Chapter 202 Protect Your Sister

Nicole gave Kerr a gentle kiss on the cheek, snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes.

Kerr gazed at the woman and the little boy beside him, trying his best to stifle his desire. Stretching his
hand out, he touched Jay lightly on the nose. Then he tightened his arms around Nicole and fell sound
asleep.

Having a wife and son gave Kerr a deep feeling of satisfaction.

His night in particular was filled with peace and happiness.

The next day dawned, and Nicole smiled softly to herself as she fixed Kerr's tie for him.

"Do you ever think about the shares your mother holds?" Nicole didn't want to put too much pressure
on Kerr, but this seemed the quickest way to solve the problem. After all, he deserved those shares.

Kerr looked at Nicole, his eyes soft with emotion.

"I won't let the Gu Group fall into anyone else's hands without those shares. Have faith in your lover,
Nicole. Stay at home and wait for me. When I've finished work, I'll come back to you as soon as I
possibly can."

Actually, Kerr longed to stay with her all the time, but the company needed him to handle its affairs.
And he worried that, if he took Nicole with him to the office, it would be too stressful for her.

His only choice was to let her stay at home.

She looked at him and nodded. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

She knew what Kerr's concerns were, of course. But she also knew that he had a lot to deal with at Gu
Group, and she would be understanding and considerate.



After breakfast, Kerr gave Nicole a kiss on her forehead and left the villa.

Jay watched Kerr's retreating figure from the doorway, his eyes clearly sparkling with happiness. He
walked over to his mom and flung his arms around her. Finally, she was all his!

"Mommy, can I go with you to Grandpa's house?" The boy knew that Kerr had transferred the deeds to
the Ning family property over to Nicole.

This was Kerr's place and while he was out, Jay wanted to leave with Nicole. Even though he was sure
Kerr would find them, he wanted to make the man worry first.

Nicole was stunned at Jay's words. "How did you know about your grandpa's house? I've never told
you about that."

She'd had her suspicions about Jay, though. She hadn't had enough time for him during all the recent
upheaval, and when things calmed down she realized that things hadn't been right ever since her
business trip with Kerr.

Back then, Jay hadn't shown disapproval of her trip with Kerr. It made Nicole feel suspicious.

Jay looked at his mom's questioning eyes and raised one small hand to cover his mouth. He realized
he'd totally spilled the beans!

"Oh, nothing, Mommy. I'm going to read some of my books now."

There was no way he wanted to answer his mom's questions. He turned to run upstairs, but before he
could get very far, Nicole stopped him in his tracks.

"Get back here, Jay! I need to ask you something. Don't run away from me!"



Nicole's heart sank. How could she not have known that Jay was keeping secrets from her? It was
hurtful and worrying at the same time. Had she really been neglecting Jay so much recently?

Walking up to Jay, she wished she could scoop him up into her arms. But the way things were, she
didn't think she'd have the strength to hold him for long. Jay had gotten taller, and Nicole was pregnant.
It would be difficult to carry him.

"Don't worry, Mommy. I know you've got my little sister in your belly and you can't pick me up. Let's sit
on the sofa instead. I'll tell you what I know."

Jay could sense that there was something wrong with his mom. Holding her hand, he led her to the
sofa and sat down. His small fingers patted her softly on the stomach as he said, "This is a message
for my little sister. Little sister, please can you be a good girl in our mommy's belly?"

Nicole's heart melted. She was proud of how sensible and thoughtful her son was being. She stroked
his soft hair gently.

"Jay, I don't ever want you to keep any secrets from me. You can always tell me anything, I mean it.
Whatever happens, I promise I'll never leave you."

She wished she could see exactly what was going on in the world inside his little head.

Jay seemed to take in his mother's words before he rested his cheek on her belly, moving tentatively
and gently, as though he was worried that he might hurt the baby growing inside her.

"I didn't do anything, Mommy, I swear. I just helped the old man when he was getting a gift ready for
you. I'm on the same side as him. I won't let anyone bully my mommy!

We can stick together to protect my mommy and my little sister, you know?"



He didn't want her to know the truth. It was his secret, and his only weapon in the fight against Kerr.
There was no way he'd ever let that man take his mother away from him.

Nicole's heart swelled with joy at her son's explanation. She was so lucky! She had a wonderful son
and husband by her side, making her contented and fulfilled, even if they had been through a lot.

As long as they were with her, there was nothing for her to be afraid of.

Over in the CEO's office at Gu Group, Kerr was busily at work.

He sat behind his desk, leafing through the files that Jared had prepared for him.

"Mr. Gu, I need to let you know that when Nicole was here before, Lily was working for her. But this
morning, Lily handed in her resignation."

Jared didn't understand why Lily would suddenly resign like that. It was a good opportunity to work as
the CEO's assistant. But she seemed to have made up her mind about it.

Kerr didn't care much about it. He hadn't had a female assistant since getting together with Nicole, and
this Lily person had been working for her, not him.

It didn't really make any difference to him whether Lily resigned or not. But he supposed that Nicole had
liked Lily, so maybe she could be a good choice of person to take care of her.

"Lily could go keep Nicole company."

He knew Jared would find a way to work this out. And if Lily could take good care of Nicole, Kerr would
definitely pay her a good salary.

It seemed too good an opportunity to waste.



Jared took in Kerr's words before he nodded, understanding their meaning right away.

Kerr casually picked up the schedule on the desk and frowned. There was a dinner party tonight. He
read more details, his frown deepening. Well, there was no way he could miss this.

He picked up the phone and dialed Nicole's number. "What are you doing?" he asked.

This was a daily routine in their lives. Kerr found that even a single moment apart or even a single step
away from her was like torture for him.

They had only been separated for just over an hour, but to Kerr it felt like an eternity. He longed
desperately to be with Nicole for every single minute of each day.

Nicole let Kerr's gentle voice fill her ears as she put down her pen.
