Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 284

At the sight of his muscular torso, she held her breath and blushed involuntarily while her heart raced.

Even though she had already seen his body last night, there was still a thin shirt covering it, so it was not as visible as it was now.

As her gaze fell on his muscular, well-defined abs, she could not help but run her fingers over them.

After that, she came to the realization of what she had just done and smacked her own face exasperatedly. It took her a short while before she calmed herself down and wrung a towel to wipe him down.

That took about half an hour.

“Pfft….” Natalie stood up and let out a long breath. With the towel in one hand, she used her other hand to pound her rather sore back. After wiping down Shane, she was so exhausted that she felt like she had just returned from the warzone with beads of sweat all over her body.

Natalie gazed down at the man and smiled helplessly. Then, she covered him with the blanket again and prepared to pour out the water in the bathroom.

However, he suddenly tugged onto the edge of her blouse the moment she got up.

She could not move and fell backward haphazardly. With a scream of surprise, she landed on his body, forcing a groan of pain out of him.

“Mr. Shane!” Natalie’s pupils constricted as she immediately turned to check on Shane without a care for her own sore back. She was worried that he would sustain internal injuries because of her fall, while he had not even recovered from his fever yet.

Just as Natalie lifted the covers and was about to check Shane’s chest, he suddenly opened up his eyes. Then, he glanced at her for barely two seconds before looping his arm around her waist. With one fell swoop, she was in his embrace, and his eyes were shut again.

“Mr. Shane? Mr. Shane?” She nudged him lightly to get him to release her.

However, he fell asleep again and had no reaction. It was as if she had imagined the whole scene of him waking up.

But she knew it wasn’t her imagination since his arm was still around her waist.

Natalie could smell the alcohol on his body. As she felt his breath on top of her head, her heart thumped wildly.

She did not expect things to end up like this by just helping him wipe down his body. Hence, she was somewhat panicking.

The moment she looked up at him, she was stunned by how attractive he was when he slept. With that, her panic dissipated and her tensed body loosened up.

She raised her hand from his chest and placed them on his face. Then, she ran her fingers gently across his brows with a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

This was the man she loved, and he was her children’s father. Unfortunately, there was another woman in his heart.

She knew very well that she should keep a distance from this man and forget about him. However, she could not stop the urge to get closer to him. She had no idea how things would turn out thereafter.

Sighing, Natalie smiled bitterly, feeling lost and anxious at the same time.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Soon, her woes were interrupted by the sudden sound of a phone ringing.

As Natalie’s hands trembled, her body tensed up again with a pang of inexplicable guilt. She immediately pushed Shane’s arm away from her waist and got to her feet.

After that, she let out a breath to calm her nerves down. When she finally went to the bedside and took a look at his cell phone, she saw Jacqueline’s name flickering on the screen.

At this moment, Natalie felt a hint of uneasiness for some inexplicable reason. She looked down to conceal the sadness in her eyes and picked up the call.

However, before she could say anything, Jacqueline’s gentle voice piped up, “Shane, didn’t you say that you’d accompany me at the hospital today? Why aren’t you here yet?”

“About that… Ms. Graham, I am not Mr. Shane,” Natalie pushed her hair aside and said with embarrassment.

At the other end of the line, Jacqueline’s smiling face turned icy cold when she heard a woman’s voice instead of Shane’s. However, her tone remained gentle. “May I know who you are then?”
