Chapter 167


    Charles wrote, “Karma is a bitch. Don’t ever think about getting away, Samuel!”


    Samuel fumed at the message and typed, “Charles, mark my words, you’ll pay for this!”


    But as he tapped away on his phone, he was met with a notification. “You are no longer friends with


    the other party.” He’d been blocked!


    Samuel’s anger twisted his face even more. One day, he’d have Charles and Skr groveling at


    his feet, begging for forgiveness!


    Skr was lounging on her bed and managing Amazon orders when Natalie’s call came through.


    “Hey there, trophy wife! What’s got you calling me today?” Skr asked.


    “My husband’s busy today. I’m alone in this empty vi, feeling lonely and bored. Skye, I’m thinking


    of having a baby,” Natalie said, caressing her t belly.


    They hadn’t been taking precautions recently. There might be a little one on the way already. If so,


    she


    wouldn’t have time for idle thoughts.


    Skr was slightly surprised, “Is Jeremy busy even on Saturdays?” Speaking of Jeremy’s workload,


    it seemed Joe hadn’t returned either.


    “He’s probably caught up in some tough projecttely, and he’s really dedicated to it. But I don’t


    know, maybe because I’m always home, I feel like he’s not as attentive as before,” Natalie admitted,


    her insecurity evident. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Skr suggested, “Why not consider finding some work yourself?”


    “I want to, but Jeremy and my mother–inw won’t allow it. She wants me to take care of Jeremy at


    home. My own mom isn’t too thrilled about the idea either.” Natalie sighed.


    “They’re all pushing me to have a baby, and I’m gearing up for it. Maybe we’ll have some good


    news soon.” Her mom believed having a child would bring fulfillment to every day. Jeremy had


    even mentioned wanting three kids in the future.


    Skr sensed Natalie wasn’t quite herself and asked, “Have you talked to Jeremy?”


    “I’ve been meaning to discuss finding work with him, but he’s been too busytely. He’s often on


    business trips. He’s only been home for seven or eight days this month.” Natalie sighed heavily.


    She felt like the once lively Natalie was slowly morphing into a resentful woman with no aspirations.


    “Oh, Jeremy’s back! Skye, let’s catch upter!” Natalie hung up and ran downstairs.


    “Honey!” She rushed into Jeremy’s arms.


    Jeremy stiffened slightly when he hugged Natalie. He then gently asked, “You haven’t slept yet?”


    “I couldn’t. I was waiting for you to be back. We haven’t seen each other for days,” Natalie said


    adorably. Suddenly, she froze and sniffed Charles vigorously. “Do you have another woman,


    Jeremy?”


    Jeremy’s expression tensed. “What nonsense is this?”


    “You smell of a perfume that I used before. You said you didn’t like it, so I stopped using it. Jeremy,


    you know I have OCD. I won’t forgive you if you mess around with other women!” Natalie said


    angrily, her eyes


    red.


    Jeremy’s eyes deepened, his tone tinged with helplessness. “I had a dinner tonight. Maybe


    someone wearing that perfume identally brushed against me. Nath, you’ve been offtely.”


    Natalie suddenly felt deted. “I’m sorry. I overreacted.


    “Let’s n a trip in a few days, just to unwind,” Jeremy suggested.


    “Promise this time you won’t bail on me.”


    On Sunday, Skr arrived at the restaurant following the address sent by Annie.
