However, that look disappeared as quickly as it formed, so nobody noticed it at all.

Shane had no intentions of keeping it a secret from her, so he eased up on his frown as he answered, “Yeah.”

Jacqueline felt her heart ache when she saw the gentle look in his eyes but was able to keep her raging jealousy

hidden from him. Instead, she acted like she was happy for him as she said, “That's great, Shane! Congratulations

on becoming a father!”

“Thanks,” Shane replied with a faint smile.

Jacqueline gave a dismissive wave. “No need to thank me! Oh, by the way, do you prefer a son or a daughter?”

“I like both equally.” Shane smiled deeply as he thought of Connor and Sharon.

Given how cute those two are, I bet this child will be just as adorable!

It took Jacqueline every ounce of willpower she had to force a smile despite the burning jealousy in her heart. “Fair

enough. You two look stunning, so your child would look great no matter the gender!”

When Shane noticed something off about her behavior, his smile vanished instantly. “I love my child no matter how

he or she looks. Is that understood, Jacqueline?”

Jacqueline felt a mix of anger and sadness when she felt the hostility in his tone.

He would never take that tone with me in the past! This is all Natalie's fault!

Despite all the boiling anger and hatred inside her, Jacqueline was quick to apologize, “I'm sorry, Shane... I shouldn't

have said that. Please don't be mad at me, okay?”

She even went as far as clinging onto his arm and tugging at it.

Since Shane wasn't actually mad at her to begin with, he decided to let it slide upon hearing her apology. “All right.

Just don't do it again.”

Jacqueline nodded eagerly. “Okay!”

At that moment, the door to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic opened, and Natalie came out with one hand

supporting her tummy. The look in her eyes turned gloomy when she saw Jacqueline sitting next to Shane with her

arms around his.

Unaware of her change in expression, Shane stood up and asked, “How'd it go?”

Natalie shook her head. “I don't know. It'll take a while before we get the results.”

Shane nodded in acknowledgement. “We'll wait, then.”

“Yeah.” Natalie then shifted her gaze to Jacqueline, who was standing next to him, and asked, “What are you doing

here, Ms. Graham?”

“I heard that Shane was here, so I came to see him. You wouldn't mind, right, Ms. Smith?” Jacqueline said with a

smile.

Not only did she not let go of Shane's arm, but she also tightened her grip on it as she said that.

Natalie was infuriated when she saw that Jacqueline was trying to spite her.

It's obvious that she didn't mean what she said when she wished me happiness over the phone the other day. She

wouldn't be clinging to his arm like this to make me jealous if she had truly moved on! Well then, Jacqueline... Don't

blame me for being merciless if this is how you want to play it!

At that thought, Natalie put on a faint smile while glaring coldly at her and replied, “Of course I mind.”

“See, I knew you wouldn't... Wait, what did you just say?” Jacqueline's face was frozen in shock as she was not

expecting that response from Natalie at all.

Feeling a lot better after seeing her reaction, Natalie flicked her hair back as she repeated herself, “I said, of course

I mind!”

She then motioned at their still entangled arms with her eyes, and Shane quickly retracted his hand the moment he

got the hint.

“Shane...” Jacqueline called out to him instinctively in response, but Shane ignored her and apologized to Natalie

instead.

“Sorry, Natalie.”

Jacqueline had always loved clinging to his arm, so he had gotten used to it and didn't think of pushing her away
