Chapter 985

Natalie furrowed her brows.

He had the courage to kiss me for such a long time but left the room without hesitation before the lights returned.

Clearly, he can't bring himself to let go of me. Yet, he keeps hiding from me. What is there that we can't go through together?

Alas, she still had no clue what was going through that man's mind.

Once the secret door opened, Jerome and the other players from the other room came over to Natalie's room, which was still dark.

“I'm here,” Natalie softly said.

Jerome soon found his way toward her by following her voice. He then asked, “How are things at your side?”

In the dark, Jerome could not see her swollen lips, let alone know that she had just been kissed by another man in the room beside his.

“Nothing,” she muttered as she tucked away the mixed feelings in her.

Jerome did not think much about her response. “I didn't know that I was holding the wrong person's hand earlier. I thought I was holding yours. I... I didn't mean to do it. After entering the other room, I realized I couldn't go back the same way I came from, so I started solving the puzzles...”

Jerome made it seem like he was recounting to Natalie what had happened on his side, but it was actually him explaining himself to her.

Nevertheless, Natalie was feeling crestfallen, so she did not pay much attention to Jerome's words.
