Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 654

However, he did not intend to exchanged pleasantries. The cold glance at Stanley was the only indication Shane gave that he had noticed his presence. Other than that, he passed Stanley without a word.

Stanley behaved in the exact same manner.

Like strangers, the two men passed each other in complete silence, both of whom had no intention on speaking to the other.

Back at the dining hall, Shane had managed to locate Natalie.

It was right when Natalie and Joyce had come out from the restroom.

Joyce had begun binge drinking. A few glasses were all it took to get her drunk. She leaned unsteadily against Natalie, a new glass clutched in her hand.

Shane’s face grew grim at the sight. He was about to call for one of his men to pull Joyce away when Natalie stopped him.

“Forget it, she needs me now. What if she gets out of control and creates a scene?”

This was the coming-of-age ceremony of the little princess, after all.

Joyce had embarrassed herself enough with her earlier proclamation. If she went on a drunken rampage, it wouldn’t just be embarrassing, but it would be considered a great insult to the princess.

Shane was well aware of that. Thus, he suppressed his dismay about Joyce clinging on to his wife.

“Let’s go back to the hotel,” Shane suggested after a glance at his watch.

Natalie agreed. “Let me send Lina a text to tell her that we’re leaving.”

Shane nodded his assent.

After Natalie took out her phone and notified Lina, she pulled Joyce up to her feet with some difficulty.

Shane did not intend to lend a hand, nor did Natalie expect him to do so.

Being Natalie’s best friend, she obviously did not want Shane to touch her inappropriately. Shane understood that too well.

Natalie had to grit her teeth to half hoist, and half drag Joyce all the way to their car.

That was the difficult part. When everyone was finally seated, they reached the hotel in a surprisingly short time.

“Darling, why don’t you go back to our room first,” Natalie said to Shane as she took out Joyce’s key card from her purse. “I’ll tuck her in before joining you.

With a grunt, Shane departed, leaving Natalie to deal with Joyce.
