Chapter 236 Aren&##x27;t You Afraid The Bride Will Run Away

However, Avery thought that they had no other choice, since there were still more to think about and
more to consider when it came to marriage.

Worse, there were times where fate would barge in and play cruel tricks, so they could not get anything
they wanted.

Nicole gave out a short sigh and smiled. "Let's stop worrying. I think I know what to do," she answered.
She was also considering how to punish Kerr, since he had been making her worry so much recently.

Seeing the brightness on the look of Nicole's face, Avery felt relieved and did not worry too much. She
believed that both Nicole and Kerr were truly in love, and as long as there was love, everything else did
not seem that much of a problem.

As soon as the sun set, Zachary came to pick Avery up, leaving Nicole alone in the hospital ward. She
immediately called Jay to check up on him before she decided to lie down on her back and sleep. That
night, she kept turning from either side, took still breaths, and even counted sheep, but she still could
not fall asleep.

Her mind was full of thoughts, and so after a long while, she decided to sit up and called Kerr. "What
are you doing?" she asked as soon as Kerr accepted the call.

Back in the office, Kerr sat in his chair and was holding an open jewelry box with a diamond ring he
prepared for Nicole. Staring at it with glimmering eyes and a bright smile on his face, he answered, "I'm
preparing for the wedding." He knew that Nicole would be very disappointed to hear that. She thought
he was preparing his wedding to Sunny.

But the more she felt disappointed now, the more surprised she would be when the truth came out.



"Preparing for the wedding? Really? What wedding? Aren't you afraid that the bride would not be able
to attend the wedding?" The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her words and tone sounded
threatening.

At this moment, she was really eager to see Kerr, especially after realizing that her wedding was just
right around the corner.

Hearing Nicole's words and tone, Kerr suddenly felt like there was something wrong, and that she
sounded to have had known everything already. Because of this thought, Kerr's forehead creased into
a frown.

"The bride... Didn't the bride look forward to marrying me a long time ago? What changed? Why is she
running away?" As a matter of fact, both Nicole and Sunny looked forward and could not wait to marry
Kerr, so what he said was not entirely a lie.

When she heard the confidence in Kerr's voice, she could not help but feel a little upset. She crossed
her free arm around her in slight frustration and said, "Kerr, I want to see you now.

If you don't show up right now, then you should be ready waiting in vain for a bride that is not going to
walk down the aisle the day after tomorrow. Do you understand?" As soon as she said that, she
immediately hung up the phone and angrily threw it on the bed. She lay down on her side and waited
impatiently for Kerr.

Kerr smiled and found Nicole's childish act cute. He placed his phone in his pant pocket and placed the
jewelry box in his coat pocket before he stood up to leave. When he reached for the knob and opened
the door, he was stopped by an uninvited guest standing in front of him.

"Kerr, are you finished with your work?" The sight and appearance of Sunny surprised Kerr.

As for Sunny, she came here with one goal in mind, and that was to convince Kerr to leave Nicole.



As soon as Kerr recognized her, his face suddenly grew cold and distant. The sight of her disgusted
him to the point that he did not want to look at her. Moreover, Nicole was waiting for him,

so he did not want to waste his time with Sunny.

"Whatever it is you want to say, we can talk about it after the wedding," Kerr said without giving her
another look. He then turned his back on her and went straight towards the elevator.

"Kerr, are you aware that Nicole lost her child?" For a moment, Sunny was stunned that Kerr looked at
her that way, but she realized that she still had a chance and that she was really willing to do anything it
took for her not to lose Kerr to Nicole. Before Kerr could walk into the elevator, she asked in a hurry
and closely followed after him.

As she had expected, Kerr stopped and turned to face her after hearing what she said, making her
smile knowing that she got his attention now.

Kerr knew that Moore was the one who instructed Lily to hurt Nicole to make her lose her child. Now,
seeing the excited look on Sunny's face, Kerr could not help but glare at her with disgust as the thought
crossed his mind that Sunny must also have something to do with it. She was using it against Nicole,
thinking that she would be able to get him.

"How do you know that? You must have something to do with it, haven't you?" This time, he made sure
that he made eye contact and fixed his cold and disgusted eyes at her.

As she was looking straight into his eyes, Sunny's face dropped and could not help but take a step
back instinctively. Before she could regain her composure, she immediately replied, "I heard it from my
friend working in the hospital." She knew that at a quick moment, guilt had crossed her face.
Regardless whether or not Kerr saw it, she still wanted to keep her feet on the ground and make sure
that he did not find out anything suspicious about her.



Heaving a deep breath, she looked back at him and pretended to stay calm. "There is nothing to worry
about Kerr. Relax. Our baby is fine, and unlike Nicole, I will make sure that our baby is well protected."

As she spoke, she walked towards Kerr and reached for his hands, so he could feel the baby bump on
her stomach.

However, before she could even touch him, he dodged and took a step back.

"Sunny, pray for yourself. If I find out that you are also involved with Nicole's accident, I swear to God
that I will never let you off. Do you hear me?" Without waiting for her reply, he turned around and took
the elevator, leaving the Gu Group building.

Even though Kerr pretended not to know about it, he already knew that Sunny was also involved with
whatever schemes Moore had on his sleeves. At the celebration party of the Gu Group and at the Gu
family's old house, although Moore wasn't directly involved with the issues, Kerr had found out that
Moore had stood up for Sunny every time.

Since then, Kerr had been highly suspicious of them. Sunny's reaction today had increased his
suspicions.

On the drive towards the hospital, Kerr dialed Jared's number and as soon as he picked up, Kerr
instructed, "Keep an eye on Moore and Sunny." An idea was gradually forming in his mind.

If his suspicions were proven right, then Kerr had to find a way to get rid of the He Group first, since the
Gu family always valued and sought the power of the He Group. That was why the Gu family had
always been trying to fight Kerr to marry Sunny.

However, once the He Group fell, Sunny would have no power and protection to help her keep clinging
to Kerr. Without the He Group, Sunny would never become a great candidate for a daughter-in-law



under the Gu family in the future. With that, the Gu family would stop marrying Kerr off with Sunny.

"Got it. Will do, Mr. Gu." Jared nodded and asked if there was anything else. When Kerr said no, they
both hung up.

As soon as Kerr placed his car on park, he immediately walked towards Nicole's ward and knew that
Nicole was going to have a fit for taking so long. Therefore, at the very moment he pushed the door
open and stepped inside, he raised his free hand to block his face, making him catch the pillow firmly
on his hand.

"What took you so long? You are ten minutes late!" Standing not far from the door, Nicole shouted with
a frown on her face and her arms crossed on her chest.

Kerr smiled at Nicole and looked at her with gentle and warm eyes. "So? I still came, didn't I? And, was
that a reasonable excuse to murder your husband?" Kerr walked towards Nicole, placed the pillow
aside, and placed both of his hands on each side of her waist.

Then, with his right palm, he gently touched and covered Nicole's stomach. As he felt the bump, a
satisfied smile appeared on his face. He looked at Nicole and asked excitedly,

"Is the baby fine? Is the baby doing great?"

Nicole pulled his hand away from her bump and raised her chin up to look at Kerr firmly. "Who is my
husband? You? The whole world seems to know that the eldest son of the Gu family is going to marry
the daughter of the He family."

She turned her back towards Kerr to avoid eye contact. This time, at the mention of the wedding, there
wasn't any tinge of sadness anymore.



After all, she just found out that all she heard was fake, and that all these were just a huge surprise
from Kerr, making all the sadness inside her fade away.

Even after knowing the truth, she still could not help but tease and make fun of him. Besides, Kerr still
made her feel upset.
