Chapter 509
Back then, the Hughes family called it love. However, Andrew never believed in love from the beginning. And here was Jeremy, who was entangled in an extramarital affair.
Suddenly, his gaze shifted toward Skylar He hadn’t paid much attention to her before. But now, as he looked closely, his eyes widened immediately.
She was a rare beauty. The kind that was both enchanting and pure, with a hint of scholarly elegance.
“Natalie, care to introduce?” Andrew asked.
He had had numerous girlfriends. This was the first time a woman had stunned him at first sight.
Seeing Andrew’s gaze on Skylar, Natalie’s face darkened. “She’s my friend. If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you, Andrew. My friend and I have things to discuss.”
り
The intent to drive him away was obvious. However, Andrew acted as if he didn’t understand and took a seat. His gaze was focused on Skylar. “What’s your name, beauty? Let’s exchange WhatsApp contacts first and chat later.”
“Sorry, I don’t want to,” Skylar replied coldly.
Andrew narrowed his eyes. “Do you know who I am?”
While many people now knew Jeremy as a business genius, Marvin favored Andrew within the Hughes family. Many women willingly threw themselves at him. Yet Skylar didn’t spare him a glance.
Natalie rolled her eyes. “This is my sister–in–law. Andrew, are you trying to win her over? My cousin’s a detective; even the toughest criminals beg for mercy
in front of him.”
Natalie found Andrew incredulous. She couldn’t believe Andrew thought he could charm Skylar right before her. Who did he was?
Men from the Hughes family weren’t good people, except for Morton. Anyone who married into them was unlucky.

Skylar heard the term “sister–in–law” and thought that once Natalie’s matter was settled, she would tell about her marriage to Joe. It wasn’t ideal for Natalie to keep misunderstanding the situation like that.
Andrew hadn’t expected the beautiful woman before him to be married. He had been with a married woman before, but a detective’s wife…
Even if she was stunning, he didn’t want to be involved with her. He feared it could lead to trouble.
It could lead to a lot of mess. Andrew wondered if such a beautiful woman had ever considered marrying into wealth. Marrying a detective and living a tought life was really not a smart move.
“What do you take me for, Natalie? You’ve misunderstood me. I have things to do. You go ahead and eat. Today’s meal is on me. Enjoy,” Andrew generously said as he left.
Natalie declined bluntly. “We’ve already paid. Thanks.”
Andrew’s face stiffened, and his demeanor instantly turned cold. Without saying another word, he headed Straight to the innermost private room.
Even in such a noisy environment, they could hear people inside the private room calling Andrew “Mr. Hughes“.
”
“This is so unlucky. How did we end up meeting him in a city as big as Jipsburg? I don’t want to see anyone from the Hughes family except for Jeremy’s parents,” Natalie said. Her face darkened.
Though she hated Jeremy for cheating, it was his own doing. Morton and Eleanor treated her well. Moreover, both families got along well.
The thought of their divorce affecting them made her want to avoid the whole situation. She didn’t know how to confront them.
Skylar placed some cooked prawns into Natalie’s bowl. “There’s no need to let him affect your mood. He’s not worth it.”
“Skye, you’re right. He’s not worth it.”
As the two laughed and chatted while eating, Andrew took a photo of them and sent it to Jeremy with the message. “Is your wife really considering divorcing
you?”
