My CEO Daddy
Chapter 65 Soul Mate

"I believe he may have already given up. He hasn't tried to bother me again these past few days, which comes as no surprise. He's the CEO of the Gu Group, after all. How could he ever be truly interested in someone like me?"

There was a sadness in Nicole's voice that she didn't realize. She should've been glad Kerr wasn't insisting on chasing her, but she couldn't.

He was a man full of himself, who wasn't used to anyone standing up to him, and he would never replace out what cherishing meant as long as everyone was so disposable to him. Perhaps this was the side effect of having all things coming too easy in hand.

"Are you disappointed?"

Baron's smile fell as his eyes became watchful of Nicole.

His main concern didn't belong to Kerr's desires, but if Nicole had fallen in love with him before she could even realize it herself.

This was the real danger.

"No, don't talk nonsense. This is exactly what I want. I'd be overjoyed if Kerr announced the news of his marriage right now!"

Nicole raised her voice in an attempt to suffocate her uneasiness.

"I hope so."

Baron really wanted to believe her words, but he couldn't help but notice what she was trying to hide. He parked at the entrance of the Fang Group's hotel as two members of the staff were promptly at each side of the vehicle's doors, opening them.

Nicole walked to Baron and held her arm to his.

Baron smiled to the gesture. When they were about to step inside the hotel, he heard a clear female voice calling his name.

"Baron?"

Maggie Chen was getting out of the car when she saw a familiar figure. Uncertain, she called out for him to be sure.

Nicole and Baron stopped and turned around to see Maggie Chen. She walked towards them wearing a white short designed dress as her well-groomed wavy hair fell like cascades ov

in a tough position. And she wasn't wrong.

"I've already found my soul mate—Miss Nicole Ning."

Baron stretched out his hand and pointed to Nicole. All of a sudden, every head in the room was following his gesture, causing a bunch of pairs of eyes to fall on her.

Nicole was astonished at first, unable to react, but as soon as she realized that all of those guests were watching her, she managed to force a smile. Glancing at Baron, she made sure he would see the hint of threat in her eyes.

For countless times she had already cursed Baron inside her mind, and yet she still couldn't believe how far he had gone to use her as his shield.

As everyone looked at her awaiting her reaction, Nicole had no clue what to say. But before that moment could drag on much longer, she jolted when a pair of soft hands unexpectedly wrapped around her legs.

"Mommy!"

Dressed in a small size tuxedo, Jay came running from the lounge. He had been there the whole time. The boy was only allowed in the party after Baron's speech, so he had no idea what had been said before his entrance.

He had been looking for Nicole, but he was caught by surprise when he saw everyone standing still while staring at his mother.
