Jackson's face turned serious, his hands on his thighs slowly balled into fists.
A few minutes later, he shot up. “Which is Jacqueline's room?”
“On the second floor, the second room by the stairs,” Shane answered.
Jackson uttered his thanks and headed upstairs.
Shane's right. If I leave Jacqueline to continue chasing after him, she might do something crazy.
After all, she has done that twice.
I want to try and confess my feeling to her. Hopefully, she would give me a chance. And if she does, things will
change for the better for Shane, Natalie, and me.
Jackson quickened his pace.
However, when he passed Natalie, he halted briefly to apologize, “I'm sorry.”
He then continued his way up the stairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie tilted her head puzzledly. “Why did he apologize to me?”
The corners of Shane's mouth quirked up. “He was apologizing for bringing Jacqueline here.”
“I see,” Natalie noted.
Even though Jackson knew it was wrong to bring Jacqueline here, he still did it anyway.
Does his apology even mean anything?
Natalie walked until she reached Shane's side.
Shane tugged on her arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Natalie quietly lay her head on his chest. “Where is Dr. Baker rushing to?”
“To confess his feelings to Jacqueline.” Shane poured a glass of water for her.
Natalie almost choked as she sipped. She cast a look of disbelief at Shane. “What? He is going to confess his
feelings to her?”
She knew about how Jackson felt for Jacqueline. She also knew that Jackson was the passive type. He wouldn't
confess if Jacqueline had someone she loved because he would worry about being a trouble to her.
Nicely put, Jackson was the type of guy who was others before him. In other words, he was a coward.
I never thought there would be a day when this coward would confess his feelings to someone.
“What did you tell him?” Natalie held his cheeks and looked into his eyes.
She caught a glimpse of mirth in his eyes.
With her hands on her hips, she probed, “Hurry up and tell me. What have you told that coward to make him
confess to her?”
Listening to Natalie's description of Jackson, mirth filled Shane's eyes. “Coward? What a fitting description. I told
him...”
He summarized his whole conversation with Jackson.
Natalie gave him a thumbs up. “Impressive! But are you serious about setting up Dr. Baker with Ms. Graham?”
“Jackson would treat her well. He's gentle and would tolerate her. So he would be perfect for her,” Jackson replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie thought that Jackson deserved someone better than Jacqueline.
But since Jackson liked Jacqueline, there was nothing she could say.
“I hope Dr. Baker could succeed.” Natalie glanced at the floor above.
But deep inside, she thought that Jackson would fail.
Jacqueline only has eyes for Shane.
Natalie peeked at Shane as she wondered. There was a slight bitterness and pride in her eyes.
She was proud that her man was so outstanding.
But she was bitter that he attracted many women's attention because of it.
Shane noticed Natalie's gaze and arched a brow. “What's wrong?”
“Nothing.” Natalie shrugged her shoulder. She planned to keep her thoughts to herself.
Shane didn't push her further at her resistance to speak.
Natalie continued sipping the water. The moisture wetted her red lips, adding a layer of shine, making her lips more
attractive.
Shane's eyes darkened. He gently held her chin and turned her head towards him. Then, his lips met with hers.
