My CEO Daddy

Now it was up to him to find her. He was on his own.

"Aren't you busy today?"

Nicole held Jay's hand. She slowly walked towards Baron and climbed into his car.

Looking at the slightly unnatural side face of Nicole, Baron was a little confused and asked casually,

"What happened to your face? Are you hot?"

The whole day had gone by. The heavy makeup slid off her face, and the injured side was a little reddish.

"Oh, that! Don't worry about that. Just a little bite from a dog I encountered."

Nicole glowered at Baron shortly and then turned to look at Jay in the back seat breaking into a sycophantic smile.

"The sandwich made by Jay is amazingly lip smacking. Mommy has not eaten enough yet.

Someone grabbed one from me."

Jay looked away instantly and refused to pay any attention to such conversations.

Humph! He could not forget at any cost that his stupid mother even let her get hurt. He still had a lot to ask and discuss with his mother. Just because he did not mention it did not mean that it was no more on his mind. Now that she was discovered by Baron, she tried to fool him too.

She didn't take him seriously at all. It was evident from the attitude!

"You can eat two at a time. But remember if you eat too much at once, you might end up having a stomachache or even get sick," Jay said.

She would often have an upset stomach, so Jay made it a point to control her diet all the time.

It'd already a very difficult task for a six-year-old child to be able to be self-disciplined. However, when he looked at Nicole, he knew that she too was his responsibility no matter the age.

"Don't think that I will be flattered by these unnecessary compliments! I am really angry right now!"

"How about I cook your favorite braised fish tomorrow? Will you quit being so annoyed with me?"

Nicole frowned and made a funny expression . She tried to make the situation as light as possible, but he wasn't up for all these at the moment.

"A gentleman never bends his back for a bushel of rice. Don't try to allure me like this."

The exchange turned out to be extremely hilarious to Baron. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hahaha!" Baron finally burst out catching for breath.

The mother-son duo amazed him beyond limits. It was as if there was a role reversal and one would doubt as to who was who!

"Don't laugh at me," Nicole snapped.

Nicole was pretty much tired with all that coaxing, so she temporarily gave up on trying to persuade Jay and apologizing. It seemed that she would have to be taught by her son when she returned home.

When other children were receiving their parents' education, the situation was opposite here. Nicole had already started to accept the education of Jay.

Girls cannot come home late and that would put them in danger. This was what Jay had told Nicole.

She felt upset thinking what lesson she would get from Jay this time.

"What mistake did you make again?"

In Manhattan, Baron had been the direct witness of this for a number of years. Even today it was still the same.

"Well, it's a long story. Don't laugh at me. You'll know when you have your own child, I am sure."

When she looked out of the window, she just smiled proudly. Anyway, it was not the first time that she was laughed at by Baron, so she was habituated to this. She was so talented that she gave birth to a gifted child.

He stopped laughing and shrugged his shoulders as if he could not care any less. There must be few pairs of mother and son in the world that could be as odd as Nicole and Jay.

"How is the Gu Group treating you? Have you adapted yourself to the new ways of life after returning from abroad?"

Baron always kept Nicole in his thoughts and was worried, but he knew that she was an optimistic and hopeful person. She would do everything she wanted to do and let nothing stop her. He knew this from the moment when she had chosen the Gu Group instead of his Fang Group as she didn't want to rely on him under any circumstance.

"Yes, eve

rything always goes well with me. It is just that I don't have time to accompany Jay nowadays."

If she had been aware of the fact that Kerr was the biological father of Jay, she would rather owe Baron one than work in the Gu Group. But if she left the company without permission, it would arise undue suspicions in Kerr.

Stealing a quick glance at Nicole, Baron felt that she had something in her mind, so he just pretended to not care about it much.

"Gu Group's development is indeed a little better than Fang Group. From the time when Kerr took over the company, Gu Group has been transformed and it has seen a new direction. Even I have to admire Kerr Gu's relentless efforts that are proving effective for the company."

The legendary experience of Kerr had been spread throughout the whole city. Not that it was secret, but he preferred to stay away from media most of the time, so very few people had actually seen him.

"Is Kerr really that remarkable and extraordinary? The Gu Group is a family business with a long running history in the city. It should not come to you as a surprise that it has such a large scale now."

Nicole didn't know all these details about Gu Group on purpose, rather she had just measured the prospect of the Gu Group. She was a little surprised when she heard all these positive comments on Kerr from Baron.

She knew that Baron was always modest about such things.

"You know what's more, it is said that when the Gu family goes to Kerr's generation, he is the only child who could take the business forward. And he is extremely gifted in business, so he is particularly outstanding and is definitely a towering personality."

Sitting silently on the back seat, Jay wrote down Kerr's name without either Nicole or Baron noticing him.

He had never ever seen or met someone as powerful as Kerr in his world. The deepest wish of his heart was to become a powerful man so that he could be the sole protector of Nicole.

This was the only way he thought in which he could find his father and demand answers for abandoning his dear mother.

His instincts told him that his father had to be a person who was in an extremely powerful position, because he was convinced that his level of high intelligence could not be inherited from Nicole in any way.

"Maybe. When I met him in person, I never realized that he was a legend. He was just a cold man with no expression at all," Nicole said.

Whenever she could remember that impassive face of Kerr, she couldn't help shivering. She always prayed in her heart that Jay wouldn't be like Kerr ever.

The three of them bought a lot of things from the supermarket. It was pretty late by then. Baron took Jay and Nicole to eat outside before he sent them back to the apartment for the night.

Baron waited for Nicole to switch off the light in her room. Once she did so he slowly drove away. He left without saying what he wanted to.

Jared was standing beside Kerr. The phone finally rang in his hand.

When Nicole left the Gu Group, Kerr ordered Jared to let the bodyguard of her apartment report to him once Nicole arrived at her apartment. He had waited for the news till now.

Although Kerr didn't say anything out loud, Jared could feel his boss's stinging silence all around. This made him hold his breath and become extremely tense.

After hanging up, Jared quickly opened his mouth to say something.

"Mr. Gu, Director Ning is back in her apartment. She was escorted by Baron Fang from Fang Group."

Karr raised his head and took a look at his watch. 'It's half past eight, not too late, just with Baron?' he thought to himself.

"According to the information you had given me, Nicole is not supposed to know Baron," said Karr.

The calm and collected voice almost sounded like a threat to Jared. He felt his legs becoming paralyzed. Nervously he blurted out immediately,

"Baron and Director Ning met each other when they were studying in Manhattan. They were classmates at that time."
