Natalie stared down at her phone. There was a WhatsApp message from Jeremy on the phone. He simply said he could wait.
The mere phrase "I could wait" felt like a personal accusation. It was as if Natalie were a heartless person. She was the one unwilling to face their troubles together.
Jeremy had been schemed against and was caught in a situation beyond his control. Meanwhile, she was thinking of leaving him while he was suffering.
Even her mother's frequent inquiries and concerns felt like a form of supervision, as if she were being monitored to regulate her behavior.
Soon, they arrived at the event venue.
Natalie buried her thoughts and doubts deep inside as they exited the car. They were not revealed in the slightest.
…
Skylar had just finished a call with Joe. They were scheduled to meet at the hospital later.
They planned to stay at the hospital with Gloria for dinner.
She had just clocked out from work. She was about to leave, but someone suddenly stopped her.
"Skylar!" a deep voice called out.
Skylar looked at the person blocking her path. After only two days of peace, someone else had come to confront her. This time, it wasn't a familiar face.
It was Amelia.
Amelia glared at Skylar with a face full of anger, as if Skylar were her enemy.
She had utterly forgotten who had been taking care of her in the hospital over the years.
"Skylar, should we call a security guard?" a colleague asked.
"Finished? If you're done, you can leave," Skylar said.
Skylar always showed respect to her elders. However, with Amelia, politeness didn't help.
Amelia's eyes widened in shock at Skylar's coldness. "What did you say? You want me to leave? Skylar, remember how you used to try to please me?
"Do you think that now you have a new support, you can disregard me and my son? If one day you find yourself abandoned and come to me begging, I won't give you a chance. Do you believe that?"
"It's best to pick a better time for daydreaming," Skylar said. She pushed Amelia away.
Amelia was stunned by the push. She exclaimed, "You'll regret this. You will definitely regret it. Do you believe it?"
Christopher was outstanding, and many people liked him. Skylar would regret her decision.

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....
