Chapter 1120 Promise
Natalie was getting much better thanks to the Sutton family’s care. Most of the time, it was Jerome taking care of Natalie. When he wasn’t around, Patricia would assume the responsibility.
Patricia couldn’t help but sigh when she thought about the lost potential of Natalie becoming her daughter-in-law. “Jerome told me all about you and Samuel, Natalie. What a shame! I should’ve brought you and Jennie with me when I returned to Loang. If I had done that, Jennie would’ve been alive longer, and you would’ve been the Sutton family’s daughter-in-law!”
Natalie knew Patricia really liked her, but when it came to matters involving feelings, no one could force it.
In response, she smiled at Patricia. “Don’t lament the past, Aunt Patricia. The decisions made back then are always for the best! Jerome may have missed out on the opportunity to get together with me, but perhaps he’ll meet someone who’s even more compatible with him as a result. No need to keep sighing. If you sigh again, your beauty will decline a little.”
“Really?” The older woman promptly touched her own face in a slight panic. “I was just joking!” Natalie smiled. “You’ve always been beautiful. No wonder Uncle Daniel was always enamored with you.”
“You have such a good way with words.” Ever since she was a child, Natalie had always been excellent at cheering Patricia up. She only needed to utter a few words to make Patricia smile very brightly.
Even though the older woman had stopped talking about the topic, she couldn’t hide the disappointment and regret swirling in her eyes. What she said sounds easy, but in reality, it’s likely not. What are the chances Jerome will meet another woman more suited for him after missing out on Natalie?
Not long after, Jerome returned. It was pretty obvious he wanted to say something but was holding himself back from doing so.
As the saying went, a mother knew her son best. Hence, Patricia could tell from a glance that her son had something he wanted to speak with Natalie about in private. She provided an excuse about wanting to prepare some fruits and left the guest room, giving the two a space to talk.
