Chapter 629
Jeremy froze for a second. He gazed at Natalie deeply and said softly, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Natalie dared not look at Jeremy. She knew how hurtful her
rejection had been. She’d agreed to come back and try to forget what had happened. But now…
Natalie stared at the pasta as it softened in the boiling water, lost in her thoughts.
When she finished preparing two plates of pasta, Jeremy had
changed out of his pajamas. He had put a suit on and sat before the dining table. He was scrolling through the news on his phone.
This felt like a scene from their past.
Natalie was disoriented. After a few moments, she remembered the plates of pasta she was holding. She walked over and placed one plate in front of Jeremy.
Jeremy looked at the pasta before him before looking up at
Natalie. He said softly, “Nath, let’s take things slowly.”
Natalie’s eyes welled with tears. She wanted to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth.
“I know what you’re going through, Nath. Believe me, I feel the

Upon seeing that, Natalie quickly made her stand. She said, “I was much happier at work. I won’t be able to stay at home doing nothing all day.”
She didn’t want to continue living like how she did upon marrying Jeremy.
Before finding out about Jeremy’s affair, Natalie tended to
overthink. It had only gotten worse now. She didn’t want to stay at home.
After a moment of silence, Jeremy gave in and said, “Alright.”
While Skylar was out on her lunch break, she received an overseas call. When she saw the number, she thought it was a scam call. She’d seen numbers like this published online by organizations policing cybercrime.
“Hello?”
“Save me… Quick, save me… I beg you. I had made a mistake. It’s all because of Christopher. He brought me into this! I beg you, Skylar!”
Skylar immediately recognized the voice. It was Maisy. However, she sounded weak. Maisy spoke in a whisper, seemingly unwilling
