Chapter 161 Just Ignore It

His instinct told him that what was weighing on Nicole's mind had something to do with him.

When Nicole heard him ask her, she merely shook her head and answered vaguely, "You will know
when we arrive there." Still looking at him, her mind kept telling her that since they had decided to be
together, it would be a lot easier for them to face the fact sooner rather than later.

In no time, the car stopped at the gate of the cemetery. Kerr immediately knew what was happening as
he busied himself observing the surroundings in front of him. But instead of rejecting her, he quickly
opened the door of the car for her and gently held her hand.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Nicole blurted out. She knew how awkward it sounded since it was not what she meant to ask him.
What she genuinely wanted to know was whether he would mind coming in with her. Since they were at
the cemetery, the place was very solemn.

"That's what I want to ask you exactly. Do you think I will be afraid?"

Kerr gently replied. He yearned to make her feel his sincerity. That no matter how dangerous or distant
the place was, as long as her heart desired to be there, he would never hesitate to hold her hand and
be with her.

And now, he could only feel that it was such a good start that Nicole brought him here. To him, it was a
positive affirmation of what they had at the moment.

Slowly, the smile on Nicole's face faded, but her heart became extremely calm because of Kerr's
words. She silently headed to her parents' tombstones and stared at the photos on them. And after a
moment of silence, she opened her mouth.



"Someone gave me a present today, but I don't like it." She deliberately turned to face Kerr, who was
standing beside her. Her eyes showed an inquiring expression, but there was not the slightest sign of
doubt in it, not even a tiny dot.

Staring intently at her eyes, Kerr instantly knew that this was what she was hiding from him. But then,
joy and delight swept over him that she was finally sharing everything with him.

"If you don't like it, just ignore it,"

Kerr suggested kindly. He vowed to himself that provided it was something that Nicole liked in this
world, he would willingly give it to her at any price. But if it was something that she hated, then he
would make it disappear in front of her outright.

Nicole lifted her hand and casually handed the documents to Kerr as she fixed her gaze on his face,
eyeing him carefully, not wanting to miss any of his reactions.

"Do you believe it?"

After glancing at the documents, Kerr calmly asked her as a hint of disdain appeared on the corners of
his mouth. However, he quickly understood that if Nicole believed it, she wouldn't be with him now.

"I believe you,"

Nicole replied. Her tone sounded soft, but there was firmness in her words. Pausing for a moment, she
then directed her gaze at her parents' gravestones.

"Today, in front of my parents, I only ask you once. Do you have anything to do with the bankruptcy of
Ning Group and my father's death?"

No matter how many people had raised their opinions, they were not Kerr. And since this matter had
already involved him, she just needed to get the truth from him.



To her, what others assumed and said didn't matter. What only mattered to her was what Kerr said.

"Nicole, I promise you, your father's death has nothing to do with me. If you want to know, I'll look into
what happened seven years ago and tell you what I will find out. I promise you this. Don't worry.

I will give you whatever you want as long as you believe me,"

Kerr tenderly assured her as he reached out to pull her into his arms. He felt grateful that she trusted
him so that he would have the chance to find out the truth. And most importantly, she chose to be still
with him.

If he had not gone through this, he would never imagine that he would love a woman so intensely.

Nicole unknowingly leaned her head on Kerr's shoulder before closing her eyes. She couldn't think why
she was so confident in him, or perhaps it had something to do with Kerr choosing her despite him not
knowing who Jay's father was.

Or maybe it was because of his love. There was this sense of security that she had never felt before in
her whole life that she couldn't help reassuring him too,

"I believe you."

Soon after, they were on their way to Kerr's villa. And Nicole sat beside Kerr, seemingly contemplating.

"Do you know who sent me this gift?"

Nicole said, suddenly breaking the silence. She could still recall how exactly she felt receiving this
surprise. She was so stunned and felt at a loss for a moment that her heart raced wildly. And when she
composed herself, the first thing that she could think of was that particular woman who did nothing but
detest her.



But unfortunately, she didn't have any evidence.

"Sunny He,"

Kerr interjected. He spoke out her name without hesitation as if he had expected everything, and he
was not surprised at all.

But he didn't believe that Sunny would do this thing alone. She must have gotten consent from the Gu
family.

Kerr anticipated her sole purpose, and that was to make Nicole leave him.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

With her head tilted to one side, Nicole looked at Kerr. She could imagine the reason why Sunny did
this. Suddenly, she remembered what Avery had told her earlier, and still, she felt not relieved at all.

The expression on her face changed slightly, and she discreetly turned her head to face outside. She
didn't want Kerr to find something was wrong. Thinking of the affair between Auntie Sandra and Daniel
He, she couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Nothing is surprising,"

Kerr shrugged and indifferently replied as he continued steering the wheel. Now that Sunny wanted to
get a hand in his business, he didn't mind involving her in.

"I'm going abroad on a business trip tomorrow. It'll take about a week. You go with me,"

Kerr said, thinking that rebuilding the company of the Ning Group would need some time. If Nicole
stayed in the country, she would surely notice it. Then the surprise that he longed to give her would be
gone, so he decided that it was best to take her out to relax during this time.



Considering those things which had happened these past few days, he could never allow Nicole to feel
too nervous.

Hearing what Kerr had said, Nicole was slightly shocked. Though she was a little bit hesitant for a
while, she found herself not wanting to refuse him.

"I'll go back and pack up Jay's luggage and mine,"

Nicole agreed. Since it was dangerous here, she might as well leave with Jay temporarily. It also
happened that Kerr was on a business trip, so his work would not be affected in any way. In her heart,
as long as there were Kerr and Jay, there was her home.

"We can't take Jay with us this time. During this period, Harley will take care of him. Don't worry.
Whether it is the Gu family or the He family, they will try their best to separate us. So I think Jay will not
become their goal," he gently asserted.

It was their lovers' world. In the future, the three of them still had a lot of opportunities to live and travel
together. But for now, Kerr only wanted to enjoy the chance of being alone with Nicole.

As he spoke, he turned to gaze at Nicole. His eyes held a meaningful look.

Nicole felt unwilling. After all, ever since Jay was born, she had never been away from him, and she
was also afraid that Jay wouldn't agree.
