Chapter 58 The End Of An Issue
"What's on your mind?"
On the way to Nicole's apartment, Kerr found her deep in thought and decided to break her away from it.
"Not much. I'm just relieved that Bonnie has finally forgiven me. Thank you for what you did for me last night. I know why you urged me to go there. I really appreciate it. At least, I know that she's safe. My worries about my sister are put to rest."
Turning her head, she gazed at the handsome profile of Kerr. Although he had never said a word, she knew that what he had done was all for her.
In any case, from Kerr's perspective, it was totally unnecessary to get involved in Bonnie's problems. She could continue lying to herself until the end of time, but she knew that all that Kerr did was for her sake.
She was grateful to him, and because of it, her view on her boss' cold-blooded nature was diminishing quickly.
If she were to be honest with herself, since she met Kerr, he had done nothing but care for her, from her well-being to familial matters. But the fact of the matter was, Kerr attracted a lot of women that she couldn't help but be wary of him.
"I'm glad to hear that."
Kerr felt some weight lifted from his chest. She was starting to open up to him, and he considered that as a huge step forward.
It didn't matter to him that he'd never made such an effort towards a woman before, and he believed she was worth all the spent energy.
When he saw the satisfied look on her face, Kerr's heart leaped upon seeing the most beautiful smile in the world.
"We're here. Thanks for bringing me home. You should go back and rest. Don't worry about the bidding. I will do my best. The Gu Group cannot miss such a good opportunity."
Nicole's face glowed with sincerity and determination. She knew that winning the bid was the best way to show her gratitude towards Kerr.
Anything other than her work as a form of thanks wasn't an option.
"Don't push yourself
bent down and picked up her son from the floor and headed for the kitchen. As expected, Jay had already prepared breakfast.
Suddenly, she felt like such an inadequate mother. Jay was far more mature than other children, even more so than she was, and it seemed that she was the one being taken care of, not the other way around. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
But she was a little surprised by what Jay said. After all, he had been hoping that she could get together with Kerr.
"Don't leave me. I will be good. I don't need any other father. If I have to choose one, I think only Uncle Gu is the best choice. But Mommy doesn't like him. He's smart, but he's still a little bit stupid since he failed to win my mommy's heart."
Jay's tone was tinged with disappointment
He just thought that Kerr was a smart man and he would take good care of his mommy. But it had been so long, why didn't he change Mommy's mind at all? It was really a disappointment to him.
Nicole's face turned grim. The newly-found hope in her heart had shattered once again.
She knew that Jay wouldn't change his mind easily.
"Okay, okay. I understand baby. Let's get you ready for school, you're going to be late. "
She didn't want to talk about Kerr with him anymore, because she could never find any reason to refuse him.
