Nothing made sense, so Natalie bit her lip and shrugged off her confusion.

Both Natalie and Joyce jerked their heads back to see Jacqueline coming down the stairs while holding the rail for support.

“Oh, I see. I won't disturb you then. Have fun!” Jacqueline spun on her heels and walked toward the garden.

Joyce nodded in acknowledgement. “Oh, that sounds better. She shouldn't be staying here. You're married to Mr. Shane, and she's his childhood sweetheart who still has feelings for him. It's ridiculous to have his wife and childhood sweetheart stay under the same roof.”

Natalie smiled in response and said nothing.
