My CEO Daddy

Chapter 132 No Birthday For Seven Years

Kerr's voice drew Nicole back to reality. She wiped the tears from her eyes and turned around. She looked at him calmly, but the sorrow in her eyes could not be hidden.

"You knew about my family background from early on?"

Nicole knew that Kerr would investigate her, and that he would find out everything about her. What was more, she knew that what Kerr had done today was all to cheer her up, but she felt sorry that his effort would be in vain. She couldn't be happy no matter how she tried.

Kerr walked to her and took both her hands in his.

"I know, so I knew what you wanted. I'll give you anything you want."

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he seemed to see more despair than happiness in Nicole's face. He didn't know what had gone wrong.

"What I want… I want my father to come back to life. I want the Ning family to remain happy. I want all the terrible things to be nothing more than a nightmare. Can you do that, Kerr?"

Nicole pulled her hands from Kerr's grasp.

She knew that it was unfair to blame Kerr. Standing in the former villa of the Ning family again and seeing that nothing had changed around her, she knew despite this that things had changed here.

No matter how powerful and influential Kerr was, it was impossible to turn back time. She was expecting of him to accomplish the impossible.

"Nicole... What's wrong?"

If he hadn't noticed how peculiar Nicole was behaving, he didn't deserve to love her at all.

But he couldn't understand why she looked so sad.

"I'm sorry. I'm letting you down, but I just want to be alone."

Feeling inconsolable, Nicole looked down to cover her sadness and tried to avoid looking into Kerr's searching eyes.

She turned around and was about to walk upstairs when Kerr pulled her into his arms from behind.

"Nicole, tell me what happened?"

He was aware that the Ning Group had gone bankrupt seven years ago, the villa of the Ning family had b

married her stepmother and had already had Bonnie, he had never lacked in his care for her.

He had even ensured a bright future for her with all his savings before dying.

Looking at Nicole's sad face, Kerr bent down, put his arm around her shoulders, and looked at her with concern.

"Stand up. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Hearing his voice, Nicole stood up and silently gazed at the tombstone for a long time. The dim light gleamed off a fresh white chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone. Nicole knew that it had been sent by Bonnie.

Even though Bonnie had claimed that her father had doted on Nicole only, she still missed her father. Nicole leaned on Kerr, and they left the cemetery.

"How did you know I wanted to go to the cemetery?"

Nicole looked at Kerr, and she suddenly felt relieved at having finally faced what she previously couldn't.

It turned out that she could let go of the past in the end. Thinking of Kerr's thoughtfulness, she felt a little guilty.

After all, she had ignored Kerr's good will. In fact, Kerr had just wanted to give her a happy birthday, however, she didn't intend to let him down.

"If I couldn't have read your mind, I didn't deserve to be with you. Nicole, remember, there are many things in this world that we have no choice over."
