The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 84 Follow Your Heart

"It was your fault, wasn't it? I didn't find her because you placed obstacles in my way."

Kerr's tone was calm, but the disappointed expression was hard to hide on his face.

"How dare you speak to me this way! Are you not aware of who you are talking to? I think you've forgotten the rules of Gu family."

Provoked by Kerr's tone, Jack's authority was challenged. His face contorted to one of intense anger.

"Which rule? The one where we aren't allowed to focus on only one woman? Is that the rule you're referring to?"

Ever since Kerr could remember, his father told him that he couldn't love a woman too much. Everything he did, he had to do it rationally, because he knew that in his father's eyes, love was useless, worthless. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

From the moment he was born into the Gu family, he had not enjoyed the care of loving parents. He had never witnessed any affection between them, and even his mother did not care about the other women his father had outside their marriage.

In the eyes of the public, they were always a lovely couple, but in this place they called home, they were always cold towards each other.

"I have given you too much power, haven't I? Everything that you have is mine. I can take them all back."

Jack's anger increased tenfold as he looked at the obstinate expression of Kerr.

Hearing his father's words, Kerr just smiled and then turned to walk out of the house.

"Kerr!"

Sunny looked at Kerr's retreating back and tried to run after him. Before he got into his car, she ran to him and then hugged him from behind, tightly locking her arms around his waist.

"Kerr, I'm not asking you for anything. Please don't let me go. I love you. I've fallen in love with you since we were younger."

She didn't expect Kerr to be so firm with his decision. In fact, there was no other reason for her to love him. It was not only because he would inherit the Gu Group in the future, but also because she was very obsessed with this charming man.

But she never imagined that Kerr would go against his father for this.

Hearing what she said, Kerr sighed. He turned around and removed her hold from his torso. He looked at Sunny sternly, wanting to make himself crystal clear.

"Sunny, you should have your own life. You shouldn't just let them dictate how you should live it."

He had always believed that it was the wish of both their families that made her so persistent in sticking around him.

"No, it's not because they're pushing me to you. I love you, not just because you are the heir of Gu family."

She looked into his eyes, her face streaked with tears.

"If I lost everything from the Gu family, would you still love me as much as you do now?"

Kerr asked calmly, staring at her face.

Hearing this, Sunny was stunned for a moment.

Kerr being the heir of the Gu family was the precondition of her love for him. Would she be willing to marry him if he lost everything of the Gu family? She had never thought about it this way.

Deep down, she never really thought of the possibility that Kerr could lose everything.

Looking at the woman who was in a daze, Kerr smiled, got into his car and drove away, leaving the He family's daughter alone.

Suddenly, it began to rain.

The rain flowed on the window glass.

Kerr missed Nicole very much. When he heard from Jack that the woman from seven years ago died, he felt inexplicably relieved, because his heart had been filled with Nicole, and there was no place for him to give to the woman from seven years ago.

"Jared, send me the address of where Nicole is now."

After asking for Nicole's location, Kerr hung up the phone and drove to the address that was sent to him. When he parked his car outside the Lin family's villa, he dialed Nicole's number.

"Nicole, come out!"

On the bed, Nicole was talking to Avery. She had just told her friend the story of Jay and briefly explained her relationship with Kerr. She didn't expect to receive a call from him this evening.

"What, where are you? Are you near my friend's house?"

There was something wrong with Kerr's voice, but Nicole had no idea what it could be.

She got out of bed and walked to the window. She saw the faint light of the car stopping in front of the house under the rain.

"Please go home. I'm staying here tonight."

After replying to him, she hung up the phone, but stood by the window and watched what was happening outside. It seemed Kerr didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.

"Who was it? Has your enemy come to pick you up?"

With curiosity, Avery stood beside Nicole. She looked at the car under the heavy rain, full of admiration in her eyes.

"What should I do? Avery, I shouldn't have gotten involved with him. But it seems that no matter how hard I try, I just can't get away from him."

Nicole's tone was laced with vulnerability, but it was undeniable that she was worried about Kerr.

Her heart was full of contradiction and hesitation. She was so confused she couldn't decide.

"Nicole, maybe you should follow your heart. Do you like Kerr? Although you said that you would stay away from him, that's what your mind is telling you to do, to be reasonable. But what about your heart, what is it screaming out to you?"

"Life is short. There are many things you are supposed to do in this world, but how many of those things can you do, actually do, and achieve throughout your life? The least you should decide on is something that could make you happy."

Avery noticed that every time Nicole mentioned Kerr, her eyes would twinkle in a strange light. People always said that you could easily tell if a girl loved a man from the look in her eyes when she talked about that certain man.

The affection in Nicole's eyes was so obvious that her love for Kerr couldn't be denied.

"I... Do I like him?"

Nicole muttered to herself and sighed.

She was so worried about Kerr. She didn't know if he was mad at her, if he would leave eventually or he would wait for her the entire night if she didn't go out.

An hour passed by, then two hours.

She continued to stand by the window and watched the car, stubbornly refusing to leave.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up the dark sky. In the dim light, Nicole seemed to see Kerr sitting in the car and turned to run downstairs.

"Remember to bring an umbrella!"

Lying on the bed, Avery looked at Nicole disappearing. With a smile, she reminded her friend to keep herself dry and then closed her eyes to sleep. Tonight, her friend would not come back.

As soon as he saw Nicole appear at the gate of Lin family villa, Kerr opened the door and got out of the car. Not caring if he got wet from the pouring rain, he strode towards Nicole.
