CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1709 He Stopped Me From Telling You

Lina quickly leaned backward. “Please do not falsely accuse me. I intended to tell you earlier, but Mr. Thompson saw through my intentions in advance and stopped me from informing you.”

“Why?”

Natalie widened her eyes, confused.

Lina shrugged and said, “What else could it be? It's such a straightforward reason that all of us could have understood from the beginning. You are simply so fixated on the idea of staying that you can't understand. Mr. Thompson's intention is quite simple - he wants you to figure it out on your own. After all, understanding it by yourself is much better than having someone else tell you. At least, you'll be able to appreciate Mr. Thompson's efforts more.”

Lina's words left Natalie speechless. She was indeed right.

Truly grasping something through personal understanding would always carry more conviction than merely hearing it from others.

Shane wanted Natalie to figure it out on her own, so he stopped the latter.

Natalie looked at Lina and asked, “Why did you suddenly decide to clear things up with me now?”

Lina sighed. “I didn't want to say anything, but I couldn't help myself. You two have been giving each other the silent treatment for several days now, and it's giving me a headache even though I'm just an outsider. Furthermore, the longer this silent dispute between the two of you persists, the more confused you become. I can't bear it any longer, so I feel compelled to tell you directly. If this continues, your relationship with Mr. Thompson will truly be at risk. Honestly, Nat, you have the ability to understand and figure out so many things, so why is it that this particular matter has been so difficult for you to comprehend?”
