My CEO Daddy

The voices of the journalists sent shivers down Nicole's spine.

"Mr. Gu, what are your thoughts on the photos?"

"Mr. Gu, is it true that the Gu family is planning to unite with the He family through marriage? According to our sources, Miss He and you are in a mutual relationship, can you confirm?"

"Someone also told us that the Gu family and the He family have already nailed down an engagement date. Mr. Gu, care to give a statement?"

When Jared lifted his head, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of Nicole, who was standing out of the crowd of journalists in a daze-like-state. He whispered something in Kerr's ear. Kerr didn't turn his back to look at Nicole. Instead, he walked straight into the office building of Gu Group.

Standing still, Nicole still couldn't believe what she had just heard. She squatted and picked up one of the newspapers scattered on the ground. The photos immediately caught her eyes, she was shocked at what she saw.

This was the page that was creating all the fuss; a few pictures of Kerr and Sunny. In one of the pictures, it looked like Sunny was holding Kerr the way a lover would hold on to her partner; and in another picture, Kerr looked at Sunny affectionately. The pictures were something that she knew she wouldn't forget easily.

The pictures made her lose all of her remaining strength and the newspaper fell unceremoniously to the ground. Nicole walked towards the office building with empty eyes.

A keen-eyed reporter saw the dead look in Nicole's eyes and walked over to her.

"Excuse me, who are you? Do you know Mr. Gu and Miss He?"

Upon hearing the journalist's question, her vision came back to focus. The journalist looked expectant; as if she had some juicy, exclusive gossip that she could share with him. She just looked bitterly at him.

"I am just an ordinary employee working in the Gu Group."

After saying that, she went straight into the building so the reporter didn't get the chance to ask another question.

She couldn't help but feel cold all over her body. She knew that Kerr had seen her just now,

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

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.

extravagant life while my life is trivial at best," she told him.

"We do not belong in the same world. Please don't force us on each other."

After all, it was just wishful thinking, right? It was time to wake herself up from the dream, she had to return to real life now.

It was only now that she understood why Jay had been so mad at Kerr all of a sudden. He had even said that he wanted to go back to Manhattan. Jay was probably disappointed in him. She had once worried about her son's feelings but now, those worries were gone.

This time, she felt that she had enough reasons to finally leave.

When he heard her words, Kerr still didn't let her go.

"Nicole, I understand that you're angry, but please trust me. Give me a little time. I will take care of everything. Everything I said to you is true. I'm serious about you," he pleaded.

"But I have a reason why I'm not telling you anything yet. I am also in a dilemma right now. Don't worry, I will have it solved soon enough."

He didn't want Nicole to know these things because he didn't want to trouble or burden her. He wanted to fix everything by himself and he just wanted to see her happy.

Nicole took a deep breath and told herself to be brave while giving him a forced smile. She raised her hand and shook off the hand that held her waist. Then she turned around to look back at him with disappointment in her eyes.
