Chapter 216 Protect Her Pride

Last time, because Nicole found out Sunny's trick in time, she was able to be right beside Kerr after he
drank the drugged wine. But this time, she was not with Kerr, and although he was back home, it was
still difficult for her to be sure that he did not have sex with Sunny.

"Kerr, I really don't want to believe what Sunny said, but if you really didn't do anything, how could she
have said it so affirmatively?"

She couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

Upon hearing Nicole's accusation, Kerr sighed and tried to hold her hand, but she immediately avoided
his grasp. Even so, he refused to give up.

He stretched out his arm and pulled Nicole into a hug. No matter how hard she struggled, he did not let
her go, and just gently stroked her long hair.

"I know you may be lacking a sense of security now that you're pregnant, but Nicole, I want you to
believe me when I say that you are the only one I want no matter what happens or who is against us.

You're the one I want to be with. You don't need to worry about me. I want you and your baby, so I
would never touch another woman.

I know I made a big mistake when I drank the wine that Sunny gave me. I should not have done that.
Don't worry. I will never do that again."

Kerr knew exactly what was on Nicole's mind, so he knew what she was worried about.

Kerr's words and the soothing sound of his voice calmed her down. In hindsight, she had always been
very uneasy.



Because even though she was with Kerr now, there were too many obstacles lying around. And now
that she was pregnant, she had become even more uneasy. She hid all of these worries in her heart.

She did not want to put too much pressure on Kerr, so she chose to bear it all in silence. If he really
betrayed her at this time, she really wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Kerr, if you really marry someone else, I will wear a wedding dress to snatch you from your new
woman and ruin your wedding ceremony, then I will abandon you as well."

There was an obvious harshness in her tone.

In her heart, she knew that if that day ever came, she might not actually go and ruin his wedding, but
she would definitely vanish from his world completely, and he would never find her again for the rest of
his life.

When Kerr heard that, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "You are the only one I want
to marry. I won't let that happen. But if it does happen, you must come to me.

As long as you show up, I will take you away to a place where there is only the two of us."

He made a promise to Nicole.

Nicole pushed him away and glared at him. "If that day ever comes, I will leave with your children and
let them find someone else to call daddy."

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the lounge. Maybe because she was pregnant,
she would always feel tired, so she wanted to have a rest.

Kerr immediately followed Nicole, but she shut the door behind her mercilessly.



"Nicole, let me keep you company, okay?" He gently knocked on the door, but she gave him no
response at all.

Left with no choice, he had to return to his desk in despair.

Sitting in front of the computer, Kerr put his mind on business. He looked at the business plan that
Nicole had worked on. She made this plan and wanted to use it for the bidding.

However, on the morning of the bidding, another company submitted their business plan first. Their
plan bore a great resemblance to the one Nicole had made, so Kerr brought back Nicole's plan at once
and looked through it carefully.

He knew for a fact that she wouldn't plagiarize others, so he was pretty sure that someone had tried to
jeopardize her proposal on purpose.

For the time being, Kerr still didn't know who had done it. It was fortunate that he found out in time.
Otherwise, Nicole would have been accused of plagiarizing others' work.

And that title would have stayed with Nicole for the rest of her life. And even though Kerr did not really
intend on letting her continue working, it would have still been a blow to her pride.

He must protect Nicole at all costs.

Meanwhile, as Jared led Sunny out of the Gu Group's building, he saw Moore at the parking lot.

"Miss He, are you here for Kerr?" Moore asked after approaching Sunny.

The moment Moore saw the marks on her neck, a smug smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He
knew that she was there to force Kerr to marry her.



Upon hearing Moore's voice, Sunny raised her head and looked at him. She saw the meaningful look in
his eyes, and she suddenly remembered what he had said to her the day before.

"Yes, I went to see Kerr. Now, I want to visit Uncle Jack and Aunt Freya."

Sunny said these words deliberately in front of Jared. She was one hundred percent sure that he would
tell Kerr about this, and she wanted Kerr to know that only she was qualified to marry him.

"What a coincidence! I'm going back there too. How about we go there together?"

He wanted to know what was on her mind. If she was not willing to help him, he didn't mind choosing
another girl. But for now, Sunny was his best choice.

Seeing the look on his face, Sunny knew that he had something to say to her, so she nodded and said
to Jared, "You don't need to see me off."

Without saying another word, Sunny got in Moore‘s car.

As he watched the two leaving, Jared had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what
it was exactly, so he had no choice but to simply return to Kerr's office.

"Master, Miss He and Moore left for your parents’ house." There was obvious worry in Jared's eyes.

But Kerr didn't seem to care.

With the exception of Nicole and their baby, Kerr didn't care about other people at all. He just nodded
and handed Nicole's business plan over to Jared.

"Go ahead and contact this company and try to figure out their intention. This was definitely not a
coincidence. If you find out some background information about them, you can try to purchase the plan
back."



Though he knew that this move would be risky, he was willing to give it a shot to protect Nicole's
pride.
