My CEO Daddy

When Kerr saw the distant and cautious expression on Nicole's face, he couldn’t help but feel upset about it. He tried to hold her in his arms again, but she quickly dodged his attempts.

"Nicole, why don't you trust me?"

He was already aware that Nicole tended to be stubborn. His scandal with Sunny also didn't help; it was probably imprinted in Nicole's mind. Even though he couldn't explain everything to her yet, he still didn't want her to push him away.

Despite hearing Kerr's question, Nicole still didn't look up at him. She just raised her hand to her cheeks to wipe away the remaining tears and took a deep breath, as if she was trying to gather the courage to look at him in the eye.

"What do you want me to believe, Mr. Gu? Do you expect me to believe that nothing happened between you and Sunny? Even if you were innocent in this, it is obvious that you cannot deny your relationship with Sunny to the public. You can't even explain anything to me. If it was really nothing, you wouldn't have let the rumors go for this long," she explained to him.

"But what did you do? What else did you do besides telling me repeatedly to trust you? Be honest with me. You and Sunny are meant to be together, right?" she asked.

"You can't change the relationship, can you?"

Nicole's voice was calm. Recently, she found out many things that she wished hadn't. Admittedly, she was angry when she found out those things but eventually, she calmed down.

She wanted to believe in Kerr but she knew in her heart that she shouldn't dare. The more she gave herself time to think about it, the clearer everything became for her. She couldn't afford to entangle herself with Kerr and his life. It was just too complicated. Someone more powerful was probably behind Kerr.

She didn't want to be someone who would depend so much on Kerr. She wasn't that kind of person.

"Nicole, please just give me some time. I promise I will take care of it."

If he were being honest, Kerr was pretty surprised at how calm Nicole looked while they talked. He didn't expect that she would see the situation clearly.

However, he knew that this was a defense mechanism for Nicole so she could protect herself and Jay from any more pain. All these years, Nicole had done everything by herself. She had to remain strong for both her

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

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.

was getting more and more cheerful every day. Nicole had brought the files of the bidding project to the hospital so that she could properly take care of Jay and finish her work too.

A few days later, Nicole felt exhausted from the workload. However, Kerr made it clear that the work must be done by her and he had no intention of handing it over to any other employee. So, she continued to work. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Thankfully, Avery often visited to help her take care of her son. It gave Nicole the chance to rest and not feel overwhelmed by her tasks. It was a big help.

"Godmother, when will I get better? Mommy is so tired!"

Jay paid close attention to Nicole and her well-being; he felt bad for her. He was sad that he couldn't do anything but lie on the bed.

"Soon. As long as you take your medicine when you're supposed to, you will get better in no time! Then you can do anything you want. Tell me, what do you want to do when you get out of here?"

With the soup in her hand, Avery patiently fed the boy bit by bit and conversed with him. Avery found Jay very adorable; she was happy that she was his godmother. It was the first time that Avery felt good about taking care of a child.

For so long, she used to think that having a child was troublesome. They were messy and loud. However, now, she realized that it wasn't that bad.

"I want a laptop, if possible," he answered.

Stuck in a hospital bed, he had limited access to any type of news. He was eager to find out if the problem that he had caused Kerr had already been fixed or not.
