Chapter 196
An hour later, Natalie appeared at Jeremy’s company.
She rarely visited the company, fearing that she would disturb Jeremy’s work. The last time she came was before she and Jeremy got married. The receptionist was a new lady, and she didn’t recognize
Natalie.
When she mentioned she was Mrs. Hughes, the receptionist seemed somewhat surprised.
‘Mrs. Hughes? Ah, wait a moment. Let me… Let me ask Ms. Green where Mr. Hughes is now.” The receptionist seemed a bit flustered.
Natalie frowned, thinking that the current receptionist was not as professional as the previous one.
She said, “There’s no need to ask anyone. I’ll go up myself. If he’s in a meeting, I’ll wait in his office and won’t disrupt his work.”
Also, who was Ms. Green? Did Jeremy hire a new secretary? She didn’t remember him mentioning anything about this. He rarely talked to her about work matters, and she rarely inquired.
Although she seldom visited the company, she knew which floor Jeremy’s office was on. So, she took the elevator herself. After she got into the elevator, the receptionist immediately made a phone call,
unbeknownst to her.
Jeremy’s office was on the top floor. He didn’t like being disturbed when he was working, and the top floor was the quietest. Under Jeremy’s leadership, the Hughes‘ company had doubled in size compared to
before.
Nowadays, the Hughes family was one of the most prestigious families in Jipsburg.
Thinking of how capable Jeremy was, Natalie felt proud. He was her husband, after all! The thought of Jeremy being her husband filled Natalie’s heart with happiness.
Soon, the elevator reached the top floor. The moment the elevator doors opened, Natalie saw a tall and beautiful woman right before her. Her ordinary white shirt added a hint of allure to her beauty.
Natalie was momentarily dazzled. She herself was quite pretty too, so she didn’t feel inferior in any way because whether a figure was attractive was subjective to the eye of the beholder.
Annabelle gave Natalie a once–over discreetly. In her eyes, she had that typical proud look of a woman who was aware of her attractiveness.
She greeted Natalie, “Hello.”
Natalie smiled and greeted her back as she made her way to Jeremy’s office with the takeout.
Annabelle stood in the elevator and looked disdainfully at Natalie’s retreating back. It was no wonder Jeremy was so voracious in bed. Natalie couldn’t satisfy him at all.
They got married simply because they were bosom friends and due to the elders of their family Natalle was the only one who thought that Jeremy married her out of love.
Annabelle looked down at her stockings. She felt somewhat annoyed that they were torn again. Fortunately, she always had an extra pair in her bag.
Natalie knocked on the door. After hearing the familiar “come in“, she walked in.
“Hi, my dear husband! Surprise!”
Jeremy looked at Natalie with a smile. “Do you have the results of the check–up?”
“Yes. You’re extremely healthy, Mr. Hughes. So, our child will be very healthy too.” Natalie placed the takeout on the table and took out the check–up report from her bag.
She added, “We can have a child whenever we want now.”
Jeremy walked over to Natalie and hugged her. “Good. We’ll be having a child of our own.”
The moment Natalie was pulled into his embrace, she felt pure bliss.
