"We have come to an open break in our love with each other. I think you will laugh at me and rebuke me after seeing that I was cheated by Archie."
"Have you been stung by your conscience and wanted to do something so that you can feel better? You even tried to alienate me from Archie today! What good will it do you? Do you still like me and don't want me to live a happy life with Archie?"
Natalia finished. She looked at him and gave a half smile.
Shawn was speechless.
He seemed to have been found doing something wrong.
He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Natalia! I'm genuinely warning you. You can't think I'm joking."
Natalia just nodded in all apparent seriousness.
"Oh, I see. So, you still can't forget about me, you like me and you want me to break up with Archie?"
Shawn, "..."
Natalia shook her head.
"Unfortunately, a good horse will never turn round to graze on an old pasture. Shawn, we broke up all because of you. Even if I break up with Archie, I will never be with you again. You are doing this just in vain."
Shawn was excited by her words for no reason.
His heart was beating faster and faster, like the dense raindrops which fell down from the sky really quickly.
He licked his dry lips and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to come back to me again. I ... I know you hate me. Naturally, I can't expect anything. I just hope you won't get hurt again. I was just trying to pay back what I owed you."
Natalia suddenly felt it ridiculous, but she held back her laughter.
She calmed her down and said seriously, "Okay, I know it. If there's nothing else, then you can go out now!"
Shawn looked at her, wanting to say something but then stopped.
But in the end, he said nothing and just left.
Until the door of the lounge closed and Shawn went far away, she laughed out.
Nancy walked in and saw Natalia laughing there. She was somewhat puzzled.
"Natalia, what's wrong with you? Why are you laughing like this?"
Natalia waved her hand. After a while, she barely managed to stop laughing and said, "Nothing. I just, I just experienced something really funny."
Nancy was curious, "What's going on?"
"Just now Shawn came in. Guess what he said to me?"
Nancy was stunned and shook her head.
"I can't."
So Natalia told her what had just happened.
After hearing that, Nancy felt speechless.
"He's so sick! How dare he alienate you from Mr. McCarthy! Does he still think himself innocent and noble and want you to feel grateful to him?"
Natalia almost laughed herself into convulsions. After a long time, she patted her chest to smooth her breath and said, "Maybe! But he probably didn't expect me to already know about it, so he seemed quite disappointed when he left."
Nancy sneered and skimmed her lips.
"The young master of Miller Prosperities is so vicious that he can even come to you and want to turn you again Mr. McCarthy. Does he deserve to be compared with Mr. McCarthy? It's ridiculous!"
Natalia shook her head, "He has been like this for a long time. By the way, has Archie returned to Eqitin recently?"
