Natalie could tell that Skylar was worried about her. But at this moment, she had other things to focus on.
"Austin's family doesn't like me. They think I'm not good enough for him just because of my past marriage. I wasn't prepared for this when I came here. I was so naïve. Maybe Austin didn't expect his family to be so blunt with us, either," Natalie said, forcing a bitter laugh.
She paused, but there was no real sadness in her tone.
Before coming here, Natalie had prepared herself mentally. She had known this might be the end for her and Austin.
Sometimes, she still hoped that Austin would be like the person from those early news reports—someone without any family background.
If that were the case, there would be no obstacles for them to be together. Their feelings for each other would have been purer.
But sadly, that wasn't meant to be, and they weren't fated to be together.
Skylar's voice softened. "Are you getting used to staying in the hotel?"
"It's a five-star suite. Of course I'd be used to it. It's just that I miss home," Natalie replied with a faint smile.
She gazed out at the unfamiliar landscape of the foreign country, her thoughts drifting back to her family. No matter how luxurious the suite, nothing compared to the comfort of her own small bed.
"I'll wait for you to return," Skylar said kindly.
Natalie felt her eyes welling up. "I'm craving fondue. The one in front of our school. Can you take me there when I get back?"
"Have you booked your flight?"
"Yes, for the day after tomorrow."
"Then I'll pick you up at the airport, and we'll go straight to the fondue restaurant."
After Natalie agreed, the call ended. As Natalie put her phone down, there was a knock at the door.
In a foreign land, it was easy to guess who would be looking for her now.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
