Chapter 278

Natalie called to complain about how prolonged Jeremy’s business trip had become. 

Aside from the phone call when she visited Charles at work that day, their subsequent communication was just a couple of messages exchanged on 

WhatsApp. 

“At first, I didn’t think much of it. But the more I brood over it, the more uneasy I become. Is he genuinely so busy that he has no time left for me?” Natalie grumbled. 

Once again, Skylar felt a sense of foreboding creeping in. “Did Mr. Hughes say when 

he’d be back?” 

“No, he didn’t. He just said this situation was more complicated than expected. At first, I thought he’d be back in three or four days. But now, it looks like I’ll have to wait another week,” Natalie replied. 

She felt sorry for herself and sighed before adding, “Skye, I feel like I’m becoming at bit of a nag. All I can do is wait for my loved one to return.” 

Skylar patiently advised Natalie. Her friend’s cheerful nature meant she could easily shake off any unhappiness. 

Immediately afterward, Natalie changed the topic and started talking about the 

famous actor, Austin. 

“Guess what? Austin actually tasted the cookies I made! He even took a photo to show me. I might be the first fan to connect with him on Instagram!” Natalie 

exclaimed. 

She continued, “His latest movie is hitting theaters soon. I don’t care. You must make time to watch it with me! This time around, he’s playing the villain, a scumbag who murders his wife and abandons his daughter. I watched the trailer, and it’s so intense! 

Skylar also found herself intrigued. “Sure, I’ll watch it with you!”

The two chatted for a while longer before ending the call. 

As part of her nightly routine, Skylar would always check the orders placed on her Amazon store before going to bed. 

For the past few days, she had been getting more orders from loyal customers. Coupled with the new customers they referred, her daily income was quite 

substantial. 

However, with the influx of orders, Skylar needed more time to process them. There were even some customers with multiple queries, and she had to address them one 

by one. 

Right then, she noticed a familiar profile picture. The person had left a comment 

earlier that day. 

The individual wrote, “I think you’re a fraud. You don’t know anything, yet you’re scamming people online. I’m sure many have been conned by you. Here’s a piece of good news for you though. I’m pregnant.” 

Skylar frowned after reading the comment. Nevertheless, she closed the window and pretended not to have seen it. She believed it was unnecessary to reply, too. 

Plenty of people in the world would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and this 

was no exception. 

After all, they were just strangers on the internet. Skylar was merely concerned for the man’s wife, who he had betrayed. 

When the wife learned that her husband, whom she loved and trusted, had been cheating on her, she would be overcome with immense pain and sorrow. 

If a mistress entered a household and established her dominance, it would be a devastating blow to the wife. 

With that in mind, Skylar abruptly ceased her train of thought. She refused to delve any further into the matter. 

Scumbags were everywhere, and the number of people hurt by them was immeasurable. Everyone had to face setbacks to grow stronger, time and time again. 

After exiting the Amazon application, Skylar took a shower and drifted off to sleep

While she was in a daze, she could feel someone holding her, enveloping her in their 

embrace. 

Initially, she moved slightly as she felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, due to her fatigue, Skylar dismissed the discomfort as a dream and gradually grew
