When Jeremy entered the store, Natalie was the first person he saw. Within moments, he crossed
the room and stood directly in front of her.
At that moment, Natalie was still browsing train and flight tickets, trying to decide whether to travel
by train or take a flight for their uing trip.
Just as she was weighing her options, a shadow appeared over her. Someone was standing right in
front of her. She looked up, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw who it was.
“Jeremy…” Her voice faltered as her face turned pale.
Jeremy gazed down at her, noting the surprise and difort on her face. Gone were the days
when Natalie would greet him with joy and yful banter. Now, there was only shock and a clear
desire to avoid him.
“I just had lunch nearby and saw you here,” Jeremy said calmly.
Natalie quicklyposed herself. “Quite a coincidence. Skr and I are just shopping around.”
Theirst encounter at Jakeman Residence had ended in an awkward confrontation, and now they
had crossed paths again. She truly had no idea how to handle him.
Skr approached just then. Hearing Jeremy im it was just a coincidence, she nced around at
the mall.
The mall was rtively small. It wasn’t exactly a luxurious ce, more of a modest, affordable
shopping center filled with a decent crowd. Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
The idea of it being a random encounter seemed questionable to her, but there was no need to call
him,
out on it.
Clearly, Jeremy still cared deeply for Natalie, and Skr knew he had been looking for an
opportunity to reconcile and possibly remarry her. However, judging by Natalie’s reactions in their
recent meetings, she seemedpletely uninterested in rekindling anything with him.
If anything, she talked more about Austin these days.
Just earlier, while they were having lunch, Austin had called Natalie. Skr had stood off to the
side, not wanting to interrupt.
She held tworge shopping bags in her hands.
“There’s a café downstairs. How about we grab some coffee?” Jeremy suggested calmly. His tone
wasn’t as forceful as it had been before, and that surprised Natalie a little.
She nced at Skr before shaking her head. “Thanks, but Skr and I still want to shop around
a bit.”
Jeremy’s gaze lingered on Natalie for a moment before he looked away, “Alright, maybe next time.
You two enjoy.”
He nodded at Skr before turning and walking out. It did seem like he had just passed by and run
into them.
As soon as he left, Natalie let out a sigh of relief. “He’s different from before.”
Skr nodded. “Yeah, he does seem different. Have you been afraid of seeing himtely?” she
asked, noting how tense Natalie had been the moment Jeremy appeared.
Her usual smile had disappeared, leaving only nervousness and surprise. Once deeply in love, now

Natalie gave a bitter smile. “You know me better than anyone. Even my parents haven’t noticed, but
yes, I’m scared of seeing him.”
They had once been so deeply in

But the memory of his betrayal was painfully vivid, lodged deep in her heart like a thorn. She could
never forget.
She wasn’t sure exactly when it started, but at some point, Natalie had stopped loving Jeremy the
way she once did. It was as though she had finally let go, and now, she saw him more as a brother.
The idea of having romantic feelings for him again seemed impossible.
That was why every time Jeremy gazed at her with such tenderness, she felt a weight on her chest.
“Let’s go check out some shoes. Some things are better left to time to resolve,” Skr suggested
with a lighthearted smile.
When it came to emotions, they were the hardest to untangle.
Natalie quickly took one of the bags from Skr’s hand and cheerfully replied, “I got it.”
At the golf course, the moment Vera arrived, she immediately asked her friends where Joe was.
This golf course was expansive, and today, it was bustling with plenty of yers.
