Chapter 1706 The Cold Treatment

After all, in the beginning, she didn't expect Shane to be uncompromising.

Besides, the silent treatment was merely due to disagreements, without any actual

incidents affecting their marital relationship.

However, just like that, they had been giving each other the cold shoulder for a long time,

making Natalie uneasy.

Shane really loved her and would fulfil any of her wishes. However, this time, he was full

of determination.

He was so persistent that he would give her the cold treatment rather than compromise.

This caused Natalie to lose a noticeable amount of weight over the past few days.

One day, Shane suddenly left the house, and it was very early when he did. According to

the housekeeper, it was still dark outside when he left.

Something must have happened for him to be such a rush.

Initially, Natalie wanted to contact Shane to ask what exactly had happened and if he was

in danger. However, she remembered their silent dispute, so she kept her phone.

Across the dining table, Lina, having breakfast, saw Natalie pick up her phone and put it

down again, her face still looking unhappy. She couldn't help but sigh, “If you want to ask,

just ask. Why did you stop?”

Natalie took a sip of milk. “We're still mad at each other. What's there to ask? Besides,

asking would be so embarrassing. Wouldn't that mean I'm admitting defeat in this fight,

that I'm willing to leave?”

After all, in the beginning, she didn't expect Shane to be uncompromising.

Lina's mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to respond.

After a while, she reluctantly replied, “I must say, you two are really making a mountain

out of a molehill. It's a small issue, yet you've been giving each other the cold shoulder for

many days. It's so uncomfortable for me to watch. I've been holding myself back from

saying anything, just in case I provoke either of you and end up getting involved.”

“Is it really a trivial matter?” Natalie frowned.

Joyce curled her lips. “How is that not a small matter? Isn't it just that you wanted to stay,

but Mr. Shane wanted you to leave? It's not like it's the end of the world or something. In

short, as long as it's not that, it's not a big deal.”

It was hard for Natalie to respond to that. Indeed, it isn't the end of the world. Isn't this

just a minor issue?

Natalie glanced at Lina. “Oh please. We're giving each other the cold shoulder but now

that you said it, I feel like it's not even a big deal anymore.”

Lina also rolled her eyes at her. “I just said you two are simply overthinking things. There

is no need to give a cold treatment in the first place, but you had to do it, and it lasted for

several days. If word gets out, people will think there's something wrong with both of your

heads.”

“There's something wrong with your head instead,” Natalie retorted irritably.

Lina nodded. “Yes, yes. I know I have a problem with my brain, but Nat, there's really no

need for you and Mr. Shane to be in a fight. It's just a matter of one of you taking a step

back, but neither of you is willing to give in, admit defeat, or admit your mistake, so that's

why this continues. Of course, your argument is quite dramatic, but if you keep going like

this, Nat, your marriage might really run into problems.”

At this point, her expression became more serious. “You both clearly want what's best for

each other, but how did it escalate to a silent treatment? Anyway, this is the first time I've

seen a situation like yours. Usually, when a couple is good to each other, they can't help

but embrace each other and cry, overwhelmed with emotion. But you two...”

Natalie coughed once, without saying a word.

She's right. Even I don't understand how Shane and I end up like this. We want what's best

for us, but why did we fight and give each other the cold treatment?

“Plainly speaking, you both care for each other, but at the same time, you don't accept

the care you receive from one another.” Lina looked at Natalie and pointed out the crux of

the matter.

Natalie blinked her eyes, not denying it.
