“That man is your husband?” The old lady was shocked.

“Yup, that’s right!” Natalie replied.

Lucy told them that Shane is her boyfriend? Could it be that she has taken a liking to him? Well… Considering how handsome Shane is, it’s not uncommon for girls to fall in love with him at first sight. If that’s the case, it would make sense why Lucy hung up on me last night!
