Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 656

Natalie was very conscious of the change in Shane. “Why are you…”

“What now?” Shane gazed down at her with amusement.

Natalie avoided his eyes, still red in the face. “Nothing. We should get a move on.”

Shane chuckled softly and made haste toward the bathroom. Placing her in the tub, he then proceeded to turn on the faucets.

When the water level was satisfactory, he disrobed and climbed right in with Natalie.

It was a spacious tub. The couple could stretch out comfortably and still had ample space left. Natalie did not kick him out, but allowed him to hold her in his arms as they soaked placidly in the warm bath.

After almost half an hour, the water began to turn cold. It was then that the couple climbed out to tidy up and got dressed.

Shane led Natalie to the hotel’s restaurant. As soon as they entered, Joyce was waving them over. “Nat! Mr. Thompson! Over here!”

Natalie waved in response. “Darling, let’s sit with Joyce.”

Shane stood where he was, casting a cold glare at Joyce’s direction.

Joyce’s cheery smile froze on her face. Why is he staring at me like that? Did I do something wrong?

Natalie had sensed Shane’s displeasure with Joyce too. In a split second, she had deduced the cause of it. “Are you still jealous of Joyce from yesterday?” she laughed, shaking her head.

“No, I’m not.” Shane looked away.

Natalie did not believe a word of that reply. “Fine, we can have our own table. We don’t have to sit with Joyce.”

Shane grunted noncommittedly, as he strode off in search for one.

Natalie was in no hurry. In a couple of gestures, she had conveyed their intentions to Joyce from afar before running off after Shane.

Lina sighed. “Mr. Thompson is jealous obviously. Didn’t you tell me earlier today that Nat spent the night in your room? Have you forgotten the fact that Nat and Mr. Thompson are husband and wife? Mr. Thompson had to spend the night alone when Nat was with you. You have deprived him of his wife’s company, and that is why he isn’t happy to see you!”

Joyce listened to Lina with rapt attention and sighed heavily when she was done. “I did not do it on purpose,” she protested, near tears. “I did not even know that Nat would keep me company last night. If I did, I wouldn’t have been as drunk as I was. And now look what happened! I’d gotten on Mr. Thompson’s bad side! What am I supposed to do, Lina?”

“How would I know?” Lina retorted. “Mr. Thompson is so petty that he even gets jealous of women.” Lina stroked her chin as she tutted.

Joyce gave a sardonic laugh. “Hopefully Mr. Thompson does not kill me for it.”

“How would that be possible? We live in a society governed by the law. Finish up your lunch, Joyce. Mr. Thompson wouldn’t do anything to you. You’re a woman, anyway. The most he could do is to give you the stink eye. If you were a man, that could go down very differently for you.”

Joyce cringed visibly. “That would be a cause for celebration, I suppose.”

Natalie did not know that Shane had frightened Joyce. At the moment, they were enjoying their lunch and each other’s company in silence.

“When are we going back?” Natalie asked as she wiped her lips upon completion of her meal. “I miss Connor and Sharon.”
