    A Cue for Love Chapter 986


    A Good Option


    Upon hearing that, Natalie was stunned for a moment. However, she wasn’t surprised.


    If it weren’t for the dim lighting in the escape room earlier, Jerome would have likely noticed the


    condition of her lips ages ago.


    Despite her having braced herself for questions, her heart still lurched at the man’s intense stare and


    query.

    “Natalie, how exactly… did you get the bruise on your lips?”


    “After parting ways with you, I tripped and stumbled because it was too dark in the escape room. My


    teeth hit my lips, causing some bleeding, so it’s now slightly swollen,” Natalie exined in feigned


    nonchnce.


    Nodding, Jerome grumbled, “Escape room wasn’t as fun as I imagined. We can’t really see in there. I’ll


    bring you somece else to have fun in the future.”


    “Sure, sure!”


    After Natalie and Jerome had sessfully cleared the level, they didn’t pose in their costumes like the


    other yers.


    Instead, they went to the changing room to change.


    Jerome went into the men’s changing room.


    Natalie, on the other hand, went to the information counter before entering the women’s changing


    room. “I lost my purse. Can you please show me your establishment’s surveince footage?” she


    asked.


    Recalling the man’s warning, the employee chuckled sheepishly. “I’m sorry, but it so happens that the


    surveince cameras in our establishment malfunctioned today. As such, I can’t show you the


    surveince footage. How about we help you find your purse in a while? Or how much money did you


    have in it? If all else fails, we can negotiate andpensate you.”


    Beforeing over to make inquiries, Natalie had reckoned that such would be the answer.


    Smiling, she shook her head. “Forget it. There’s no need to go to such trouble. I didn’t have much


    money in my purse.”


    “All right, then.”


    Seeing that Natalie had gone into the women’s changing room, the employee heaved an obvious sigh


    of relief.


    After Natalie and Jerome changed out of the costumes and back into their casual attires, they went to


    the board game room to pick up the five children.


    The five children sat there and yed by themselves while the other yers and employees sat a table


    away from them.


    “What’s happening here?” Pointing at the five children and adults at the other table, Natalie couldn’t


    help asking, “Didn’t I tell you to y with others? Why are you all ying alone without inviting them to


    join you?”


    Franklin arched a brow and dered domineeringly, “Mommy, it wasn’t that we didn’t want to y with


    them. Instead, it was the other way round.”


    “Really?”


    “They said it was too embarrassing to y with us because they kept losing. They weren’t our match in


    games involving intelligence, but even after switching over to games that required luckter, they still


    lost miserably.” Pouting, Xavian added, “We… already restrained ourselves surreptitiously, but it didn’t


    seem to work that great.”


    At that, Natalie was rendered speechless.


    Never mind that all five of them have exceptional looks, but they even took after me and Samuel in


    terms of IQ.


    She knew that they could definitely defeat any average adult in board games, but never had she


    expected the other yers to be traumatized even after they had restrained themselves.


    For a moment, she didn’t know whether she should say that the employees were toome or her


    children were too intelligent.


    Natalie and Jerome then left the escape room establishment with the five children. They went to a


    restaurant to eat.


    In the meantime, Samuel sat in the security room, watching as Natalie gradually went out of range of


    the surveince cameras.


    Jesper stood beside the man. As he watched his employer staring intently at the screen, on which


    Natalie was long since gone, he inwardlymented Samuel’s loyalty in love despite being a big shot


    with much prominence and authority.


    Gosh, he stooped so low just to indulge her!


    He was well aware that some things weren’t appropriate to be said by someone of his identity, but he


    couldn’t hold himself back. “Why must you put yourself through this, Mr. Bowers?”


    A bitter smile showed on Samuel’s face. “If there’s a choice, I hope her life is sweet while mine is bitter.


    Perhaps Jerome is a good option for her after I leave this world.”
