After ending the call, NChapter 175 We Are Destined ancy pulled up Justin’s chat on WhatsApp.

Their conversation had come to a halt two days ago.

She had received a message from Justin while Aurelia was chatting with her that night.

He said he wouldn’t be coming home for the next couple of days as work was too hectic at the

company.

Nancy then called Justin, hoping to remind him to take better care of his health. However, it was his secretary who answered the phone, curtly informing her that Justin was busy.

At that time, Nancy had a gut feeling that Justin was growing tired of her. She spent the entire night awake, consumed by this thought.

This time, she didn’t take the initiative to contact him again.

In the end, he hadn’t sent a single message, and it had been two days already.

Nancy was generally a carefree person, but even she could sense the growing distance from the man she shared a bed with.

She couldn’t comprehend it. We haven’t been married long, so why has Justin become so impatient and distant with me? However, Nancy didn’t want to dampen Aurelia’s mood while she was traveling.

Standing before the mirror, she looked at her somewhat haggard and spiritless reflection as she took a deep breath.

“Justin, if you’ve lost interest in me, then just tell me straight up. I won’t cling onto you. Do I seem like the kind of woman who can’t let go?!

After questioning herself for quite a long time in front of the mirror, Nancy felt a sense of frustration bottled up within her heart.

“Maybe I’m overthinking it. There’s so much going on in the company, and Justin is handling everything for the massive the Hoffman family’s business all by himself. It’s tough when you’re at the top,” she muttered in an attempt to persuade herself once again.

Even Justin’s mother told her to be more understanding as Justin had too many things to handle on a daily basis.

Nancy’s mother also told her that she couldn’t expect Justin to always keep her company.

She glanced at her phone again, observing their chat history over the past couple of months. The frequency of their conversations had dwindled, even the duration of their video calls seemed shorter than before.

Am I really just overthinking it?
