Natalie lowered her head and touched her stomach. “A little.”
Hence, Shane took out his phone and instructed Silas to bring some food over.
Throughout, Natalie kept staring at him.
She was not sure if it was an illusion, but he seemed much gentler to her than before.
“Why are you looking at me?” When Shane noticed Natalie staring at him in a daze after he sent the
message, he gazed back at her calmly.
Returning to her senses, she quickly waved her hands in denial. “It’s nothing. Thank you for saving me,
Mr. Shane.”
“You’re welcome.” Shane placed his phone down. “I already found out about why you fell into the sea.
Annie Hill and her friends have already admitted to their mistakes. How do you want to deal with
them?”
Feeling troubled, Natalie sighed.
If it were Jasmine or another ordinary person who pushed her into the sea, she could still retaliate
without any inhibitions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, she could not afford to offend someone from the Hill family. Now, she was at a loss for how to
seek justice for herself.
As she thought about it, she laughed bitterly. “Did the Hill family mention how they’re going to deal with
it?”
If what they planned to do was appropriate, she would just follow their wishes.
Shane instantly understood what was on Natalie’s mind. Knowing her concerns and circumstances, he
wished to assure her that she did not have to worry about those. He could do anything she wanted to
see.
However, the difference in their statuses was too big.
Status...
A strange emotion flashed across Shane’s downcast gaze. However, it disappeared after a brief
moment. He passed a cup of water to her and said, “They’ll apologize and compensate you.”
“It’s settled then.” Natalie took a sip of water and smiled.
Then, she remembered something and sat up straight. “Oh, right. Where’s Stanley?”
She remembered that before Shane rescued her, Stanley had reached her first. However, as his leg
cramped, he did not manage to save her and instead almost drowned.
I wonder how he’s doing now.
When Natalie mentioned Stanley, Shane’s calm face instantly clouded over. He took the cup from her
hands, slammed it down on the table, and asked sarcastically, “Are you that concerned about your
boyfriend?”
“Boyfriend?” Natalie was stunned.
Shane pursed his lips and looked at her. “Isn’t Stanley your boyfriend?”
“Of course not!” Natalie was amused. “We’re just pretending to be in a relationship.”
“Pretending?” Shane’s expression instantly became much more pleasant.
She replied, “Yeah. He probably knows that he’ll meet Ms. Hill this time. To escape from her, he
deliberately asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend.”
“Is that what you think?” Shane leaned against his chair.
Natalie blinked in confusion. “Isn’t that what happened?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he gazed into her innocent eyes, he could not help but massage his temples.
She’s too naive. She thinks that Stanley asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend just to escape from
Annie, but I think that this is just one of his objectives.
Stanley wants more people to misunderstand that she’s his girlfriend. If the misunderstanding becomes
bigger, she won’t even have a chance to explain herself. Instead of being his fake girlfriend, she’ll
gradually become his real one. This is such a great plan. Looks like I must let Silas find out Stanley’s
true colors as soon as possible and let her know what kind of man he actually is.
“Mr. Shane, why are you not saying anything?” When Natalie saw Shane looking downward, she
waved her hands in front of his face.
He immediately grabbed her hand and squeezed it firmly.
Although her hand was long and slender, it felt quite chubby too. Shane could not help but squeeze her
hand a few more times.
Natalie’s face blushed at his actions. “Mr. Shane...”
When he realized what he was doing, he froze and quickly released his grip.
Although Natalie felt a bit disappointed after he released her hand, she feigned nonchalance and put
her hand down.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
