Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 56

There were only two apartment units on this floor. One was home to Natalie and her two children, while the other was unoccupied.

If it were not for her staying up late, Shane might end up lying along the corridor the whole night.

“I live here.” Half-asleep, he shook his head to try to stay awake and replied hoarsely.

Natalie was startled. “Here? Right across?”

She pointed at the door to her left as she asked.

Shane affirmed and handed her a magnetic stripe card. “Please, my head is spinning.”

“Alright.” Having overcome her initial shock, Natalie quickly took the card.

Beep! The door opened and the whole apartment lit up.

After helping Shane in, she placed him on the sofa and looked around his apartment.

His place was much bigger than hers, but it seemed deserted as there was nothing else besides the essential electronic appliances.

“Did you just buy this apartment, Mr. Shane?” Natalie stopped glancing around and asked.

“No.” Shane rubbed against his temples. “I bought it a long time ago but never stayed here.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, what made you come here tonight, Mr. Shane?” Natalie was curious.

Shane paused for a moment and lowered his eyelids to hide his emotions.

In fact, he also did not know why. He had many properties and could have stayed at any one of them.

However, when he was trying to decide where to stay for the night, the faces of Natalie and her children flashed across his mind. As a result, he turned his car around and headed over.

Natalie took Shane’s silence as a sign that she should not have asked her question, so she coughed slightly and changed the topic. “Mr. Shane, I’ll make you some soup to help with your hangover.”

With that said, she left his apartment.

By the time she brought over the soup, Shane had fallen asleep on the sofa.

It looks like the soup is wasted!

Natalie looked down at the soup she was holding. She decided to leave it on the coffee table and went into the bedroom to find Shane a blanket. After covering him with the blanket, she was ready to go back to her unit for some rest.

But when she turned around, he gripped her hand.

Natalie thought Shane had woken up so she turned around to take a look, only to see he was still asleep. He must be having a dream.

“Mr. Shane, can you please let go?” Natalie bent down and whispered into his ears.

However, he showed no response.

With no choice, she could only push away his hands and pull out her own hand.

Unfortunately, the harder she tried, the tighter his grip became.

Eventually, Natalie gave up and looked at the man on the sofa in frustration.

Are you not letting me go home?

Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang.

She let out a long sigh and checked her phone. Seeing the caller ID, she smiled. “Mom.”

“Nat, were you asleep?” The tender voice of a middle-aged woman came through the phone.

Natalie looked at Shane frustratingly. “Not yet.”

She could not even go home given her hand was stuck in his grip, let alone sleep.

“That’s good. I was scared of waking you up.” Yulia chuckled.

Natalie sat next to Shane. “Mom, why are you calling me this late?”

“Nothing much. I just want to let you know that I plan to return next month to pay my respects to your grandpa and grandma,” Yulia replied.

Natalie was surprised. “Sure, I will pick you up at the airport by then.”

“Okay.” Yulia nodded. “Rest earlier, then. I won’t bother you.”

“Okay,” Natalie responded.

She put her phone away after the call ended. Then, supporting her head with one hand, she looked at the man helplessly and debated whether to wake him up.

At this moment, Shane’s lips twitched as if he was mumbling something.

Natalie did not hear what he said, so she leaned closer to his lips to get a better idea. “Mr. Shane, what did you say?”

“Mom…” Shane’s grip on Natalie tightened and he began to plead. “Don’t go. I’ll listen to Grandpa. Don’t go…”
