    Natalie was surprised by Austin’s behavior but didn’t think too much of it. He was probably just


    concerned that Jeremy might be giving her a hard time.


    Both Austin and Hank were aware of herplicated rtionship with Jeremy.


    Turning back to her room, she nced at Jeremy and said, “I think we’re done here. My colleagues


    from the studio have organized an event, and I need to attend.”


    With that, she grabbed her phone from the table and made it as if to leave. Jeremy’s expression


    darkened further, and he grabbed her wrist.


    Natalie yanked her arm away sharply. But after doing so, she realized she had overreacted. She


    looked at Jeremy apologetically and asked, “Do you need anything else?”


    Hearing Natalie’s somewhat unfamiliar inquiry, Jeremy felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if someone


    had a tight grip on his heart. He also noticed Austin watching him, seemingly guarding against any


    trouble he might cause Natalie. It wasughable.


    “No,” he said coldly before striding out of the room.


    When he reached the door, he paused for a moment. He exchanged a


    meaningful look with Austin from close range.


    That nce was a silent exchange only they understood. By the time Natalie walked out, Jeremy


    had already left, striding away.


    Once Jeremy was in the elevator, Austin asked Natalie, “Did he give you trouble?”


    Natalie hesitated before replying, “No, we just discussed a few things.”


    Austin nced at Natalie’s still red and swollen eyes but chose not to ask any further questions.


    After Skr got in, Joe took a phone call thatsted over half an hour inside the car. Skr gazed


    out the window, watching the passing scenery.


    But as she kept looking at the nighttime scenery, she started to feel drowsy. Just as she was about


    to close her eyes and sleep, Joe ended the call.


    ‘Are you tired?” he asked.


    Skr, already feeling sleepy, nodded weakly.


    “Lean on me and rest,” Joe offered, gesturing for her toe closer.


    Just as Skr was about to do so, Joe’s phone rang again. The clear ringtone instantly banished


    her sleepiness.


    Joe was surprised by the second call. He frowned slightly and appeared displeased.


    “Go ahead and take the call,” Skr said. She decided to wait until they reached the hotel before


    sleeping.


    When Joe saw the iing call, he paused momentarily and answered it after a brief hesitation.


    The caller likely asked if he was avableter.


    Joe responded coolly, “I don’t have time right now… Let’s see how things are when I return to


    Jipsburg.”


    After a brief conversation, Joe ended the call. He then turned off his phone and set it aside. He


    looked at Skr.


    Noting that she was still gazing out the window, he asked, “Did you enjoy yourself these past few


    days?”


    Skr pulled her gaze away from the window. “Yes, I had a good time.”


    “Is something bothering you?”


    “No, I’m just tired.”


    Skr recalled the Instagram post she had seen earlier from Vera. In it, Vera hinted that this time,


    she would take the initiative.


    She mentioned that, after all these years, the person who apanied her to Fachington was


    someone she had not valued before. Now she realized that the person from the beginning was


    actually the one she wanted to spend her life with.


    They soon arrived at the hotel. As Skr looked up while entering, she noticed

    that nearly every room had a balcony.


    Some people stood on balconies, enjoying drinks and the night view. It was quite a coincidence.
