Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 67

“Susan, you misunderstand me too often, don’t you?” Natalie gave a sarcastic laugh as she took back her phone. “Why are you so nervous? Are you worried I’ll misunderstand your relationship with the father and son?”

Susan’s heart skipped a beat but she valiantly kept a straight face. “No, I’m not worried, but they are related to me. He is a distant cousin of mine and that is his son. The child is sick so I brought them here for him to seek treatment.”

“Oh, I see.” Natalie nodded as if she believed what Susan said to her.

Susan narrowed her eyes and stared at her for a long time. After confirming that Natalie was not pretending, she heaved a subtle sigh of relief and then immediately changed the topic. “By the way, Jasmine told me that you’re back in the country for good and have brought along two children. When will you bring them over? Your father and I want to see them; I am very curious about the kids.”

“That’s not necessary!” Natalie refused without hesitation.

On that night five years ago, she had sworn she would never step into the Smith family home ever again.

Susan had expected this reply; therefore, she was unperturbed. She noticed the medical bill in Natalie’s hand and asked, “Is your child sick?”

Natalie rolled her eyes, not even bothering to reply. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

You are asking the obvious!

I can’t be the pediatrician, can I?

“Let me see what’s wrong!” Susan quickly grabbed the bill when Natalie wasn’t looking.

Seeing the information written on the bill, Susan remarked in a weird tone, “Oh, Nat, why does your child use your surname but not their father’s? Don’t the kids have a father? Are they illegitimate children born out of wedlock?”

Hearing that, Natalie trembled with anger. She clenched her fists and was about to retort when a cold bone-chilling voice was heard, “Who are you calling illegitimate?”

“S-Shane?” Susan turned around and unexpectedly met Shane’s cold, steely eyes. Her face turned pale with fright.

What’s he doing here?

Furthermore, what did he mean by his remark? I was talking about Natalie’s kids and he suddenly stood up in her defense. Could it be…?

Susan’s countenance turned anxious and she had a bad omen.

Her bad omen was proven right too soon.

“Did you just say that my children are illegitimate?” Shane walked right up to Susan and stood there, towering above and looking down on her like a god.

Susan seemed agitated. Her face became distorted and she shouted, “How could her two children be yours?”

Shane put his arms around Natalie’s shoulders and declared, “Nothing is impossible!”

Shane’s action took Natalie by surprise but she played along naturally.

She fully understood that he was trying to help her out so that Connor and Sharon would not be labeled “illegitimate”.

“Susan, do you still dare to say that my kids have no father and are illegitimate?” Natalie leaned against Shane and looked at Susan without a trace of emotion.

Seeing the two of them behaving so intimately, Susan shook her head in disbelief. “You shameless slut! You dare steal my Jas’ fiancé! I am going to teach you a lesson!”

With that, Susan pulled Natalie out of Shane’s arms.

She then raised her hand to hit Natalie but in that instant, Shane caught Susan by the wrist and exerted a little strength.

“Ouch!” Susan yelled in pain and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Shane let go of her hand and frowned as he asked Natalie, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Natalie rubbed her wrist where Susan had gripped her; she felt a wave of warmth washing over her heart.

No doubt she could have avoided Susan’s blow on her own but Shane’s stepping in without hesitation touched her deeply.

“It’s great that you are unhurt.” Shane nodded, after which he glared at Susan with a face as cold as ice. “How dare you hit my woman?”

Susan held her wrist as it was still in pain. Plucking up her courage, she raised her voice. “You are Jasmine’s fiancé. It’s only right that I hit her for seducing you!”

Shane replied sarcastically, “Well, well, who would have thought that you would speak up for your stepdaughter? Perhaps the news that you are at loggerheads with Jasmine is fake?”
