Chapter 579
Agony coursed through Natalie’s veins. All those memories rushed to the forefront of her mind. She threw. her phone aside and allowed it to continue ringing.
Initially, she’d thought that Jeremy would give up afterward. Yet, he continued calling. It looked like he would continue calling her until she picked up. If she still didn’t offer any response, he might even come
over.
Natalie did not want to see him at all.
She accepted the call and asked, “Why have you called me?”
Jeremy was silent after Natalie’s icy question. He then asked, “You’ve had a lot to drink, haven’t you?”
Natalie frowned. That explained why Joe found Skylar at hers. He’d asked Jeremy. She replied, “I haven’t drunk much. If you don’t have any pressing matters, I’ve got matters to attend to.”
“Let me come over and take care of you,” said Jeremy.
Natalie sat up immediately. She shouted, “Jeremy, can you stop pretending like nothing has happened between us? Don’t be so selfish. You know me better than anyone, so you must know how I’m feeling now. I can’t face you right now. The second I see you, I think of how you cheated on me with Annabelle. I can’t forget it!”
“Natalie, forgive me this time. Just this once. I can prove that you’ve got a skewed understanding of what happened. You’re the only woman I love,” Jeremy said lowly.
Natalie sounded as though she’d heard a hilarious joke She shot back, “With this single occurrence, you’ve damaged every semblance of trust between us. I can forgive you, but I’ll never get back together with you. From today onward, we can be as close as siblings. However, we cannot be a married couple Can’t we separate amicably?”
Jeremy’s fingers tightened around his phone. After a long pause, he responded, “Impossible. You’ll make sense of this after a while.”
Then, he hung up before Natalie could.
Blood drained from Natalie’s face upon hearing Jeremy’s declaration.
Why was he so set on this? Why would he want a marriage broken by an affair?
On the way back to Galaxy Villa, Skylar curled up with her head on Joe’s lap. She breathed steadily.
Joe stared at Skylar, who was snoozing away without a care in the world. He raised an eyebrow. She’d begun sleeping the second she got into the car. How could she insist that she wasn’t drunk?
Joe complained coldly, “How stubborn.”
Lucas immediately straightened up.
Skylar had already fallen asleep. How could Joe still be angry? He was terrified that Joe would throw her out in a fit of rage.
Then, Joe instructed, “Drive slower.”
“Oh, alright,” Lucas answered. Joe’s mood had changed in an instant. It looked like a hurricane was brewing behind his eyes for a second there. In the next moment, Joe became concerned over how fast he was driving.

Clearly, he was worried that Skylar’s sleep might’ve been affected if Lucas drove too fast.
Lucas had been driving at a sloth’s pace. Many cars had overtaken him. Every one of them looked back at him after doing so. A question seemed to be written across their glares. Lucas was driving such a great car, yet his driving skills were atrocious.
Despite their slow pace, they finally arrived at Galaxy Villa after 40 minutes.
Joe carried Skylar out of the car.
“Mr. Martin, I’ll open the door for you,” Lucas said. After getting out of the car, he immediately ran over to help Joe.
They’d arrived at Galaxy Villa. Yet Joe didn’t want to wake Skylar up. He definitely treasured Skylar. However, Joe tended to remain expressionless, making it difficult for Skylar to detect his love.
Lucas couldn’t help but feel extremely nervous for Joe.
Before walking in, Joe glanced at Lucas. He seemed to have something to say to him. He asked, “Do you have anything you’d like to tell me?”
Lucas responded, “I do have something to say. However, I’m not sure it would be appropriate.” “Speak.”
