CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1710

Chapter 1710 Ignored My Calls

Upon hearing her words, Natalie couldn't help but feel nonplussed. “It sounds like you understand the art of marriage better than I do. But didn't you fail to win Bryan over?”

“Um...” The corner of Lina's mouth twitched slightly. She then straightened her back and replied confidently, “Although I didn't manage to win Bryan over, I did a lot of research and studied a lot of relationship strategies in order to pursue him. So, when it comes to dealing with husbands or boyfriends, I'm sure I know more than you do, at least in terms of theoretical knowledge.”

Seeing her like that, Natalie couldn't help but laugh and shake her head, feeling amused. “All right, all right, you make a good point. Fine, I'll do as you say and forget about my ego.”

“That's more like it!” Lina laughed.

Natalie took a deep breath. This time, her finger finally pressed the dial button, connecting the call to Shane.

The call was connected and Natalie's eyes remained fixed on the cell phone screen. Both her hands clenched slightly and her breathing became tense. Her heart raced faster.

Clearly, she was nervous.

It was actually rather amusing if she thought about it. Shane was her husband, and when she called him usually, it was something completely natural. Her heart was filled with nothing but anticipation.

However, after a few days of silent treatment, she actually felt nervous about calling him again.

This must be the aftermath of feelings fading down.

If the cold war between them persisted, she would become even more hesitant to call Shane. She might even fear initiating a conversation with him when they meet or speak, and if she did muster the courage to start a conversation, it would lack the intimacy they once shared. It would only accentuate the awkwardness and unfamiliarity between them.

Upon hearing her words, Natalie couldn't help but feel nonplussed. “It sounds like you understand the art of marriage better than I do. But didn't you fail to win Bryan over?”

So, what Lina said was true – it was fine to give each other a cold shoulder since it's impossible for a couple to avoid arguments and disputes in a marriage. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

However, one should definitely know when to stop and put an end to the cold war. Otherwise, even the strongest of relationships would eventually come to an end without any apparent reason.

The call was connected, but strangely, no one picked up.

This caused Natalie's eyes to darken, and she panicked a little inside.

She bit her lower lip, and asked somewhat uncertainly, “Do you think he's deliberately avoiding my calls?”

Lina quickly shook her head. “No, definitely not. How could Mr. Thompson possibly ignore your calls deliberately?”

“Are you sure?” Natalie looked up at her and said, “He has always had an arrogant and cold personality. We've been giving each other the silent treatment these past few days, and we've ignored each other the whole time. He hasn't spoken a single word to me nor reached out to me. Obviously, he is also a very proud person. Therefore, it's not entirely impossible that he will deliberately ignore my calls.”

Upon hearing this, Lina was left speechless.

Indeed, she wasn't sure if Shane was deliberately not answering the phone.

After all, she didn't know much about the man.

There had been many cases of couples engaged in a cold war where one party already chose to take a step back, but the other still remains unwavering and unwilling to yield.

Therefore, she was also unsure whether Shane was one of those under this category.

But now, all she could do was reassure Natalie.

If that's really the case, hopefully, Mr. Thompson could gradually let go of this awkward situation. It might be understandable for him to ignore a few of Nat's calls, but he should not persist in giving her the cold shoulder for a long period. If this continued, it would really be the end of them.

After all, Nat had already come to terms with him and was willing to take a step back. If Mr. Thompson was not willing to compromise now, then Nat would once again give Mr. Thompson the cold shoulder. And this time, the silent dispute would be serious. So, Mr. Thompson, you must answer the call. You have to answer it, or else you might lose your wife.

Lina clasped her hands together and prayed non-stop silently in her mind.

Sitting across from her, Natalie was staring intently at her cell phone, watching the dialing interface. As the ring echoed again and again, no one answered the phone. Natalie's heart grew heavier and colder with each passing moment.

Her teeth bit tighter on her lips, and her emotions gradually shifted from anticipation to gloom.

Seeing her like this, Lina couldn't help but feel worried about her. “Nat...”

“I'm fine.” Natalie shook her head and managed to squeeze out a faint smile.

Lina remained silent, still looking at her with concern.

Fine?

Natalie's face was growing paler and paler. How could she possibly be fine?
