see. Thank you, Jared. Go and have a rest." Then she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
She wanted to boil some water to cook noodles. She knew that Kerr barely ate, so she cooked a bowl
of noodles for Kerr. Looking at the boiling water in the pot, Nicole was lost in thought.
She also knew that Kerr's trouble was all because of his love for her.
With the tray in her hand, Nicole walked towards the study and gently pushed the door open. Then she
saw Kerr standing in front of the French window with his back towards her, and sensed that the air was
filled with a strong smell of tobacco.
Nicole walked in with light steps. As soon as she put the tray on the table, she saw Kerr turn around.
"You are still awake." Kerr sensed that someone was approaching, but he was so upset that he didn't
turn around immediately. He calmed down and didn't want to affect Nicole because of what he had in
mind.
Then he opened the window. Kerr didn't want her to be choked by the smoke.
Nicole smiled and walked to him. She caught a glimpse of the ashtray which was full of cigarette butts.
"Don't smoke too much. I know you haven't eaten much tonight, so I cooked a bowl of noodles for you."
Nicole held Kerr's hand and walked to the desk.
In the past, Kerr would never eat in the study, but with Nicole, everything became possible.
Although Kerr had no appetite, he sat down when he saw Nicole attentive look.
Sitting next to Kerr, Nicole reached out her hand and stroked his eyebrows. "Kerr, you don't have to
think too much. I don't want to see you in a dilemma.
You should go back to the Gu Group. Or, whatever you want to do for the Gu family, I will always stand
by your side and support you. You don't have to worry that I will be unhappy, really."
Nicole looked at Kerr seriously. Although the Gu family had done a lot of bad things to her, in her eyes,
as long as she was still with Kerr...
She was happy, she was satisfied. Other things were not important at all to her.
Hearing Nicole's words, the softest part of Kerr's heart seemed to be touched at once. The gentler and
more sensible Nicole was, the more reluctant Kerr was to let Nicole be wronged.
"I know you won't be unhappy, but since I have decided to leave the Gu Group and said that I won't get
involved in anything of the company, I must do what I said.
Nicole, I have promised you that I won't let you suffer any grievance by my side. Since I have said it, I
will definitely do it. No one can bully you except me, but I won't bully you."
Raising his hand, Kerr held Nicole's hand, with gratitude in his eyes. Although Nicole said she didn't
mind letting him go back to the Gu Group, he wouldn't give the Gu family any more chance.
As long as he compromised once, the Gu family would be insatiable. That was how it used to be. He
wouldn't make two mistakes on the same issue.
"But, Kerr, have you ever thought that in this way, Moore's scheme will succeed and the Gu Group will
be completely destroyed by him? Do you really have the heart to watch the Gu Group to be destroyed
step by step?
Anyway, this is the Gu family's business. Moore is always an outsider. Do you really want an outsider to
take away what belongs to the Gu family?"
Nicole patiently comforted Kerr. She knew that Kerr didn't want to go back to the Gu family because of
her, so he could only lead the topic to Moore.
After all, Kerr would never let go of Moore.
"Of course I know. Since Jack handed over the Gu Group to Moore, he has to bear such a
consequence. Not everyone can control and manage the Gu Group as I do.
And what Moore has done is under my control. Sooner or later, he will pay for what he has done."
Kerr wouldn't go back to the Gu Group, but that didn't mean he would let Moore go on like this. He had
been ready to wait until Moore personally ended the Gu Group, which was also the time when Moore
came to a dead end.
But Kerr didn't tell Nicole about it.
Looking at Kerr's confident look, Nicole couldn't help but feel curious. She hadn't been to the company
with him for a long time, and taking acre of Lucas occupied most of her time.
That made her less concerned about Kerr and Jay.
"You've already figured it out, haven't you? Tell me, what is it?"
The corners of Nicole's mouth rose slightly. The little devil in her heart was lurking. Moore had made
too many unforgivable mistakes in their previous life, so it was impossible for her not to blame Moore.
She couldn't be so generous. No one was a holy being.
"You'll know in the future. It's time to go to bed. It's almost dawn." Kerr put down his chopsticks and
took Nicole back to the bedroom.
Holding Nicole in his arms, Kerr felt at ease. Recently, because Jack's condition had changed, Kerr
was so flustered that he even ignored Nicole.
Kissing Nicole's hair and smelling the faint milk fragrance from her body, he gradually calmed down. In
fact, after he figured it out, he was not so worried.
Jack had always regarded the Gu Group as more important than his own life, so Jack would not let
anything unexpected happen to him before the Gu Group weather the crisis.
All the critical illness was just an excuse for Jack to let Kerr go back to the Gu Group.
Noticing that Kerr was smiling behind her, Nicole turned around and said to him, "Kerr, tell me, how on
earth do you want to punish Moore?"
