The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 283 Maggie's Jealousy

The door opened, and with black sunglasses perched on her nose, a woman, who wore a dark casual outfit, stepped out of the car. She stood in front of Nicole with a cold aura. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole eyed the woman intently and asked, "Maggie Chen?" Even with the sunglasses and how much different Maggie looked like now, Nicole could still recognize her.

However, when Nicole noticed how flat Maggie's belly was, she frowned slightly and remembered what Harley had said in the hospital.

Maggie removed her sunglasses and hung it on her shirt before she said, "Long time no see, Nicole. Or, should I call you Mrs. Gu? Oh, wait. How could I forget? The woman Mr. Gu married is Sunny He, so how could his wife be someone as cunning as you?"

With a sly smile on her face, Maggie walked towards Nicole. Her words were full of scorn for Nicole, and she did not even bother mincing her words.

Kerr's forehead creased into a frown when he heard what Maggie said. He gestured at Jared, who was standing beside him.

Nodding in understanding, Jared walked towards Maggie and raised a hand to stop her. "Excuse me, Miss Chen, but you can't go any closer."

Kerr had already oriented Jared about these situations. That was why without a word, Jared knew what had to be done and made sure that no dangerous person would be able to get close to Nicole, especially then that she was also bearing another life.

As for Nicole, she just narrowed her eyes at Maggie and asked in confusion, "Tell me, Miss Chen. Why are you here?" Even though Maggie gave her insults and mean remarks, Nicole still did not feel annoyed.

Moreover, Nicole could choose to ignore her, but she knew better and kept her calm. After all, Maggie was now Baron's wife, so she should show some respect and humility.

"Well, you see, Baron had been investigating about the Ning family before, and with his help, I found out something that I thought you must be interested in. Hence, I am here to talk with you about it," Maggie replied casually.

She then glanced at Jared, who was still blocking her from going near Nicole. Knowing now that they were here with her made her realize that it was going to be difficult for her to approach Nicole, so she had to think of ways to get closer to Nicole.

Nicole looked at Maggie seriously, wondering why Maggie was suddenly interested in what had happened to the Ning family. Even with her suspicions on Maggie, Nicole still thought that it was reasonable for Maggie to know something about it. After all, Baron was Maggie's husband, and he had placed a lot of efforts on this matter to help Nicole.

Feeling like what Maggie was about to say was important, Nicole turned to look at Kerr and said, "I'll talk with her." She let go of Kerr's hand and walked towards Maggie, but Kerr grabbed her wrist and said,

"I will stay with you." Deep inside, Kerr felt that Maggie must have some ulterior motives as to why she wanted to see Nicole, since Maggie looked like she couldn't wait to come here. Moreover, when they were in D Island, Kerr had received the news that Baron and Maggie had divorced.

However, he did not tell Nicole then, and perhaps, she was the only one who didn't know about it now.

Nicole knew that Kerr was just worried, so she nodded at him. Then she stood in front of Maggie and asked with a slight smile on her face. "So, Maggie, why did you come here in such a hurry? Is it that urgent, and why isn't Baron with you?"

Nicole looked back to the car and saw that no one was coming out of it. She was just sincerely concerned, but to Maggie's ears, it sounded like Nicole was showing off.

Maggie lowered her head and fixed her eyes on Nicole's big belly. This reminded her of the baby she once bore and lost because of an accident, which made her feel sad and angry again.

Without looking suspicious, she placed her hands behind her back casually and answered, "Well, Baron has been busy with his work lately. Anyway, enough of that, look how big your baby really is, Nicole." There was an obvious tinge of jealousy and coldness in Maggie's voice, and anyone who was looking at her suspiciously could hear that.

However, Nicole didn't find anything unusual from Maggie's tone, so she smiled at her before she touched her belly and said, "Ah, yes. I will be giving birth soon." Then she looked at Maggie with a tinge of worry and asked tentatively, "So, are you okay? Have you...recovered?"

Nicole did not dare to mention Maggie's child.

