Rubbing her arms, Natalie walked back to the dining room and sat down again. Her smile was wry as she stared at the untouched food. “A husband leaves his wife to meet another woman on their wedding night. What kind of nonsensical situation is this?”
Picking up the knife and fork, she proceeded to prod at the steak weakly.
She could understand why Shane went to see Jacqueline. After all, they grew up together, so it would only make him look bad if he did not go.
Nonetheless, she still felt upset. It was her wedding night, and no one expected it to turn out that way.
She finished the steak bitterly, then brought the plate to the kitchen to wash.
Afterward, she went back to her room to take a shower before lying down on the bed. She was going to draw out some blueprints while she waited for Shane to return.
Natalie was already yawning by one o’clock in the morning, yet Shane was still not home. As a result, she felt irritated.
“Didn’t he say that he’d be back soon? It’s already been about five hours,” she muttered to herself. At the same time, she took out her phone and called Shane, intending to ask when he would return.
However, she soon found out that his phone was turned off.
Feeling helpless, she put down the phone and massaged her temples before pulling the sheets over herself. She stared at the ceiling in a daze, wondering what he was doing at that moment.
Before long, her vision gradually blurred, and she fell asleep.
Shortly afterward, the sound of an engine came from outside the villa.
The room door was pushed open after that. A figure walked in, the moonlight casting a tall shadow on the ground. Without turning on the light, he headed straight for the bed.
Standing by the bedside, he looked at the sleeping woman before bending over to kiss her on the cheek. Then, he walked into the bathroom.
When Natalie woke up the next day, she felt an arm around her waist, hugging her tightly.
She froze for a moment, and when it clicked in her brain, she turned to her side.
