“Never mind if you don't want to go to the kitchen, but I'm not eating then.” Natalie stood up as well and made to leave.

It was true that she didn't want to dine at the same table as Jacqueline, but at the same time, she also wanted to see her importance to Sean.

She wanted to know who mattered more to him, between her and Jacqueline.

If I'm more important to him, perhaps she'll have to think twice before doing anything to me. But if it's the other way round, then I'll resign myself to putting up with her moving forward. After all, this is their territory.

Of course, she hoped that it was the latter. If so, perhaps Sean wouldn't stop her if she wanted to teach Jacqueline a lesson.
