Chapter 117 To Frankly Face The Heart

"Don't worry about it. Did Jared tell you anything?"

Kerr casually picked up an apple from the nightstand and started peeling it. He did not seem worried at
all.

"No. I heard it from someone else. Oh, by the way, Kim told me last night that he found tire tracks on
the edge of the cliff. Is that true?"

Nicole frowned slightly. It was a matter of life and death. No matter how powerful the Gu Group was,
that kind of thing was still troublesome to deal with.

Kerr cut a small piece of the apple and fed it to Nicole.

"No, it's not. It rained a lot yesterday. What Kim saw was just gravel that slid down the mountain. I
already took care of it. You just focus on taking care of yourself now."

He did not want the surprise he had prepared to become a nuisance to Nicole.

Actually, he had blocked the news about that incident last night. A car had indeed fallen off the
mountain, and Kerr had compensated the victim's bereaved.

It would only burden Nicole, so Kerr decided to keep her in the dark.

"I'm fine now. What about the bidding? Besides... Hmm..."

Before Nicole could finish talking, Kerr was already kissing her passionately.

Kerr tasted Nicole's sweetness and drank her up like fine wine. She was impossibly beautiful like an
entire poppy flower field in full bloom. He was addicted to her and slowly becoming dependent on her.

"If you're in good spirits, I don't mind finishing what we started last night."



With a playful look in his eyes, Kerr lifted his hand and started to unbutton his shirt.

"I'm still so tired. I don't have any strength."

This was a hospital, and people might come in at any time. Nicole did not want to be talked about.
Besides, she had not fully recovered.

She could still feel her body aching. She grabbed Kerr's hand to stop him.

"I was just kidding. How would I tire you out? I can wait until you recover, but my emotions will be pent
up by then. You will have to compensate if you know what I mean."

It was obvious that Kerr was teasing her. Nicole stared at him with wide eyes. With a sly smile, Kerr
pulled his hand out of Nicole's grasp and whispered into her ear. His voice was low and suggestive.

Such shameless things he said! Nicole blushed furiously and buried her head in Kerr's strong arms.

She fervently shook off the erotic pictures that Kerr had planted in her head. They had more pressing
concerns to discuss now that they were together.

"Are you serious, Kerr? Are you really willing to give up better chances just to be with me? I will only
ask you this question once. I will believe whatever answer you give me now.

I will only give you one chance. If you can't keep your promise, you will never find me again. I'm just an
ordinary person without a rich and powerful family like you. Before I met you, I didn't believe that I
would fall in love with someone like you.

Yes, I admit it. I've fallen for you. Last night, when I thought you were in trouble or worse, I was
extremely worried. I don't remember worrying about anyone like that in my entire life."

Nicole looked up at Kerr, put her arms around his neck, and stared deeply into his eyes.



She was never a timid woman. She had already realized her feelings for Kerr last night when Jared told
her about all the things that Kerr had done for her.

She was deeply touched because she never thought that Kerr really made a plan for her future.

"Yes, I'm serious. I choose you. You're the best I ever had. Before I met you, I didn't think I'd fall for
anyone. You're the reason I believe in fate now.

I admit that seven years ago, I met someone who made me feel something special. I've looked for her
for the last seven years.

But when I met you, I stopped looking. You made me feel something I had never felt before. For the
first time, I have someone I want to protect."

This was the first time that Kerr opened up to Nicole. He wanted to be honest with her.

He had a feeling that his father had gotten that girl from seven years ago killed, or maybe destiny had a
hand in them not ending up together.

With a faint smile, Nicole raised her head and planted a soft kiss on the corner of Kerr's mouth.

"I'm honored, Mr. Gu.

Then you must protect me and Jay. Don't let us down."

Nicole had never believed in fate until she met Kerr. Maybe he was right. She was destined to be with
him.

She was destined to meet Kerr, to give birth to Jay, and to let them meet again.

"I will. Give me some time to solve all the problems here, and then we will leave."



Ever since falling for Nicole, all Kerr could think about was leaving with her and Jay. Suddenly, he did
not want anything else. All he wanted was Nicole, the lovely woman he was destined to love with all his
heart.

"By the way, I just remembered. Tell me, what's going on between you and Sunny?"

Nicole would never forget that intimate photo. She pinched one of Kerr's ears, pretending to be angry
with him.

Kerr found it adorable.

He knew that she was jealous. He used to hate explaining to jealous women, but now, he did not mind.

"My Nicole is angry. Let me think, what has happened between me and Sunny... We had been engaged
under the elders' arrangement..."
