Chapter 414


    Skr hurried into the car, anxious to avoid being seen by her colleagues. “Let’s go,” she


    told Lucas once she was settled.


    Joe raised an eyebrow, noticing Skr’s eagerness to leave. He wondered what was making


    her so


    anxious.


    “What are you hiding from?” Joe asked in a slightly chilly tone.


    “I’m worried about being seen by colleagues,” Skr replied honestly, ncing outside.


    Relief washed over her when she confirmed no one saw her.


    Joe’s expression darkened. “Am I that embarrassing to be seen with?”


    His thoughts spiraled. Was being his wife such a disgrace? Was he really so terrible that she


    had to avoid being seen with him by her colleagues?


    Skr initially didn’t understand his meaning. But she realized he had misunderstood when


    he said, ” embarrassing to be seen with“.


    “It’s not about you,” she rified. “I just want to avoid the endless questions from my


    colleagues, which always lead toplicated exnations.”


    “Don’t your colleagues know you’re married?” Joe’s expression softened slightly, but his


    tone remained


    cool.


    Skr adjusted her posture and leanedfortably against the seat. “The people at your


    company don’t know you’re married either, do they?” Skr remarked casually.


    Skr pondered the situation, considering who was judging whom.


    To the uninformed observer, it might seem like Joe deliberately avoided her, almost as if he


    were preemptively rejecting her.


    Joe fell silent for a moment. He hadn’t considered that point.


    Lucas kept his eyes on the road, seemingly oblivious to their conversation. However, a


    hidden smile yed on his lips. He sensed Joe growing to value Skr, evidenced by his


    uncharacteristic anger. Yet, neither of them seemed to recognize the other’s feelings.


    Unbeknownst to them, Kenny had been watching for hours and witnessed Skr entering


    Joe’s car.


    “We werepletely wrong!” he eximed in shock. “We never considered Skr because


    we thought


    she wasn’t good enough for Joe, and that he wouldn’t be interested in someone from the


    countryside. But


    it seems the most unexpected scenario is true! This could be ourpany’s big break!”


    Meanwhile, doubt had taken root, and Natalie hadn’t contacted Jeremy in days. Work offered

    escape from the turmoil in her mind.


    Chapte 414


    She hadn’t expected Jeremy to return this soon. However, upon arriving home after work,


    she found him already there. Arge bouquet of flowers stood Invitingly by the door, their


    fragrance filling the vi.


    Jeremy was cooking dinner in the kitchen. The scene, so warm and domestic, felt like a


    distant memory.


    While Jeremy rarely cooked, it wasn’t entirely unheard of. Thest time, however, was nearly


    a year ago.


    Memories stirred within Natalie. Since their marriage, she’d taken pride in preparing meals,


    waiting for him to return home. It was something she enjoyed, and she’d never considered


    hiring help.


    But now, an unsettling calm washed over her. The suitcase by her side served as a constant


    reminder of Jeremy’s betrayal.


    She then nced at the vibrant bouquet. It was indeed beautiful.
