Chapter 628
Joe stared at Skylar for a long time before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
Joe toweled his hair dry carelessly after emerging from the shower.
The screen of his phone was bright as countless messages came in one after another. He’d muted it, so the room was completely
silent.
He stood by the bed and read through his WhatsApp messages.
The light was reflected from his screen onto his sharp features.
A few minutes later, he turned his phone off and threw it aside. Then, he got back into bed and embraced Skylar.
That night, two people couldn’t fall asleep.
Jeremy and Natalie stayed in separate rooms. It was the first time they’d slept in different beds while in the same house.
Their rooms were right next to each other, and they were only separated from each other by a wall. It seemed to be a representation of the barrier between their hearts.
Jeremy frowned deeply. He only fell asleep late into the night.
As for Natalie, she lay in bed without looking at her phone or anything else. However, she couldn’t sleep. Memories surfaced before her eyes.
She felt suffocated by some of the scenes she recalled. Natalie couldn’t calm down. Even though it was the middle of the night,
2/3
she couldn’t help but want to escape. However, another voice within her told her she needed to try reconciling with Jeremy. After all, he was suffering along with her
Natalie was struggling. However, Jeremy was too.
The voices within her warred throughout the night. Natalie only fell
asleep a few hours before dawn broke. However, she wasn’t sleeping deeply.
When Natalie heard the neighboring door creak open, Natalie startled awake. She immediately dashed outside.
Coincidentally, she ran into Jeremy, who had been closing the door as softly as he could manage. He was stunned for a second before asking gently, “Why don’t you get a few more hours of sleep?”
“I’ll go make breakfast,” Natalie said. Reflexively, she averted her eyes upon meeting Jeremy’s. Immediately, she began making her way downstairs.
Jeremy watched Natalie walk away. He noticed that she’d become much thinner. His heart clenched.
Then, Jeremy followed her downstairs.
Staring at the familiar kitchen, Natalie was momentarily disoriented.
She felt as though they’d traveled back to a time when everything hadn’t happened yet. Back then, she would always get up to prepare breakfast whenever Jeremy was home. Natalie still remembered how happy she’d been. However…
Natalie opened the fridge. Most of the vegetables she’d brought had rotted. Although everything here seemed familiar, things had changed.
