Natalie leaned back against the couch and massaged her shoulder before replying, “It's fine. It's just that my back is aching from the constant sitting.”

“Does it hurt a lot?” Shane frowned.

Natalie smiled. “Not really. I'll be fine after resting for a while.”

“I'll get someone to change your chair into a massage chair. That way, you can turn it on if you feel uncomfortable,” Shane told her.

Natalie did not know how to react to his words. “No, please don't. There's no need for that. We're there as judges, and we're there to guide the participants, not to enjoy life. So, what's the point of getting a massage chair for me?”

“But your back aches,” Shane said in disagreement. It seemed like he was determined to get her the massage chair.

Natalie shook her head in exasperation. “I really don't need it. Are you really going to give me special treatment every time I work?”

“Why not? It's not as if I'm not capable of doing that,” said Shane nonchalantly.

Natalie replied in amusement, “I know you can do that, but what I'm trying to tell you is that you'll be spoiling me. If I need your help with everything I want to do, I'll lose my independence. So, Darling, I know that you're doing this for my sake, but I don't need it. If I do need it, I'll tell you about it. I promise.”

Shane was quiet for a while. A moment later, he responded, “Okay, I agree with you about that. Still, don't force yourself too much on everything; you have to come to me if you encounter any trouble. I'm your husband—not an outsider. I know that you're a tough woman, but I still wish for you to rely on me when you need to.”
