Chapter 890 Unable To Move On Part Four
“Still single…”
Patricia’s gaze was fixated on Natalie. Judging from Natalie’s answer, it meant that Jerome still had a
chance.
“Natalie, you’re only twenty-four. There’s plenty of time and you should be cautious in choosing your life
partner. There’s no rush to get married. It’s one thing to capitalize on your youth, but marrying an
atrocious partner will be tormenting, just like how your mother suffered throughout the years.”
Patricia was advising Natalie genuinely based on her own experience.
Natalie could tell that Patricia was speaking from her heart, but it was a second too late.
Natalie never believed in love. It was unimaginable to experience the grievance of loving someone,
only for one’s heart to be trampled by betrayal. The devastating pain would be impossible to move on
from.

“It’s a great opportunity to expand your company in Loang. It will be perfect if you can stay at Yaleview
from now on.” Patricia’s eyes glistened with joy. “With Jerome and your Uncle Daniel around, no one
can bully you in Yaleview!”
“Thank you so much.”
After dinner, Natalie played a few rounds of chess with Daniel.
Having waited two years to challenge Natalie again, Daniel, despite his valiant efforts, was once again
defeated by Natalie.
Daniel nonetheless took it lightly. As opposed to being frustrated, he took pleasure in the challenge.
It was eight o’clock at night.
Natalie bid goodbye to Patricia and Daniel.
Daniel was still analyzing the sophisticated moves by Natalie in the last two rounds of chess.
Patricia however interrupted him and lifted the chessboard up. “Hey, you! It must be tough for Jerome,
given that you’re his father.”
“Put down the chess board!” Daniel frowned. “What do you mean? Are you saying that it’s a disgrace
for Jerome to have me as his father?”
“Do you even understand your child?”
“Why do you think otherwise?”
“Jerome liked Natalie ever since he was young. Don’t tell me that you’re oblivious to this?” Patrica said
sternly.
“I knew Natalie ever since she was a small child. She’s a perfect ten. What happened five years ago is
in the past. If Jerome is able to look past it, so am I. If Natalie is willing to get together with Jerome,
we’ll treat Xavian and Clayton just like our own grandchildren. It shouldn’t be an issue raising them.
Besides, Natalie and Jerome will also have their own kids in the future. I’m warning you not to mess up
their relationship! If you happen to cause a ruckus, I’m going to end you!”
Unlike Patricia, Daniel still had his doubts.
However, Patricia was right. Natalie was simply too perfect. Not only his wife and his son liked her, but
even Daniel himself was also fond of her.
Daniel cleared his throat and said, “I know what to do. I’ll get in touch with him and get him to apply for

“All right. Do that!” Patricia’s face lit up at the thought of a future with Natalie.
Natalie, who had just left the Sutton residence, was under the impression that Patricia simply liked her
as a person. It never occurred to Natalie that Patrica wanted her to be Patricia’s daughter-in-law.
Back at the mansion.
Natalie stood at a corner while staring at her five children.
Among them, Sophia’s medical skills still required further guidance from Natalie.
After a while, Natalie asked Sophia to join her in a one-on-one session.
Natalie had grown immune to Sophia’s meteoric improvements over such a short span of time. Looking
at her progress, Sophia had already mastered the syllabus for the first and second grades in the
university for traditional medicine.
Natalie started crafting a new syllabus to be adopted into Sophia’s learning program. After that, she
wanted to carry Sophia back to her room.
Out of a sudden, Sophia curled her arms around Natalie’s neck. Her dark, round eyes welled up, and
she seemed like she wanted to say something.
Natalie quickly asked, “Sophia, what do you want to tell me?”
“Mommy, I miss Daddy.” Sophia tightened her grip and spoke in a tender manner.
