Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 700

Natalie, please don’t let me down…

After witnessing what had happened in the video, the man could no longer focus on work.

He remained in his chair, lost in thought while the office cleaners worked hard to pick up haphazardly thrown documents off the ground.

Only when Natalie called later in the afternoon did he finally pull himself together.

“Darling, are you busy today?” Natalie asked through the phone.

Shane lowered his gaze grimly before replying, “No. Why?”

“Uhm…” The woman faltered at how impassive he suddenly sounded. Nevertheless, she brushed it off, thinking that she had imagined it.

His response was fairly short, so perhaps I heard wrongly.

She set that aside and resumed cheerily on the phone, “You’re usually here to pick me up after work at this time of day. I just noticed that you’re not here, so I thought I’d call to ask if you’re busy.”

“Mm. I’ll head over now,” Shane replied curtly.

“Alright, drive safe!” replied Natalie while nodding.

The man’s lips twitched at those words. His expression turned gloomy as he recalled how the red car had knocked over his parents like they were bowling pins.

When the call was over, he paced to the balcony for some air. He desperately hoped that the chilly breeze would soothe his mind.

Otherwise, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to drive safely.

After a few minutes in the cold air, Shane managed to regain a decent amount of control over his emotions. He then exited the office and drove towards Natalie’s company with a calmer composure.

Meanwhile, Natalie, Lina, and Joyce were chatting in front of the company.

Lina had come over to say her goodbyes to the other two women since she would be traveling abroad for a competition soon.

The three babbled on until a black Maybach pulled over next to them.

“Look, Nat! Your husband’s here!” Lina flashed a playful smile, nudging Natalie teasingly.

In response to her teasing, the latter rolled her eyes in amusement. “Alright now, don’t forget to give your all for the competition abroad. I’ll also be participating in an international competition abroad in a month’s time, so maybe we can meet up then.”

Natalie frowned after sensing that his mind had wandered elsewhere. She reached out to wave her hand in front of him. “Shane? Shane?”

Gradually, the man’s eyes flickered as he broke away from his thoughts. “What is it?”

“I was getting worried about you. You spaced out and didn’t react no matter how much I called your name,” Natalie explained.

Shane averted her gaze to hide the conflicting emotions in his eyes as he shrugged and said in a low voice, “Sorry. I’ll drive now.”

“Okay…” Natalie nodded. Still, she couldn’t help but feel unnerved by his odd behavior.

What’s gotten into him?

Why is he so uncharacteristically distant today? It seems like there’s something on his mind, but he’s not telling me. Did something happen at the company?

Neither of them said a word during the car ride. The air was so tense that they could hear each other’s shallow breathing.

Natalie had tried to start a conversation, but Shane hadn’t bothered responding to anything she said. Instead, he focused on the road ahead, acting as if he hadn’t heard her at all.

He iced her out so much that she decided to stop speaking altogether.
