Chapter 1219 She Is Killing My Appetite
In the room earlier, Sean couldn’t see clearly due to the dim yellow light. Under the bright illumination then, however, he discovered that Natalie was even more beautiful than before.
Perhaps it was because she had just given birth a while ago, but she exuded a womanly allure that had one awed at a single look.
Conversely, a glimmer of envy glinted in Jacqueline’s eyes. She was jealous of everything Natalie had, especially her countenance.
She had always felt that Shane fancied Natalie because of her countenance.
Shane and I were childhood sweethearts and spent a lot of time with each other. Why would he not like me yet fall for her, who’d only entered his life of late? At the end of the day, it’s all because she’s prettier than me!
With a smirk tugging at her lips, Jacqueline drawled, “It’s been a long time, Ms. Smith. Do you still remember me?”
Natalie’s hands balled into fists. “Indeed, it’s been a long time. And of course, I do. I remember everything that you did to me and my children very clearly, Ms. Graham.”
When Jacqueline glimpsed the loathing in her eyes, her smile widened. “Really? I’m honored that you remember me so vividly, Ms. Smith.”
Natalie merely pursed her lips without saying anything.
Remember her vividly? Of course, that’s for sure! How I wish to skin her alive when I recall Connor and Sharon’s wretched state back then! I initially thought I’d only see her again after an eternity, but we’ve met again unexpectedly under such circumstances. Well, it’s just perfect! I’ve got to figure out a way to deal with her. Most importantly, I must find a way to send their whereabouts out!
“That’s enough. Keep your mouth zipped.” Sean narrowed his eyes and threw Jacqueline a warning look. In the next instant, he retracted his gaze and turned to Natalie. His gaze turned tender. “Quick, come and have a seat, Nat.”
He pulled out the chair next to him.
Without even sparing him a glance, Natalie walked over to the other side and sat down by herself.
Seeing that, Sean’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline unceremoniously derided, “It seems that she doesn’t appreciate your attentiveness!”
Sean nudged his glasses. “It’s okay. Nat has just arrived, so she needs some time to adapt. Things will be fine in the future. I believe that she’ll appreciate it soon. Am I right, Nat?”
He stared at Natalie with a dark look in his eyes.
Natalie gripped her fork hard, saying nary a word.
Sean didn’t flip out either, merely smiling as he picked up his fork. “All right, let’s eat.”
Jacqueline snorted before she started eating.
The relatively spacious dining room turned silent with no one speaking. The only sounds were that of cutlery clanking against the plates.
Natalie lowered her head and slowly ate her dinner. Every so often, she observed Jacqueline and Sean.
She hadn’t seen them both in a long time, and upon closer scrutiny, she realized that they had changed quite a bit.
That went doubly true for Jacqueline. She looked exceedingly gaunt, her eyes dull and her face sallow. On the whole, she seemed to be in poor health.
While she was also frail in the past, she knew how to hide it. Thus, she merely appeared to be a fragile and timid maiden.
Right then, however, she wasn’t concealing it in the least. Instead, she was revealing the most gruesome side of her. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
I feel disgusted to dine at the same table with her!
As that thought occurred to her, Natalie placed her fork down.
Upon seeing that, Sean did the same and inquired in concern, “What’s wrong?”
Natalie glanced at him, her expression darkening before she pointed at Jacqueline. “I don’t want to eat at the same table as her. She’s killing my appetite!”
Jacqueline’s eyes widened, and a feral gleam entered them. “How dare you?”
“In that case, go and eat in the kitchen, Jacqueline.” Sean’s eyes remained fixated on Natalie, his lips curved into a smile.
Incredulous, Jacqueline jumped to her feet. “You’re ordering me to eat in the kitchen, Sean? What do you take me for? Your housekeeper?”
Despite being his subordinate in name, I’ve been sharing a table with him every time I eat! But now, he’s sending me to the kitchen just because she’s here? How ridiculous! What’s so great about her that both men of the Thompson family like her? Have they been bewitched?
