Chapter 408


    Natalie didn’t think Annabelle was Jeremy’s type. During their movie or TV nights, Jeremy never


    seemed interested in actresses who looked like Annabelle. Moreover, Jeremy wasn’t one to pursue


    someone readily avable; he seemed to prefer more challenging pursuits.


    Skr didn’t dwell on it. She just had a nagging suspicion. Ultimately, she trusted Jeremy’s


    character and their rtionship. Besides, their situation was entirely different from hers and


    Christopher’s. Furthermore, Jeremy and Natalie were familiar faces to each other’s families.


    At that moment, Annabelle was carrying several shopping bags filled with newly purchased clothes.


    She was on the phone with Jeremy.


    “Mr. Hughes, please don’t do that again like this morning. I slept in until 10:00 am, and my back is


    killing me,” she said in a soft, flirtatious voice.


    A passerby overheard her conversation, his eyes widening in shock. Was this something meant for


    his ears?


    The passerby couldn’t help but be captivated by her stunning figure. Annabelle possessed the kind


    of beauty that left him almost dizzy. If things went further, he knew he wouldn’t be able to resist.


    Annabelle noticed the man staring at her with lust after ending the call.


    A disdainful smile yed across her lips as she pondered how an ordinary man like him could dare


    to think such thoughts about her. How audacious!


    The man scoffed at her disdainful look. “Mr. Hughes, huh? You’re probably just his little ything!


    What’s with the act?”


    Annabelle bristled at his mocking tone. “You!”


    The man leered. “What’s the matter? Are you trying to seduce me now? You’re a looker, I’ll give you


    that. Beg me nicely, and maybe I’ll consider spending the night.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    With that vulgar remark, the man disappeared, leaving Annabelle fuming. His words struck a deep


    chord, echoing the truth she desperately tried to ignore.


    She was indeed a ything to Jeremy.


    “No,” she thought, “I’ll be Mrs. Hughes!”


    A nce at her watch told her lunch was almost over. She decided to grab a quick bite before


    heading to the Gardner Group across the street. First, though, she needed to get something from


    her car.


    Skr and Natalie parted ways after lunch.


    Skr returned to her workroom to continue her restoration work.
