Chapter 558

Rubbing her arms, Natalie walked back to the dining room and sat down again. Her smile was wry as
she stared at the untouched food. “A husband leaves his wife to meet another woman on their wedding
night. What kind of nonsensical situation is this?”

Picking up the knife and fork, she proceeded to prod at the steak weakly.

She could understand why Shane went to see Jacqueline. After all, they grew up together, so it would
only make him look bad if he did not go.

Nonetheless, she still felt upset. It was her wedding night, and no one expected it to turn out that way.

She finished the steak bitterly, then brought the plate to the kitchen to wash.

Afterward, she went back to her room to take a shower before lying down on the bed. She was going to
draw out some blueprints while she waited for Shane to return.

Natalie was already yawning by one o’clock in the morning, yet Shane was still not home. As a result,
she felt irritated.

“Didn’t he say that he’d be back soon? It’s already been about five hours,” she muttered to herself. At the
same time, she took out her phone and called Shane, intending to ask when he would return.

However, she soon found out that his phone was turned off.

Feeling helpless, she put down the phone and massaged her temples before pulling the sheets over
herself. She stared at the ceiling in a daze, wondering what he was doing at that moment.



Before long, her vision gradually blurred, and she fell asleep.



Shortly afterward, the sound of an engine came from outside the villa.

The room door was pushed open after that. A figure walked in, the moonlight casting a tall shadow on
the ground. Without turning on the light, he headed straight for the bed.

Standing by the bedside, he looked at the sleeping woman before bending over to kiss her on the cheek.
Then, he walked into the bathroom.

When Natalie woke up the next day, she felt an arm around her waist, hugging her tightly.

She froze for a moment, and when it clicked in her brain, she turned to her side.

She saw that Shane was sleeping soundly beside her. Widening her eyes, she said, “He actually came
back!”

She had not managed to catch him before she fell asleep.

She even thought that he would not return. However, he did in the end, although she did not know when
he returned.

Looking at his frown and the faint dark circles under his eyes, she knew that he was exhausted.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to sleep so soundly.

Usually, even if she only moved a little, he would wake up instantly.

Who knows what he did for Jacqueline last night that made him this exhausted.

A wave of jealousy surged within Natalie at that thought.

After all, it would be strange if she felt happy to see her husband busily taking care of another woman.



She could not wait to wake him up and make him explain everything that had happened the previous
night.

However, seeing how tired he was, she could not bring herself to do it in the end.

Natalie gave a faint sigh before removing his arm that was wrapped around her waist. Afterward, she got
out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up before changing her clothes and leaving the room.

When she went downstairs, she saw that Mrs. Wilson was already. The older woman was cleaning the
coffee table with a rag and removing the living room decorations when she heard footsteps. “You’re
awake, Madam.”

Natalie was not used to being called “Madam.” Although she had already seen it written on the note the
previous night, it was very different from actually hearing the word.

Therefore, at that moment, she felt a little awkward and embarrassed. However, she still nodded in
acceptance. “Morning, Mrs. Wilson.”

After all, she had married Shane and was indeed a madam of the Thompson family.

“Good morning, Madam,” Mrs. Wilson said, wiping her hands on her apron. Then, she looked behind
Natalie and asked, “Is Sir not awake yet?”

Natalie shook her head. “No. He’s still sleeping.”
