The words Shane said the previous night had genuinely hurt her.
The man did not even want to see her. As a result, she did not have the chance to tell him about the identity of the two children.
“Damn! He’s taking it out on the children. Why’s he acting as such! It’s ridiculous!” Joyce scowled in dissatisfaction.
Natalie put down the towel. “His attitude did a sudden one-eighty yesterday. Even until now, it still feels so unreal.”
“Nat…” Joyce looked at her worriedly.
However, Natalie shook her head. “I’m fine. I just feel a little tired. I still don’t know how long he’ll ignore me for though.”
“What are you afraid of? Just talk things out with him,” replied Joyce.
However, Natalie smiled bitterly. “It’s not that easy. I already thought of doing that yesterday. I tried to talk to him twice, but he refused to say anything. That’s why I feel so tired.”
She then looked up at the ceiling.
A frown appeared on her friend’s face as she chided, “I really don’t know why he’s keeping all this in his heart. It’ll only worsen the misunderstanding between the two of you.”
“Yeah. But if he doesn’t want to talk, what can I do?” Natalie shrugged.
Joyce then looked her in the eye and said, “Find a chance to talk to him again.”
“Yeah,” Natalie replied, nodding absentmindedly.
That’s the only way. I’ll talk to him tonight. We can’t keep going on like this, after all.
After contemplating, Natalie took out her phone and sent Shane a message. She texted: Let’s talk tonight, Shane. We’ll talk through any issues we have, okay?
She hesitated before she sent another text: Also, I want to tell you a secret tonight. It’s very important.
After she sent out both texts, Natalie stared at her phone, waiting anxiously for the man’s reply.
However, no reply came, even after a very long time. As a result, Natalie’s heart sank.
She had no idea if he did not see the message or was busy.
He’s probably busy.
She subconsciously found an excuse for him before putting down her phone.
Maybe when he’s done with work later, he’ll reply to me.
She sighed and smiled bitterly to herself.
