Why else would he be so cold towards Natale?

It only confirmed Natalie’s suspicions that Shane was acting differently around her.

With no clue of how or why it had happened, the woman felt lost.

Did I do something wrong? Have I done something to make him angry? Why else would he treat me this way?

Despite racking her brain to find a reason, Natalie still could not conclude what triggered the change in his behaviour. If anything, it only left her more puzzled than before.

Perhaps, it will be a better idea to confront him and ask about it in person.

Her eyes quickly scanned the room, but Shane was nowhere in sight. “Where’s Daddy?” she asked her children.

“Daddy is in the study room,” Connor lazily replied.

 

Acknowledging his response, Natalie headed up the stairs to look for him as planned.
