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 mest


    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 d 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.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    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 too hard. Although the Gu Group values this opportunity for the cooperation, it isn''t


    necessary to put too much pressure on your shoulders."


    Although he wanted to give Nicole a chance to prove herself, he didn''t want her to wear herself out.


    That was thest thing that he''d want.


    "It''s almost dawn. Get some rest. I''ll ask for a leave for you."


    Outside, the sun had risen. Kerr suddenly regretted that he involved Nicole withst night''s incident,


    and in turn, she did not have a good rest.


    "That''s not necessary. I''m fine. Nothing should get in the way of my work. I know what I''m doing. See


    youter!"


    Although Nicole was exhausted, she did not have the right toin. She wasn''t a child anymore.


    She couldn''t be coddled. Having Jay helped her grow up quickly.


    Without giving him a chance to answer, she got out of the car and trotted upstairs.


    She couldn''t deny that Kerr really was ady-ma who could attract anyone, and Nicole was


    powerless against him.


    With her back against the door as she closed it, she took a deep breath.


    She felt her face burning and covered it with her hands.


    "If you were with Uncle Gu, I forgive you for staying out all night."


    Jay stood nearby, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, and looked earnestly at his blushing


    mother standing at the door.


    His little body leaned against the door frame, looking mature and yful. But from a six-year-old child,


    the sight was absolutely adorable.


    "Ah! Why are you standing there? You scared me."


    With all that happened, she didn''t notice Jay standing at the door of the dining room when she came in.


    When she heard his voice, she was shocked.


    She lowered her head and walked to the dining room looking guilty. She reached for a pitcher of water


    on the table and poured herself a ss. After she drank half of it, she gradually calmed down and


    turned to look at Jay and tried to divert the topic of conversation.


    "Hurry up and have breakfast. I''ll take you to school."


    Although she knew that Jay really wanted her to be with Kerr, she didn''t agree with him. She didn''t


    want him to know who she was with.


    No one knew what could happen in the future, and if she was doomed to break up with Kerr, if they


    even started a rtionship, she couldn''t bear to think how disappointed Jay would be.


    "You haven''t told me who you were withst night."


    Seeing that his tactic didn''t work, Jay changed his n and ran towards Nicole. He held her leg with his


    little arms and smiled bitterly.


    "It''s just something happened to your aunt Bonnie, so I went there to have a look. Don''t think too


    much."


    Jay''s miserable expression was thest thing she could bear. Every time he did, she would be wrapped


    around his little fingers.


    "Really? Mommy, you didn''t stay with another manst night? I don''t want a daddy anymore. And


    Mommy, please don''t date any other man, okay?"


    The look he held against Nicole was filled with offense, as if he was using her of leaving him alone


    at homest night.


    "I''m sorry, baby. I saw you sleeping and I didn''t want to disturb you, so I slipped away. I promise I won''t


    do it again. Do you really not want to have your father?"


    Nicole 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.


    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 bete. "


    She didn''t want to talk about Kerr with him anymore, because she could never find any reason to


    refuse him.
