Chapter 976

Jerome dared not kiss Natalie back when he was young an inexperienced.

When he met her again when he was older, her life changed drastically. He was afraid that he would make her uncomfortable if he got close to her, so he got even more worried about taking initiative.

Jerome had risked his life training in the military during the years that he wasn't by Natalie's side. He managed to succeed in countless of his missions, all because he no longer wanted to be the snotty kid who always followed her. Instead, he wanted to be someone who can stand beside her and protect her.

As he brushed her bangs away and was about to kiss her on the lips, Natalie let out a burp and interrupted the moment.

Burp!

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the handsome face that was right before her.

The alcohol had blurred her vision as well as her consciousness, and she thought she saw Samuel's face.

Samuel...

Are you finally back?

Her lips curled into a faint smile before she fell into a deep slumber.

The woman looked so much more innocent and alluring when she slept compared to when she was awake. She looked like an adorable doll that one would love and protect with all they had.

At the sight of this, Jerome smiled and shook his head.

Pushing himself up, he left Natalie's side and continued sipping on his glass of wine, the smile still on his face.

What's the rush?

We still have a long time ahead... I'm sure that she'll realize that I'm no longer just a little brother to her. Instead, I have become a man who would love and protect her for the rest of her life.

It was quite chilly at night.

Jerome found a blanket nearby and covered Natalie with it before getting up to leave the room.
