Chapter 460
Skr had always been toned and curvy, buttely, she’d gotten even thinner. It was as if she’d
defied thews of physics, losing weight without sacrificing her figure. Her waist, especially, seemed
impossibly defined. Yet, Skr herself remained oblivious
to the change.

“Have I lost weight?” Skr asked with a hint of surprise in her voice.
“Have you been hitting the gym for your workouts?” Natalie asked enviously, eyeing Skr’s figure.
Her physique surpassed that of many female celebrities. No one
could a candle to Skr.
“Absolutely not,” Skr replied, her gaze flickering away. “The gym scene just isn’t for me, you
know that.”
Despite her denial, the truth was, she’d been working out every day.
As they chatted and entered the cinema, Natalie shared her own news. “I’ve reconciled with
Jeremy! He’s not as busy anymore andes home every night. The problem is, I’m so swamped
with work that I get homete.”
Thiste schedule put a strain on their intimacy. Whenever Jeremy initiated anything, Natalie was
simply too exhausted. The next morning, seeing his frustrated expression, she couldn’t help but feel
a pang of guilt.
“That’s good to hear! Did you clear up the misunderstanding?” Skr asked.
While she was happy for her friend, a nagging suspicion about Annabelle lingered in
the back of her mind.
“He did lie about something, but I don’t think it’s worth pursuing anymore. Maybe it was just an
unintentional act on his part. I’ll wait for a more suitable time to ask him about it.” Natalie’s tone was
casual, appearing unconcerned.
Perhaps her busy schedule had dulled the impact of the lie. Or maybe it was simply a relief to have
Jeremy home more often, a return to their old routine.
Skr didn’t press further. They found their seats as the movie began. Skr
became engrossed, while Natalie, prone to tears, sniffled throughout the emotional
scenes.

One scene in particr pushed Natalie over the edge. The male supporting character, after
betraying the female lead, had the audacity to y innocent. Even when the truth came out, he tried
to shift the me onto her, using her of being
petty and unreasonable for not forgiving him.
He imed his mistake was insignificant and “something every man did“. He’d even called off their
wedding!
Natalie found that character irresponsible. Sniffling back tears, Natalie vented to
Skr. “Ugh, some men are the worst! They cheat, then me the woman? I’ve never
seen such a despicable man! Wait. I’ve seen one. Christopher is just like him!
“Skye, you need to set your sights higher. Just like when the male lead meets the female leadter,
look at Mr. Powell–he’s so charming! The female lead deserves better, and so do you.
“If I were the female lead, I would give that scumbag two hard ps for sure. Knocking out a couple
of teeth would really satisfy me,” Natalie said.
Skr chuckled softly. “Thanks, Nat. You’re right. I should set my sights higher.” In her heart, she’d
already decided on a simple, peaceful life with Joe. That, she believed, was more than enough.
Natalie beamed with pride. “That’s my girl! Strong and decisive!”
Meanwhile, Joe had just finished a basketball game. As he wiped off the sweat, noticed a
WhatsApp message on his phone.
It was from Skr. He paused, his attention focused on his phone.

Rowan walked over and saw Joe engrossed in his phone. Realizing Joe might be leaving, he
immediately approached to remind him. “Aren’t we supposed to y a few more rounds today? No
one leaves early. We finally got everyone together. Let’s y until we’ve had our fill. Joe, put your
phone down. Even if someone offers you a multi–billion dor contract, you still have to set it
aside.”
“I’m just replying to a message,” Joe curtly replied Rowan as he typed a reply to Skr. “I was
ying basketball. What’s up?”
He sent it immediately, then regretted it. It sounded too cold. After a moment’s
hesitation, he called Skr.
The phone rang for a long time, but Skr didn’t answer.
