“I know. That’s why I agreed,” Natalie replied.
“When are you meeting them?” Shane asked.
“Tomorrow.”
Shane frowned. “The kids and I are heading back tomorrow.”
“Yeah, I know. Monday is the day after tomorrow.” Natalie buried her head into his chest.
He stroked her hair gently. “I’ll ask Silas to book the afternoon flight so I can follow you in the morning.”
He wanted to spend his last few moments in the country with her.
After tomorrow, they wouldn’t be seeing each other for a long time.
Natalie hummed softly in agreement.
The next day, they left the kids at the villa as they headed off to the magazine company with Sally.
After their discussion, Natalie signed a contract with the company.
Since Natalie was still in the competition, the magazine company understandingly gave her two weeks’ time to finalize her design.
After she handed the design over, the company would take the design to the tailor so they didn’t have to bother Natalie with the physical manufacturing of her design.
Natalie couldn’t turn down an offer like that. After all, she was pressed for time.
The three of them left the magazine company after signing the contract.
Shane got a call from Silas the moment he got into the car. “Mr. Shane, Ms. Graham is in the hospital.”
Shane wasn’t the slightest bit surprised by Silas’ words.
Jacqueline was already weak, to begin with, and the fact that she was also going on a hunger strike meant that her getting hospitalized was simply a matter of time.
“Got it,” Shane said mildly in response.
Silas cleared his throat. “Dr. Baker seems very angry.”
Shane hummed. “I know. He already called me.”
Jackson gulped, completely lost for words.
A few seconds later, he croaked, “Why did she try to kill herself?”
“Just desperate for attention, I guess.” Shane scoffed coldly.
Jackson instantly understood Shane’s meaning from those six words.
Jacqueline must have tried to kill herself to force Shane to forgive her or to make Shane divorce Natalie and marry her instead.
But based on Shane’s attitude, I’m guessing she tried to go for the latter choice.
It seems like Jacqueline is still stuck in her ways.
“Is there anything else you want from me?” Shane asked mildly after Jackson’s constant silence.
Jackson’s throat was dry. “N-No, I’m done. I’m sorry for thinking you did that to Jacqueline.”
Shane scoffed coldly again. “Since the two of you broke up, you don’t need to concern yourself with her anymore.”
