He did not expect that she would suddenly mention him, so he looked up at her.
However, Jacqueline could not see their actions. She lowered her head and replied shyly, “Yeah, I do like Shane. To me, he’s like a big tree that can protect me from anything. That’s why I’ve never gotten over him. But today, Jackie confessed to me. Only then did I know that he’d always loved me.”
Natalie narrowed her eyes and asked, “So you didn’t know Dr. Baker’s feelings for you in the past?”
Jacqueline shook her head. “I didn’t. Jackie never showed it to me. I thought he treated me well because we were childhood friends.”
“Since you don’t like Dr. Baker, why’d you still agree to be with him then?” Natalie then asked again.
In reality, Shane wanted to know the reason as well.
Although he had asked Jackson to confess, he never thought that Jackson would be successful that quickly.
Thus, he was indeed curious about the reason behind that.
“It’s simple. Jackie said he would protect me as well next time. Since I can’t be with Shane, I’ve to choose Jackie. Although I don’t like him now, I’ll do my best to slowly fall in love with him.”
She spoke with a firm expression. As a result, one could not tell whether she was speaking the truth.
Nevertheless, Natalie did not want to guess either. She had some soup, then said softly, “You’d better do as you say then, Ms. Graham. Don’t have any other intentions, or you’ll lose the person you love the most. If that happens, you’ll definitely lose more than you’ve gained.”
Jacqueline recognized the warning in her words. However, she did not get angry and instead smiled and nodded. She replied, “I know.”
Just like that, dinner ended.
Afterward, Shane held onto Natalie as they headed back to the room.
She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. “Darling, do you think Ms. Graham and Dr. Baker will be happy together?”
She was very shocked at what happened that night.
She loved Shane so much that she repeatedly targeted me. But, she has actually agreed to date someone else now? It certainly was surprising news.
“Their affairs have nothing to do with us. I know we’ll be happy,” he replied, leaning over to press her body down.
She rolled her eyes. “Okay, get up.”
However, he did not move.
