Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 126

Shane stood up and pulled out a dazzling red necklace from his pocket. “Are you looking for this?”

Natalie fixed her eyes on the necklace and saw that it was indeed the Heart of Fire. Her head bobbed furiously. “Yeah!”

“Here.” He held it out toward her.

She hurriedly waved her hand in rejection. “Mr. Shane, please help me return that to Sean.”

Once this necklace was returned to Sean, she would owe him nothing anymore.

“You want me to give this back to Sean?” Shane furrowed his brows.

“Yes.”

His fingers curled around the necklace tightly as the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

Sensing the change in atmosphere, Natalie blinked in confusion. “What’s wrong, Mr. Shane?”

The man shut his eyes and seemed to be reining in his emotions. A few seconds later, he spoke up in a frosty tone, “This necklace has absolutely nothing to do with Sean!”

“What?” She froze in surprise.

Does he mean that Sean didn’t buy this necklace for me? Then it was…

Swallowing hard, her heart was pounding as she ventured to ask, “Mr. Shane, were you the one who gave this necklace to me?”

He lowered his eyes and kept silent, clearly a sign of admission.

Natalie’s lips twitched slightly. “I honestly didn’t know. I thought Sean bought it for me. But then why did you gift that to me, Mr. Shane?”

“It was meant to be a reward for Project Rebirth,” he answered casually while pressing the necklace into her hand.

She bit her lip and protested, “But it’s way too expensive! I can’t accept this, Mr. Shane! You should take it back.”

He did not move to accept the necklace she thrust toward him. Instead, he locked eyes with her. “I can’t take back something I’ve already given out. Just throw it away if you don’t want it.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Cough! She nearly choked on her own saliva at hearing that.

He must be joking! This necklace costs tens of millions and he expects me to throw it away if I don’t want it? Only someone as filthy rich as him will be able to say something like that so flippantly!

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door.

Twisting his body slightly, Shane called out, “Come in!”

Click. The door swung open before a middle-aged woman stuck her head inside. “Sir, lunch is ready. Will you be coming down now?”

Shane glanced over at Natalie before replying, “Please prepare another set of cutlery.”

The middle-aged woman blinked before smiling. “Is the miss awake already?”

“Yes.”

“Alright. I’ll set a place for her right away!”

With that said, the woman shut the door and departed.

“She’s Mrs. Wilson, my housekeeper,” Shane informed Natalie of the identity of the middle-aged woman.

Natalie nodded in understanding.

Picking up a big box from beside him, he passed it to her. “Change into these clothes then come down for lunch.”

“Okay.” She accepted the box with both hands.

She waited till Shane had left the room before opening the box and changing into the clothes inside.

When she was done, she stared at the Heart of Fire lying innocently on the bed. After a few seconds of hesitation, she pocketed the necklace.

Since he doesn’t want it, I’ll just keep it for now. I’ll return it to him when I get a chance in the future.

After that, she tidied the bed before heading for the door. She had only just stepped out of the room when she spotted Shane leaning against the wall beside the door. She jumped a little in fright, her hand coming up to soothe her racing heart. “Mr. Shane! I thought you had already gone downstairs.”

“I was waiting for you.” Shane uncrossed the arms he had folded against his chest.

Natalie grinned as she smoothed her ruffled hair. “Were you worried I wouldn’t be able to find the stairs?”

He did not deny it. Turning, he strode for the stairs. “Let’s go.”

She followed along dutifully, her head swiveling around all the while as she took in his villa.

It was quite a large villa. Despite that, the interior design was incredibly simplistic. Much like his apartment, it felt cold and empty.

They arrived at the dining room where the table was already laden with food.

Natalie’s eyes were wide while she stared at the veritable feast. She blurted out, “Wow! What a lavish meal!”

Mrs. Wilson, who was coming out of the kitchen with a pot of soup, burst into laughter. “Hurry up and sit down so you can try them out then!”

“Sure.” Natalie made herself at home as she instantly pulled out a chair and sat down. Using a fork, she stabbed a slice of meat and popped it into her mouth.

“How is it?” Mrs. Wilson asked her.

Shane was toying with his fork as he, too, watched her for her reaction.

Natalie shot them a thumbs up in response. “It tastes great!”
