Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 704

“Really?” Sharon perked up.

Her mother nodded and added, “Of course! Daddy loves you. There is no way he can dislike you.”

Innocently, Sharon bought her lie and started giggling.

On the other hand, Connor kept his mouth shut, knowing better than to believe what his mother had said.

He could tell that Shane did not seem to like them at all; he could feel it in his bones.

From the corner of her eyes, Natalie spotted her son frowning and wondered what he was thinking.

She knew he had been a clever boy since a young age. Therefore, she did not doubt Connor’s seriousness when he told her that there was something off about Shane.

But, it also meant that Shane did show his displeasure to them.

“Alright, let’s go have dinner.” Natalie took her children’s hands in hers and walked towards the dining table.

No matter what happened, she wanted to talk to Shane about what made him upset.

Once they entered the room, Natalie saw Jacqueline and her husband talking.

Although she could not hear what they were chatting on, the woman was laughing while Shane’s stoic expression seemed to have softened.

Even so, it did not bother Natalie. The thing that did disturb her was how Jacqueline was sitting at her spot.

In the past, the woman had done the same thing, claiming that she made a mistake. Regardless, Shane would stand up for her when she did not budge and instruct her to return to her original seat.

Little did she expect that Shane would ignore it this time around and even be in all smiles around her.

Natalie’s eyes darkened as she watched the scene unfold before her.

For a split second, Jacqueline frowned, and a glint of glee appeared in her eyes. However, she covered it up quickly and sweetly greeted Natalie instead, saying, “Ms. Natalie, you are here.”

Hearing that, Shane stopped conversing with Jacqueline and picked up his coffee mug to take a sip from it without sparing his wife nor children a glance.

“No, I can’t. That seat belongs to the lady of the house. Though you might be our guest, you should still show us some respect. Otherwise, you may rub off as someone with no manners.” Staring indifferently at the other woman who threatened her position, Natalie did not hold back.

Her daughter also pitched in. “Yes! That’s Mommy’s seat. Without her permission, no one else can take it.”

Connor nodded in agreement too.

Instantly, Jacqueline’s face turned a deep shade of red. She bit her lips and turned to Shane for help. “Shane, what do you think?”

“Return to your seat, Jacqueline,” the man sternly ordered as he set his coffee mug onto the table.

Disbelief flashed across Jacqueline’s eyes, but she quickly shook it off. Pretending to be unbothered by it, she stood up and muttered, “Okay, I’ll return to my seat.

With that, she headed to the other end of the table and took her original spot in a pissed-off mood.

Minutes ago, when Shane came down, she could tell that there was a crack in Shane and Natalie’s relationship from how they interacted. As such, she boldly took Natalie’s spot, expecting the man to give up on shielding his wife.

To her dismay, he still defended Natalie, despite how distant and annoyed he seemed around her. Does he love her so much that it outweighs the hate he now feels for her?
