“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.”

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.
Seeing that, Natalie was very tempted to purchase a ticket and return home with them. However, she held herself
back at the very last moment.
She waved at Shane and the children as they walked through the VIP passage. She did not stop waving until she
could no longer see them and hugged Sally.
Sally knew she was sad and gently patted her back to comfort her.
After ten minutes or so, Natalie raised her head and wiped her tears. “Alright, Sal, I'm fine now. Thank you.” She
smiled.
“No problem. Shall we go?” Sally suggested.
Natalie nodded in agreement and they both left the airport.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSally realized Natalie was still feeling down during their ride home. She pondered for a moment and said, “Hey,
cheer up, Nat. I know you miss them, but you can always give them a call. Besides, didn't Mr. Shane say he'd bring
the kids over to visit you in a couple of weeks?”
“Don't worry, I'm fine now.” Natalie grinned.
Sally looked at her one last time and did not say anything else.
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!
