A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080 Where Did You Hide It

His eyes glinting, Bastien questioned coldly, “Why aren’t you answering the call, Major General Sutton?”

Jerome glanced at his phone. “Please excuse me while I take this call, Prince Jonathan.”

Toying with the pen in his hand, Bastien queried solemnly, “Why are you excusing yourself? If you continue dragging your feet, the call will be disconnected soon, Major General Sutton. Just answer the call here. I don’t mind.”

Despite his seemingly nonchalant words, his tone carried an inexplicable hint of coercion. “Prince Jonathan—”

“Are you suspecting that I’ll eavesdrop on your military intelligence?” Bastien placed the pen in his hand down, his countenance turning flinty in a flash.

“Of course not.” “In that case, answer the call in front of me.” Left with no other recourse, Jerome could only take the call before Bastien. “Hello, Natalie.”

Natalie’s voice promptly drifted out of the phone.

“Jerome, Yumi was kidnapped by a woman at the kindergarten. When the woman entered the kindergarten, Sophia was with Yumi, but she let Sophia go and took Yumi away. I’ve pondered for a long time, but I can’t think of anyone who’d do such a thing. I don’t have any leads at the moment, so I’d like to seek your help to investigate this matter.”

Knowing Yumi’s importance to her all too well, Jerome hastily promised in all solemnity, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you.” “Thank you.”

Subsequently, the call was disconnected. Jerome put his phone away and said to Bastien, “Prince Jonathan, please excuse me as I’ve got some personal matters to handle.”

In response, Bastien nodded. “You may be dismissed.” Shortly after Jerome had left, Bastien got to his feet.

“Send someone to keep an eye on him and see what exactly Natalie wanted him to investigate,” he instructed Joseph beside him.

Aware that the man still couldn’t forget Natalie after she declined his offer of marriage, Joseph could only answer with a dip of his head, “Understood.”

Then, he left.

Bastien, on the other hand, couldn’t help walking over to the window. As he gazed out at the darkening sky, his long and slender fingers clutched at the window frame.

Never had I expected Natalie to be so familiar with Jerome. Sure enough, there are too many things about her that go beyond my expectations. Anyhow, I’ve already made up my mind to bag her! No matter her past or the reprehensible means I’ve got to stoop to in order to have her, I’ll never change my mind!

Meanwhile, Yumi was jolted awake by cold water that was thrown right into her face with a splash.
