Chapter 129 His Surprise
Staring at Kerr's back, Nicole opened her mouth to say something but changed her mind on second thought.
She knew he was trying hard to love her the right way and couldn't ignore how much he had changed for her. It was breaking her heart at the thought of having to let go of him.
But after a whole day, she hadn't come up with a solution.
"What's wrong?"
Kerr turned to Nicole with a loving look in his eyes.
Nicole reached out and put her arms around Kerr's middle, hugging him close to her.
"I just want to hug you."
She wanted to pour her heart and tell Kerr everything but knew that certain things were better if kept from him.
Kerr could see right through her. Yet he just held her back without questioning what was troubling her.
"I want to take you somewhere."
Kerr lifted Nicole into his arms and led her straight to the car. Once he had her placed on the passenger's seat, he went around the vehicle and got in the driver's seat. Then, he took off from the hospital.
"Where are we going? Jay is still in the hospital."
Although Nicole was worried about Jay, she also didn't want to turn Kerr down.
"Jared will take care of him."
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other intertwined with Nicole's, Kerr had a gentle look on his face.
It was quickly getting dark outside when Nicole looked around the road. Despite the awfully quiet streets, she couldn't see much nor tell where they were.
Even so, she wasn't worried since she had Kerr by her side.
All of a sudden, the lights on both sides of the road turned on each at a time as if they could detect their passing car. Slowly, the whole night lit up for them.
As if she was in the middle of a spec
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.
ked over, watching her with a faint smile.
"Is this your idea of how a man proposes to a woman? In fact, I don't think you plan to marry me at all like this."
Nicole glared at Kerr, looking a little disappointed.
There were at least hundreds of bottles in that beach, how could she ever find the right one?
"I'll ask someone to get them out of the water so you can bring them home and take your time looking for it."
Kerr raised his hand to stroke her long hair, his eyes ever so cunning.
Nicole turned her gaze towards the sea once more. With her expression suddenly locking down, she couldn't help but feel that her journey with Kerr was as challenging as finding the right bottle amongst hundreds.
Even though she would take all the bottles for herself, it wouldn't be an easy task to find the one she wanted.
"Are you having second thoughts because of the challenge?"
Without concealing the hint of provocation from his voice, Kerr reached out to put an arm around her shoulders.
"What are you implying? That I'm easy to scare? I just don't see how any of this is fair. It feels like I'm begging you to marry me."
