Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 713

Natalie truly wanted to know what exactly she had done wrong.

After all, the feeling of being kept in the dark was a heavy cross to bear.

“Why should I tell you, Ms. Smith? How will it benefit me?” Jacqueline drawled, flipping her wig.

At that, Natalie bit her lower lip. “How about this? You can propose a stipulation, and I’ll agree as long as it’s within reason.”

“You’re sure about that?” Jacqueline’s eyes glinted.

Natalie nodded in affirmation. “Yes.”

“Alright, then. I want you to leave Shane. Go far away with your children, and it’s best if you leave J City. Well? Can you do that?” Jacqueline stared right at her with a cold gleam in her eyes.

All at once, Natalie’s eyes widened a touch. Never had she imagined that Jacqueline would propose such a stipulation.

“Don’t you think you’re being unreasonable, Ms. Graham? I said you can propose a stipulation as long as it’s within reason. This stipulation of yours…”

“I don’t think this stipulation of mine is unreasonable.” Jacqueline spread her hands. “It’s within your capability, isn’t it, Ms. Smith? To me, anything beyond your capability is unreasonable. Besides, it won’t hurt you nor require you to sacrifice your life. It’s simple, no? How is it unreasonable?”

“You’re simply…”

“You’re deliberately putting Mommy in a tight spot!” Connor interjected before Natalie had finished speaking.

His tiny hands fisted, and he glared at Jacqueline furiously.

The same went for Sharon.

Jacqueline, on the other hand, crossed her arms, unbothered. “Ms. Smith, your two children really lack manners to butt in when adults are speaking.”

Her snide remark infuriated Natalie greatly.

As such, the woman stared at her coldly. “Ms. Graham, it’s indeed wrong of them to butt in, but it doesn’t mean that they lack manners. They are merely defending their mother, so I think they’re very noble and brave.”

The two children felt touched upon hearing that. “Mommy…”

“It’s okay, for everything’s fine.” Natalie placed her hands on their shoulders and patted them gently.

Jacqueline’s lips curved into a cold sneer. “But in my opinion, these two bastards have no manners at all!”

“What did you just say about my children?” Natalie’s face darkened, and her voice was icy cold without a hint of warmth.

Argh! How dare she say that my children are bastards?

Connor and Sharon were likewise livid, and their tiny hands clenched into fists.

“That’s not true! Connor and I aren’t what you say we are!” Sharon wailed.

While her brother kept silent, the look in his eyes as he stared at Jacqueline was exceedingly chilly.

Seeing that, Jacqueline couldn’t help shuddering, for it was as though she saw Shane when Connor was mad.

But in the next moment, the haughty woman recovered her composure and mockingly questioned, “Is that not true? Although the two of you address Shane as Daddy, is he really even your father? You both are merely a burden to him!”

Weeping, Sharon wanted to rush forward to hit her while screaming, “We’re not a burden! You’re an evil woman! You’re evil!”

Upon seeing that, Natalie grabbed her daughter. Scooping her up into her arms, she hugged her tightly. “Alright, Sharon, don’t act impulsively.”

The young girl clutched at her clothes and wept uncontrollably. “Mommy, Connor and I aren’t bastards or a burden, right?”

Burning with chagrin, Natalie nodded firmly. “No, you two aren’t bastards, nor are you two a burden. You’re both Mommy’s priceless treasure.”

Only after hearing that did the ire and anguish within Sharon subside.

“Ms. Graham, aren’t you afraid that Daddy would learn about you saying such vile things about us?” Connor regarded Jacqueline coldly, suppressing the fury blazing within him.

Nevertheless, Jacqueline nonchalantly flipped her wig. “Why should I be afraid? Do you think your father will side with you? That’s wishful thinking, for he doesn’t like the two of you anymore. Didn’t you notice that?”

At that question, Connor paled for a moment, left with no retort.

Indeed, she’s right. Daddy’s attitude toward us in the past two days has been there for all to see, so how could I possibly have not seen it?

At the sight of both her son and daughter being dealt such a heavy blowy, Natalie finally snapped. Putting Sharon down, she lifted her hand and swung it right across Jacqueline’s face.
