A Cue for Love Chapter 978
Five Anxious Children
Emma was also relieved to see Jerome getting along with the five kids.
I’ve heard from them that Ms. Nichols is a very capable woman. However, even the strongest of women
would find it challenging to raise five little ones.
Earlier that morning, Emma had also made a point to observe Jerome discreetly as he helped her
make breakfast. He did not say much, but he was neat and thorough, putting as much effort into
preparing breakfast for the children as he would if he were their biological father.
Anyway, I’ve not seen any sign of the kids’ father here. It’d be a good thing if Ms. Nichols and the
children had Ms. Sutton to care for them.
The quintet ate with worry in their hearts while Emma watched them with buoyant spirits. Only Natalie
focused on tucking into her meal, oblivious to what the others were feeling and thinking.
After all, she and Jerome were very close.
In fact, he was like a younger brother to her.
Hence, regardless of how well he treated her, she had never thought of their rtionship in that way.
A younger brother falling for her?
In her eyes, that was impossible!
As Natalie ate, she reached for the tablet on the table and began browsing the morning news.
The hottest news that morning was about Olivia exposing a famous actress to hormones and framing
Dream Jewelry for it.
As a result, the Jones family’s Cupid collection for thetest season had to be postponed indefinitely,
and their reputation was in tatters, thus causing thepany’s stock prices to plummet.
The news showed the Jones family’s office building, the mansion where they lived, and Bridger and the
other family members.
Although the camera panned past the family quickly, Natalie still caught a glimpse of them. Bridger
seemed to have aged overnight, Jada’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, and even the usually
arrogant Jerry looked dispirited.
After watching a little while longer, she turned off the tablet.
Even though Jerry had not harbored any ill intention toward her, she did not regret taking revenge
against the Jones family.
Olivia owes me that much, and it’s only fair for me to seek justice for myself and Yvette.
After taking a sip of milk, Jerome suggested with a smile, “Now that thepany’s affairs have been
resolved and I’vepleted my mission sessfully, why don’t we go out and have some fun today?
We’ll go to one of those escape rooms that are all the rage now. What do you think?”
The five kids did not have much of a reaction.
After all, Natalie had always been focused on her work and rarely went out to have fun. Hence, they
guessed she would turn down his suggestion immediately.
But to their surprise, Natalie readily agreed.
“Sure. Why not?”
The five little ones started coughing at the same time when they heard that.
When Natalie saw Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, yton, and Yumi start coughing one after another, she
could not help shooting them a suspicious look.
“What’s going on? Why is it that when one of you coughed, the others followed suit?”
yton cleared his throat and piped up, “That’s because we want to go to an escape room too!”
“Oh?” Natalie had no idea that yton and the others were interested in escape rooms, so she was
very surprised to hear that.
Nodding, Franklin turned to Natalie and said, “Yeah! We’ve always wanted to y that. It’s just that you
haven’t had any free time because you’ve been busy with work. After hearing that you and Mr. Sutton
are nning to go there, we want to join too!”
Franklin and yton’s intentions were as clear as day.
Catching on quickly, Sophia, Xavian, and Yumi nodded emphatically.
“We like ying that too!”
“Mommy, take us with you!”
“I want to y too!”
Hearing that, Natalie shot a nce at Jerome. “They’re all so eager to go. I’m their mother, so I should
take them. It might be inconvenient for you if we asked you to go with us, so why don’t you—”
She had wanted to suggest that he find someone else to go with him. However, Jerome spoke before
she could finish her sentence, saying, “It’s no inconvenience at all. When ites to escape rooms,
the more people, the merrier. It’ll be fun with the seven of us.”
The five children had thought Jerome would leave disheartened after his n failed. Thest thing they
expected to see was that he genuinely did not seem to consider them a bother in the slightest.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
