Chapter 368
Natale glanced behind Jeremy as he approached. “Did you leave first?”
He nodded “Yes. I did Come on, lets get in the car.”
When he saw Natalie, he felt panicked and had a premonition that she would leave him.
He abruptly became sober at that point. Why had he seemed to have forgotten her during this period? It seemed that he subconsciously hadn’t wanted to return to her.
Natalie had no idea what Jeremy was thinking, but there was an invisible change in their relationship.
She didn’t say anything as she got into the car. After all, she didn’t know what to say. She even wondered when they’d last had a good conversation.
Tve indeed been too busy during this time. Are you angry with me?” Jeremy suddenly held Natalie’s hand.
Her hand was soft and small. He could hold her whole hand easily.
It was time for him to stop fooling around. He needed to avoid hurting her feelings because of other people.
Natalie shook her head. “I’m not. I understand you’re busy supporting our family. So, I’m not angry.”
Jeremy softly reminded her, “Why did you run away when you saw me just now? We’re married, and you’re my wife. If you have any questions, just ask me. Don’t make random guesses. Understand?”
She was no longer angry, but she felt strange in her heart. Despite her desire to dismiss it, she knew it was there.
The man in front of her was the same Jeremy she had known for many years. But…
“I thought you had something to discuss with your friends. If I had stayed there, I might’ve disturbed you.” Natalie found an excuse.
Jeremy held her hand tightly. “Remember, no matter what happens or what anyone says something to you, don’t believe it.”
“Why did you say that all of a sudden?” Natalie was stunned.
Would someone say something inappropriate to her? Jeremy looked serious.
Jeremy realized his anxiety had caused him to slip up.
He immediately tried to fix it. “It’s nothing. I just thought of it and told you. I travel a lot and don’t have time to be with you. You might overthink it.”
Natalie thought he understood her too well “To be honest, I did think a lot during this period. I’ve thought of many things I shouldn’t.
“After calming down, I kept reminding myself that you’re busy and working hard. I mustn’t overthink it.”
The way she wholeheartedly trusted him made his heart tighten.
What had he been doing all this time? He’d been out of his mind!
He couldn’t lose Natalie. If she knew about the crazy things he’d done during this period, she wouldn’t accept it!
After they got home, they chatted for a while. When Natalie went to take a shower, Jeremy went to the study and made a phone call.
“Submit your resignation letter tomorrow. I’ll pay you. Don’t appear in front of me from now on. Also, don’t have any delusions. You’d better keep our matter a secret.”
His heartlessness was evident in every word he blurted out.
At first, Annabelle had been pleased when she received his call. But then her delight gave way to shock, and she paled immediately. She thought she’d heard him wrong.
