After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 121

As soon as I got to the hotel’s temporary office, my phone buzzed.

I was in the middle of a conversation, so I didn’t check it right away. By the time I finished, over ten minutes had passed.

I picked up my phone and saw a message from Nathan. He sounded a bit jealous, asking: [When did you and Mr. Holcomb get so close?]

I froze for a second. ‘Nathan’s tone is really weird,‘ I thought to myself. ‘Why does it sound like Nathan and I are the couple here, and Jared’s the lover?‘

As a married woman, I had to stick to my principles. I couldn’t let Nathan get the wrong impression, like there was always a chance something could happen between us.

So, I replied: [Thanks for your concern, Mr. Hallman. Our relationship is neither good nor bad at the moment.]

Nathan replied almost instantly: [I thought you were mad at me and didn’t want to talk to me.]

I wasn’t really trying to ignore him; I just didn’t want to leave any evidence for Jared to blow things out of proportion.
