Chapter 121 Just Once


    Kelvin fell silent and lowered his head. Kerr had never made grave mistakes, but now he had clearly


    struck his father''sst nerve.


    "Vedder is downstairs, My Lord," Kelvin brought up nervously.


    Jack looked at Kelvin but said nothing.


    Kelvin nodded.


    "I''ll talk to him," he murmured.


    Kelvin then turned around and left the study, shutting the door behind him. He sighed as he went


    downstairs to talk to Vedder who he found waiting anxiously.


    "What did the lord say?"


    Vedder stepped forward, almost trembling with unease.


    He and Kelvin were trained together. Since they came to the Gu family house, Kelvin became Jack''s


    assistant while Vedder became Kerr''s. With that, Vedder was as in trouble as Kerr for allowing him to


    be close to Nicole.


    "He was too enraged to say anything. We better get that woman to leave the young master as soon as


    possible, or we''ll both get fired or worse."


    Kelvin looked worried.


    "I''ve tried talking the young master out of it, but he won''t listen to me. You should try talking to him,"


    Vedder rambled.


    He had tried reasoning with Kerr before about Nicole, but it did not work.


    "Fine, I''ll try. Better me than the lord dealing with his son himself."


    Kelvin thought that this was the only way to keep Jack and Kerr''s rtionship intact.


    "Be careful. You have no idea how much the young master cares about Miss Ning," Vedder reminded


    Kelvin.


    Last time hemented about Kerr and Nicole''s rtionship, Vedder saw the most unhappy


    expression on Kerr''s face. If Kelvin identally provoked him, the consequences would be


    unthinkable.


    "Oh, you''re not off the hook yet, Vedder. We''re in this together."


    Kelvin was not about to do this all on his own. Vedder would watch his back.


    At the hospital, Kerr had just coaxed Jay to sleep.


    He then walked to Nicole''s ward.


    Baron was no longer there. Nicole was sitting on her bed with aputer on herp. She did not look


    up when she heard someonee in. She smiled slightly.


    "You''re back."


    Even though she did not see him, Nicole knew it was Kerr.


    "How did you know it''s me?"


    Kerr climbed onto the bed and sat beside Nicole.


    "You''re the only one whoes in here without knocking first."


    Nicole softly leaned her head on Kerr''s shoulder.


    "Has Baron given up then?"


    Kerr trusted Nicole, but he did not trust Baron. He had always had doubts about what was going on


    between them.


    "I don''t know about that. Anyway, we''re just good friends. We''ve simply known each other for a long


    time."


    Nicole was telling the truth. She had never given Baron any chance. After all, she found out she was


    pregnant not long after she had been in Manhattan. She could not helpughing at the memory.


    She might have escaped from Kerr at that time, but she had ended up giving birth to a mini version of


    him.


    "What''s so funny?"


    Kerr lifted up Nicole''s chin and stared deeply into her eyes. The smile on the corner of Nicole''s mouth


    made him fall in love with her all over again.


    He could not help nting a soft kiss on her lips.


    "I''m justughing at myself. How lucky am I to be the woman of the Gu Group''s CEO? Many women


    can only dream of that."


    Nicole did not dodge Kerr''s kiss. Instead, she looked straight into his eyes and returned the favor with


    tender passion.


    If Jay was a gift from fate, then Kerr was a gift from God.


    "If I stepped down as CEO of the Gu Group one day, would you leave me?"


    Kerr released Nicole and watched her carefully.


    If he wanted to be with Nicole, he was bound to give up everything—the Gu Group, his identity, his


    status, and all his assets. He would go through a lot of difficulties, which he was willing to face.


    He just was not sure if Nicole was willing to go through a rough patch with him.


    "I''d have to think about that carefully. After all, ''CEO of the Gu Group'' is quite attractive."


    Nicole straightened up and pretended to think seriously.


    "What did you say?"


    Kerr grabbed Nicole by the waist and held her tightly.


    "What are you doing?"


    Kerr proceeded to tickle Nicole silly. She giggled and tried to stop Kerr but failed.


    "No matter who I am, one thing won''t change," Kerr said firmly.


    He believed that Nicole was not a vain woman, and she would never give up on him because of


    material things.


    Nothing could tear them apart.


    "And what''s that? Ah! Stop it!"


    "I''m yours."


    Kerr stopped tickling Nicole for a moment and looked deeply into her eyes. She smiled at him. He had


    never felt this happy and satisfied in his entire life.


    "We better turn in. We didn''t get a good night''s sleepst night, and you haven''t been sleeping well."


    Nicole held Kerr''s face in her hands.


    She worried that he was not taking care of himself.


    "I''m not tired at all. As long as you''re with me, I''ll never be tired."


    It was toote to stop him now.

    "But I..."


    Nicole saw the raw emotion in Kerr''s eyes. She opened her mouth to say something but once again


    found herself silenced by his gentle kiss. A few heartbeatster, she gave up and allowed him to be


    unruly.


    "Just once,"


    Kerr whispered in her ear.


    Nicole''s face turned red.
