Chapter 979 I Cannot Tolerate Any Longer

The expressions on the five children’s faces stiffened.

Clayton was sitting the closest to Jerome, and the latter reached out to gently pat his head. “Didn’t you say that you were all interested in escape rooms? Now that we’ve said we’ll take you to one, why does it seem like you’re not too happy about it?”

Although Jerome’s comment dove into the heart of the matter, the children could not express their true thoughts and only plastered a smile on their faces.

“What? No way! We’re ecstatic!”

“Yeah! We’re super excited!”

“Mr. Sutton, can’t you see that we’re smiling?”

Once they finished their breakfast, Jerome and Natalie left the table first while Emma bustled off to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

All five adorable kids held their heads in their hands, fraught with worry.

Yumi frowned as she asked, “What’s up with Mommy today? Why did she agree so readily?”

Franklin nodded in agreement. “I was wondering the same thing. It stands to reason that Mommy must have plenty to attend to after resolving the crisis involving Dream. However, she went and agreed to go to an escape room with Mr. Sutton! That’s so strange!”

“Daddy hasn’t spent time with Mommy in a long time. Recently, Mr. Sutton’s the one who has been by Mommy’s side. He’s also very nice to us.”

It was Sophie who made that remark. After saying that, she proceeded to make a bold assumption.

“Do you think… Mommy has had a change of heart?”

As soon as she posed that question, they immediately became despondent.

It’s over. Mommy has had a change of heart. Even if Daddy comes to his senses and returns, what’s the point?

As they fretted over their parents’ relationship, their faces became etched with sadness and anguish that did not befit their age.

When Emma returned to continue clearing the dining table, she saw the glum expressions on their faces.

“Mr. Sutton has already started the car and is waiting for you outside. Why are all of you still sitting here? Didn’t you want to play that escape room or something?” she asked, interrupting their thoughts.

Unable to explain to Emma the reason for their low spirits, they could only force themselves to perk up.

“We were sitting here to let our stomachs digest our breakfast. We’ll be off now.”

“Ah, I see.”

Emma nodded, not fully understanding.

Franklin and the others left the dining room and walked to the courtyard.

Since they were taking the kids, Jerome and Natalie were each going to drive one car and split the five children between the two vehicles.

The boys would go with Natalie while the girls would go in Jerome’s car.

Once they had settled into their seats, Jerome and Natalie headed to Yaleview’s most famous themed escape room.

Meanwhile, Samuel looked grim as he listened to Jesper’s report.

“Mr. Bowers, after Jerome entered the mansion last night, he didn’t leave until nine this morning. Even then, he didn’t leave at once either. Instead, he and Ms. Nichols drove separately to a themed escape room with the five children.”

“What’s an escape room?” Samuel interrupted, his gaze turning stormy.

After a brief pause, Jesper explained, “Escape rooms are where the younger generation gather and hang out nowadays. The rooms are designed according to various themes. However, the basic premise is that the participants get locked in a room where they have to find clues and solve puzzles to unlock the door and escape… To make it out, they have to rely on things like their mental and physical skills as well as teamwork. There are also many different themes available.”

“A man and a woman locked up in a room alone?” Samuel asked with a piercing gaze.

Jesper dared not respond to that question.

“And they have to be in constant physical contact in that room?” Samuel continued.

Jesper gulped.

I don’t think I used those terms while talking about the escape room.

Samuel had already struggled to suppress his anger after hearing that Jerome had stayed the night at the mansion. Now that he had learned that Jerome was going to get locked up in a room with only Natalie, he felt as if he was about to lose his mind.

“Mr. Bowers… Actually, the five children will also be there…” Jesper reminded Samuel softly.

However, Samuel did not hear a word he said. Grabbing the coat next to him, Samuel strode out.

In such situations, tolerance is key. However, I really can’t tolerate it any longer!
