Chapter 194 I Won''t Let You Marry Anyone


    After they got in the car, Kerr put his arm around Nicole''s shoulder and looked down at the little woman


    leaning on him. It broke his heart to see the tears rolling down her face. Whenever he attempted to


    wipe them away, more would start to fall back. She just couldn''t stop crying.


    "Don''t cry. I''m fine now and here with you. I won''t let you suffer anymore." He thought she was crying


    for all she had been through while he was in aa.


    Never could he have imagined those were actually tears of joy.


    Nicole looked up and was soon enraptured by the sight of him. In fact, she wished she could keep


    staring at him for the rest of her life.


    "Do you have any idea how scared I was? What would I''ve done if you never woke up? I was so afraid


    that I would lose you and never be with you again.


    But I couldn''t let anyone see it. I had to be strong. I had to make them believe you were okay even


    though I was constantly afraid they would find out the truth.


    This was the biggest lie I''ve ever told in my life. Of course, I felt guilty, but I had to go through with it."


    Nicole usually refrained from lying. The first time she did it, it was to protect Jay by concealing his


    identity, and the second time was to protect Kerr as she pretended he was fine.


    In both cases, she felt as if she didn''t have any other choice, so she lied despite being afraid of getting


    caught.


    After Nicole got everything out of her chest, Kerr held her and ced a gentle kiss on her head. He


    could feel her trembling in his arms but did his best tofort her.


    "I know. It''s all my fault, but I promise this won''t happen again. Now stop crying, or it might affect the


    baby." When Kerr woke up, he learned through Vedder about Nicole''s pregnancy.

    He also knew about everything else that was going on, but now he was more concerned with Nicole''s


    health. He worried that all that crying could affect her and the baby in her womb.


    As for everything she had to endure, he still had his whole life to make it up to her. Indeed, they had a


    long time ahead, and there was no need to rush anything.


    Meanwhile, Nicole felt safe and relieved in Kerr''s arms. This was the first time that she seemed free to


    vent all the difficulties she had been through during the past few days.


    Only then was she able topletely let her guard down and ess her true feelings.


    When Nicole heard what Kerr said, she sniffed before looking up to meet his gentle gaze. "How did you


    know about our baby?" She choked on her words between sobs.


    Kerr lowered his head and looked into her eyes. Her eyshes were still soaked from the tears,


    making her look so vulnerable and innocent like a child. However, Kerr knew that he was the only one


    allowed to see this side of her.


    This was the same woman that, in his time of trouble, had been strong enough to face all kinds of


    challenges. No matter how hard she had to work or how others mistreated her, she never shrank back.


    However, since she had reunited with Kerr, she allowed herself to be vulnerable again. She no


    longer needed to pretend to be strong now that she had someone by her side for better or worse.


    Sometimes people could be quite unpredictable. Nicole, for example, could tough up and face anything


    on her own. But the moment she saw Kerr, she broke down in tears, and all she wanted was to snuggle


    in his arms for a while. At that moment, she became tired of having to fight against everything alone.


    "Silly girl, of course, I know. By the way, is the baby all right? And what about you?" Kerr gently rested


    his warm hand over Nicole''s abdomen, and the corner of his lips slightly rose.


    The sunlight suddenly shone through the window, hitting Kerr. For a minute, he seemed to have a halo


    around his body. Typically, he was already a dazzling and charming person. At that moment, however,


    Nicole couldn''t help but appreciate the sight of him even more.


    Nicole nodded nkly. "Why did you wake up all of a sudden? I was so worried about you... Harley told


    me that you might never wake up again, but I didn’t believe him. I was sure you would.


    I knew you wouldn''t want to leave me alone or the baby." Nicole looked at him in pain, but her voice


    never wavered.


    If she hadn''t been so firm all this time, perhaps she wouldn''t have made it without him. She relied on


    her confidence that Kerr wouldn''t be able to leave her and, therefore, would wake up.


    With a crooked smile, Kerr caressed her long hair and answered, "I heard a voice saying that you were


    going to get married to someone else, so I woke up. You''re mine, Nicole. How could you be anyone


    else''s bride?"


    He had been determined to be with Nicole and wouldn''t allow anyone to take her from him. When he


    saw how sad she was earlier at the door of the hotel, he realized she must be envious of other people''s


    wedding.


    Kerr knew that he owed her a grand wedding, not that he ever doubted he could give her one. In fact,


    he would make it the most unique event ever seen in the whole world.


    He nned this for a long time now. However, this wasn''t the moment to tell Nicole about it. He wanted


    to surprise her when the time came.


    Nicole''s eyes became wide in front of his revtion. As he smiled slightly at her, she couldn''t help but


    look at him in disbelief.


    "If I had known it would work, I would have said it a long time ago."


    She didn''t expect that such ordinary words would motivate him to wake up.


    In the future, thinking back to this matter, she would ask Harley if there really was any magic in the


    world.


    His answer would be deep and unfathomable. "There are many things in this world that science cannot


    exin."


    Therefore, Nicole would choose to believe that everything was destined. When she needed Kerr the


    most, he appeared on time. Perhaps, love was the real answer.


    Kerr looked at Nicole. She was so cute that he couldn''t help feeling lucky to have her in his life. He


    didn''t want to ever let go of her.


    Feeling the warmth of Kerr''s arms around her, all the problems she had to facetely became a distant


    memory.


    At this time, Jared saw the happy looks on the couple''s faces from the rear-view mirror. Satisfied, he


    drove towards the vi and parked the car. Soon after, he opened the door for them.


    Kerr held Nicole''s hand and guided her inside their home. In the living room, they found Harley already


    expecting them. Harley was immediately relieved to see Kerr back.
