CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“That man is your husband?” The old lady was shocked.

“Yup, that's right!” Natalie replied.

“Then, why did Lucy say he's her boyfriend?” the old lady mumbled.

The smile on Natalie's face faded when she heard that.

Lucy told them that Shane is her boyfriend? Could it be that she has taken a liking to him? Well... Considering how handsome Shane is, it's not uncommon for girls to fall in love with him at first sight. If that's the case, it would make sense why Lucy hung up on me last night! She didn't want me to take Shane away from her! Of course, I can't just conclude that Lucy likes Shane from this information alone. What if it's just an excuse that she made up on the fly? After all, she did bring a man into her house! The villagers would surely gossip about her if she didn't tell them he's her boyfriend.

The villagers began discussing among themselves again.

“This woman says Lucy's boyfriend is her husband. Do you think that's true?”

“I think it is. Her appearance matches that man's so well! Honestly, I think Lucy looks too plain to be with a man like him!”

“So Lucy's lying, then?”

“She probably is. I bet she said that because she fell in love with that handsome man.”

“That man is your husband?” The old lady was shocked.

“Yup, that's right!” Natalie replied.

Natalie pursed her lips and asked with a forced smile, “Ma'am, do you know where Lucy went?”

“She said it was difficult for her to look after her boyfriend with the poor transportation and medical facilities here, so she's gone searching for a place to rent in town,” the old woman replied.

Natalie's heart sank a little as she wondered if Lucy knew she would come for Shane after their phone call last night and was deliberately avoiding her.
