Chapter 243 Neither Humble Nor Proud

Kerr looked at his parents coldly. He didn't give the slightest damn about Sunny. As long as she didn't
come to hurt Nicole, it was all the same to him, as if Sunny didn't exist.

Freya felt she couldn't stand up to Kerr, who looked perfectly calm and collected. So instead, she
turned her eyes to Nicole behind him.

"Tell me! How did you play this dirty trick? You must have hidden Sunny somewhere! Don't you know
that she's pregnant now? If anything happens to her, you'll be held accountable for it!"

Freya believed that Kerr was always a smart kid. In her heart, she blamed Nicole for making Kerr lose
his good sense.

Freya couldn't accept the idea that Nicole was really innocent, because Sunny's absence made it
possible for Nicole to become the bride.

Kerr was about to speak up for Nicole, but he felt Nicole suddenly tighten her grip on his hand.

Nicole gently pulled Kerr's hand until he turned around to look at her, and she smiled at him, indicating
that he didn't need to shield her from Freya.

Then, she confronted Freya standing opposite her.

"Customarily, I should call you 'Mother', but I know you wouldn't like it. Today is a happy day, and I don't
want to upset you, so I think I'd better call you Mrs. Freya Gu,"

Nicole said calmly, as if she was invulnerable to Freya's accusations.

"Mrs. Freya Gu, you keep accusing me of taking Sunny away. Do you have any evidence of that?
Kidnapping is a serious crime, and I'm not that stupid. If you don't have any evidence, please don't talk
such nonsense here.



You are Kerr‘s mother, after all. I won’t sue you for slander, but your behavior here could damage your
own reputation after the news leaks out."

The anger on Freya‘s face didn't intimidate Nicole the least bit. Nicole maintained her calm, with an
attitude that was neither humble nor proud.

Kerr's promise to her gave her the courage she needed, so she didn't shrink back. She was destined to
marry Kerr and she would never give him to anyone else.

Nicole's defiance put Freya at a momentary loss for words. She had no evidence, after all.

She had only her suspicions.

Nicole's eloquence was intimidating. Moore was about to speak, but he held his tongue when he saw
Nicole turn her gaze to him.

"Mr. Moore Gu, do you have something to say? Are you going to tell everybody that you saw me
approaching Sunny on the sly? The date of this wedding was decided a long time ago.

I'm just a woman. If I wanted to get close to her in a wedding dress at a time like this, others would
have noticed.

It would be the most ridiculous story in the world. Why do you always bump into me when something
happens, anyway?"

She still remembered the time when Moore had seen Kerr in his drugged condition, but had done
nothing to stop him from approaching Sunny. He was clearly a devious and untrustworthy man.

Not to mention the time when Kerr was in a coma and Moore made problems for her in the Gu Group.



She was a broad-minded person, but she was also not a pushover. She didn't want to give anyone a
hard time, but she couldn't let anyone make trouble for her without retaliation.

Moore looked uncomfortable in the face of Nicole's challenge.

"You must be joking, Nicole." Moore wanted to say something to her, but he knew it would be pointless,
because it was obvious that Kerr had many people on his side.

"The idea is really absurd. If you really saw it happen, you would have stopped me. After all, you really
want Miss He to marry into the Gu family, don't you?"

She knew that Moore was always backing Sunny.

And then Nicole remembered how Moore had planned to kill the baby in her belly. The thought of it sent
a shiver down her spine. She instinctively put her hand on her lower abdomen.

Moore and Freya fell silent after that.

"Nicole Ning, whether you had anything to do with Sunny‘s disappearance or not, this wedding should
never have happened. The Gu family will not accept this marriage, and you should never have
dreamed of marrying into this family."

With that said, Jack cast a meaningful look at Kerr and said, "You are an adult now, so you will bear the
consequences of what you have done."

The threat contained in Jack's words was obvious to everyone.

Jack then turned around and left the church in fury. With a smug smile on his face, Moore leered at
Nicole and left with Jack.



Only Freya lingered behind, still facing Kerr. Observing his defiant look, she could only sigh softly and
say, "Kerr, you are too impulsive."

She could never image that Kerr would come to this point for Nicole's sake.

Then she looked at Nicole.

"Soon you will see what a muddle Kerr is in because of you. If you can still remain with him without any
qualms of conscience, then I will really doubt your love for Kerr."

Freya had tried almost everything to drive them apart, including bribes and threats, but to no avail.
Nicole was still with Kerr.

But Nicole didn’t care what Freya said. Her highest priority from that day forth was to make Kerr feel
happy.

At last, Freya turned away and left. Everyone felt relieved to see the back of Freya.

"Nicole, don't pay attention to what she said." Kerr gazed at her dotingly and wrapped his arm around
her waist.

Nicole nodded simply.

She heard something sliding down towards her. When she raised her head, she saw a huge balloon
coming down from the ceiling of the hall.

"Was it you who prepared this surprise?" Nicole turned her head to look at him, but he looked very
serious.

As the balloon approached, Kerr looked at it warily and pulled Nicole into his arms.



Both Harley and Zachary were puzzled. This was not prepared by either of them. That strange balloon
held everyone's attention.

Nicole lowered her head and hid her face in Kerr's chest, hands protecting her belly.

She knew that if Kerr hadn't arranged it, something was wrong.