Meanwhile, Kerr's eyes were fixed on Maggie's hands, and he had heard the coldness in Maggie's voice. As soon as Nicole spoke and looked down to touch her belly, he had his eyes on Maggie after sensing a tinge of hostility behind her words.

Without hesitation, he placed an arm around Nicole's waist and slightly moved forward to protect her body with his.

He slightly hid her behind him in case of any emergency. After all, Maggie was still a potentially dangerous person ever since she had been jealous of Nicole.

Kerr's suspicions were right, because at that very moment, Maggie's eyes opened wide with hostility and shouted, "Yes! I've recovered!" Then, as quick as a blink of an eye, Maggie took out a sharp dagger from behind her and aimed towards Nicole's belly.

"My baby is gone! You can die with my child, Nicole Ning!" she screamed as she lunged forward. An obvious arrogance and rage were evident in her tone.

As soon as Nicole raised her head to look, the sharp blade glared at her eyes as the sun shone on it. Instinctively, she closed her eyes and hugged her belly to protect it against the incoming blade.

"No!" Kerr shouted as he saw the dagger. Without any second thoughts, Kerr stepped in front of Nicole and reached his hand out. Fortunately, he was able to grab Maggie by the wrist and twisted it. Feeling the sharp pain on her wrist, Maggie let go of the dagger, which fell on the ground with a thud.

Not caring that Maggie was a woman, Kerr raised his leg and kneed Maggie on her stomach, making her fall on the ground in pain. Then, he immediately turned around to hold Nicole in his arms. "It's all right now, Nicole. Shh, I'm here." Kerr loved Nicole so much that as long as he was with her, he would not hesitate to place himself before her in any harm just so she could be safe.

Nicole opened her eyes and realized that she started to cry. She looked down and saw that her belly was safe, making her feel relieved. Still trembling with fear and shock that Maggie was able to do that to her, Nicole held onto Kerr.

"You bitch! Why is the world so unfair? You already have everything, so why do you have to take Baron away from me? Why did you take my child? You are so selfish and bloodthirsty! You should die!" With blood coming out of her mouth from the impact of the hit, Maggie shouted as she managed to sit up.

Then, out of anger, she struggled to get to her feet and was about to lunge on Nicole again, but this time, Jared and Kim were prepared and held on to Maggie.

Kerr glared at Maggie and then looked at Nicole. She was already starting to calm down. He then reached for his handkerchief and wiped her tears. "I'm fine," she told him.

Feeling that there weren't any more tears to shed, Nicole walked towards Maggie and looked down at this hysterical woman with a frown. "First of all, I don't know what you are talking about. Whatever it is that happened between you and Baron has nothing to do with me.

Second, I didn't expect that you have the guts to do that. If Baron finds out that his wife attempted to hurt his friend, then I am sure that he will be disappointed. Right now, as Baron's friend, I am sincerely concerned that he is with a vicious and crazy woman."

Not planning to get associated with her any longer, Nicole turned her back on Maggie and held onto Kerr's hand. "Kerr, please let her go. If not for her, I would have to worry about Baron. Plus, I owed Baron before, so I should at least repay him with this now."

Kerr looked at Nicole seriously and frowned. "No, I won't give her any chance to hurt you."

Before Nicole could reply to that, Maggie spoke. "Nicole, stop pretending to be a good person. I lost my child, and it was you who killed our baby.

Because of that, Baron had no reason to be with me, and clearly he abandoned me because of you. How unfair is it that you still have a healthy child? How dare you still give birth to that bastard?!

What's even worse is that you took away Sunny‘s fiance and even took over the Gu Group. You deserved to be punished for stealing everything from everyone!" Maggie cursed Nicole hysterically as she struggled to take Jared's and Kim's hold off of her.

Nicole turned around to glare at her. She was all right when Maggie kept insulting her and saying mean things to her, but when she called her baby a bastard, Nicole knew that she was way out of line now. Nicole felt disgusted by how fiercely Maggie looked at her, as if Maggie was an animal and wanting to tear Nicole apart.

Deep inside, Nicole had sincerely wanted to give Maggie a chance to apologize and just move on, but now it seemed like Maggie didn't deserve her forgiveness anymore.
