The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 46 Anybody But You

Before Nicole could find her clothes, the door suddenly opened from the outside. She grabbed the huge pillow beside her and threw it with all her might towards the person who was about to enter the room.

"Bastard!" She cried in anger.

The identity of that person did not matter to her. Regardless of who that person was, he was a jerk who took advantage of the situation and did such an unspeakable thing to her. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that she would get drunk because of a jerk, let alone meet another jerk.

Hearing Nicole's furious shout, Kerr carried the tray with one hand and subconsciously raised his other hand in order to catch the pillow that she threw at him. The huge pillow covered his face that she couldn't see clearly who it was.

"You called me that last night." He confirmed calmly.

A glimmer flashed through Kerr's eyes. He wondered if he lied to her that they had sex last night, would she give in and accept him?

But Kerr was a greedy man. He would not be happy with Nicole's submission alone. He wanted Nicole to offer her whole heart and soul to him.

In her fury, Nicole looked for other things to throw. She spotted a vase on the bedside table and stretched out her arm to grab it. But as soon as her hand touched the neck of the vase, she heard a familiar voice. She paused and turned around hesitantly to look at the person's face. She was then greeted by the face of the man who had made her very angry the day before.

"Why are you here?" She looked incredulously at Kerr who slowly took the pillow away from his face.

Why couldn't she escape from this man? Why did she keep crossing paths with Kerr especially when she was drunk?

Seven years ago, her mistake of going into his room gave way to that fateful night. She did not blame Kerr that time because it was all her fault. But today, after seven years, she couldn't believe that history would repeat itself. Her mind was flooded with questions about what happened last night.

Did they have another one night stand? Did she try to push him away but failed?

"Who were you expecting to be here?" Kerr replied coldly.

When he saw that she had let go of the vase, he carefully walked towards her while carrying a tray with a bowl of soup. She stared at him with a pained look, and the sight of tears in her eyes confused him.

Was she regretful now? Was she regretting that he was with her yesterday?

"Anybody but you!" Nicole hissed angrily.

To Nicole's eyes, Kerr acted as if nothing happened. He looked and acted cold, as if he didn't care about what he did to her. His cold expression filled her heart with anger.

She didn't forget that yesterday, Kerr was doing unspeakable things with Sunny in his office during working hours. With his looks and social status, he could get any woman he wanted. Presently, there were a lot of women surrounding him, waiting for their chance to pounce on him.

But she was different from those women. She would never become his woman.

She didn't care about him at all.

When Kerr heard Nicole's spiteful words, his face darkened. He slammed the tray on the nightstand and left the room.

Looking at Kerr's retreating back, Nicole folded her knees towards her body and hugged it tightly. She looked helpless as tears flowed down her angry but sad face.

"Miss Ning, may I come in?"

Suddenly, she heard a woman's voice from outside the room.

Nicole stared at the door silently before remembering to wipe the tears from her eyes and wrap the quilt around her naked body.

"Come in, please," she replied in a tentative voice.

A young woman in a maid's attire came in with a polite smile on her face.

"Miss Ning, Young Master asked me to prepare this for you."

She put the clothes next to Nicole and secretly gave her a look filled with surprise and envy.

"Thank you," Nicole said simply as she grabbed the clothes prepared by the maid.

She held the clothes tightly against her body.

"Miss Ning, why didn't you drink the soup? Young Master cooked that for you this morning! I was really surprised yesterday because it's the first time that I have seen Young Master come home with a woman."

The maid was surprised to see the soup still untouched. This woman obviously did not know how lucky she was to get his Young Master's love! He even went into the kitchen for her!

Hearing the maid's words, Nicole was slightly shocked. She raised her head and looked at the young maid in front of her in surprise.

"Did you just say that this was made by Mr. Gu? Then last night..."

She finally started to calm down. Examining her body, she didn't feel that something was amiss. Her body felt totally different today compared to that fateful morning seven years ago. Did Kerr really touch her last night?

Deep down, she already knew the answer to her question but she still couldn't believe it.

"When Young Master brought you home last night, you were already drunk. You even threw up. It was Young Master who took care of you personally! Don't you remember?" the maid asked quizzically.

When Nicole saw the surprised look on the maid's face, her chest swelled with surprise. It finally dawned on her that Kerr did not take advantage of her and even took care of her. A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

She knew now that she had misunderstood Kerr. No wonder he left angrily just now. When she turned her head to look out of the window, the sun was already shining brightly, meaning, he woke up early to take care of her before going to work. She really felt terrible about how she treated him.

"I see. You can leave now."

As soon as the maid left the room, Nicole quickly walked into the washroom with the clothes in her hands. After a quick shower, she put on her clothes and was about to leave when she noticed the bowl on the nightstand. She peered at its contents guiltily.

Nicole made up her mind. She took the bowl and drank all of its contents before she turned and walked towards the door.

The Gu family's villa was enormous. Since the house was unfamiliar to her, she walked downstairs by instinct and did not see Kerr along the way. It was not until she came to the living room that she saw

the young maid.

"Excuse me, where is Kerr?"

The young maid smiled politely when she heard Nicole's voice.

"Young Master has gone to the company, but he ordered one of the drivers to be at your disposal this morning." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Then, she handed over Nicole's bag and phone.

"Thank you." She gratefully smiled at the young maid.

Looking at the phone in her hand, she felt a little upset. She knew that Kerr was angry.

She switched on her phone and saw many missed calls from Baron. Frowning, she got into the car which was parked at the door, and told the driver to bring her to the Gu Group's headquarters. Then, she dialed Baron's number.

Before Nicole could even say 'hello', Barron started to bombard her with questions.

"Nicole, where were you last night? Do you know how worried I am?"

Barron had been waiting for her the whole night in her apartment, but she never showed up. He couldn't imagine what she and Kerr had done the whole night.

What was more, he couldn't imagine what would happen between them after this night.

"Stop. Listen to me. I had an accident last night. I don't want to talk about that now. Where is Jay? Did he get angry?"

Nicole had never been out overnight before, so what she was most worried about now was her son.

She was afraid that Jay would be furious with her.

"Jay already went to school. Actually, he is very happy to hear that you spent the night with Kerr," Baron replied angrily.

He was so jealous that he could hardly control himself.

He didn't want to admit that Nicole only cared about Jay, and that she didn't give a damn that he was worried sick all night waiting for her. It seemed that his feelings towards her was not getting through Nicole's guarded heart.
