Chapter 1717 She Was Being Watched

Natalie's face was filled with disbelief.

Stanley knew that she didn't quite believe his words, feeling that what he said was

somewhat unbelievable.

Indeed, who would associate a kidnapping and a car accident with such a simple purpose

of just getting her to leave?

“Everything I said is true. I didn't deceive you.” Stanley sighed and then looked at Natalie.

“You should know that before, I thought I was in love with you. Or rather, before I

understood my own feelings, I thought I loved you.”

Natalie bit her lip and let out a soft “Mmm.”

“At that time, it was shortly after you returned to the country.” Stanley lowered his gaze,

caressing the edge of the teacup in his hand, his expression somewhat cold. “In fact, when

you decided to return, I didn't quite agree with your decision. At that time, a voice in my

heart told me that once you returned, you would never leave again. This voice made me

feel very panicked and scared. I was afraid that you would stay in J City and never leave.

In the end, it turned out that my intuition was right. You did stay.”

Natalie pursed her lips, not saying a word.

Stanley didn't mind, and continued, “Because, at that time, I felt like I loved you very

much, so after you returned to the country, I had someone keep an eye on you. Therefore,

during the time you were back, I knew about all your movements.”

“What?” Natalie widened her eyes in astonishment.

Stanley wasn't surprised by her reaction as everything was within his expectations.

“You actually had someone follow me?” Natalie bit her lip, finding it hard to accept.

Stanley neither confirmed nor denied. “Yes, I had someone follow you. I'm sorry I never

told you.”

Natalie lowered her eyelids, slipping into silence as she pondered how to respond. The

anger coursing through her veins intensified. After all, being followed was universally

detested as it evoked a sense of being a criminal.

In short, it left her feeling indescribably repulsed at her core.

Natalie tightly pursed her red lips, her facial expression looking somewhat unpleasant.

Stanley also knew that Natalie was angry, and he understood why. After all, it was his own

fault.

He took a sip of tea and continued, “Because I had someone constantly following you, I

knew everything about what you went through and the people you encountered after

returning to the country. Initially, I had no plans to go to J City, but I ended up following

you there. Do you know why?”

Natalie remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. However, she quickly

understood and looked up at him. “Because of Shane!”

At that time, Stanley believed that he loved her.

So, besides Shane, she had no idea why he would hastily return for any reason.

After all, she and Shane had grown closer during that time.

Of course, there wasn't anything else going on between her and Shane. It was simply

because she had taken up a runway project for Shane's newly established apparel

company. Therefore, she inevitably spent more time with Shane.

And Stanley, believing that he loved her, couldn't possibly ignore the appearance of

another man by her side.

“Yes.” As expected, Natalie's words were confirmed, and Stanley nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, it was because of Shane that I hastily resigned from my job abroad and returned

to J City. I heard from the person that was arranged to be by your side that you were

getting close to a man. Although I was concerned at that time, I hadn't fully decided to

come back because I trusted that you wouldn't be interested in just any random guy. It

wasn't until I saw the photo of Shane sent by that person that I was completely shocked.

Shane looked almost identical to Connor.”

“From that moment, you suspected that they were father and son?” Natalie exclaimed in

surprise.

Stanley chuckled. “Isn't it natural to be surprised? Two people who look so similar, it's hard

not to suspect that they're related. You conceived the child in J City, and after five years,

you returned to J City. You encounter a man who bears such a striking resemblance to your

child. It's hard for me not to suspect that he is the biological father of both children. And I

know that you have always felt guilty for not providing fatherly love to the two children.

So, if you were to find out that Shane could potentially be their father, you would

undoubtedly develop an interest in him and, in the end, even fall in love with him. I didn't

want to see that kind of outcome, so I hastily rushed back. But I didn't expect...”
