Chapter 778

In the end, Natalie had no choice but to steel herself up and bite the guy.

Shane grunted in pain a little before letting her go.

Natalie backed away quickly. She glared at Shane and growled, “You…”

“You want me to trust you completely, and I can do that,” said Shane to cut her words short. He was
wiping his injured lip as he spoke.

Natalie’s eyes bulged a little, but she was quick to regain her footing and refuted, “No, you can’t.”

“Yes, I can,” insisted Shane with a sincere look on his face.

Natalie’s heart stirred for a moment there, but she scoffed and reminded, “Some things are easier said
than done.”

“I know. That’s why I will work to prove my words. Just please, don’t divorce me, okay?” said Shane as
he stared lovingly into her eyes. His tone carried an obvious hint that he was begging her.

He’s begging me! I can’t believe that a man who is that proud will lower his stance to the extent that he
is begging me to stay.

Natalie couldn’t deny that she was touched for a moment there, but she clenched her fists tightly. The
pain reminded her to keep a clear mind, and that stopped her from promising him anything.

That being said, she didn’t reject him completely either. She simply turned around and left.

Shane didn’t stop her. He watched as she left.

He knew that for her to not reject or accept him was the best result he could hope for at that moment.



At least she won’t be in a hurry to get a divorce. All that’s left is for me to prove my words. Maybe
someday I will touch her heart and that’ll convince her to stay. Everything will be alright, then.

Natalie pursed her lips as she traveled. She didn’t know if she made the right choice by giving Shane a
chance to make things right.

Indeed, she actually gave him a chance.

Shane had truly touched her with his persistence.

Even though Natalie had not given up on divorcing him, her heart was swaying.

That was why she gave him the silent treatment. It was her way of giving him a chance to make up for
the pain he caused.

If he proved that he could be better, Natalie thought that she could forgive him for the sake of the baby
in her womb.

However, if he failed to do so, then she will no longer be dissuaded from getting a divorce. His failure
would prove that they were not right for each other.

Shane Thompson, will you let me down this time? Or will you prove me wrong?

Natalie frowned. She wasn’t confident in his success.

She left the building after her meeting concluded. She grabbed a quick bite before she went to the
immigration office to register for a visa.

She would be leaving the country to participate in the competition on the following Wednesday. If she
applied for the visa that day, she would get it before the following Wednesday.

Natalie got in her car and drove back to her office after she finished applying for the visa.



The first thing she noted the moment she stepped into her office was that every employee was staring
at her in excitement.

The way they stared made her a little uncomfortable. She even thought that she might have some stain
on her clothes, so she tilted her head down. However, she didn’t see anything. Natalie couldn’t contain
her curiosity and asked, “What’s wrong? Why is everyone staring at me?”

“You should head back to your office, Ms. Smith. There’s a surprise waiting for you,” teased an
employee.

“A surprise?” blurted Natalie curiously. “What surprise?”

Perplexed, she walked to her office while everyone’s gaze followed her closely.

Natalie opened the door to her office with everyone watching. The sight of the place instantly stunned
her.

Red roses donned every inch of her office, making it almost impossible for her to walk. Her office was
practically a sea of roses.

Natalie covered her lips in astonishment. It took her some time to regain her senses and asked, “What
is going on here? Who sent these?”

“Who else could it be? Your husband sent them,” replied Joyce as she approached Natalie from the
back.

Natalie turned around and asked again, “What? Shane sent these over?”

“Yeah,” replied Joyce while nodding. She put the file she was holding away, then dragged Natalie to the
side before asking, “Nat, what is up between you and Mr. Shane? Wasn’t he being all passive-



aggressive to you just earlier? Why is he going all out to get you back now?”

The guy sent so many flowers over and gave every employee a nice, little gift. He is obviously courting
his wife and trying to get her back.

Natalie’s lips twitched and replied, “He’s acting this way because all misunderstandings have been
cleared.”

“It’s cleared?” said Joyce as she blinked. After that, she cheered and said, “That must mean that Yulia
is cleared of suspicion! That is the only reason why Mr. Shane would court you again.”
