Rather than giving her the cold shoulder, she would have preferred him yelling at her.

Compared to his outbursts, Shane's silence instilled greater fear into her heart. If he gets mad, it shows that he still cares about me. Has Shane decided to abandon me because he's disappointed? Is that why he's so quiet?

As she thought about it, Natalie hurriedly wore the ring on her finger again. Carefully, she tugged on Shane's sleeve to snag his attention. “Shane, I'm sorry! I wasn't in my right mind earlier. Please don't be angry. Look, I've worn the ring again. If you don't believe me, you can look at it yourself!”

Natalie extended her hand in front of his face as she spoke.

Finally, Shane cracked his eyes open. Seeing the ring back on her finger seemed to have melted the icy expression he wore.

“I won't forgive you the next time!” He grasped her hand and warned her.

“Alright!” Natalie nodded in earnest.

In her mind, she vowed to never act in such a reckless manner again. The sudden change in his attitude had terrified her immensely.

If I do it again, he might actually abandon me!

Shane placed her hand on his thigh and rubbed his thumb along the back of her hand with affection. There seemed to be something troubling that plagued his mind.

After half an hour, they pulled up at the office.

After bidding Shane farewell, Natalie clambered out of the car and made her way toward the main building.
