The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1085

Natalie lifted her head under Jerome's stare and met his eyes. “I'm not going to hand this jade key to Zophie or Blaze before I can determine its usefulness. I'll keep the key by my side. Now, I just need to find a way to duplicate the key in two days.”

His mouth was left slightly ajar as he was shocked by Natalie's idea.

“I may not have personally seen the jade key, but I imagine it's not going to be easy to replicate a piece of jade that was carved into the shape of a key. I don't think two days will be enough for you to copy it...” said Jerome.

His concerns were already considered by her.

Thus, she nodded and said, “That's right! There's no way an ordinary person can do it. However, if that person is willing to help out, then two days is possible.”

“Who?”

“Varre Appleby,” Natalie uttered his name slowly.

“Varre used to be a master craftsman hired by the government. However, I heard from my father that there has been no news about him in recent years.” Jerome sighed. “His skills can be described as divine, but his whereabouts are unknown. Two days may not even be enough time for you to find him...”

Despite that, Natalie didn't seem at all dejected. In fact, she smiled confidently. “What if I say I know his daughter?”

Jerome couldn't believe his ears. “What? You know Varre's daughter?”

“Mhm.” Raising her chin, she continued, “I need to ask Mr. Appleby to replicate that jade key as fast as possible to fool Zophie. Even if I make the exchange with her, it's not guaranteed that she'll return Yumi to me. If I have to choose one over the other, I will do my best to protect Yumi. It won't matter to me if the fake key is shattered or not. I don't care how other people view my relationship with Yumi, but since I've adopted her, I'm not going to give up on her. She is my daughter, and she's so very obedient. To me, there's no difference between her and Xavian, Franklin, Clayton, or Sophia. This is the only way I can protect her and the children for now, so I must give it a try!”
