Chapter 437


    However, Jeremy still read her text.


    When he saw the pictures, a cruel glint shed across his eyes.


    Natalie seemed to enjoy working with Austin, and they seemed to have severalmon topics.


    Jeremy’s


    face fell.


    Annabelle texted, “Mr. Hughes, I went to a set at the university just now to meet an actor I liked.


    Why has


    Natalie be Austin’s assistant? I’ve liked him for many years.”


    Jeffery did not respond to her. He turned his phone off.


    Annabelle waited for his response, but none came.


    She refused to give up and waited for half an hour more. Yet, he still didn’t text her back. How cruel!


    He’d refused to reply to her texts no matter what she said for the past few days. How could


    someone be so


    merciless the second they got out of bed?


    Nearly no one could aplish such a feat, could they?


    In addition, he’d done so for Natalie, who was inferior to her in every way.


    Annabelle inhaled deeply.


    Did he want her to disappear from his life entirely?


    Well, that was impossible.


    When Natalie returned home from work, she saw Jeremy.


    Jeremy hade home early the past few days, and Natalie struggled to get used to it.


    “You…”


    Jeremy smirked and asked, “What? I’ve beening home every night recently. Is it hard to get


    ustomed to?”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    He felt somewhat nervous for a moment. Although he’d calmed down, if Natalie were to find out


    about


    his past actions…


    Natalie nodded dumbly and said “Right. In the past few months, I’ve been ustomed to your


    frequent business trips and only seeing you once or twice a month. Yet, you’ve beening home


    nightly for the past few days. We’ve seen each other more in the past week than thest two


    monthsbined.”


    She wasn’t used to this!


    you


    “It’s my fault,” said Jeremy with a smile.


    Natalie immediately nodded and said, “Of course it’s your fault. You have no idea how hard


    these two


    2/2


    months have been for me. I’ve been bored to death, you know? Hey? Why do I smell my mom’s


    m


    chowder?”


    She knew this smell too well. No one could reproduce her mom’s recipe. She was so sensitive to it


    that she could discern whether her mother cooked it by smell.


    She had barely finished her question when her mom walked out of the kitchen with a pot of m


    chowder.


    Natalie’s eyes widened as she asked, “Mom, why are you here?”


    Larissa Zimmer rolled her eyes and shot back, “I’ve barely seen you in the past few months. I miss


    you.


    What, am I unwee?”


    Her daughter was a source of endless worry for her. Fortunately, Larissa had a great son–inw.


    Natalie immediately said sweetly, “Of course you’re wee! I was just thinking about going home


    to see you and Dad by the end of the week. How could you leave Dad at home ande over to


    visit me? Why didn’t you take him with you?”


    Larissa nced at Jeremy and said, “Your dad has ns to go fishing with his friends. He doesn’t


    have time to spare toe over. Where have you gone? You’re so tan you look like you’ve just


    emerged from a


    coal mine.”


    Natalie tried to exin, “It’s healthy to be a little tan. I don’t think I’m that dark yet, am I?”


    Larissa sighed. Natalie had abandoned her cushy life as Jeremy’s wife to be an actor’s


    assistant.


    Who would believe her?


    They’d just sat down and began dinner when Larissa suddenly asked, “Just now, I didn’t see you


    when I came over. I asked Jeremy about it, and he said you’ve gone to work as a celebrity’s


    assistant.”


    Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. She faked nonchnce in her reply, “That’s right. This job is ver


    interesting. I quite like it.”


    Jeremy’s gaze turned cold. Yet, no one realized.


    you “Quit fooling around! Resign from your job now. Your responsibility now is to have a child. Why


    would be a celebrity’s assistant? Listen to me. Don’t go to work for now. If you’re really bored,


    Jeremy has said he can open a café or a flower shop for you. Your working hours will be flexible


    and the work is easy. This would be great for you to do while preparing for a baby.”


    Natalie’s guess was proven. Jeremy must’ve asked Larissa toe. Although he agreed for her to


    work, he still didn’t want her to.


    She took a deep breath and ced her fork down. Determination shone on her face as she said,


    “I’m still young and not in a rush to have a kid. Mom, I need to have my dreams and create a life for


    myself. What I’m doing now is what I’m passionate about. What you’re asking me to do isn’t what I


    want.”
