Chapter 128 The More Suitable Successor
Kelvin bent slightly towards Sunny, and his face was composed with a respectful look.
"I'm sorry, Miss He. Mrs. Gu is out on business. I don't know when she'll return."
Sunny felt a little disappointed at hearing that. She looked at the villa and was filled with disappointment as she left.
On the second floor of the villa
Standing in front of the window and looking at the departing figure, Freya could not help but become gloomy. She lowered her head to examine the photo in her hand. If Kelvin hadn't told her that the child in the photo was called Jay Ning, she would have nearly believed that it was a photo taken of Kerr when he was a child.
"What are you doing?"
Jack's cold voice spoke up behind her. It seemed that Freya had become accustomed to it, since she did not turn around at all when she heard him.
"Forget about Kerr and that girl."
Freya knew that Kerr had a crush on Nicole, and she knew that Jack would certainly object. She hadn't really worried much about her son as a child, but this time she wanted to help Kerr to fulfill his dreams.
It was also because she didn't want Kerr to turn into a second Jack.
"Do you even know what you are saying?"
Looking at Freya's back, a trace of anger emerged on Jack's face. 'Why did Kerr go against my wishes? And now, will Freya also help Kerr to rebel?'
"You know better than me what I am talking about, Jack. You and I reached this point only because of a marriage certificate. You know very well that the so-called love and harmony that we show others is only a pretense.
I know that you have never loved me, not since the day you married me. You don't love anyone but yourself. I don't want Kerr to become a second you.
I have never ever disobeyed you. But this time, I will support Kerr. This is my gift to him as compensation for my dereliction and irresponsibility as his mother."
Freya turned around to look at him. They had been married for more than twenty years. It was the first time that they had spoken so honestly or lengthily in private.
"Nonsense. If Kerr dares to be with that woman,
pay to repair it. Or you can tell me how else I might compensate you?"
the man politely asked for suggestions from Nicole.
"No, it's not that serious. I have something to deal with, so I have to go now."
Nicole waved the matter off and was about to get back into her car, but as soon as the car started, she saw the man walking to her side. He tapped on her car window, and she had to roll down the window.
"Here is my phone number. If you have any problems, you can contact me at any time. I will really pay for any damages."
The man swiftly handed a silver business card to Nicole.
In fact, Nicole had no intention of holding the man responsible. But seeing that he was so serious, she accepted the business card, nodded to him, and then drove away.
Watching the car driving off, the man smiled.
When Nicole drove up to the hospital, she saw Kerr waiting at the door. She stopped the car and got out.
"Why didn't you go in?" she asked.
Kerr walked up to her, took her hand, and led her into the hospital.
"I was waiting for you."
His thin lips parted slightly. He said it as if it was a matter of course. He was always being waited on by others but after trying to wait patiently for Nicole, he finally understood the meaning of waiting.
Waiting on her was a mixture of nervousness, expectation, and deep concern.
It was bitter but also a little sweet.
"Kerr..."
