Chapter 647

After washing up, she headed downstairs to pour herself some water when she heard voices. It was
Jackson and Jacqueline.

“Dr. Baker,” greeted Natalie as she walked down the stairs.

In response, Jackson smiled back at her.

She then looked at Jacqueline, “You sent Ms. Graham back?”

“Yeah,” replied Jackson as he nodded.

Although Jacqueline could not see Natalie, she could roughly make out where Natalie was, based on her
voice. Thus, she turned toward Natalie and said, “It’s late, Ms. Smith. You haven’t slept?”

“Not yet. I’m drawing out some blueprints,” Natalie replied.

Jacqueline nodded. “I see.”

After that, she did not ask any more questions.

“Come, Jacqueline. I’ll take you back to your room,” said Jackson as he helped her up.



Jacqueline did not refuse, she slowly headed upstairs with his help.

Natalie watched their backs as they went upstairs. Although they matched each other well, something
still felt a little weird.

Since Jackson loved Jacqueline so much, he was very cautious while helping her.



However, although Jacqueline was technically together with him, she was still somewhat alienated in her
words and actions.

Anyway, no matter what, it’s none of my business.

As she continued to ponder, Natalie looked away from the pair and poured herself a glass of water.
Then, she turned to head back to the room.

Just as she reached the stairs, Jackson came back down.

“Are you leaving, Dr. Baker?” she asked.

He nodded. “Yeah, it’s getting late. I should head home.”

“Get home safely,” she replied and smiled.

After thanking her, he then turned to leave.

However, after a few steps, he seemed to have remembered something, for he paused and said, “By the
way, Ms. Smith.”

“Hm?” Natalie turned behind to look at him. “Is there something else?”

“Not much. I just wanted to tell you that I’m renovating my villa as fast as I can. Once the furniture
Jacqueline likes arrives, I’ll take her over to my place,” he said before he left.

She raised her eyebrows, then smiled as she headed back to her room.

Well, Jacqueline is his girlfriend now. It’s a little weird for her to stay at his friend’s house.

As she thought about how Jacqueline was about to move out soon, Natalie’s feelings naturally improved.

When Shane got back and noticed her smiling widely, he could not help but ask, “Why’re you smiling?”



“Are you done with work?” she asked, putting down the design manual.

Loosening his tie while walking toward the bed, he replied, “Almost.”

She then got up and stood by the bed as she helped him take his tie off. “I’ve said it so many times.
Don’t pull on your tie like this in front of a designer. You keep doing it.”

He pouted. “What if it’s because I want you to untie it for me?”

She was taken aback for a moment before she rolled her eyes and ignored him.

He then took off his jacket. “You haven’t told me what you were smiling at just now.”

“Nothing much. Dr. Baker just sent Ms. Graham back. He told me he’ll take her to stay with him after a
few days,” she replied truthfully.

Since her love rival was leaving, of course, she would be happy.

He hummed in reply, then said, “That’s good. I’ll go take a bath.”

“Go,” she replied before hanging his jacket aside.

Ten minutes later, he came out of the shower.

She was still reading her design manual then.

Thus, he walked over and took away her book, then bent down to kiss her.

However, she suddenly blocked his mouth with her fingers. “Not tonight.”

“Why?” he asked, frowning.



She shook her head. “I don’t know why but my stomach’s not feeling very good. It feels a little sore.”

As she spoke, she rubbed on her lower abdomen.

By then, the feeling had been going on for almost a day.

“You feel sore?” Shane lowered his head and looked at her stomach, then picked up his phone to make a
call.

However, she pulled on his hand. “What’re you doing?”

“Calling the doctor to come over,” he replied easily.

She laughed. “It’s fine. I have probably eaten too much that my stomach is bloated. Maybe it’ll be fine by
tomorrow.”
