Chapter 634
They’d sweated profusely just now. Both of them were rather hungry. They quietly ate.
After they were done eating, Joe asked, “Aren’t you curious about where I’ve been these past few
days?”
Skr looked at him and asked, “Didn’t you say you had something to handle?”
“A few members of the Martin family hade back. went to meet them,” Joe said lowly.
Skr had guessed that. However, she nodded and replied, “Alright, then. Do you need me to help
you with anything?”
The fact that Molly hade to see her meant that she wouldn’t be left in peace. Of course, Joe
wouldn’t be living a serene life either.
Suddenly, Skr recalled Molly’s words. Joe had a woman he loved.
“Not for now. Perhaps I’ll take you to meet them in a few days. You only have to remember that
Gloria is the most important member of my family. As to everyone else, they’re only rtives who
share the samest name. They’re unimportant,” Joe said coldly.
She and Joe were rather simr. They only cared about Gloria. For her, it didn’t matter who was in
the Martin family and what they wanted. They had nothing to do with her. Gloria was Skr’s only
concern.
Looking at Skr’s kind expression, Joe noticed he’d be extremely cold upon talking about
the
Martins. It might scare Skr or even cause her to misunderstand the situation.
He was about to offer an exnation, but Skr had walked over to turn on the television. She
seemedpletely unaffected. Joe swallowed his words and went to the couch to watch TV with
Skr. 1
Although they were sitting together, they harbored thoughts of their own. Skr’s eyes were affixed
on the television. However, her thoughts were far away.
Natalie waved goodbye to Austin and Hank as their car stopped in front of her house. She said,
“Thanks, Mr. Powell. Thank you, Hank. I’ll head in now. See you guys tomorrow.”
Austin’s event for the night had just ended. Due to thete hour, they’d asked the driver to drop her
at home first.
“Be careful. See you tomorrow,” Austin replied while nodding.
“Alright, you too!”
Natalie watched as Austin left.
Then, she walked home.
Looking at the brightly lit mansion, Natalie knew that Jeremy was home. He’de home every day
for
the past week.
The awkwardness between them hadn’t receded even though they saw each other daily. They kept
their distance and behaved courteously.
Natalie inhaled deeply as thoughts whirled through her head. Then, she walked in.
A silhouette stood by the window of the second floor. Jeremy noticed Natalie’s hesitation in entering
the
house.
At the same time, Hank said to Austin, “Why has she moved back here? Has she gotten back
together
with Jeremy? That exins why she asked to end her break ande to work.”

After asking the question, he observed Austin’s expression.

Austin’s jaw was clenched. He hadn’t said a word since Natalie left. Hank had guessed what was
going
1. on.
“It looks like they’ve gotten back together. With that temper of hers, she wouldn’t have moved in
with him. Natalie looks like a perfectionist. Yet, she managed to ive with Jeremy’s affair. Indeed, love
is the answer to all things. Marriage is hard,” sighed Hank.
It was time for Austin to give up on her.
Austin’s eyes glinted frostily as he stated, “She definitely went home for a reason.”
Based on his understanding of Natalie, Jeremy wouldn’t be able to repair the broken rtionship
once the damage had been done. There was no point in fantasizing about returning to how things
were before the incident.
They said a broken mirror was difficult to repair, but it wasn’t merely a saying.
