With the two complex emotions intertwined, there was no way he could truly fall in love with Lindsay. That was why
he claimed that Natalie was the first person he fell in love with.
He never thought of giving up on Natalie, even if she had married Shane and given birth to three children.
Sean was determined to snatch her from Shane one day.
Meanwhile, Joyce had reminded him of something.
Since it was impossible to forget someone, he could use an external method to do the trick.
Once Sean had taken Natalie from Shane, he would get a hypnotist to erase all her memories and feelings for
Shane and make her fall in love with him.
While Sean was thinking about that, he narrowed his eyes, looking smug and confident.
Stanley smirked at Sean. “Hah! You won't be able to get her even if you haven't given up. You can't even defeat
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane. If not, you wouldn't be staying abroad all this while.”
“You're right. I'm not his opponent when it comes to fighting face-to-face, but he's not mine when it comes to
schemes. I can definitely make Natalie mine. After all, I'm not like you. You were the closest to Natalie for the past
five years, yet you failed to get her,” Sean sneered without holding back.
Stanley's expression darkened. “What do you know? I just didn't want to make things difficult for her.”
Sean rolled his eyes in disdain. “Pah. That's not true. Based on your mental state, you wouldn't bother to consider
her feelings if you wanted to get her. You only care for yourself. You'd do anything in your power to get her. That's
the real you. Then again, why is it you never did that to Natalie? Don't you think it's suspicious?”
“What would I be suspicious about?” Stanley growled, clenching his fists.
“What would I be suspicious about?” Stanley growled, clenching his fists.
Only he knew how troubled he was feeling at that moment.
In fact, the answers that he did not dare or want to think about were slowly surfacing.
What was worse was that he might not be able to accept it once the truth was out.
Seeing how stubborn and reluctant Stanley was to face his true thoughts, Sean snickered and answered, “Whether
you love Natalie, of course.”
Stanley's expression changed drastically. “That's impossible! How could I not love Natalie?”
If I didn't love her, why had I been thinking of her for five whole years and doing all sorts of things for her?
He knew himself well. As an aloof person, he would not care or help anyone unless they mattered to him.
Hence, it did not make sense that he did not love Natalie.
Hence, he refused to believe Sean's words.
Meanwhile, Sean was not surprised by Stanley's reaction. It was, after all, what the former had predicted.
Sean propped his head while flashing a half-hearted smile at a confused Stanley. “If that's the case, I need you to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanswer my question. If you love her, why did you never pursue her? As I said, with your mental illness, you would've
forced her to stay by your side and made her love only you even if she rejected you. Besides, you can never bear to
see the person you love be with another man. Yet, you haven't done all that to Natalie, haven't you?”
Stanley's eyes widened, and his heart clenched.
He could not bring himself to refute Sean's words.
Sean was right. With Stanley's mental state, he would not allow the person he loved to be with another man. The
most probable course of action would be to lock her up, so she could only look at him for the rest of his life.
However, he did none of those things to Natalie.
Seeing the color drain from Stanley's face made Sean smile. “Do you know why you never did those things to
Natalie? That's because you don't love her. In fact, you never loved her. Your love for her is fake, but you never
realized it. The person you truly love is someone else, someone who might share some similarities with Natalie.
That's why you think you love Natalie. In reality, she's just a replacement for the person you love, because you don't
dare to show your feelings to the actual person. Hence, you've decided to pour your love for that person onto
Natalie instead.”
