The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 190 I'm Getting Married

Resting her elbow on the armrest linked to the car door, Nicole brought a hand to her forehead.

These past few days felt like a lifetime for Nicole.

When Baron heard her tired voice, he knew that between confronting the Gu family and investigating the bankruptcy of Ning Group, Nicole was having a hard time since she started seeing Kerr.

He could sense that Nicole was no longer the carefree girl who went to the university with him. She had grown up, but he had nothing to do with her change.

"Is it Kerr’s baby?" Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear it from her. It seemed this was the only way for him to give up nurturing any hope.

Nicole turned her head and met Baron's eyes. "Since you already know the answer to that, why do you ask? What's wrong with you? You're so different today." Nicole looked at him with a frown and noticed a dazzling light reflecting in his eyes.

By the time she averted her gaze from Baron and glanced at the opposite side of the road, she understood what was happening. Immediately, Nicole reached out for the steering wheel and changed its course.

The silver Rolls Royce almost crashed with the truck coming on the other side, but Nicole was able to act in time to avoid an accident. When the danger was gone, she was left sweating in panic for what could have happened. If it hadn't been for her quick reaction, they would have been dead now.

"Are you crazy? Baron! I'm carrying an innocent life inside of me. Did you want me and my baby to die with you?" Once the car had stopped, Nicole was so angry that she couldn't help accusing Baron.

Then, she immediately left the vehicle and stood by the side of the road with a frown.

Baron remained in the driver's seat, looking at the angry expression on Nicole's face. That moment in which he saw the truck lights, he really thought about leaving this world with Nicole. It would be a sad yet beautiful ending for him.

Or at least, he would have been with her.

Nicole turned around and looked at Baron in a daze inside the car. Still frowning, she asked, "What's the matter with you, Baron? If you don't tell me, I'll leave now."

She knew that Baron would definitely tell her if she threatened to leave him.

Getting out of the car, Baron walked up to Nicole and grabbed her wrist. "Nicole, stay with me tonight. I don't want to be alone." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Baron realized that he might not be able to spend time with Nicole like this anymore. Despite always telling himself that he should forget about his feelings for her, he never managed to reach his goal.

Embarrassed, Nicole freed her wrist from Baron's grasp as she looked at him with concern. "What happened, Baron? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

If possible, she would help him fix whatever was bothering him, but Baron knew there was nothing she could do about what he needed to face.

Staring at Nicole's red lips, Baron rested his hands on her shoulders and leaned forward, wanting to kiss her.

When she noticed what Baron was doing, she turned her head to avoid him and pushed him away. In the car, she had smelled the alcohol on him.

As far as she remembered, Baron had never got drunk before. In fact, he had told her that he liked to keep sober so he was always ready to make the right decisions.

At that memory, Nicole raised a hand and slapped him on the cheek with no hesitation.

Baron's face shifted to the right, but he didn't get angry. All in all, the corners of his lips tipped into a smirk.

"Did that wake you up?" Nicole stared at him sternly. She had come with Baron because she took him as a friend and was worried about him. But she would never allow him to cross the line.

Since she had chosen Kerr, she would be loyal to him. Whether he woke up or not, she would always be by his side no matter what.

Baron caressed the burning side of his face and turned his back to Nicole. Looking into the distance, he said, "Nicole, you know? I regret a lot not telling you how I felt when we first met.

I regret not seizing the opportunity when you were most vulnerable." If he could time travel, Baron wouldn't mind the existence of Jay. He would be satisfied as long as he had Nicole.

But because of his doubts, he had lost the right to be with her.

Nicole, on the other hand, didn't want to hear any of it. Since the very beginning, she had seen Baron only as a friend, and that was all they could have been.

"Baron, I've made up my mind. I'm with Kerr. No matter what happens, I won't leave him. I hope this is the last time you bring this subject up. If you're drunk, I'll drive you home."

She didn't want to give any hope to Baron. If she did so, it would only cause him more pain in the future.

Nicole turned around and walked towards the car, parked at the side of the road.

"I'm getting married," Baron said in a low voice without any hint of pleasure. A wedding was supposed to be good news, but it was a painful occurrence for him.

Nicole immediately stopped in her tracks and asked, "Are you getting married to Maggie Chen?" Nicole was familiar with Maggie's thoughts regarding Baron since the last time she saw her.

Therefore, if Baron was getting married to anyone, the bride must be Maggie.

Baron didn't answer her. Instead, he walked to his car and silently got in.

Nicole sat beside him and frowned. She knew he didn't love Maggie, but she tried to persuade him anyway, "Baron, no matter what happened in the past, if you've decided to marry her, please be loyal to your marriage."

She didn't know why Baron had suddenly decided to get married, but as long as he went through with it, he had no right to go back on his word afterward.

"I know. She is pregnant with my child. But do you know why?" Not sparing another glance towards her, Baron smiled wryly before he started the car. "Because I mistook her for you."

Baron would never forget the delight he felt when he thought that he was with Nicole. But then when he opened his eyes, he realized who was really beside him.
