Chapter 634
They’d sweated profusely just now. Both of them were rather hungry. They quietly ate.
After they were done eating, Joe asked, “Aren’t you curious about where I’ve been these past few days?”
Skylar looked at him and asked, “Didn’t you say you had something to handle?”
“A few members of the Martin family had come back. went to meet them,” Joe said lowly.
Skylar had guessed that. However, she nodded and replied, “Alright, then. Do you need me to help you with anything?”
The fact that Molly had come to see her meant that she wouldn’t be left in peace. Of course, Joe wouldn’t be living a serene life either.
Suddenly, Skylar recalled Molly’s words. Joe had a woman he loved.
“Not for now. Perhaps I’ll take you to meet them in a few days. You only have to remember that Gloria is the most important member of my family. As to everyone else, they’re only relatives who share the same last name. They’re unimportant,” Joe said coldly.
She and Joe were rather similar. They only cared about Gloria. For her, it didn’t matter who was in the Martin family and what they wanted. They had nothing to do with her. Gloria was Skylar’s only concern.
Looking at Skylar’s kind expression, Joe noticed he’d become extremely cold upon talking about the
Martins. It might scare Skylar or even cause her to misunderstand the situation.
He was about to offer an explanation, but Skylar had walked over to turn on the television. She seemed completely unaffected. Joe swallowed his words and went to the couch to watch TV with Skylar. 1
Although they were sitting together, they harbored thoughts of their own. Skylar’s eyes were affixed on the television. However, her thoughts were far away.
Natalie waved goodbye to Austin and Hank as their car stopped in front of her house. She said, “Thanks, Mr. Powell. Thank you, Hank. I’ll head in now. See you guys tomorrow.”
Austin’s event for the night had just ended. Due to the late hour, they’d asked the driver to drop her at home first.
“Be careful. See you tomorrow,” Austin replied while nodding.
“Alright, you too!”
Natalie watched as Austin left.
Then, she walked home.
Looking at the brightly lit mansion, Natalie knew that Jeremy was home. He’d come home every day for
the past week.
The awkwardness between them hadn’t receded even though they saw each other daily. They kept their distance and behaved courteously.
Natalie inhaled deeply as thoughts whirled through her head. Then, she walked in.
A silhouette stood by the window of the second floor. Jeremy noticed Natalie’s hesitation in entering the
house.
At the same time, Hank said to Austin, “Why has she moved back here? Has she gotten back together

with Jeremy? That explains why she asked to end her break and come to work.”
After asking the question, he observed Austin’s expression.

Austin’s jaw was clenched. He hadn’t said a word since Natalie left. Hank had guessed what was going
on.
“It looks like they’ve gotten back together. With that temper of hers, she wouldn’t have moved in with him. Natalie looks like a perfectionist. Yet, she managed to ive with Jeremy’s affair. Indeed, love is the answer to all things. Marriage is hard,” sighed Hank.
It was time for Austin to give up on her.
Austin’s eyes glinted frostily as he stated, “She definitely went home for a reason.”
Based on his understanding of Natalie, Jeremy wouldn’t be able to repair the broken relationship once the damage had been done. There was no point in fantasizing about returning to how things were before the incident.
They said a broken mirror was difficult to repair, but it wasn’t merely a saying.
