“Something urgent came up at the office, I need to head over there first. I’ll be home tonight,” Jeremy said.
To Natalie, his voice sounded cold, sending chills through the phone and into her heart. The disappointment welled up inside her, and her eyes began to reddened.
“Will you come home right after work tonight?”
Normally, she could be as playful and carefree as she wanted with him. But recently, she felt a wall between them, as if he didn’t care about her as much anymore.
“Yes. If nothing comes up, I’ll be home after work,” Jeremy’s voice softened as though the thought of coming home was something he looked forward to.
Natalie felt tears of frustration and sadness streaming down her face. She didn’t know why she was being so emotional.
Business trips were normal, and going to the office was normal, too. She couldn’t expect him to comfort her like he did at home when his colleagues were present.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” she said softly.
After ending the call, she felt lost and wandered back to the kitchen. Looking at the lavish breakfast she had eagerly prepared, she felt even more disheartened.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that Jeremy didn’t love her as much anymore and that he seemed to be growing more distant.
Thinking about Nancy, a sudden, unsettling thought crossed her mind.
“Could Jeremy be getting tired of me?”
They hadn’t been intimate in quite some time. For a couple married just over a year, going one or two months without any sex seemed unusual.
While it was true that Jeremy had been traveling a lot for work recently, there had neo been plenty of nights when he was home. Thinking back, he always seemed
austed and went to bed early.
Natalie had been understanding, knowing how busy he was with work. But now that the thought had crossed her mind, she couldn’t dismiss it so easily.
Yet, it seemed impossible.
They had known each other since childhood and were so familiar with one another.
Even when various celebrities had pursued him, he hadn’t given them a second.
glance. He only ever had eyes for her.
Natalie bit her lip and tried to reassure herself that Jeremy must simply be overworked.
In the car, Victor Kirk discreetly glanced at the rearview mirror, catching sight of Jeremy and Annabelle locked in a passionate kiss.
He sighed inwardly.
Natalie had no idea what was going on.
Victor had witnessed Jeremy and Natalie’s love story firsthand. He knew how much
Jeremy adored Natalie and how Natalie’s heart was filled with love for him.
Their relationship had always seemed enviable. But now, only a short while after
their marriage, Jeremy was having an affair with Annabelle.
What if Natalie found out? She would be devastated.
Yet, as Jeremy’s driver, he had to keep quiet. His job depended on it, and he needed
to support his family. The things that happened in the car had to stay there.
Annabelle was the type of woman many men would find irresistible. She would likely make a name for herself if she entered the entertainment industry.
Victor had worked by Jeremy’s side for years and had seen women even more beautiful than Annabelle try to pursue Jeremy. So why had Jeremy given in this time?
“Come to my place. I want to cook lunch for you, Mr. Hughes. You haven’t tasted my cooking yet, right?” Annabelle’s breathing was a little uneven, her voice full of charming inquiry.

Any man would melt at the sound of her voice.
Jeremy frowned slightly, but under Annabelle’s expectant gaze, he still agreed. “Okay.
Delighted, Annabelle leaned over to kiss his lips. “I’ve never cooked for a man before. You’re the first! But my cooking isn’t that good. I hope you don’t mind.”
Annabelle’s reliance on him made Jeremy’s eyes darken.
