Natalie jerked in shock at his severe tone and shied away from his interrogative glare. “What do you mean, Stanley?”

He raised her chin and forced her to look right into his eyes. “Don’t play dumb, Nat. You know what I mean.”

Natalie did not like how Stanley was treating her. An irritated frown spread across her brows, and she pushed him away.

However, Stanley wasn’t going to give her a chance. He increased the pressure and pressed his fingers against her chin, preventing her from moving at all.

“What are you doing? You’re hurting me!” Natalie cried out in pain.

But Stanley was relentless. He moved closer to her, and his exasperated breaths beat against her cheeks. “Why, Nat? Why? Why must it be Shane Thompson? Why can’t it be me?”

Natalie looked up at him in complete shock. “Stanley…”

That’s why I’ve never forced my feelings on you. But what did I get in return? You fell for him just two months after you got back…” Stanley buried his head into her shoulder as he vented.

Natalie’s lips quivered at his confession. Her emotions were a mess, and she did not know how she should respond to Stanley. “I’m so sorry, Stanley. I really have no idea about how you feel towards me.”
