Natalie nodded at Shane before turning to Jacqueline and greeted her, “Ms. Graham, welcome.”

Seeing how Natalie displayed the lady-of-the-house comportment, Jacqueline lowered her gaze to conceal the jealousy in her eyes and returned with a smile, “Thank you. I thought Ms. Smith will not be pleased to see me here.”

“Not at all.” Natalie shot a gaze at Shane and added, “Shane treats you like his own sister. So as his wife, how can I not welcome you home?”

“Y-You're right.” Her smile was getting stiffer, and within her heart, it was all gloomy.
