Chapter 649

Shane wasn’t even examining her wound. He was toying with her.

How unexpected it is to learn that he has such a fetish!

Only when Shane received a cold glare from Natalie did he turn his attention to the injury on her foot.

The injury in question turned out to be an abrasion on the back of her heel. With a patch of skin being
rubbed off by friction, every little movement caused Natalie to wince in pain.

She gasped at the slightest touch by Shane, who retracted his hand hurriedly.

“I don’t think you can wear these high heels now,” Shane said in a very serious tone, “We must do
something about your heel. Come, I’ll take you to the lounge.

He picked up the pair of heels on the floor and swept Natalie off her feet in one swift motion.

Natalie did not expect to be carried. As she let out a yelp of surprise, she instinctively wrapped her arms
around his neck.

Natalie’s exclamation had drawn the attention of the entire dining hall onto both of them.

Blushing at being the center of attention, she promptly buried her face in Shane’s chest to avoid the
crowd’s gaze.



Shane, however, remained composed. Without even a flinch, he carried her over to the lounge as
promised. As he passed the staring crowd, he even offered up an explanation. “My wife has injured her
leg. I’m taking her for treatment.”

The other guests smiled affectionately as they parted to allow them to pass more easily.



They were very much impressed by Shane’s act of care for his wife.

As a result, the couple arrived at the lounge without much trouble.

Shane placed Natalie on the couch as a waiter arrived with some medication upon a tray. It was not the
only thing that the tray bore, as Natalie caught sight of a brand-new pair of flats as well.

“This was prepared by the princess. As soon as she had found out about Ms. Smith’s injury, she had had
me bring these over specially for you.” The waiter relayed the message of his employer accordingly.

It appeared that Shane’s words to the other guests found their way to the little princess’s ears.

As a result, she had dispatched her servant to deliver some medicine and the flats.

Having spared the trouble of having to request for those items himself, Shane was rather relieved. “Many
thanks.” he nodded at the waiter.

With a bow, the waiter departed.

Shane brought the tray over to Natalie. Kneeling down before her like a noble knight, he placed her ankle
on his knee.

Natalie felt uncomfortable with their position as it made her feel embarrassed. “Darling, why don’t you sit
next to me instead? Like how you did earlier. I’m not used to this.” She gestured at her outstretched foot.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it very soon.” Shane ignored her request as he proceeded to apply
ointment onto her wound.

When he was done, he made another sudden movement that made Natalie exclaim in surprise for the
second time that night.

He lifted her foot and kissed it.



Natalie flushed crimson in an instant. Instinctively, she shoved him away. “What… what’re you doing?”

“Can’t you tell?” Shane replied calmly as he placed her foot back down to put on the flats for her. “All
done.”

Natalie stared at the spot Shane had kissed. The patch of skin where his lips had brushed seared with
embarrassment. “You…”

Before she could speak, Natalie’s phone from within her purse rang which was a welcome distraction
from her predicament.

With a sigh of relief, she rummaged through her purse for her phone and saw that it was a call from Lina.
“Hello?” she picked up without hesitation.

“Nat, hurry up and come over! Something had happened to Joyce!” came Lina’s urgent voice.

Natalie’s face turned pale at Lina’s news. Without regard for the pain in her ankle, she jumped to her
feet. “What happened?” she demanded.

Shane frowned at the sudden seriousness in which Natalie responded to the phone call. He too stared
curiously at the phone in her hand.

“It wasn’t even anything serious. She’d met a couple and cried as she spoke to the guy,” Lina said with a
forlorn glance at Joyce who was beside her.

Natalie’s eyes narrowed. “Is the guy bespectacled and has a nice smile?”

“That’s right!” Lina nodded eagerly. “You know him, Nat?”

“He’s a friend of ours,” replied Natalie quietly.
