My CEO Daddy

Angering the woman would be unwise for Vedder.

Eyes following his mother's back disappearing into the bathroom, Jay looked pensive.

"Uncle Gu, don't scare Mommy. She looks strong, but she is also very fragile,"

he said, turning to look at Kerr with the most earnest look he could muster.

"I know."

Nicole's wariness didn't escape his eyes. Swirling the wine gently in his glass, Kerr took a sip.

The wine tasted sweet, but not as sweet as Nicole.

"What do you think of living here with your mommy in the future?"

The idea ran through Kerr's mind for quite a while now, and he couldn't let go of it. The thought of the possibility that it could happen made him happy.

Looking at the boy sitting across him, he knew the likelihood of this outcome.

"What good does it do to me?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Jay liked Kerr, a lot. He would be over the moon if his mother and Uncle Gu got together,

but it didn't mean that he'd let her do something she wouldn't want to do. He would never do that.

"How does it benefit me?" Jay asked again. "I can't sell my mommy out like that, not to mention that I've done nothing but help you and try to push you both in that direction, and yet you still haven't won her heart. I'm starting to doubt you, Uncle. I'm seriously thinking of dropping it," he added.

No matter how much he supported Kerr, his mother's happiness was his top priority.

Jay raised his eyebrows doubtfully at Kerr. He had a delicate face with intense maturity.

"You can get what you want on the third floor."

Kerr was unmoved by the boy's query. There was no doubt that Nicole would eventually marry him sooner or later. He would see to it that it would be done.

"OK. I wish you success!"

Jay winked at Kerr. Although he hadn't seen anything what the man prepared for him, he trusted Kerr from the bottom of his heart. And what he said a moment ago was meant to make Kerr wary more than anything.

In the washroom, Nico

ause he knew his mother well and knew that she was serious. He secretly stole a glance at Kerr.

Hearing Baron's name caused the expression on Kerr's face to darken.

He had been doubting what Baron said, but every time he did, Nicole would remind him of the truth.

"A call from Mr. Fang? Aren't you worried you will disturb him?"

Kerr couldn't accept this. She was shutting him out again. All the progress he had made with her would be for nothing. He found it greatly upsetting that Baron would come to pick them up. He didn't like where any of this was going.

The anger on his face was clear as day.

"No, it's not what you think. Baron is supposed to pick us up today. But something came up in their company that he had to deal with, so he couldn't. Jay and I should get going soon. We won't disturb you in the future, Mr. Gu."

Nicole turned to look at Kerr, with determination in her eyes.

She couldn't cower in fear of Kerr anymore, she should face this head on.

When he saw the look on her face, Kerr's anger heightened.

He held the goblet with all his strength and it shattered to pieces in his hand.

The dark red transparent liquid spilled out and glass fragments directly pierced into Kerr's thumb. Before the blood flowed, he hid his injured hand under the table.
