    Natalie froze for a moment, feeling a bit disappointed.


    “Okay.”


    After ending the <b>call</b>, she stared at her phone, somewhat lost in thought.


    Jeremy sounded exactly like how <b>he </b>used to after they were intimate. As <b>soon </b>as this thought crossed her mind, she couldn’t help butugh.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Why was she letting her imagination run wild again?


    She decided to look at Austin’s schedule. Even though she was just a minor assistant, she could prepare things in advance. Since she had taken on this job, she wanted to love it and do her best.


    Kenny and his siblings returned home dejectedly. No one went to the hospital today. Instead, they sent at housekeeper,


    Jeffery finally got home to see his children sitting on the sofa and frowned.


    “Why didn’t you go to the hospital? And where’s Skr? Didn’t you get a TV program involved to force <b>her </b>to return? Where is she?”


    There were tons of issues with thepany, and now, there was another mess at home.


    “Dad, today’s n failed. Skr isn’ting <b>back</b>,” Peter said.


    Samuel couldn’t hold back his emotions, “She called the police and even hired awyer. Not only is she noting back, but she’s also making us apologize!”


    “She seems like a different person now,” Maisy said with a hint of jealousy.


    Jeffery was furious.


    “How dare she! You’re all scared just because she hired awyer?”


    Thepany was a mess, and now, so was his home. Anger boiled inside of him.


    “Herwyer is Jacky, the legal counsel for the Martin Group. Not only do we have to apologize, but the TV program team also has to apologize. Dad, we were right. Skr has someone supporting her, and it might be Jacky,” Peter spected, narrowing his eyes.

    “<b>Yes</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>


    *Arrange for me to meet him. I’ll test the waters. I didn’t know Skr is so capable. I thought she was aiming for Mr. Martin’s assistant, Mr. Zier, but turns out she wanted Jacky,” Jeffery said, his <b>eyes </b>gleaming as he made ns.


    Skr prepared a hearty dinner, all simple home–cooked dishes. <b>She </b>also made a fruit sd with the fruit and yogurt from the fridge.


    Beforeing home, she had asked Joe what he wanted to eat and made two dishes ording to his preferences.


    Joe brought over a bottle of red wine. They drank wine while eating.


    Skr drank two or three sses. Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t great, and after a few drinks, she was slightly tipsy.


    After dinner, Joe washed the dishes. Skr had already gone upstairs to bathe when he came out of the kitchen.


    Joe stood before the bathroom door, listening to running water. He felt hot and heavy. After swallowing hard, he pushed the door open and walked in.


    “Weren’t you going to thank me? Do it here then.”
