Richest Mogul

Chapter 290

“Something urgent came up at the office, I need to head over there first. I’ll be home tonight,” Jeremy said.

To Natalie, his voice sounded cold, sending chills through the phone and into her heart. The disappointment welled up inside her, and her eyes began to reddened.

“Will you come home right after work tonight?”

Normally, she could be as playful and carefree as she wanted with him. But recently, she felt a wall between them, as if he didn’t care about her as much anymore.

“Yes. If nothing comes up, I’ll be home after work,” Jeremy’s voice softened as though the thought of coming home was something he looked forward to.

Natalie felt tears of frustration and sadness streaming down her face. She didn’t know why she was being so emotional.

Business trips were normal, and going to the office was normal, too. She couldn’t expect him to comfort her like he did at home when his colleagues were present.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” she said softly.

After ending the call, she felt lost and wandered back to the kitchen. Looking at the lavish breakfast she had eagerly prepared, she felt even more disheartened.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that Jeremy didn’t love her as much anymore and that he seemed to be growing more distant.
