What? Sean has feelings for me?
Natalie had spent a lot of thought on Sean's motive in concocting such an elaborate ploy.
The most likely reason she came up with was that he felt the abortion of her child would be a huge blow to Shane.
Never in her wildest dreams had she ever thought that his true motive was that.
All at once, she panicked. “Stop joking, Mr. Campbell. How could he possibly...”
“It's true,” Shane interjected.
Natalie's gaze promptly flew to him. “Don't tell me you believe such a trumped-up story as well, Shane?”
That's absurd! Not only did he kidnap me, but he even jumped off the cliff with me. Which of those actions scream
that he has feelings for me?
“This is not a trumped-up story. I've long since known about his feelings for you,” Shane muttered sourly, his
expression sullen.
It was something he spoke about with Jacqueline in the office when he was giving Natalie the cold shoulder.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack then, Jacqueline told him that Sean had a thing for Natalie.
At that, Natalie was wholly nonplussed. She sprang to her feet. “You knew about this?”
He actually knew that Sean likes me despite being so dense in love, yet I had absolutely no inkling!
“Yeah.” Shane nodded in affirmation.
Natalie's lips parted, but a long while passed before she finally spoke. “I had no idea. I really didn't know that he...”
“I know.” Shane regarded her intently.
He was aware of her stance toward Sean, so he had never been worried that she would develop feelings for him
after learning of his affection for her.
But still, he was rather chagrined.
In truth, he was irked that she was so popular with men—with Stanley fancying her, and now, Sean.
Natalie had no idea of his thoughts, so she breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his acknowledgment that she
hadn't any inkling about Sean's feelings for her.
Phew! I don't have to worry that he'll misunderstand, then. But I just don't get it. When did Sean start taking an
interest in me? And what is it that he likes about me?
“So, has Sam and Catherine's current condition been made public?” Shane inquired, his gaze pinned on Silas.
Silas nodded. “Yes. I believe that Sean is already aware of it, but he still refuses to show himself.”
Well, well... He's undeniably heartless. Despite hearing that his father is now paralyzed and his mother is beside
herself, he still doesn't have any intention of putting in an appearance, huh?
“Shane, are you trying to lure Sean out with Sam and Catherine as bait?” Natalie blinked.
Shane nodded. “He's like a mouse hiding in the dark that even hackers can't find him. Thus, it'd be tantamount to
looking for a needle in a haystack if I were to blindly investigate his tracks. As such, I can only resort to extreme
means.”
“But it's not very effective, right?” Natalie stared at him.
In response, Shane went silent, his lips compressing into a tight line.
Indeed, it's not very effective. He's not that filial of a son, or he would've turned up long ago.
“Actually, I sensed that he detests his parents,” Natalie divulged out of the blue.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing that, Shane and Silas swung their gazes at her in concert.
“He detests his parents?” Shane quirked a brow.
I didn't know that.
“Yes, that's right. He detests his parents. This is a conclusion I drew before I married you. Before we got married, I
met up with Sean alone a few times.”
“Nothing happened, yes?” Shane suddenly asked.
At his question, Natalie was torn between amusement and exasperation. “Of course not! Where did your mind go?”
However, Shane merely pursed his lips without any further comment.
To tell the truth, he was merely discomfited to hear that she had met up with Sean alone several times.
After taking a sip of water, Natalie added, “He mentioned his parents twice, and once was about Mrs. Thompson
arranging a blind date for him. I glimpsed coldness and hatred in his eyes at the mention of his parents, but I wasn't
quite certain then. After hearing you both say that he isn't taking the bait, I'm now sure that it wasn't a trick of the
light.”
“In that case, something must have happened between him and his parents. Otherwise, he wouldn't loathe them,”
Silas reckoned while rubbing his chin. Then, he looked at Shane. “Should I investigate it, Mr. Shane?”
