Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1174

To be more specific, the figure was blocking Shane’s path.

It was Lucy.

Shane furrowed his brows the second he saw her.

Silas was frowning just as much. However, he was still aware of what his job scope was, so he stepped forward and shielded Shane behind him. The former seemed a little impatient when he looked at Lucy and asked, “Ms. Rivers, it’s past your working hours. Why are you still here?”

“I’m here for Mr. Shane,” replied Lucy. She took a step closer to them, and her eyes shone with love when she stared at Shane.

All that only served to make Shane’s frown tighten even more. “What do you want?” he asked.

“Mr. Shane, I…” Lucy fiddled with her fingers, mustering her courage. “You don’t love Ms. Smith, so you don’t need to throw a wedding or marry her. You don’t need to sacrifice yourself like that.”

“What?” Silas was utterly confused.

What the hell is this woman talking about? What does she mean when she said that he doesn’t love his wife? Heck, that man is so in love that he is bordering on lunacy!

Shane was taken aback as well. He regained his composure soon after, and distaste painted his face when he demanded, “Who the f*ck told you that I don’t love my wife?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Lucy saw the distaste in his eyes. A sharp pain stung her heart, and she felt wronged.

She had waited for hours for him to show up. All she wanted was to tell him that he didn’t need to sacrifice himself, yet he was looking at her with a gaze like that.

Lucy bit her lip. She sounded a little hurt when she replied, “No one told me anything. I simply guessed it.”

Silas rolled his eyes at her.

Seriously? Her take on the matter is that Mr. Thompson doesn’t love his wife? Yeah, she definitely has some sort of brain damage or something.

Shane was getting impatient. Still frowning, he challenged, “Why would I marry my wife if I don’t love her?”

That question stumped Lucy.

He’s right. Why would he marry her if he didn’t love her? D-Does that mean… Is he really marrying her because he loves her? No, that is not possible. If he truly loved her, he would’ve had the wedding reception ages ago. There is no need to wait for so long. He must be lying to me. Yes, that has to be it!

Those thoughts got Lucy to take a deep breath to calm herself down. She shifted her gaze back to Shane and replied, “Are you marrying her because it’s a political move?”

That’s how it plays out on TV. Rich people always get married because of political issues.

Shane’s eye twitched.

Silas, however, couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing. He pointed out, “Ms. Rivers, it’s true that many rich families join forces by arranging their marriage, but Mr. Thompson doesn’t need to do that. He is powerful enough on his own. Mr. Thompson is with his wife because he loves her, understand? You should stop saying bullsh*t about how Mr. Thompson doesn’t love his wife. That is ridiculous. Who does he love if not his wife? You?”

“I…” Lucy blushed. Her first instinct was to nod, but she was knocked back to her senses when she looked into Shane’s distant eyes, which were glowing with zero warmth. “That is not what I meant.”

Silas scoffed, “I hope that is true. Let me give you a kind-hearted warning. It doesn’t matter if Mr. Thompson loves his wife. An outsider like you has no right to butt in on the matter.”

“I-I am not an outsider,” Lucy quickly said.

Confusion and curiosity filled Silas’ mind right away.

Not an outsider? Does she think of herself as someone inside the loop?

“I-I was the one who rescued Mr. Thompson,” Lucy replied meekly while tossing a glance at Shane.

Shane massaged his temple and replied, “If it is at all possible, I truly wish that you weren’t the one who rescued me.”

“What?” Lucy’s expression instantly stiffened, and she stared at him in disbelief. “Y-You wish that I didn’t rescue you?”

How can he say that? Does he realize how much he’s hurting me?

“You rescuing me made it so that my men spent days and still couldn’t find me. Your so-called rescue also made it so that Thompson Group almost fell prey to our enemy. My wife was also triggered after learning how I was missing and that forced her to go through a premature delivery, and my youngest son is still lying in an incubator because of it! This is what your rescue did to me.”
