Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 1129

Natalie could give up on the competition, but she could never give up on Shane.

“How could you?” Sally quickly put down the thermal food jar before rushing forward to grab Natalie’s hands. “Nat, I know why you’re doing this, but it’s the finals soon. Don’t you think that it’s selfish? You’re not the only one competing here. If you leave, then what will Lina do? The two of you are partners. If you leave, Lina won’t be able to continue with the competition.”

At that, Natalie’s eyes widened before casting an apologetic look at Lina.

She’s right. I’m not the only one competing here. Lina’s my partner.

What will she do if I leave now?

“Lina, I’m sorry. I-”

“All right, that’s enough.” Lina smiled as she stepped forward. “I understand. If you want to go back, go.”

“Lina?” Sally spun around to stare at her in disbelief. “Do you know what you’re saying?”

“I do. I know how she feels. No one knows if Mr. Shane is dead or alive. Even if Nat stays for the competition, she won’t be able to come up with any proper blueprints because her heart is no longer here,” Lina quietly said.

Sally’s mouth opened, but her words only came after a beat. “But what about you? What will you do?”

“I’ll be fine. Even if we quit now, we’ll still be in third place. We never were confident about emerging as the champion in the finals because the competitors are about the same level as us. Getting a third place is quite eye-catching too. Being the champion is just the icing on the cake. Although it sounds better, it isn’t that big of a difference, really. Besides, we always have the next round of competition,” Lina told her with a small smile.

However, that smile of hers only made Natalie feel worse—it made her feel guilty for letting her down.
