If possible, he didn't want Nicole to think of those unpleasant things.
"Let me think about it." Nicole didn't want to face it, but she knew she couldn't escape.
Leaning against Kerr's chest, Nicole felt relaxed, but those words had been lingering in her mind, like a
magic spell.
At night, lying beside Kerr, Nicole didn't sleep well at all.
In her sleep, a grand wedding ceremony appeared. Looking at the petals scattered all over the sky in
front of her, with a garland on her head, Nicole was like a fairy coming out of the story book.
With a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand, trying to catch the petal.
"I don't allow you to marry him!" A harsh voice rang in Nicole's ear, which frightened her to withdraw her
hand.
She turned around and tried to find the voice source, but there was no one around her.
And Kerr was nowhere to be found, which made her scared.
"Kerr!" Nicole called Kerr by instinct.
But she couldn't find Kerr. Nicole lifted her hemline in panic.
"Nicole!" Noticing that there was something wrong with Nicole, Kerr held her in his arms and turned on
the dim wall lamp at the bedside. He frowned and looked at the cold sweat on her forehead.
"Don't be afraid. It's just a dream." Kerr's gentle voice comforted Nicole's uneasiness.
Hearing the voice, Nicole suddenly opened her eyes and looked into Kerr's doting eyes. She felt a little
relieved, reached out her hand and hugged him.
"Kerr, don't leave me!" There was obvious grievance in her voice.
Looking at the tears on her face, Kerr clearly felt his heartache.
He held her tightly in his arms. "Don't be afraid. It's just a nightmare. No one can make me leave you."
Kerr comforted Nicole softly.
His big palm gently patted on her back.
Hearing Kerr's gentle voice, Nicole gradually calmed down.
She sniffed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "You have promised me. Don't leave me."
Nicole had never been so fragile before.
But as long as she looked into Kerr's eyes, she inexplicably felt at ease.
"I won't leave you, honey. Tell me, what did you dream of? Who bullied you in your dream?"
Looking at the aggrieved look on Nicole's face, Kerr gently kissed her eyes, as if he wanted to dry her
tears.
He didn't want Nicole to suffer anymore.
Nicole shook her head, "It's just a dream. Don't worry. I'm fine." Nicole smiled at Kerr and hugged him
tightly.
Lying in his arms, Nicole felt relieved.
Soon she fell asleep.
In the morning, when Nicole woke up, she didn't see Kerr. After getting up and asking Vedder, she
knew that Kerr had gone to the company.
Nicole was still wondering why Kerr didn't take her to the company when he heard the sound from the
door of the villa.
"As the daughter-in-law of Gu family, how could you be so impolite?"
Freya swaggered in with Cherry followed behind her and stared at Nicole with obvious displeasure on
her face.
Hearing Freya's words, the corners of Nicole's mouth rose slightly. She seemed to have known Freya's
purpose. It was already very difficult for Freya and Jack to allow her to enter the Gu family.
Therefore, she knew that Freya would not let her go so easily.
"Mrs. Freya? What brings you here?" Nicole walked to the living room and sat on the sofa.
She glanced at Freya indifferently without any surprise.
"Mrs. Freya? Nicole, haven't you married Kerr? Why don't you change the way you call me? Do you
think it's that easy to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family?"
Looking at Nicole's calm face, Freya was very unhappy. She knew that Nicole was not easy to deal
with, or Kerr wouldn't be manipulated by her so easily.
But since Freya had allowed Nicole to stay with Kerr, she had to teach Nicole the rules of Gu family.
Otherwise, Gu family could not tolerate her.
"Change the way I call you? I'm so sorry! I don't know how to call you. Aunt Freya? Or mother?" There
was obvious irony in Nicole's tone. "I know Mrs. Freya always thinks that your son is way out of my
league and I didn't deserve to be his wife.
I don't want to rely on the Gu family, so I don't want Mrs. Freya to misunderstand me. Moreover, I know
that Mrs. Freya is not willing to let Kerr marry me."
What Nicole said was true. Even though she had been with Kerr for so long, she had never been
accepted by the Gu family. She didn't think that Freya came here to change her attitude towards her.
Freya walked to the opposite of Nicole and sat down.
"Whether I accept you or not, you should respect me. Since you have chosen to be with Kerr and
become the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, you should abide by the rules of the Gu family."
Glancing at Cherry beside her, Freya gave her a look.
Cherry nodded and stepped forward. She took out a folder from her bag and read it to Nicole.
"Miss, oh, no, Mrs. Nicole, please remember.
First of all, as the daughter-in-law of Gu family, you should get up early every morning to propose tea to
your parents-in-law.
The second..."
Nicole raised her hand, motioning for Cherry to stop. Then she looked at Freya with a smile, "Mrs.
Freya, I don't know there is such a rule in the Gu family. It's not the feudal era now.
These are old-fashion ideas. Since I choose to be with Kerr, I will respect him and be loyal to him.
As for other rules, I'm sorry. I really can't agree."
Nicole just felt that it was ridiculous when her to hear this. She had never thought that such a thing
would really happen in real life.
Jay came out of his room and heard Nicole's voice at the stairs. He felt strange for a
moment.
