“Alright…” Jackson lowered his head.
With that, Shane hung up the call. Before Natalie could ask, he turned and told her about their conversation.
She pursed her lips as the disdain she felt for Jacqueline intensified once Shane was done. However, she did not make any comments.
“Nat, this Jacqueline woman is so thick-skinned! I’m guessing she must be from a wealthy family since she’s friends with Mr. Shane. Yet, her mind is full of men. To add on, she brought upon this disaster on herself all for the sake of a man. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a shame,” Sally blurted.
Although I have not met Jacqueline, I could already tell she must be swooning over love judging by Mr. Shane’s description, Sally thought to herself.
Natalie noticed Shane’s darkened expression and let out a chuckle. “Sal, the man you mentioned is actually your boss and my Darling.”
“What?” Sally looked at Shane in disbelief.
Noticing his cold expression, she gulped and cleared her throat. “Oh… Well, Mr. Shane, you didn’t clarify who that man was, so I thought it was someone else,” Sally explained as cold sweat beaded her forehead. “Oh? So it’s my fault that I didn’t clarify?” Shane narrowed his eyes.
“No, of course not! I didn’t mean it that way. I just… Nat.” Sally glanced at Natalie for help.
“Come on, Shane. She didn’t know it was you. Cut her some slack, alright? But she did get one thing right. Ms. Graham is rather thick-skinned.” Natalie wiped the tears of laughter off her eyes.
Shane pursed his thin lips and did not answer her. it was a clear sign that he agreed to Sally’s statement.
To be honest, I have no idea why Jacqueline’s so in love with me. But it doesn’t matter. It won’t change my love for Natalie no matter how much Jacqueline loves me.
In the afternoon, it was time for Shane to return to J city with the children.
Natalie and Sally went to the airport to see them off.
Sharon refused to leave Natalie as she sobbed and clung to her tightly moments before they boarded.
Although Connor did not cry like his sister, his eyes were also red as he stared at his mother.
Even Shane was looking at her sadly.
She assumed that Natalie was fine. Yet, the moment they arrived at the villa, Natalie had locked herself in her room.
Sally shook her head helplessly. “They say things get rough when a couple doesn’t get along. Well, it seems that it’s not all smooth sailing either when a couple does get along. I mean, look at her, it’s like she’s lost her soul as soon as she’s away from her husband. Perhaps it’s better to stay single,” she murmured.
Her cell phone rang as soon as she said so.
Glancing at the caller ID, her eyes gleamed. “Hello, Mr. Brandy? Oh yes, I’m available. Okay, I’ll be right there!”
She notified the housekeeper of her whereabouts as she grabbed her bag and dashed out of the door.
“Hello abs! Here I come!” she muttered.
It wasn’t until dinner time that Natalie found out that Sally went out for a date. She was surprised to hear that.
We’ve been here for so many days and I didn’t even know Sally’s met a guy!
