Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1141

The look on Natalie’s face turned cold as she finally confirmed her suspicions about Lucy liking Shane and her plans to take him away.

I was actually planning on repaying her for saving Shane’s life if my suspicions were proven to be false, but now… It seems there is no longer a need for that! I’ll probably just thank her and leave her with some money instead.

With that in mind, Natalie asked coldly, “Why can’t he be my husband? Who do you think he belongs to, then? You?”

“I… I…” Lucy stuttered out of guilt.

Natalie snickered when she saw her reaction. “I know why you denied saving him and hung up on me, Lucy. It’s because you took a liking to my husband!”

“T-That’s not true…” Lucy protested softly, much to Natalie’s amusement.

“Really? Then, why did you deny saving him, hmm? Why lie about it?”

Lucy was burning bright red and got so flustered that she didn’t even dare look at Natalie.

“I was afraid that you might be lying, so I…” she mumbled, her voice growing softer and softer with each word.

“Mr. Campbell, will you please show her my marriage certificate? That way, Lucy here will know I’m not lying about being his wife!” Natalie said with a sneer.

Silas nodded. “Yes, madam!”

Lucy’s eyes went wide upon hearing the words “marriage certificate”, and she broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

She fully believed that the beautiful woman before her was the wife of the handsome man she found.

However, believing only made it even more difficult for her to accept that fact.

I have finally found myself a man whom I like, only to find out that he’s already married? Why did things have to turn out like this? Why would God do this to me?

At that moment, Lucy was consumed by a combination of humiliation and anger.

She felt humiliated by Natalie exposing her lies with the marriage certificate, and she was angry at God for treating her so unfairly.

Silas retrieved the marriage certificate and handed it to Natalie.

She then held it up to Lucy’s face and said, “Here, take a good look at this, Ms. Rivers! This is our marriage certificate! Now, do you believe we’re husband and wife?”

Lucy bit down on her lip as she read the words in front of her.

Natalie Smith and Shane Thompson… So, that’s his name…

“I hope you have a good look at it!” Natalie said with a smile as she put the marriage certificate away.

Lucy opened her mouth, but the words were somehow stuck in her throat.

“It is very reprehensible of you, lying about my husband and trying to hide him from us in a rented house. However, I will let you off the hook as you did save his life, after all. Tell me your requests, Lucy.

I’ll try to grant them if I can afford to. Think of it as a token of gratitude for saving his life, if you will. Of course, you could just give me a figure if it’s money that you want!” Natalie said while staring at her.

Lucy glared back at Natalie with reddened eyes. “How dare you insult my integrity like this, Ms. Smith!”

Natalie and Silas were both confused by her response.

“How am I insulting your integrity, Ms. Rivers?”

Lucy bit down on her lip as she shouted angrily, “By humiliating me with your damned money! What, you think being rich gives you the right to walk all over me?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The corner of Natalie’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing that.

Silas too had a speechless look on his face. “That’s not what madam meant, Ms. Rivers. She’s just trying to repay you for saving her husband, that’s all!”

There’s nothing embarrassing about asking someone for money after saving their life! In fact, they might actually prefer it if you asked for money as it’d make things a lot simpler! Some people might make strange requests that you can’t fulfill yet find it difficult to refuse. Even if you ask for a huge sum, it’s still a lot easier to manage! Why would Ms. Rivers find it insulting?

“I don’t need you to repay me! I saved him willingly out of kindness and compassion, and I never expected to be rewarded for doing so! Don’t ever talk about repaying me again because it’s an insult to my integrity!” Lucy shouted proudly with her head held high.
