Chapter 940 Chase Her Jerry scratched his head.
He wasnât trying to disassociate himself from Natalie.
In fact, he would gladly accept it if Natalie was willing to marry him. After all, that woman was practically every manâs goddess, given her good looks, figure, and charisma.
However...
It was obvious that Natalie only treated him as a kid.
Chase her?
The thought of that seemed absurd to Jerry.
Seeing that his son was not even willing to give it a shot, Bridger said with a frown, âWhy are you so pessimistic? Youâre young and handsome; how can you be so sure you donât stand a chance without even trying? Itâs better to try and fail than never try at all, right? I think that girlââ
Before the man could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Olivia, âDad, Jerry has just turned eighteen. Why are you asking him to go after a woman whoâs so much older than him? Have you lost your mind because of your desire for money? Heâs taking his exams two months later. He should be focusing on his studies right now!â
Oliviaâs words stopped her dadâs imagination from running wild.
At the thought of Jerryâs upcoming examinations, Bridger kept quiet.
However, Jerry had a crease between his brows as he continued munching on his toast. He knew that his sister wasnât really concerned about his studies. Rather, she just hated hearing Natalieâs name.
Just like that, the family continued their breakfast with an awkward atmosphere surrounding them.
After breakfast, Olivia drove Jerry to school before heading to the office.
In the car, Olivia had a grim expression on her face when she said to Jerry, âYou must be really happy that the atmosphere was so awkward just now because I didnât listen to you before.â
âOlivia... What are you talking about?â Jerry could obviously hear the sarcasm in the womanâs voice.
âAm I wrong?â Olivia yelled with bloodshot eyes. âWhen Dad told you to pursue Natalie, you didnât seem too reluctant to the idea!â
With a hint of impatience in his tone, Jerry replied, âItâs true that Iâm rather fond of her. Am I not allowed to like her? But I also know that she will never be interested in me!â
Taking a pause, he pressed his lips together and continued, âOlivia, not only is she a really nice person with an amazing personality, sheâs extremely capable as well. Sheâs really not as bad as you think! I swear!â
The next moment, Olivia jammed on the brakes and the car screeched to a halt.
Caught unaware, Jerry jerked forward even with his seat belt on.
âOlivia! What are you doing?â
âGet out!â Olivia bellowed.
âYou...â
âGet out of my car! Do you hear me?â Olivia repeated furiously.
âFine!â As that was the first time his sister had flared up at him, Jerry was stupefied and got out of the car in a huff.
After Jerry left, Olivia slammed on the accelerator and sped off.
A myriad of thoughts ran through her mind while she drove.
She had not seen Museâs newest design drawings.
However, given that she had bumped into Natalie at the designerâs house previously, she could guess who Muse had given her design drawings.
âNatalie...â Olivia uttered through gritted teeth.
What should I do? If Dream really manages to make its break in the jewelry world by using Museâs design, Farrington Jewelry will definitely fare worse than expected for the new season!
âNo... I canât just sit around and do nothing... I canât lose!â
Meanwhile, at the Nichols residence, Natalie had woken up early that morning.
She had started enjoying being an early riser, and her routine after waking up included preparing breakfast for the kids together with Emma.
Natalie mainly assisted while Emma held the reins. Being in the kitchen and playing a part in creating delicious breakfast dishes helped put Natalie in a better mood, temporarily allowing her to forget her sorrows.
âGood morning, Mommy!â The five little ones, who were already seated at the dining table, beamed brightly as they greeted their mother.
âGood morning!â Natalie carried the plates from the kitchen to the dining hall and said, âBreakfast is ready. Dig in.â
Gazing at Natalieâs back, Clayton frowned and said, âHave you guys noticed that Mommy seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently?â
