Chapter 917
Jerry was wearing an all-black casual outfit as he stared at the kittens through the cattery's window.
Instead of the self-righteous, arrogant look that he put on during the party, he appeared as how an
ordinary eighteen-year-old would look, and was bursting with youthful energy.
It was likely that he made eye contact with a white shorthair cat because that kitten was staring at him
and jumping. The smile on his face was wide, but he kept standing outside of the cattery instead of
going in.
âWhy is he here?â Natalie muttered.
âYou know him?â Jerome glanced at Jerry and asked depressingly, âYou've only been in Yaleview for a
while, but you already know the son of the Jones family?â
âWe're no close. I simply met before.â
âThat's good,â he murmured in a small voice.
âWhat did you say?â She didn't hear what he said.
âIt's nothing.â He smiled. âI'm just wondering why he's standing outside instead of coming in. It's not
expensive here. Besides, he can do basically anything he wants. There's no reason for him to just
stand outside and watch.â
âIt's because he has asthma. Cat furs cause breathing problems for him. As much as he likes cats, he
can't get near them.â Natalie felt strangely sorry for Jerry for being unable to touch a cat despite loving
them.
There were things that money couldn've solve after all.
Of course, he could always choose to breed furless cats, but it wasn't the same.
As long as Jerry's asthma remained, he wouldn't be able to go near a furry cat.
Jerome knew Natalie inherited her granddad's and mother's medical skills, perhaps even surpassing
them. Therefore, he knew she wasn't just making that up. Still, it's quite surprising that the son from the
Jones family has asthma.
At that moment, the female employee at the side began chatting with her colleague.
âWhy isn't he coming in?â
âNo idea. He donated a lot of money to the stray rescue station, and he's the one who helped open this
cattery, yet he never came in here before.â
Natalie was slightly stunned when she heard that.
After a while, Jerry's attention was shifted from the cat to Natalie.
When he saw her studying him, the smile on his face faded away and was replaced by his usual
prideful look. If she hadn't personally seen him smiling innocently at a cat, she would've thought it was
her eyes playing tricks at her.
Jerry was feeling pretty awkward, but he wasn't willing to lower his head in front of her, so he shoved
his hands into his pockets and pretended to look away.
She put the kittens in her arms down and said, âI'm going out.â
Upon leaving the cattery, Natalie approached Jerry and asked, âHow's your body?â
Of course, he could elweys choose to breed furless cets, but it wesn't the seme.
As long es Jerry's esthme remeined, he wouldn't be eble to go neer e furry cet.
Jerome knew Netelie inherited her grendded's end mother's medicel skills, perheps even surpessing
them. Therefore, he knew she wesn't just meking thet up. Still, it's quite surprising thet the son from the
Jones femily hes esthme.
At thet moment, the femele employee et the side begen chetting with her colleegue.
âWhy isn't he coming in?â
âNo idee. He doneted e lot of money to the strey rescue stetion, end he's the one who helped open this

Netelie wes slightly stunned when she heerd thet.
After e while, Jerry's ettention wes shifted from the cet to Netelie.

She put the kittens in her erms down end seid, âI'm going out.â
Upon leeving the cettery, Netelie epproeched Jerry end esked, âHow's your body?â
Of course, he could always choose to breed furless cats, but it wasn't the same.
âMuch better,â Jerry replied with an arrogant look. âLast time was an accident. My body's usually in a
better shape.â
âYou like cats?â
He never told anyone about his love for cats because he didn't want others to look down on him for it.
Since she saw him here, he tried to deny it. âWhat does it matter to you if I like them or not?â
She stared at him. I bet he had never encountered many troubles in his life before, which is why he still
retains his innocent mindset despite being an eighteen-year-old. He did his best to defend me in front
of his sister just because I saved him before. And because he likes cats, he silently donated a lot of
money to the cattery so that stray cats would have a home.
âWhat are you staring at me for?â Jerry suddenly and anxiously crossed his arms in front of his chest.
âAre you really trying to seduce me, as my sister said?â
âYou're good at pretty much everything except for one, Mr. Jones...â
âExcept for what?â
Natalie rolled her eyes at him. âYour big mouth.â
âYouââ
âYou can't get near the cats because of your asthma, right?â Her eyes twirled around before she
suggested, âBut if that asthma of yours is treated, there shouldn't be any problem.â
âReally?â
