MY CEO DADDY

Her mind was unclear, but with everything that had happened, she couldn't admit her feelings for him. She refused to admit anything. She barricaded herself well for so long. A seedling of doubt in her heart couldn't break that down so easily. Right?

"Mr. Gu, you are thinking too much. We are both adults. You were drugged and had no control over your actions, it was all an accident. There's no need to take it seriously. I won't, and I believe you won't either, right?"

She propped herself up to get out of the bed, but Kerr stopped her.

He put his hand on her shoulder, leaned forward and looked at her with firm eyes.

"Nicole, look into my eyes and tell me you don't love me!"

He knew that Nicole was avoiding his question. Anyone could see that she had her own worries, but what could it possibly be? Was it Jay? Baron? Or perhaps someone, or maybe something else, that he wasn't aware of?

"Couldn't you at least give me an answer?"

"I..." Her voice trailed off. Looking at Kerr's affectionate eyes, she felt a little guilty. She couldn't even say that she didn't love him without hesitation. She simply looked away.

She didn't know how to face Kerr. She didn't even know the depth of his emotions, let alone whether or not they were true. She knew it was a hole she wouldn't be able to get herself out of if she was in too deep. Unlike Kerr, she was naive, and she couldn't make herself too vulnerable.

So if this was or wasn't a trap, she wasn't going to sink into it.

"Mr. Gu, there's nothing else to it. I just wanted to thank you for what you've done for Jay. I don't want to see you be set up. That's all."

Nicole didn't look at Kerr. She simply replied as calmly as she could and tried to squash her emotions deep down.

"Director Ning, you are so kind. It seems that I have seen things in a way I shouldn't have. Don't worry, I will compensate you for what happened last night. As long as Director Ning asks, I will grant it, you have my word."

He released her arm and lay beside her, and stared at the

n the past seven years, she didn't know how many women Kerr had, and he even forgot her.

But now when she looked at Kerr, she realized that she had already let him enter her heart.

Closing her eyes, she didn't want to let herself overthink. For now, she'd let her guard down for a bit. She slowly leaned against Kerr. Perhaps this was the last time she got so close to him.

Pathetically, when she found that she was in love with Kerr, she had already decided to leave him.

As the night fell, the woman in his arms had disappeared when he opened his eyes, just like what the woman from seven years ago did. He felt a loss in his heart.

Except this time, there was nothing left on the night table. By instinct, he thought of Nicole as the lost girl from seven years ago.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so tired?"

Baron looked at Nicole in the car. Obviously, she looked tired. She didn't have a good rest and seemed to be in a very low mood.

"No, I'm just a little bit busy with my work recently. How about you? The bidding is approaching. Have you decided on your wedding date yet?"

She decided to avoid talking about her current state and turned to look at her friend to direct some questions about his life.

Again, she ran away from Kerr. She didn't know how to face him when he woke up, as she didn't know how to face her heart.
