The Reunion After Seven Years Chapter 166 I Didn't Hide It From You

Yet Nicole didn't question it. After all, the people here were all arranged by Kerr, so there must be no
problem.

"I don't want the bitter taste in my mouth. Can you bring me some fruit too?"

She smiled politely to the butler.

Hesitatingly, the butler looked at Nicole and then at Kerr, who was still on the balcony in a phone call.
Glancing back at her, he nodded and left the room afterward.

At that same moment, Nicole reached out for the pill and frowned before she made up her mind.

Putting down his phone, Kerr turned around and saw Nicole drinking a glass of water. He started to
walk towards her and, when near, he caressed her long hair.

"Are you feeling better?"

Nicole put down the glass and nodded at Kerr with a smile. In fact, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
After throwing up, she felt invigorated.

Looking outside, Nicole realized the day was beautiful.

She held his hand and said, "Let's go out for a walk. We can't just stay in bed the whole day."

Nicole knew that her health and overall well-being would always be Kerr's main priority, but she wasn't
feeling ill at the moment.

When he saw the excitement on her face, he didn't have the heart to disappoint her, so he nodded.

"Ok, but if you feel sick, you must let me know. I'll go out with you more often in the future. There's no
need to rush it, do you understand?"



Kerr didn't want her to overextend herself, but he also realized that maybe he hadn't spent much time
with her in the past. Therefore, now she was looking forward to the opportunity to go out together.

Considering this, he planned to spend more time with her in the future. For that day, however, they
would go for a short stroll on the beach.

It was already dusk when they got there. The sun wasn't as hot as it was in the middle of the day, and
the sea also blew a cool breeze against their faces. Yet Nicole seemed cozy in her large sun hat.

"Kerr, we're not here just to relax, right? What are you keeping from me?"

Nicole was not a fool. She had noticed the stern look on Kerr's face while he was on the phone.
Besides, they had just come from a confrontation with the Gu family. It was too much of a critical time
for Kerr to be absent from the Gu Group deliberately.

So as she knew Kerr very well, she assumed he must be taking this opportunity away from everything
to create a plan. She just wished he would tell her what he had in mind.

Perhaps she wouldn't be of much help, but she wanted him to understand that she could at least fight
alongside with him.

Still, Nicole's sharp remark put a smile on Kerr's face. He knew he wouldn't manage to hide his intent
from her for long. She was too clever. He just didn't want her to worry about him.

"I can't hide anything from you, can I? But don't worry about it. I'll handle everything and then take you
and Jay away from here and the Gu family."

With an arm around Nicole's shoulder, Kerr looked into the distance. He hoped to find the person he
was searching for as soon as possible, so he could get rid of the Gu family once and for all.



"Can't you tell me what it is that you're planning? I'll be with you no matter what happens. I've chosen
you and I won't give up easily."

Nicole turned and looked at him with longing and sincere eyes. She wanted to make him understand
how much she was determined to be with him.

"I didn't mean to hide anything from you. I just didn't want you to worry about me. Anyway, do you
remember Moore Gu? You saw him at the celebration party. He replaced you in the Gu Group.

But it's not just your position that he's after. He wants total control over the Gu Group."

Kerr's face contorted slightly with scorn. Whenever he thought about Moore's ambition, he just couldn't
understand how an adopted child turned out to be so arrogant. Maybe Jack's support was the reason
of Moore's confidence and arrogance.

"Since he came to the Gu family, he has wanted to replace me, and my father has always indulged it."

Nicole raised her eyebrows in surprise. Indeed, when she was at the celebration party, she had noticed
that Kerr didn't have a good relationship with either Jack or Freya. They were even rather indifferent
towards one another that day.

And now, although Kerr called Jack his father, it felt more like a statement than a term of endearment.
Nicole couldn't understand how Kerr and his parents became so estranged if he was their only son.

Sensing the question forming in Nicole's mind, Kerr smiled faintly and gave her an answer before she
could even ask it.

"Strange, right? I'm the Gu family's legitimate son, but my status is threatened now by an adopted
child."



Kerr leaned over and gently placed a kiss on Nicole's forehead. He seemed calm, almost as if he didn't
care about any of it, but deep inside, only he knew how it felt.

"When Moore moved to the Gu family house, I was very young. But later, I found out why my father had
suddenly decided to adopt a child. It was because he thought that Moore was also his son. One who
was born out of wedlock.

He thought no one would figure this out. But this wasn't a secret so hard to guess. I found it out a long
time ago and never gave a chance for Moore to get in the Gu Group."

Nicole looked up at Kerr. He seemed relaxed, but she couldn't help frowning and feeling sorry for him.
This man in front of her was completely different from the one she had conceived in her mind before.

She used to think that Kerr was a God-blessed child who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Through his wealth and influential family legacy, it seemed that Kerr had everything that others could
ever wish for in the world.

But now she realized that Kerr had also felt helpless. And this wasn't something he could change or
have control over.

"You said he thought Moore was his son. Why? Isn't Moore actually Jack's son?"

Kerr's choice of words didn't pass her, so she asked him curiously.

"Nicole, as I've said before, you're too clever. You heard it right. I had someone looking into this matter
and found out that my father does have a bastard son, but he's not Moore.

It seems that Moore and this child came around the same time to the orphanage. Moore was mistaken
for the other child and brought to the Gu family by accident. At first, Moore didn't know about it.



But later, by chance, he found this out and took advantage of what he thinks our father owns him in
order to grant his place in the Gu Group."
