As realization dawned upon Natalie, she gave a bitter chuckle before turning around and heading back to the room.
When Sean saw her leaving, his thin lips curved upward, and he started walking toward the villa.
Staring at his back, Jacqueline slowly clenched her hands into fists, her face contorting even further.
“Just you wait, Sean Thompson!” she hissed through gritted teeth.
In the room, Natalie sat on the bed with her head lowered, deep in thought.
At that precise moment, a knock sounded on the room door.
She lifted her head and cast her gaze over; yet, said nothing at all.
She knew who was there, for she couldn't think of anyone else save Sean and Jacqueline.
Since it was them, there was naturally no need for her to open the door. Furthermore, it was their territory, so they
had their methods of gaining entry even if she didn't do so.
As expected, the room door was pushed open from the outside after a few knocks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSean walked in against the light. When he saw Natalie sitting on the bed, the curve of his lips became all the more
distinct. “You know what? Wives in ancient times sit on the edge of the bed just like you're doing, awaiting their
husbands' return. So, are you waiting for me, Nat?”
Following his words, Natalie's face flushed bright red from rage.
“How shameless!” She leaped to her feet and glowered at him warily.
He actually said that I'm his wife, and he's my husband? How shameless can he be? While there's a grudge
between us, I'm still his cousin's wife! Such a remark is wholly indecent!
“Shameless?” Sean acted as though he had heard a joke, chuckling lowly. “You have hurt me by accusing me such,
Nat. Do you know why I brought you here?”
Natalie kept mum, the look in her eyes fixated on him growing even leerier.
Surprisingly, Sean didn't fly into a temper but stalked toward her.
Natalie stiffened upon seeing that he was drawing ever closer to her without any signs of halting in his steps. She
took a few steps back. “Stop right there! Don't come any closer!”
Turning a deaf ear to her demand, Sean continued moving forward.
Left with no other recourse, Natalie could only retreat further.
She had just taken a few steps back when her back hit the wall. Sean pinned her against the wall, trapping her with
no way out. He dipped his head and gazed down at her. “I brought you here because I want to be with you. You
know I love you. In fact, I've always loved you. I longed to snatch you away from Shane, and I've finally succeeded.
Now, you're no longer his wife to me. Instead, you're mine. Therefore, how could you say that I'm shameless?”
Hearing his absurd reasoning, Natalie grew so incandescent that she guffawed. “What's this about me being your
wife after you snatched me, Sean? Let me tell you that it's not the case. I'm Shane's wife, and that will never
change!”
Sean saw red at her words, reaching out and grabbing her chin. “Are you referring to the fact that you're still
married to him, so you'll forever be his wife? Hah! As long as I wish to do so, I can end your marriage with him
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanytime. I can get a dead body and disguise it as you so that he would think that you're dead. When you're dead,
your marriage with him will automatically be dissolved. Do you get it?”
“Y-You're simply too shameless!” Natalie shook with rage.
Argh! He's actually planning to use such a method to end my marriage with Shane!
Sean proceeded to bury his face against her neck and inhale deeply. “You smell so sweet! I'm more than willing to
take that insult by a beauty with such a sweet scent!”
“Get off me!”
Utter revulsion swamped Natalie, bringing her to the verge of retching. She extended her hands and shoved him off
hard before sprinting to the other side. “Let me tell you this, Sean. Even if you end my marriage with Shane, I'm not
going to be yours. Never!”
In response, Sean merely adjusted his glasses. “Never mind. I'll keep you locked by my side forever, then.”
“You can't do this! The person you love isn't me at all, but Shane's mother! You're only treating me as a substitute!
Even if you confine me here forever, I'll never be his mother!” Natalie roared.
