However, Jeremy still read her text.
When he saw the pictures, a cruel glint flashed across his eyes.
Natalie seemed to enjoy working with Austin, and they seemed to have several common topics. Jeremy’s
face fell.
Annabelle texted, “Mr. Hughes, I went to a set at the university just now to meet an actor I liked. Why has
Natalie become Austin’s assistant? I’ve liked him for many years.”
Jeffery did not respond to her. He turned his phone off.
Annabelle waited for his response, but none came.
She refused to give up and waited for half an hour more. Yet, he still didn’t text her back. How cruel! He’d refused to reply to her texts no matter what she said for the past few days. How could someone be so
merciless the second they got out of bed?
Nearly no one could accomplish such a feat, could they?
In addition, he’d done so for Natalie, who was inferior to her in every way.
Annabelle inhaled deeply.
Did he want her to disappear from his life entirely?
Well, that was impossible.
When Natalie returned home from work, she saw Jeremy.
Jeremy had come home early the past few days, and Natalie struggled to get used to it.
“You…”
Jeremy smirked and asked, “What? I’ve been coming home every night recently. Is it hard to get accustomed to?”
He felt somewhat nervous for a moment. Although he’d calmed down, if Natalie were to find out about
his past actions…
Natalie nodded dumbly and said “Right. In the past few months, I’ve been accustomed to your frequent business trips and only seeing you once or twice a month. Yet, you’ve been coming home nightly for the past few days. We’ve seen each other more in the past week than the last two months combined.”
She wasn’t used to this! Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s my fault,” said Jeremy with a smile.
Natalie immediately nodded and said, “Of course it’s your fault. You have no idea how hard these two

months have been for me. I’ve been bored to death, you know? Hey? Why do I smell my mom’s clam
chowder?”
She knew this smell too well. No one could reproduce her mom’s recipe. She was so sensitive to it that she could discern whether her mother cooked it by smell.
She had barely finished her question when her mom walked out of the kitchen with a pot of clam
chowder.
Natalie’s eyes widened as she asked, “Mom, why are you here?”
Larissa Zimmer rolled her eyes and shot back, “I’ve barely seen you in the past few months. I miss you.
What, am I unwelcome?”
Her daughter was a source of endless worry for her. Fortunately, Larissa had a great son–in–law.
Natalie immediately said sweetly, “Of course you’re welcome! I was just thinking about going home to see you and Dad by the end of the week. How could you leave Dad at home and come over to visit me? Why didn’t you take him with you?”
Larissa glanced at Jeremy and said, “Your dad has plans to go fishing with his friends. He doesn’t have time to spare to come over. Where have you gone? You’re so tan you look like you’ve just emerged from a
coal mine.”
Natalie tried to explain, “It’s healthy to be a little tan. I don’t think I’m that dark yet, am I?”
Larissa sighed. Natalie had abandoned her cushy life as Jeremy’s wife to become an actor’s assistant.
Who would believe her?
They’d just sat down and began dinner when Larissa suddenly asked, “Just now, I didn’t see you when I came over. I asked Jeremy about it, and he said you’ve gone to work as a celebrity’s assistant.”
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. She faked nonchalance in her reply, “That’s right. This job is ver interesting. I quite like it.”
Jeremy’s gaze turned cold. Yet, no one realized.
you “Quit fooling around! Resign from your job now. Your responsibility now is to have a child. Why would become a celebrity’s assistant? Listen to me. Don’t go to work for now. If you’re really bored, Jeremy has said he can open a café or a flower shop for you. Your working hours will be flexible and the work is easy. This would be great for you to do while preparing for a baby.”
Natalie’s guess was proven. Jeremy must’ve asked Larissa to come. Although he agreed for her to work, he still didn’t want her to.
She took a deep breath and placed her fork down. Determination shone on her face as she said, “I’m still young and not in a rush to have a kid. Mom, I need to have my dreams and create a life for myself. What I’m doing now is what I’m passionate about. What you’re asking me to do isn’t what I want.”
