Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

“Is that so?” Natalie raised a brow and appeared to be in disbelief.

Jacqueline feigned a smile and said, “Of course. I’ve thought things through after Shane talked some sense into me last time. He only thinks of me as his sister, and it’s destined that nothing is ever going to happen between us. So, I wish him happiness and joy in his life. I’m just calling to test you out.”

The woman’s words sounded sincere and heartfelt.

Natalie could not figure out if the woman was lying or being truthful. Hence, she kept quiet.

“No.” Natalie’s lips twitched.

The woman on the other end sighed, “I know you must be pissed. Nobody likes being doubted. I do not wish to put you through that as well, but I hope you understand I wish you no harm. Please forgive me for what I’ve done last time too.”

“Last time?” Natalie titled a brow.

The woman nodded. “Right, I threw a tantrum at you back in the hospital when I knew that you were together with Shane. I’m really sorry. That was uncalled for. Could you forgive me?”

Natalie rubbed her sore temples. “Ms. Graham, there is no need to apologize. I’ve put it all behind me.”

“So you’ve forgiven me?” Jacqueline’s eyes glinted.
