    A Cue for Love Chapter 989


    I Will Avenge You


    Jerome promptly put away the smile on his face.


    Mistakenly assuming that he was shy, Natalie continued teasing him smilingly, “Yvette is probably still


    single. If you’re interested in her, I can cook up a n to help you!”


    “You can help me pursue her?” Jerome asked solemnly.

    “Of course!” Natalie nodded fervently.


    “I don’t need to pursue her,” Jerome maintained firmly.


    “I understand.” Natalie likewise stifled her smile, thinking that he might not like the feeling of someone


    deliberately helping him.


    “You don’t understand.” A gleam of sincerity glinted in Jerome’s eyes.


    He turned to face her and pinned his gaze on her face. “I don’t find her all that stunning. In my eyes,


    you’re a hundred times and a thousand times more beautiful than her. I don’t need you to help me win


    her over because you’re the person I like, not her.”


    He thought she was undoubtedly aware of his feelings for her. Only then did he realize that she


    seemingly never thought of their rtionship in the romantic sense. Therefore, he had no choice but to


    spell things out.


    At the man’s dark and scorching gaze, Natalie turned downright somber.


    “I only regard you as a brother, Jerome.”


    At that, a self-derisive smile tugged at Jerome’s lips. “A brother? We’re not rted by blood, nor am I


    all that younger. Can you please stop regarding me as a brother? I’ve grown up. I can protect you and


    take responsibility for you and the kids.”


    As Natalie listened to his confession of love, her heart clenched hard.


    No wonder Franklin, Sophia, and the others asked me apprehensively yesterday whether I kissed him.


    It turned out that even the kids could tell that his attitude toward me wasn’t “pure.” Yet, I foolishly


    thought that my interaction with him was no different from when we were young.


    She btedly realized how dense she was that she only perceived his feelings then.


    “There’s already someone whom I like, Jerome.” Meeting his eyes, she exined, “I love him very


    much, so much so that it’s on par with my love for the kids. My love for him is so deep that I’m willing to


    give my life in exchange for his!”


    “Hmm?” A sh of shock flittered across Jerome’s eyes.


    Almost cruelly, Natalie added, “Even if he really betrayed me, I’d never fall in love with anyone else in


    this lifetime.”


    It wasn’t that she had no empathy, but she was all too aware that she could only minimize the hurt to


    him by being sufficiently ruthless and resolute.


    “Perhaps I should’ve told you this earlier, Jerome.” Sighing, she murmured, “I’m sorry.”


    Her rejection was a fact set in stone.


    With her lips pressed into a thin line, Natalie walked back into Dream’s office building.


    There was no use for her to speak further. She had already made her stance clear to Jerome. Hence,


    she was leaving the rest of the decision in his hands.


    She respected his decision, whether they were to remain friends or be strangers.


    As Jerome gazed at her back, the disappointment in his gaze intensified.


    He thought he would have the confidence and capability to take care of her when he had grown up, but


    he never expected her to have fallen in love with someone else.


    Tears shimmered in his eyes, but he muttered with a smile, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I’ll wait


    for you. I’ll wait until you’re willing to ept me.”


    Three dayster, the Rebirth collectionunched by Dream Jewelry went on sale with all eyes on it.


    The first batch of a thousand limited edition sets was sold out within a minute of its release.


    At the productunch, the cameras were mainly fixated on the ambassador, Yvette. When they panned


    the hall, they also captured Natalie among the crowd.


    In a dim room, a woman in a ck form-fitting shirt and leather pants had her eyes glued on the live


    broadcast on the television screen while toying with a sharp knife in her hand.


    The instant Zophie spotted Natalie on the screen, she threw the knife in her hand at thetter’s face


    hard.


    Crash!


    It hit the television screen, causing it to crack even as distinct electric sparks materialized. The screen


    instantly went dark, and a hole appeared on it.


    Her eyes brimming with grief, Zophie gritted her teeth and vowed, “Don’t worry, Gale. I’ll avenge you!”
