As soon as Kerr showed up, Kim strode forward and handed him a stack of documents along with a key.

"Mr. Gu, this is the house's certificate of ownership and its key. As you requested, it's under Miss Ning's name."

Kim carefully eased his tone in the last part.

"Why?"

Kerr raised his eyebrows in surprise. For so many years, his parents insisted on portraying the role of the perfect and harmonious family in which husband and wife loved each other to the end. However, out of the public eye, it was all an illusion.

Between them, there was no warmth. They could very well be strangers inside their house. Therefore how could two people who barely ever talked, argue?

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.

"What's wrong with you?"

She could sense something was bothering him. Although she knew Kerr smoked, he never did it in front of her.

Let's go inside."

As Kerr stepped aside to lead her up the stairs, Nicole finally took a look at where they were and noticed the familiar place.

Standing before the front door of the villa she had grown up, Nicole's eyes started to water. Immediately, she let go of Kerr's hand and reached out to push the door open. On her first step in, the lights in the hall switched on.
