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 relationship 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 the latest season had to be postponed indefinitely, and their reputation was in tatters, thus causing the company’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 the company’s affairs have been resolved and I’ve completed my mission successfully, 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, Clayton, 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?”

Clayton cleared his throat and piped up, “That’s because we want to go to an escape room too!”

“Oh?” Natalie had no idea that Clayton 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 play 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 planning to go there, we want to join too!”

Franklin and Clayton’s intentions were as clear as day.

Catching on quickly, Sophia, Xavian, and Yumi nodded emphatically.

“We like playing that too!”

“Mommy, take us with you!”

“I want to play too!”

Hearing that, Natalie shot a glance 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 it comes 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 plan failed. The last thing they expected to see was that he genuinely did not seem to consider them a bother in the slightest.
