Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
Chapter 1139

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

"Yup, that's right!" Natalie replied.

"Then, why did Lucy say he's her boyfriend?" the old lady mumbled.

The smile on Natalie's face faded when she heard that.

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! She didn't want me to take Shane away from her! Of course, I can't just conclude that Lucy likes Shane from this information alone. What if it's just an excuse that she made up on the fly? After all, she did bring a man into her house! The villagers would surely gossip about her if she didn't tell them he's her boyfriend.

The villagers began discussing among themselves again.

"This woman says Lucy's boyfriend is her husband. Do you think that's true?"

"I think it is. Her appearance matches that man's so well! Honestly, I think Lucy looks too plain to be with a man like him!"

"So Lucy's lying, then?"

"She probably is. I bet she said that because she fell in love with that handsome man."

Natalie pursed her lips and asked with a forced smile, "Ma'am, do you know where Lucy went?"

"She said it was difficult for her to look after her boyfriend with the poor transportation and medical facilities here, so she's gone searching for a place to rent in town," the old woman replied.

Natalie's heart sank a little as she wondered if Lucy knew she would come for Shane after their phone call last night and was deliberately avoiding her.

"Have they moved out yet, ma'am?" she asked with her fists clenched.

The old lady shook her head. "No, Lucy went to town all by herself this morning."

All by herself... That means Shane is still inside her house!

Natalie's eyes lit up upon hearing that and said with a smile, "Thanks for letting me know, ma'am. Mr. Campbell."

Silas stepped forward when he heard her calling his name. "Yes, madam?"

The villagers respected Natalie even more when they heard how Silas addressed her.

Only the rich and powerful are addressed as "madam"! Looks like this woman here is of a much higher status than we have imagined!

"Pay the villagers some money as a token of appreciation for the information they've provided," Natalie instructed.

Silas nodded. "Right away, madam."

He then gave the villagers a few hundred, and they walked off smiling happily at being paid for something they had casually brought up in the conversation. Natalie then glared coldly at the front gate and gave the order, "Break the lock!"

I know it isn't appropriate for me to do so, but I really want to see Shane! Besides, Lucy is the one who chose to hide Shane from me, so she can't blame me for doing this!

"Yes, madam!" two of the bodyguards replied as they stepped forward and broke the lock with the tools they brought.

Natalie then took a deep breath and entered the house.

It was a rather small place with only two rooms.

As she didn't know which room Shane was in, Natalie checked them both and found him in the second one.

Shane was dressed in shabby clothes and lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut.

The sight of him put Natalie's heart at ease and filled its void completely.

With reddened eyes, she ran toward the bed and stared at Shane for a few seconds before shedding tears of joy. "Darling! I've finally found you!" she cried out while hugging him tightly.
