Natalie could tell that Kate was concerned.

Natalie was resigned. However, she had no idea what to do. She and Jeremy….

“We’re doing fine, Mom. After all, many things have happened. We can’t proceed too hastily with this. We have to take it slow and try to minimize the damage he’s done to our relationship. Alright, don’t worry, Mom,”

After hanging up, Natalie’s appetite vanished as she stared at the lunch box before her.

She and Jeremy were as courteous to each other as strangers. They felt familiar, but also like they didn’t know each other at all. Even though they were having dinner together, they didn’t say a word.

Natalie knew that Jeremy was waiting for her to make a move. However, there were many problems between them, and they weren’t issues that could be solved in a day or two.

As the days passed, she only felt an acute sense of helplessness growing within her. She resisted every initiation of physical contact subconsciously. She flinched every time.

When she tried to stop herself from flinching away, her body would remain extremely stiff.

Jeremy was a perceptive man. He must have noticed her refusal, so he didn’t force himself on her. Regardless, whenever Jeremy approached, Natalie immediately thought of Annabelle and the video.

“Don’t you like today’s lunch?”

Suddenly, Austin posed the question from above her. It disrupted Natalie’s train of thought.

Natalie looked at the lunch box. She’d only taken a few bites. She looked at Austin and said, “Perhaps I’ve overeaten in the morning. I’m not feeling hungry now.”

The lunch boxes provided by the filming crew were great. She loved having them most of the time, except her appetite was gone. It was a pity her lunchbox would go to waste.

Austin didn’t remark on what he’d see. He said, “In that case, don’t force yourself to continue eating. If you get hungry later, you can just order some takeout.”

“Okay!” Natalie replied immediately while nodding.

Austin gazed at her deeply before going back to film a scene. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Hank asked Natalie softly, “Nath, have you gotten into a difficult situation? You seem troubled.”

Since Austin couldn’t ask, he would pose the question instead. This could be passed off as an attempt to monitor the psychological health of his employees.

Natalie was stunned. “Have I made it that obvious?”

“Kind of. After all, I see you every day. A change has taken over you since you returned to work a few days ago. What’s making you so unhappy?”

After a few moments of silence, Natalie answered, “I ran into some problems recently. I’ve got to make a tough decision. But don’t you worry, Hank. I won’t let it affect my performance at work.”

“Of course. I’m not worried at all,” Hank assured her. He complained internally that he was concerned for Austin instead.

However, what decision did she have to make? Was it whether or not she would divorce Jeremy?

Hank wasn’t in a position where he could ask those questions.
