The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 265 He Was So Thoughtful Towards Her

"Nicole, where have you been? I tried calling you many times, but your phone was off." Avery sounded as if she had been wronged.

A faint smile appeared on Nicole's face. She felt a bit guilty as she thought of what she had done. "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? You are going to be a bride, aren't you?"

She really hoped that Avery would be happy. She knew that Zachary could make Avery happy, and that was why she took the risk.

On the other side of the line, Avery was silent.

Nicole immediately noticed that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but worry if she had gone too far. After all, Avery had never been intimate with other men, and this kind of thing could be a big blow to her.

"Avery, are you mad at me? I really think that Zachary is a good choice for you, so I want to help you guys out. I'm sorry. I know that I might have crossed the line..."

She was worried about Avery, and she was afraid that Avery would really get angry at her.

"Nicole, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Avery was puzzled. She didn't know why Nicole was suddenly apologizing to her.

What Avery was going to tell Nicole had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Hearing what she said, Nicole was confused as well. "Then what happened to you? Aren't you going to get married tomorrow? I still wanted to tell you that Kerr has taken me to D Island, and I might not be able to go back," she said.

She was going to miss her best friend's wedding, and she felt terribly regretful.

"There is no wedding. That's what I wanted to tell you. Zachary called it off. I won't have to marry him." Avery knew she should be happy, but she wasn't.

The moment she found out that Zachary had gone abroad, she had no idea why she didn't feel relieved at all.

"How could that be? That night, didn't you two..." Nicole came back to her senses before she could say anything else.

Avery was confused. "Nicole, what did you do behind my back? Or is there something you are hiding from me?" Avery thought of Zachary's reaction that night.

It was obvious that something was wrong. Besides, it didn't seem like a coincidence that Nicole and Kerr had to leave at that exact moment.

Avery was simple and innocent since she was always well protected by Zachary, so she didn't find anything suspicious at that time.

"Fine, I'm going to confess. Do you still remember that day when Zachary drank the wine for you? I was planning to spice things up for the two of you, so I put something in your wine.

I didn't expect Zachary to be so overprotective of you, but he drank the wine for you. I thought it would help to push your relationship, but it seems like I didn't think it through."

Nicole knew that something must have happened between Zachary and Avery. Otherwise, Zachary would not have cancelled the wedding so abruptly. Zachary was a responsible man.

Upon hearing that, Avery couldn't help but feel surprised. "Nicole... Do you mean that Zachary that night..." All of a sudden, Avery understood what he meant back then.

Even under those circumstances, Zachary still let her go. She had no idea that Zachary was so thoughtful towards her.

"I'm sorry, Avery. I made a rash decision," Nicole apologized with sincerity. She knew that she didn't have the right to make choices for Avery. It was her life, after all.

Avery sighed. "No, it is fine, Nicole. Maybe we are just not meant to be together. It's a lot to process and I don't know what to do, Nicole. Thank you for telling me this. Let's drop it now. Are you alright over there?"

She was in a mess and didn't know what to do, so she tried to change the topic.

Nicole went on to chat with Avery about what happened today before hanging up the phone. Then, Kerr walked in.

"Why haven't you gone to bed?" Kerr took off his watch from his wrist and put it on the night stand.

"You know what? Zachary’s wedding is cancelled." She thought of what Kerr had said the other day, and she realized that he had guessed it right. Zachary and Avery still couldn't be together in the end.

"I heard, but it makes sense," Kerr replied with a nod. Zachary was not decisive enough. He loved Avery in silence for so many years, but he still failed to win her heart. How could he cross the line just because of a sex impulse?

"What a pity." She put her arms around Kerr's waist and looked a little sleepy. She was a little tired today, so she felt relieved to finally be able to nestle onto Kerr.

"They will figure it out one day." When Kerr turned around, Nicole had already closed her eyes and she was leaning against him like a lovely cat. With a smile on his face, he gazed lovingly at her.

He carried Nicole into the bathroom and bathed her to make her sleep more comfortably.

After carefully wiping her hair with a towel, Kerr stood up. He had a feeling that Jay would finish the work soon, and as he had expected, when he walked out of the room,

Jay was holding the stuff above his head, showing his work off to Kerr.

"It's so ugly." The entire robot had a metallic color. And although it had a perfect structure, it didn’t look artistic at all.

Jay’s heart sank. As a matter of fact, he also knew that it didn't look nice, but he could not think of any way to make it better.

"Go to Harley tomorrow. He can help you," Kerr said calmly.

His words gave Jay a glimmer of hope.

"Really?" Although he was asking him, Jay had already believed what Kerr had said before he could answer.

"It's time for you to go to bed," Kerr reminded Jay as he looked at the time on the clock. He shouldn't stay up late as it was bad for his health.

Hearing this, Jay nodded and turned around to leave. All of a sudden, he seemed to think of something and said, "Thank you."

With that, he ran back to his room.

The corners of Kerr's mouth lifted up into a smile, but he didn't say anything. He glanced at the messy desk and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he just turned around and went back to Nicole, wrapping his arms around her before going to sleep.

Since Nicole slept late the night before, by the time she woke up the next day, it was almost noon.

"Mommy, if you don't get up, we will be late and my little sister will be hungry," Jay called out. It was still early, but he had already begun to worry.

Nicole sat up and noticed that Kerr wasn’t around, but she didn’t give it much thought. "Are you really worried that your little sister will be hungry, or are you worried that you will miss Callie's birthday party?"

She deliberately made fun of Jay. The truth was, she was very happy that he could have a playmate. Jay was so clever that he would often feel alienated from other children, so Nicole had always wanted him to make more friends.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
