Chapter 440


    1/2


    Natalie looked back in the direction of Hank’s and Austin’s gazes.


    Upon seeing that Jeremy hadn’t left, she waved at him.


    Jeremy smiled and nodded at Natalie before speeding off.


    After Jeremy left, Natalie turned back and said, “Yes, he’s my husband. He drove me here since he


    was


    free.”


    Hank stared at the limited edition car. There couldn’t be more than two of those in the whole of


    Jipsburg


    City.


    He nced meaningfully at Austin before asking Natalie, “Are you just here to experience the lives


    of us


    peasants?”


    Natalie exined, “I’m not here to do that. I’m here to work!”


    She did not want to be misunderstood by them.


    If she had known this would happen, she would have told Jeremy to leave as soon as possible.


    She told Hank and Austin she was married but nothing about their financial situation.


    Jeremy had driven a limited edition car today. With a single nce, one would know it wasn’t a


    cheap car.


    Hank said nothing else. However, he did not believe her for even a second. That being said, Natalie


    did not behave like a privileged housewife. At work, she was hardworking and willing to suffer.


    He’d seen the man in the car. He seemed familiar, as though they met each other before, He was


    also handsome, so much so that he could’ve been an actor.

    As an agent, he knew that a man like him wouldn’t be any less sessful in the entertainment


    industry. with proper management. Of course, he could tell that Natalie’s husband probably dabbled


    in the business


    world.


    Austin seemed to be deep in thought. However, he was likely immersed in his character since they


    were about to begin filming.


    Natalie didn’t dare disturb him, and she didn’t continue exining herself. She would use her


    actions to prove how much she valued this job opportunity.


    The next day, Skr woke up and found herself nestled in Joe’s embrace.


    He came back?


    When had hee home? Why hadn’t she heard anything?


    As she pondered on it, Joe suddenly turned around, squashing her.


    2/2


    His eyes had been closed in deep sleep moments ago. Now, there was not a hint of drowsiness in


    his eyes. They glinted like stars in the night sky.


    Joe asked, “Have you forgotten what you promised mest night?”


    There was a rasp in his morning voice. However, it was dangerously sexy.


    Skr had just woken up. Her reactions were slow. She asked, “What have I promised youst


    night?”


    Why did she have no impression of that?


    “You’re not nning to break your promise, are you? I’ll y the recording ofst night,” Joe was an


    intelligent man. He’d guessed that Skr would forget what she’d said while drifting in and out of


    sleep.


    As Joe picked his phone up and yed yesterday’s recording, Skr froze. She scoured her brain


    for this


    memory.


    “I wasn’t awakest night. It doesn’t count. Let me get up to make breakfast,” said Skr while


    pushing at


    Joe.


    However, he remained unmoved no matter how hard she pushed at him. He was holding her down


    tightly.


    As she struggled, her face flushed. She could feel the change in his body. It shocked her so much


    she


    didn’t dare to move.


    Joe leaned down to kiss her. He was rather rough with her, as though he was punishing her for her


    ploy to


    break her promise.


    Skr’s breathing became irregr from his actions.


    Joe whispered, “If you don’t fulfill your promise, why don’t you guess whether I’ll let you go to work


    today?”


    In such matters, men were naturally gifted. She believed that he wouldn’t let her go to work! Skr


    looked up and kissed his Adam’s apple.


    His eyes darkened. He seemed like a lion about to pounce. He said huskily, “Go on.”


    Afterward, Joe leaned against the bed frame.


    Lust lingered in his eyes.
