A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1038

Chapter 1038 Clearing Things Up

Hearing that, Jerome tightened his fists and squeezed out, “Did you choose this man just because… he’s Xavian and Clayton’s father? Do you wish to give them a complete family?”

Jerome knew well what the children meant to Natalie.

That was why he was still hoping that he would be able to get a chance to be with her.

Eyes shining with hope, Jerome asked, “Am I right?”

“No,” came Natalie’s firm answer.

She then looked into Jerome’s eyes and said, “Jerome, when I fell in love with Samuel, I didn’t know he was Xavian and Clayton’s father.”

Natalie knew that her words would crush Jerome’s hope, but those words were necessary, and she had to make things clear to him.

“My love for him has nothing to do with the fact that he is the father of Xavian and Clayton. Even if he isn’t their father, I still think that he is the one for me. My words will never change no matter how many times I say this. Jerome, I just think of you as my brother. We are not blood-related, but we will always be family—never lovers.”

Natalie was straightforward and left no room for him to argue.

The hope in his eyes slowly faded away until his eyes were dull. The fists he tightened earlier relaxed.

“Am I… just a brother to you?” Jerome muttered.

“Yes,” Natalie said without hesitation. “ I will help you if you need help. You and your family have been kind to me, but this is only familial love. There is no romantic love involved.”

Every word that Natalie said could be heard clearly by him.

However, perhaps she had been too clear, for Jerome could not even try to decipher her words in a different way.
