Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 988
“Understood.” Natalie nodded before she got back to the call. “Didn’t you say that Harrison contacted Susan? What did he tell her?”
“I’ve no idea as he won’t let me listen in. But Harrison called me over afterward and asked to have the police brought to his ward at two in the afternoon tomorrow,” Jared replied.
Natalie pursed her lips. “Bring the police to his ward? What’s he up to?”
“I’m not sure about that, but he seemed quite serious about it. Determined too. So I guess he must be plotting something. Should I play along, Nat?” Jared asked.
Natalie turned to Shane. “What do you think, Darling?”
“Do it.” Shane assented. “Whatever he has in mind, he can’t touch us with the police around.”
“True, that.” Natalie saw the rationale of it and spoke back into the phone. “Go ahead, and tell Harrison that we’ll be there.”
“Okay. I’m going to hang up now.” Jared grunted.
Once the call concluded, Shane went on to open the car door. “Let’s head back first. The kids must be missing us by now.”
Natalie smiled and got in.
Back at the Thompson villa, Shane spent some time with the children before he headed over to the study.
Mrs. Wilson had a glass of milk brought to Natalie. “Is Mr. Shane alright, madam? He doesn’t seem quite himself.”
As much as Shane tried to mask it, his gloominess remained discernible.
Natalie exhaled after she received the glass from her, and told her all about their visit to Rhys and Marjorie earlier in the day.
Mrs. Wilson held a hand over her mouth and let out a gasp. “Good grief. So it was Jacqueline. Isn’t she just ten years old eighteen years ago? How could she have been so wicked?”
“Yeah. Whoever said that children were like little angels forgot that they could be devils too.” Natalie lamented.
Shane was seated at his desk and looked up when he heard her voice. “Still up?”
“How would I be able to rest when you are not back in.” Natalie closed the door behind her before she approached. “Have you gotten past it?”
Shane reached out and held her hand before he guided her over onto his lap. “I’m past it. I was thinking about how Jacqueline managed to lure my parents onto that road and then manipulate Sam into finishing her dirty deed for her.”
“If you can’t figure it out now, then stop trying to. Wouldn’t we be able to uncover everything when we catch Jacqueline herself?” Natalie replied while she stroked his face.
Shane tamed her wayward hand. “What about yourself? Have you?”
Natalie was mildly stunned as she knew he was asking about that surveillance footage she saw earlier; the one which showed her how her own mother died and caused her to collapse emotionally before.
That was why he was still concerned.
Natalie wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’ll be able to, so long as I have you with me.”
