Chapter 197
Natalie had no idea what was going through his mind. She only knew that she didn’t want him to be responsible and ended up hurting his man’s pride. She bit her lips and said with determination, “That’s right, that was an accident. What else can we do? You claimed that you’ll be responsible which means you’ll just give me money. Don’t tell me you’re going to marry me?”
After hearing that, Shane remained silent and didn’t say a word.
Natalie laughed upon seeing his reaction. “See, you’re not saying anything which means I’m right. What you meant by taking responsibility was to give me money. However, that money would be an insult to me and I wouldn’t accept it. So it’s better for us to treat that as an accident.”
Having said that, she looked away and attempted to get up from the sofa.
But once her feet touched the ground, she lost control of both her legs. With a shriek, she fell forward.
Shane took a big step forward and caught her. “Where do you want to go? I’ll carry you.”
Natalie fell into Shane’s arms. She could smell the scent exuding from his body and listening to the gentleness in his voice, had her feeling the urge to cry.
She held it in and refrained from showing. After regaining her composure, she stepped back. “There’s no need for that, Mr. Shane. I can manage myself.”
Grabbing her clothes from the armrest with one hand while holding tightly to the blanket with the other, she stumbled out the door.
After leaving Shane’s place, Natalie arrived in front of her own apartment and she pressed the doorbell.
Yulia’s voice traveled from the other end of the door. “Who is it?”
“Mom, it’s me.” Natalie answered loudly.
Upon hearing her voice, Yulia quickly opened the door. The moment she saw her face, she was so stunned that her mask fell off her face. “Baby Girl, you…”
“Mom, don’t say anything. Just let me in.” Natalie urged, blushing in embarrassment.
Her legs were so weak she could barely stand.
At that moment, Yulia came back to her senses and quickly stepped aside. “Oh, quickly come in.”
Natalie rushed inside the house and went to the bathroom straight away.
Yulia picked up her mask and shut the door behind her. She followed her, stood out of the bathroom, and asked, “Baby Girl, who were you with last night?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mom, can you please stop asking?” Natalie stood in front of the mirror and stared at her body that was covered in red markings. She took a deep breath.
“How can I not ask? I’m your mother. Yesterday you told me you went out for a meal with Joyce, I thought you spent the night at her place. Instead, you went out with some guy and God knows what had happened. How can I not find out who is he?” Yulia banged on the door angrily.
Natalie’s ears buzzed. As soon as she was about to reply, Yulia said in a concerned voice, “Nat, were you bullied?”
Natalie didn’t know if she was about to laugh or cry. “It’s nothing, it was just an accident!”
“What accident?” Yulia frowned. Just when she was about to question further, the doorbell rang again.
She turned her head and glanced at the hallway. “Natalie, I’m going to see who’s at the door. You better come clean to me after that and tell me what happened last night, hmph!”
After that, Yulia turned around and walked towards the entrance. She opened the door.
Shane was standing outside and there was a small bag in his hand. “Aunt Yulia.”
“Shane, why are you here?” Yulia looked at him curiously.
Shane did not answer and handed her the small bag. “This medicine is for Natalie.”
“For Nat?” Yulia reached out and grabbed the bag. She took a look inside and saw the name on the medicine. Her facial expression changed and then closed the bag. She stared at him with anger. “So it was you who bulled Nat!”
She should had known.
If it were some other man, Nat wouldn’t have been so calm and had gone to the police right away.
Shane lowered his eyes and said, “I’m sorry Aunt Yulia, I…”
“Just leave!” Yulia pointed towards the lift. “And I thought you were a good person. Who would have thought I was so wrong. You still came after Nat even though you have a fiancée, how horrible. Leave, you’re not welcome here, go!”
