Chapter 1753 I Wonder What Is Inside

But in order to make the worthwhile, he had no choice but to continue playing the jerk.

Sighing, Shane didn't pause his steps, continued to move forward, and quickly entered the walk-in closet.

Natalie stood still, biting her lip, her face all puffed up in annoyance.

But no matter how frustrated she was, there was nothing she could do. He wouldn't let her see what was inside the box, and wouldn't even tell her what was in the box. Besides, he even hid the box away.

What else can she do apart from venting her anger?

Natalie hummed in discontent, grumbling, “If you won't let me see, can't I go ask Lina?”

With that thought, Natalie didn't linger in the room. She turned around and left, heading downstairs.

When Shane had finished stowing away his belongings and emerged from the walk-in closet, all he saw was an empty room, devoid of anyone else.

He was taken aback for a moment.

Where is my wife?

Where is she?

Shane's gaze swept across the room, ensuring he was the only one left. Only after Natalie had left did he rub his brow, and begin to reflect on his actions. Have I gone overboard?

I should have just told her something, anything really. At least I have responded whether she believes it or not.

But thinking about all this now was pointless, the person had already left.

Alright, she is gone now. When evening comes, I'll have to really work on comforting her.

Thinking about what would happen in the evening, Shane's eyes darkened with anticipation, unable to contain his excitement.

On the other side, Natalie went straight to the living room on the first floor of the villa to find Lina after leaving the room.

But Lina wasn't in the living room at the moment. She recalled that after Lina finished her phone call, she went upstairs to check on Anders.

At this moment, Lina should be on the second floor.

With that thought in mind, Natalie's face darkened and headed toward the second floor.

As it turned out, she ran into Stanley who was just about to go downstairs at the staircase on the second floor.

Seeing her with a sullen face, Stanley adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. “What's wrong? Who has upset you?”

He could tell at a glance that she was unhappy. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Natalie shrugged. “Who else could it be if not Shane and Lina?”

Stanley raised an eyebrow. “What did they do to upset you?”

“Lina gave me a gift, but she wouldn't tell me what it was and acted all mysterious. I wanted to open it, but she wouldn't let me, insisting that I should open it in my room. But when I got back to my room, Shane had already opened it. After looking at it, he wouldn't tell me what was inside either just like Lina, nor would he let me see it. Don't you think these two are strange?” Natalie rubbed her temples as she responded.

Stanley nodded. “It is a bit strange, but what was their expression when they stopped you? If it wasn't very serious or solemn, then it means there's nothing wrong with the gift. If they didn't want you to see it, there must be a reason for that.”

“Their expressions, huh.” Natalie rested her index finger on her cheek, deep in thought. “His expression wasn't serious, but rather mysterious. Shane is the kind of person who's hard to read, so I can't really tell what he's up to beneath all that mystery. As for Lina, I've managed to figure out a bit about her. She's quite vulgar.”

“Vulgar?” Stanley showed interest.

Natalie nodded. “Yes, she was indeed very vulgar. When she handed me the gift, she said it was something to enhance my relationship with Shane. The lewd expression on her face when she was speaking... made me want to hit her. I was covered in goosebumps then.”

Upon hearing her words, Stanley suddenly laughed. “Now I know what the gift is.”

It is something meant to improve intimate relationships, yet so indecent. That was why she wasn't even allowed to see it in public but had to go back to her room to look at it.

That should be it.

Natalie had no idea what Stanley was thinking. Her eyes lit up and she quickly looked at him, asking, “Oh? Do you know? Then tell me what is it?”

Stanley's glasses reflected a glint of light. “I'm sorry, Nat. I can't tell you. Since they all want to keep it a secret, I can't ruin their plan, especially Shane. If he knew I told you, he definitely wouldn't let me off. So, you'll have to figure it out on your own.”
