Chapter 626


    All of that had truly happened.


    Natalie sighed internally. She must have been selfish, and that was why she couldn’t get past this.


    Kate’s expression changed abruptly. She said softly, “Nath…”


    “Mom, I know what you’ll say, and I know you’ll try to talk some sense into me. I get what you


    mean.”


    Their eyes met for a moment. It was followed by a long stretch of


    silence.


    Kate’s concerned gaze pierced through Natalie.


    Natalie finally broke the silence. “I can try getting back together with Jeremy for a while. If we


    manage to forget what happened and be as inseparable as we once were, we’ll stay married.


    If


    Kate quickly interjected, “I believe you two will be able to love each other like you used to.”


    As her mother, Kate didn’t want Natalie to divorce Jeremy. They couldn’t entrust Natalie to anyone


    else withplete confidence


    but Jeremy.


    Natalie had no words to describe how she felt about Kate’s


    optimism.


    In the past two days, she’d reminisced about growing up with


    Jeremy. She recalled how ecstatic she was when they got together officially.


    These memories made her hesitate.

    Kate didn’t stay for long. She left after giving Natalie a few more words of advice. She felt less


    worried than when she’de.


    After Kate left, Natalie leaned against the door. Then, she slid down slowly.


    15 minutester, Natalie stood back up. She walked to the balcony and looked out. Cars zoomed


    on highways that snaked through a forest of skyscrapers.


    Natalie had grown up in Jipsburg, and this was the first time she felt the urge to escape Jipsburg.


    However, she needed to face her problems head–on. In the end, Natalie made a decision.


    Meanwhile, Jeremy had just left Hughes Residence. He closed his eyes to rx in the car. Visiting


    there always left him feeling exhausted.


    He’d seldom asked Natalie to go with him. The Hughes family’s affairs were veryplicated, and


    Natalie was a simple–minded woman. She would’ve been pushed around easily.


    When Jeremy thought of his situation with Natalie, the crinkle between his brows deepened.


    Suddenly, a call came in. Upon seeing Natalie’s name on the caller ID, he clenched his phone so


    tightly that his knuckles turned white.


    He answered the call. “Nath.”


    “Jeremy, I can go home, and we can try to be together again. However, you must promise me that if


    we remain estranged and can’t love each other like before, we’ll get a divorce,” said Natalie.


    Jeremy frowned when he heard her mention a divorce. However, getting Natalie to return to his side


    had been hard enough.

    “Alright, I promise. I’ll pick you up and take you home now,” Jeremy immediately replied.


    The hint of excitement in Jeremy’s voice made Natalie’s heart ache. She found herself reluctant to


    go home. Yet…

    “Alright, I’m at the apartment.”


    Natalie arrived home half an hourter. Looking at the familiar walls before her, she felt like


    breaking her promise. With her eyes cast downward, she inquired, “Could I sleep in the guest


    room?”


    She couldn’t pretend like nothing had happened.


    Perhaps she would seed in doing so one day.


    Jeremy briefly affixed Natalie with a dark gaze. In the end, he


    nodded and agreed, “Alright.”


    Natalie sighed in relief. From the second she stepped in here–no- from the second sheid eyes on


    Jeremy, memories of him and Annabelle together shed across her mind.


    Those videos and pictures caused her faith in her decision to


    waver.


    She decided to give it another try for the younger selves they had once been, who had been certain


    they would spend their lives together. Perhaps she would eventually forget those scenes.
