CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie's sudden question stumped Catherine. Believing that the woman was intentionally humiliating her, Catherine's face took on a menacing look. In a nasty tone, she demanded, “Are you saying that you won't agree, then?”

“That's right.” Natalie nodded, unfazed.

That answer made Catherine sniff disdainfully. “I didn't expect that you would be quite so petty. Why did Shane even fall in love with you?”

“You'll have to ask Shane that yourself. That isn't the only question you'll have to ask him, though. You can try persuading him to lay off Sean. The one who's bent on getting Sean is Shane, after all, not me. I'm afraid I can't be of much use,” Natalie said calmly, taking a sip of tea.

Catherine scowled at her resentfully. “You're Shane's wife! He'll listen to you.”

“I'm sorry, Mrs. Thompson. I don't want to,” Natalie replied frankly.

Sean's mother's chest heaved in agitation. “You really won't agree to it?” she repeated.
