“You’ve had too much to drink. Let’s leave the bar. first.” Skylar set Natalie’s drink down. She helped her. friend up and was about to leave. 

Natalie shook her head vigorously and protested, “I’m not leaving. I want to drink.” 

Seeing how firm Natalie was, Skylar could only sit down. 

“Tell me. What happened? Shouldn’t you be a loving wife at home at this hour?” Skylar asked. 

Natalie’s eyes were slightly red and puffy. It seemed like she had just cried. 

“I’m done being a loving wife. Skylar, there’s something wrong between Jeremy and I. He doesn’t like me as much as he did before. 

“I don’t know if I’m overthinking. But is it true that a couple will treat each other less intimately after being together for a long time? 

“I can talk about this with you. If I were to tell my parents, they’d think I was too sensitive. They’re pleased with Jeremy, and they think I’m unreasonable sometimes. 

“They also said that after getting married, I couldn’t expect things to be the same as when we were still dating.” Natalie explained. 

Then, she asked, “Skye, do you think Jeremy isn’t fond of me anymore?” 

Skylar had never seen Natalie this worried and insecure before. 

“It takes effort to maintain a relationship between husband and wife. Have you two talked about this?” Skylar asked. 

Natalie shook her head and smiled bitterly. “No, I was afraid that he’d say I was overthinking.” 

Skylar wasn’t close with Jeremy. She had only met him a few times because of Natalie. He acted like Natalie’s older brother, who pampered her all the time. 

She was unsure about how a couple got along with each other and if they would still act intimately after getting married. The closest experience she had gotten was from some novels she had read when she was in college. 

However, the characters in novels were created by authors. The story was fictional, too. Hence, she couldn’t take that as a reference. 

“Perhaps I feel this insecure because I’m too deeply in love with him. Skye, sometimes I wonder what I’d do if he stopped liking me one day and fell for another woman. My heart aches every time I think of that possibility, so I always stop myself from going there. 

“I’ve been telling myself to take things easy. But it doesn’t work when I’m the one involved in such a situation.” Natalie’s tone was full of disdain for herself. 

Skylar raised her arm and looked at her watch. It was 7:00 pm. Natalie would get drunk in no time if she

kept drinking. 

“Stop overthinking for now. You guys have known each other since you were young. Just talk things out if there’s any problem. You were the one who said that most women liked to imagine things. Have you forgotten?” Skylar put down Natalie’s drink again. 

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you out to watch the rain,” Skylar offered. 

“Rain? No. I’ve only felt moody after seeing the rain this afternoon. I’m not watching it. Let’s stay here and 

drink.” Natalie started throwing a tantrum and refused to leave. 

Just then, her phone rang. She was in a daze when she saw the call from Jeremy. 

Perhaps after getting no answer, he hung up. 

Then, the phone started ringing again. It was another call from Jeremy. 

Skylar picked up the phone and said, “Hi, Mr. Hughes. I’m Skylar,” 

“Skylar, why is the phone with you? Is Natalie there?” Jeremy sounded surprised. 

“We’re at Mystic Bar,” Skylar replied. 

“Wait for me right there. I’ll pick her up.” 

“Okay.” 

After hanging up the phone, Skylar stared at Natalie, who was still in a daze. “He said he’s coming to pick 

you up. 

Skylar could tell from Jeremy’s tone on the phone that he was worried sick about Natalie. 

Natalie slightly avoided Skylar’s gaze. “Is he back from Haulbus? So he didn’t answer my call when I Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
