Skylar decided to keep it to herself for now. She could tell that Natalie’s emotional state had been volatile recently.
“Jeremy met me yesterday. He still hasn’t agreed to get a

worried. In addition, I’m scared they’ll convince me to forgive Jeremy.”
Skylar asked, “Are you set on divorcing Jeremy? Would you remain determined to divorce him even if he’d cheated on you due to circumstances out of his control?”
Natalie–chuckled and answered, “Circumstances he couldn’t control? Even if he’d been drugged and thus slept with Annabelle without even knowing, I wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“Furthermore, he might’ve slept with her involuntarily the first time. Yet, a long time has elapsed since then. Is he still sleeping with her involuntarily? That video still replays in my brain now.
“Even if he could give me an explanation for his affair, we wouldn’t be able to return to how we had been prior to this incident. I would rather give up on a broken marriage than persevere on this road.”
Skylar said firmly, “I’ll support you no matter what happens, regardless of the decisions you make,”
Tears pooled in Natalie’s eyes uncontrollably. She replied, “I’ll always support you too.”
Suddenly, she felt that they were being overly courteous with each other.
Natalie forced a smile and pointed at the food on the table. She implored, “Quick, try some. This is our favorite fried chicken. My house is too far from our school, so I had someone send it over.”
Skylar swallowed. She remarked, “So that’s why it looks familiar.”
The fried chicken stall was quite small. It was the only one of its kind in Jipsburg, located near their old
school.
The students were probably the only ones who knew how delicious it was.
“I also sent someone to buy the smoothies for us. Although it’s from a chain store, the other outlets don’t give as much toppings as this one outside our school,” Natalie reminisced. She leaned on Skylar’s shoulder.
Skylar also took a trip down memory lane. She said, “Back then, you drank two smoothies a day. Then, weight. You drank eight smoothies a day at you saw online that a smoothie–only diet would help you lose

“You even exclaimed about how you were the only one who’d slimmed dow

after those fattening meals. You’ve got a miraculous body!” Natalie said in admiration.
After finishing their smoothies, Natalie took out a bottle of champagne. It would go well with their fried chicken and nuts.
They drank till ten at night.
Suddenly, someone called them in their drunk state.
Natalie slurred, “Skye, someone’s calling you.”
Skylar had a low tolerance for alcohol and was reacting sluggishly. She picked her phone up Without checking who was calling, she accepted the call and greeted, “Hello.”

Joe said, “I’m outside Natalie’s neighborhood. Tell me when you’re ready to leave, and I’ll fetch you home.” Skylar blinked. She thought she’d misheard him and repeated, “Fetch me home?”
She held her phone up and stared intent/
at the caller’s ID. Then, she said, “Oh, it’s really Joe. Why would
you be kind enough to fetch me home? I’m not going home, definitely not.”
“Have you been drinking?”
Skylar could imagine Joe raising an eyebrow at her coldly in her mind’s eye. How terrifying.
Thankfully, she was a brave woman. She wasn’t scared of him at all.
“Correct. I’ve been drinking. I’ve drunk so much winel” she hung up immediately after finishing.
A chilling gleam flashed across his eyes when Joe realized she’d hung up on her. He immediately called Jeremy to ask him which floor Natalie was on.
