Chapter 917 Date Part Three Jerry was wearing an all-black casual outfit as he stared at the kittens through the catteryâs 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, âYouâve only been in Yaleview for a while, but you already know the son of the Jones family?â
âWeâre no close. I simply met before.â
âThatâs good,â he murmured in a small voice.
âWhat did you say?â She didnât hear what he said.
âItâs nothing.â He smiled. âIâm just wondering why heâs standing outside instead of coming in. Itâs not expensive here. Besides, he can do basically anything he wants. Thereâs no reason for him to just stand outside and watch.â
âItâs because he has asthma. Cat furs cause breathing problems for him. As much as he likes cats, he canât 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 couldnâve solve after all.
Of course, he could always choose to breed furless cats, but it wasnât the same.
As long as Jerryâs asthma remained, he wouldnât be able to go near a furry cat.
Jerome knew Natalie inherited her granddadâs and motherâs medical skills, perhaps even surpassing them. Therefore, he knew she wasnât just making that up. Still, itâs 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 isnât he coming in?â
âNo idea. He donated a lot of money to the stray rescue station, and heâs 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, Jerryâs 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 hadnât personally seen him smiling innocently at a cat, she wouldâve thought it was her eyes playing tricks at her.
Jerry was feeling pretty awkward, but he wasnât 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, âIâm going out.â
Upon leaving the cattery, Natalie approached Jerry and asked, âHowâs your body?â
âMuch better,â Jerry replied with an arrogant look. âLast time was an accident. My bodyâs usually in a better shape.â
âYou like cats?â
He never told anyone about his love for cats because he didnât 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
âYouâre 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 canât 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 shouldnât be any problem.â
âReally?â
