However, Jeremy still read her text.
When he saw the pictures, a cruel glint flashed across his eyes.
Natalie seemed to enjoy working with Austin, and they seemed to have several common topics. Jeremy’s
face fell.
Annabelle texted, “Mr. Hughes, I went to a set at the university just now to meet an actor I liked. Why has
Natalie become Austin’s assistant? I’ve liked him for many years.”
Jeffery did not respond to her. He turned his phone off.
Annabelle waited for his response, but none came.
She refused to give up and waited for half an hour more. Yet, he still didn’t text her back. How cruel! He’d refused to reply to her texts no matter what she said for the past few days. How could someone be so

months have been for me. I’ve been bored to death, you know? Hey? Why do I smell my mom’s clam
chowder?”
She knew this smell too well. No one could reproduce her mom’s recipe. She was so sensitive to it that she could discern whether her mother cooked it by smell.
She had barely finished her question when her mom walked out of the kitchen with a pot of clam
chowder.
Natalie’s eyes widened as she asked, “Mom, why are you here?”
Larissa Zimmer rolled her eyes and shot back, “I’ve barely seen you in the past few months. I miss you.
What, am I unwelcome?”
Her daughter was a source of endless worry for her. Fortunately, Larissa had a great son–in–law.
