Once she wrapped up the conversation and hung up the call, she saw Natalie and the two little ones the moment she turned around.
Mrs. Wilson stuffed her cell phone into the pocket of her apron and greeted Natalie with a smile, “Madam, you’re back!”
Natalie nodded in return. She asked while having her eyes glued to the suitcase in the living room, “Mrs. Wilson, is that Ms. Graham’s?”
Is Jacqueline moving out soon?
The thought of Jacqueline moving out soon made her ebullient.
Overwhelmed by the great news, she failed to notice the change in Mrs. Wilson’s expression.
Mrs. Wilson shook her head and stuttered in a hushed voice, “N-No, it belongs to Mr. Shane.”
Natalie’s heart sank to the bottom of her stomach when she heard Mrs. Wilson. She felt a chill running down her spine and had a hard time gathering her thoughts. She repeated after Mrs. Wilson, “Shane?”
As soon as she caught Mrs. Wilson nodding, she wanted to say something else but changed her mind at the last minute.
Meanwhile, Sharon wasn’t able to fathom the meaning behind the incident, but Connor was well aware of the things awaiting them.
He asked with his fists clenched, “Mrs. Wilson, is Mr. Shane moving out?”
Mrs. Wilson was taken aback by the way Connor addressed Shane. She nodded and explained, “He said he has quite a lot of things to deal with. Thus, it wouldn’t make any sense for him to travel back and forth. He will be staying at the apartment near the company for the time being.”
“Ha! I’m pretty sure that isn’t the case! He’s just sick of living with us!” Natalie’s eyes started brimming with tears once she finished her sentence.
Mrs. Wilson was about to say something, but she decided to keep those to herself since she was in no position to meddle with their affair.
Although she was unaware of the things that had occurred over the past two days, she was certain Shane had been avoiding Natalie.
“Mommy…” Concerned about his mother, Connor’s brows furrowed.
Shane, who was on the other end, asked in a callous tone, “Yes?”
“Shane, you have been ignoring me ever since some time ago! Now you’re ignoring my calls and moving out of the villa? What the heck do you want from me? Why can’t you tell me the things I have done wrong? Can you stop torturing me?”
Irked for real, Natalie could no longer suppress the wrath she felt. She yelled at the man and told him the things that had been bothering her.
Shane’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the woman sniffling. The emotions he had been keeping to himself came flooding out as well.
However, when he recalled his parents’ death, he forced himself to ignore the affection he had for her and asked in return, “Are those the reasons you have called?”
Natalie burst out laughing because of Shane’s absurd reply. “When are you going to tell me the things that are going on? I’m not even conscious of my sins! If I have done anything wrong, just tell me! I don’t mind filing for divorce with you, but I can’t stand any of this silent treatment anymore—”
She choked and paused for a few seconds. A short while later, she said, “Do you know how much it hurts? I’d rather file for divorce with you than being treated in this manner!”
Shane’s pupil constricted when he heard the things she had brought up. He replied in a hoarse voice, “I will never file for divorce with you.”
