Chapter 628


    Joe stared at Skr for a long time before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.


    Joe toweled his hair dry carelessly after emerging from the shower.


    The screen of his phone was bright as countless messages came in one after another. He’d muted


    it, so the room waspletely


    silent.


    He stood by the bed and read through his WhatsApp messages.


    The light was reflected from his screen onto his sharp features.


    A few minutester, he turned his phone off and threw it aside. Then, he got back into bed and


    embraced Skr.


    That night, two people couldn’t fall asleep.


    Jeremy and Natalie stayed in separate rooms. It was the first time they’d slept in different beds while


    in the same house.


    Their rooms were right next to each other, and they were only separated from each other by a wall.


    It seemed to be a representation of the barrier between their hearts.


    Jeremy frowned deeply. He only fell asleepte into the night.


    As for Natalie, shey in bed without looking at her phone or anything else. However, she couldn’t


    sleep. Memories surfaced before her eyes.


    She felt suffocated by some of the scenes she recalled. Natalie couldn’t calm down. Even though it


    was the middle of the night,


    2/3


    she couldn’t help but want to escape. However, another voice within her told her she needed to try


    reconciling with Jeremy. After all, he was suffering along with her


    Natalie was struggling. However, Jeremy was too.


    The voices within her warred throughout the night. Natalie only fell


    asleep a few hours before dawn broke. However, she wasn’t sleeping deeply.


    When Natalie heard the neighboring door creak open, Natalie startled awake. She immediately


    dashed outside.

    Coincidentally, she ran into Jeremy, who had been closing the door as softly as he could manage.


    He was stunned for a second before asking gently, “Why don’t you get a few more hours of sleep?”


    “I’ll go make breakfast,” Natalie said. Reflexively, she averted her eyes upon meeting Jeremy’s.


    Immediately, she began making her way downstairs.


    Jeremy watched Natalie walk away. He noticed that she’d be much thinner. His heart


    clenched.


    Then, Jeremy followed her downstairs.


    Staring at the familiar kitchen, Natalie was momentarily disoriented.


    She felt as though they’d traveled back to a time when everything hadn’t happened yet. Back then,


    she would always get up to prepare breakfast whenever Jeremy was home. Natalie still


    remembered how happy she’d been. However…


    Natalie opened the fridge. Most of the vegetables she’d brought had rotted. Although everything


    here seemed familiar, things had changed.


    3/3


    Jeremy probably hadn’t touched anything inside the fridge after she left.


    “I haven’t been eating at home in the past few weeks. So, I didn’t use the fridge much. A few things


    must’ve expired. I’ll help throw them out,” Jeremy offered gently.


    Natalie awoke from her trance. She stiffened before conceding, ” Alright, throw them out. These


    vegetables have been here for a long time. They’ve rotted and be inedible. Let’s have pasta for


    breakfast. We have pre–cooked sauces, so breakfast will be ready


    soon.”


    “Let’s cook together.”


    “There’s no need for that!” Natalie refused loudly. Her reaction appeared to be reflexive.


    She could manage it herself.
