Chapter 563
Natalie retorted coldly, “You blame it on drunkenness? Is that your reason for not wanting a divorce? Jeremy, no matter your excuse, you’re tainted in my eyes. Tainted, do you understand?”
Jeremy felt a sharp pain in his chest. His face turned pale. “Natalie, you drank too much. You’re not thinking clearly.”
“No, I did drink, but I’m not drunk. I’m clearer than I’ve ever been. Jeremy, from the day you cheated, we were done. Completely done.
Natalie’s face was also pale.
Each word she spoke cut into Jeremy and herself as well.
Jeremy’s lips tightened, his presence growing colder. “We’ll talk when you’re sober. Get some rest.
With those words, he walked out. He gently closed the door behind
him.
The moment the door shut, tears streamed down Natalie’s
reddened eyes. She crouched down, and her head buried in her knees. She cried silently.
She hated Jeremy. She hated him deeply.
All the happiness they once had was shattered. The love she had always been so proud of now seemed like a cruel joke.
And now Jeremy had the nerve to stand before her and make excuses. He claimed that it wasn’t what she thought, that it was just a physical betrayal. He even suggested it might have been a drunken mistake.
Natalie wondered if he even understood what he was saying.
Chapter 563
Drunkenness didn’t absolve him from cheating. Just because he couldn’t resist temptation didn’t mean it wasn’t his fault.
When Rowan arrived at Mystic Bar with his friends and spotted. Joe drinking alone, he finally confirmed he wasn’t being tricked.
“Damn it! It really is Joe. Doesn’t he rarely come to places like this?
someone asked Rowan.
Rowan raised an eyebrow. “You said he rarely came here, not that he has never been here before.”
For Joe, this place was indeed too noisy.
Though Joe was drinking alone, several women nearby attempted to approach him and initiate conversations. Anyone with eyes could tell Joe wasn’t an ordinary man.
However, it was clear Joe wasn’t here to have fun. He looked like he was trying to drown his sorrows.
Rowan walked over briskly and sat beside Joe. “What made you come to a bar?”
“To drink,” Joe replied. He handed Rowan a bottle.
Rowan looked at the offered bottle and couldn’t help but twitch his lips. “You’re just drinking like this? Didn’t you ask me to bring people?”
He had brought both men and women. The men looked uneasy when they saw Joe, while the women blushed, and their hearts skipped a beat.
This was Joe Martin, someone they had never dreamed of meeting before.

If one of them could catch Joe’s eye, their status at home would surely rise.
Rowan knew what these women were thinking and didn’t stop them. Joe wasn’t as resistant to people getting close to him as he
used to be.
Felicia Ingram sat next to him. She had a delicate, almost angelic appearance. She maintained just the right amount of distance. without encroaching too much.
“Mr. Martin, we’ve actually met twice before. The last time was just a few days ago at a charity gala,” Felicia said softly. Her voice was gentle and pleasant.
She even looked a bit like Skylar.
