CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1688 Marital Burnout

Left with no choice, Shane reluctantly lowered his hand, massaged his temples, and stared at the door separating him from Natalie. His eyes were filled with gloom as he gazed at it for a while before finally turning around and heading toward the neighboring room.

The room next door was separated from Natalie's by just a wall.

Living next door was like living together, even though he couldn't stay in Natalie's room with her.

With this, Shane felt slightly comforted and headed toward the bathroom to freshen up.

Meanwhile, in the room next door, as soon as Natalie heard footsteps outside the door, she immediately got out of bed and ran towards the entrance. Then, she peered through the peephole to see who was outside.

The third floor was exclusively reserved for Shane and her. Apart from the two children and the cleaning housekeepers, no one else would go up there.

Lina, wanting to avoid misunderstandings, was even more reluctant to come here. She only came up here just now because Shane instructed her to do so.

Moreover, since Lina had just been here, the likelihood of her coming back again soon was not high.

As for the housekeepers, they usually clean in the morning or afternoon and wouldn't come in the evening. Besides, the two children had already been sent away, so it was impossible for them to be here.

Anders was still too young to walk, and Zaylee wouldn't carry him around everywhere. Moreover, Anders was still asleep.

Therefore, the only person who would come up here was only Shane.

Left with no choice, Shane reluctantly lowered his hand, massaged his temples, and stared at the door separating him from Natalie. His eyes were filled with gloom as he gazed at it for a while before finally turning around and heading toward the neighboring room.

Did he come back to admit defeat to her?

Natalie stared intently at the peephole, completely forgetting what Lina had just said about Shane living next door.

Especially when she saw Shane stopping at the door, she couldn't even recall Lina's words. She believed that Shane couldn't resist her and decided to let her stay, so he came to admit defeat.

However, just as Natalie was happily about to open the door and let him in, Shane suddenly turned around and walked away.

After his figure disappeared from the peephole, she didn't know what he was doing, but she heard the sound of the door opening.

Therefore, it was clear to her that he was opening the door of the neighboring room.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the text message from Lina just now, saying that Shane was planning to stay next door.

Realizing this, her eyes suddenly felt better, but a wave of rage erupted within her. She couldn't help but stomp her foot.

She thought he had returned to compromise and let her stay.

She didn't expect that he had walked to the wrong door.

I'm so annoyed!

Natalie bit her lip, so frustrated that she was on the verge of tears.

In the end, she didn't cry. She just snorted and turned to walk to her bed. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

If he doesn't come back, then he doesn't come back. If he doesn't want to compromise, then let him not compromise. At most, I won't compromise and admit defeat too. Who doesn't have a temper? Let's see who can outlast the other!

Natalie inhaled deeply, lifted the blanket, and returned to her bed, where she prepared to fall asleep.

Nevertheless, when she closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep, as she felt restless and agitated.

In the end, she sat up, grabbed the pillow Shane usually slept on, and started hitting it, venting her frustrations as if it were Shane. It seemed that only by doing this could she feel a little better.

Unfortunately, even after doing so, her mood didn't improve much, and she didn't feel like venting her anger anymore.

Natalie hugged Shane's pillow, looking at it with a bitter smile.

This was the first time she and Shane slept in separate rooms, although they were still in a relationship.

She felt sad and uneasy even though it was relatively novel.

It made her feel as if she and Shane had entered a state of marital burnout, which she disliked.

At the same time, this was the second time they argued and gave each other the silent treatment.

The first time was when they were schemed against by Jacqueline, leading Shane to mistakenly believe that her mother was the one who killed his parents in a car accident.

At that time, their silent treatment lasted for a long time, even to the point of almost ending in divorce. So, one could imagine how intense their arguments were and how terrifying the silent treatment was.

Even now, when she thought about it, she still felt scared.
