My CEO Daddy

Nicole continued, "You see, I'm strong enough to take care of Jay and myself."

Leaning against Kerr, Nicole felt unprecedentedly secure.

Kerr had indeed come into her life earlier than Baron. But she didn't speak out the truth yet. She simply decided to hold off until Kerr proposed.

She would reveal Jay's identity to him as a gift. She believed there would be nothing better than that.

"I trust you. It's him I don't trust," Kerr announced.

Right on cue, there was a knock on the door. Kerr gripped Nicole's hand more tightly.

"Come in."

Nicole tried to break free of Kerr's tight embrace, but the man didn't budge a little as if he were a statue.

The door swung open and revealed a man standing in the doorway. With a bouquet of flowers on hand, Baron walked in. Nicole in Kerr's arms was the first thing he noticed. Nicole seemed fine. She actually looked happy.

He had finally and truly lost Nicole.

"Are you feeling better?"

Baron's face betrayed no emotion. He knew how much Kerr liked Nicole and had found out about Nicole's feelings for Kerr, although he did not want to acknowledge it.

"Better. Are those for me? They're beautiful." NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Nicole looked down on the purple flowers in Baron's hand as Baron handed them to her. Her face shone with delight.

It was a bouquet of purple forget-me-not. It seemed that Baron had already understood Nicole's choice.

"Good. From now on, please remember to eat on time. You know your tummy hurts when you forget to eat. But I think you don't have to work too hard anymore."

Baron looked at Kerr who was sitting beside Nicole

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

rr could truly make her happy. Nevertheless, Nicole had decided. After all, love was not something that mixed well with reason.

He knew that no matter what he said, it would not change Nicole's mind to his favor.

"You will find happiness, Baron."

She took the key from him.

Right then, Nicole knew that she had gotten Baron's blessing. She believed that she would eventually forget about the key because she was sure that Kerr would not let her down.

At that time, never in Nicole's wildest imagination did she expect that someday in the future, this key would make her give up on Kerr and be haunted by nightmares.

In the adjacent room, Jay sat on his bed.

He kept his eyes fixed on his laptop screen as Kerr's and the nurse's footsteps approached. Soon, Kerr and the nurse were in his room.

"I didn't mean to lie to you, Mr. Gu," the nurse said.

Feeling Kerr's sharp stare, the nurse slowly stepped back and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"It wasn't the nurse's fault. I asked her to lie."

Jay raised his head and looked at Kerr.
