Chapter 1059 He Will Never Win Her Heart
“You, of course!” Jerome replied with a mischievous grin. Natalie clenched her fist and gave him a punch in the chest. “I give an inch and you take a mile, huh? Looks like I’ll have to put you in your place, Jerome!”
Jerome pretended to rub his chest in pain as he exclaimed, “Ugh! Hey, that hurts! Had I not been toughened up by my many years of training in the military, you probably would’ve broken a rib or two with that punch!”
Natalie felt happy when she saw that they were joking around like when they were kids again. This is great! I’d be really upset if I were to lose a great friend like him because of his romantic feelings!
“All right, I’ll have to stop our little banter here. I really need to get to work now,” Natalie said with a smile as she waved goodbye. “Bye!” Jerome waved back at her.
He then stood there and watched as Natalie got into her car and sped off into the distance.
It wasn’t until her car had completely disappeared from sight that he mumbled to himself, “That was all a lie, Natalie… You wanted to remain as friends, so I had no choice but to act like we were just friends. Just as you don’t want to lose me as a friend, I don’t want to lose you by telling you my true feelings. I’m happy with being around you like this!”
Unfortunately for Jerome, Natalie couldn’t hear any of what he had just said. Emma shook her head when she came out of the house and saw Jerome standing there like a statue.
Oh, my… Mr. Sutton sure is deeply in love with Ms. Nichols! It’s a shame he’ll never win her heart over! Being able to attend Bastien’s birthday party was considered a grand opportunity for most people.
With the exception of Natalie, who wished to keep a low profile, all the other heiresses of prominent families were determined to win Bastien’s heart at the party.
Natalie chose a dress with a simple design and put on very light makeup for the party. Since she had no intention of competing with the other women, she decided to have them stand out better so she could keep a low profile.
Meanwhile, Helma was surrounded by a team of makeup artists and stylists in the Leitz residence. After spending agonizing hours having her appearance worked on, Helma emerged from the room looking her best.
“Ms. Helma sure is a natural beauty! All it took was a slight makeover for her to look as pretty as an angel!” “I know, right? Ms. Helma is bound to be the brightest star at the party tonight!”
“I bet Prince Jonathan won’t be able to take his eyes off her!” Helma knew they were just trying to butter her up, but she didn’t mind rewarding them generously since they had done a really good job.
After taking some time to admire her beauty and elegance in the mirror, Helma stood up and said, “You can get your payments from the butler over there.”
“Yay! Thank you, Ms. Helma!” they cheered in unison. Geert and Heidi were already waiting for her in the living room by the time Helma made her way down the stairs.
“Wow! As expected of my daughter! You look really beautiful and elegant, Helma! I bet you and Prince Jonathan would look amazing together!” Geert exclaimed happily when she saw how gorgeous Helma looked.
“Yeah! I’m sure Prince Jonathan would like you even more if he saw how you look tonight,” Heidi chimed in as well.
Helma looked away shyly after being complimented by her father and sister. “Father, Heidi, Prince Jonathan has yet to confirm he’ll marry me. Don’t talk about it like we’re already married! What if he doesn’t choose me to be his wife? That’ll be really embarrassing!”
