CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake Chapter 1537

Chapter 1537Upon hearing Lina's comment, Natalie chuckled. “You're right about that for it serves Jessie right. But
then, I don't feel happy at all.”
“That's because you're kind, so you don't feel that an eye for an eye is something worth celebrating,”
Lina analyzed.
Natalie propped her head up. “Perhaps. All right, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that she has
gone insane, I can let go of the grievances between us at long last. I no longer have to keep her in
mind every second of every day, tiring myself out.”
That was to say, she could put away all enmity she harbored against Susan and Jasmine the moment
the latter snapped and became unhinged.
From now on, I've got one less enemy!
“Anyway, are you going to tell Mr. Thompson about this?” Lina questioned.
At once, a smile bloomed on Natalie's face. “There's no need for me to do so. Since the mental hospital
contacted me, they'll undoubtedly do the same with Shane. Thus, he'll definitely learn of it after getting
off the plane.”
“Ah, I see.” Lina merely nodded without saying anything further.
Shortly after, they arrived back at the villa.
Natalie and Lina alighted from the car and walked into the villa. The housekeeper had already prepared dinner.
Sitting down in the dining room, they started eating.
Halfway through the meal, Natalie received a video call from Shane.
Seeing that, Lina hurriedly took some food before picking up her bowl and scurrying away.
In her own words, she didn't want to eat with Natalie. Otherwise, she would again be treated to a front-
row seat of their public displays of affection and lose her appetite.
Natalie stared at her back, torn between amusement and exasperation. Shaking her head, she
answered the video call.
As soon as the call was connected, the man's handsome countenance appeared on the screen.
Smiling, Natalie asked, “Have you had dinner, Darling?”
“Nope. I'll be eating in a while,” Shane admitted, casting a glance at his watch.
Although there wasn't much difference in the time zone between them, there was still an hour's
difference. As such, it wasn't surprising that he hadn't had dinner yet.
“I already know about Jasmine,” Shane started. Natalie had expected him to speak of that, so she flashed him a faint smile. “To be honest, I was rather
surprised when I heard about it. After all, the fact that she had now only gone crazy after being locked
up in there for such a long time is a testament to her strong willpower.”

placidly.
In response, Natalie inclined her head a fraction. “You're right.”
“I heard that you're planning to continue supporting her?” Shane looked right at her.
Natalie grunted in acquiescence. “Yeah. Since she's a lunatic now, I plan to have her stay there forever.
I can't possibly allow her to come out and harm others, right?”
At the end of the day, no one could predict the threat a person with mental illness would pose to
society.
At that, Shane nodded. “We'll go with your plan, then.”
It's not like we can't afford that pittance anyway.
“Thank you for your support, Darling.” A wealth of warmth suffused Natalie when she heard that, and
she couldn't help acting coquettish.
At her enticement, Shane's gaze darkened, and his Adam's apple inexorably bobbed. Even his voice
grew hoarse. “Ahem, that's enough. Let's not talk about that anymore. Go ahead and have dinner first.” He didn't plan on continuing that line of conversation with her.
Otherwise, the desire blazing within him wouldn't abate.
“Okay, I'll have dinner first, then. We'll talk further tomorrow.” Natalie bobbed her head.
Shane murmured in acknowledgment before ending the video call.
Putting down her phone, Natalie sent Lina a text that the video call had concluded and she could return
to the dining room.
A few seconds later, Lina came back with her bowl in hand.
She pulled her chair out and sat down. Pinning her gaze on Natalie, she queried, “You're done talking
with Mr. Thompson?”
“Yes. That's why I called you back,” Natalie replied with a smile.
“Gosh, I really regret coming over to stay with you as I'm treated to public displays of affection daily. If
this continues, I truly won't be able to bear it anymore.” Lina propped a hand against her forehead while
putting on an exaggerated expression.
Natalie poured her a glass of red wine. “All right, don't take it to heart. Just treat me to displays of
affection in return when you've gotten together with Bryan in the future, okay?”
“That's a good idea!” Taking the glass of red wine from her, Lina snickered. After clinking glasses, they continued eating.
