Chapter 1684 Stand By Him
“Nat, what you mean is...”
“Shane wants to have a decisive battle with Sean. Knowing Sean's personality, once he
proposes a fight to the death, one of them will die or at least be half-dead. Shane is
worried that this duel might involve me and our child, so he wants to send us away. He has
already sent Connor and Sharon away. Now, he's waiting for my competition to end before
sending me and Anders away to join them, but I don't want to leave.” Natalie frowned.
Lina said, “Actually, Mr. Thompson is doing all this for your own good.”
“I know.” Natalie bit her lip. “He's worried about me, afraid that something might happen
to me. Nonetheless, I'm not leaving because I'm worried about him too. I've already
experienced once what it's like for him to face Sean alone, and I don't want to go through
that again. I want to be with him and face everything together rather than staying
somewhere and not knowing how he's doing. How would that be any different to when I
gave birth to Anders, not knowing if he was safe or not?” Natalie closed her eyes as she

Lina nodded, “I see. I think I know where your disagreement lies now. He wants to protect
his wife and keep you from being hurt by enemies, so he wants to send you away. On the
other hand, you want to stand by your husband's side, always knowing his whereabouts,
so you are determined to stay. Both of you are doing this for each other, but neither of you
can find a compromise, which is why you're arguing.”
“Nat, what you mean is...”
“Shane wants to have a decisive battle with Sean. Knowing Sean's personality, once he
proposes a fight to the death, one of them will die or at least be half-dead. Shane is
worried that this duel might involve me and our child, so he wants to send us away. He has
already sent Connor and Sharon away. Now, he's waiting for my competition to end before
sending me and Anders away to join them, but I don't want to leave.” Natalie frowned.
Natalie nodded. “That's right.”
Lina sighed. “When other couples argue, it's either about trivial matters or serious issues
like infidelity and domestic violence; when you two fight, it's always for each other's sake,
yet neither of you accepts it. Is this really an argument or just a disguised display of
affection?”
Natalie pursed her red lips, not saying a word.
Lina blinked and said, “I originally came here to help Mr. Thompson persuade you. After
all, he sent you away for your own safety. After hearing what you said, I know I can't
convince you. If I try to make you listen to Mr. Thompson, it's unfair to you, but it's the
same if I do it to Mr. Thompson, too. Both of you are doing this for each other, not for
yourselves. As the mediators, we don't even know how to help you reconcile.”
Natalie forced a smile and said, “Right now, it's as if Shane and I have walked into a dead-
end. If one of us doesn't take a step back, I'm afraid the silent treatment will continue.”
“I see.” Lina nodded. “So, are you willing to take a step back, Nat? Will you listen to Mr.
Thompson and leave here after the competition is over?”
Natalie shook her head. “I've said it before. I can't go through not hearing from him again
and not knowing if he's safe. I won't back down. I can only accept if he does.”
“Well, you're out of luck. You'll just have to continue this silent treatment. If even someone
as gentle as you are unwilling to back down, there's no way Shane would ever give in with
his terrible temper, would ever give in.” Lina shrugged, indicating there was no other
choice.
Natalie closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Lina stuffed the fork back into her hand. “That's enough, Nat. Let's eat first and not think
about these things for now. After all, Mr. Thompson hasn't shown any intention of sending
you away yet, so there will definitely be a turning point later. Eat first. Don't starve
yourself.”
Natalie smiled and hummed in response.
Lina is right. Shane has no intention of sending me away just yet. For the next few days, I
still have a chance to make Shane change his mind and let me stay. That's why I mustn't
give in.
In order to stay and for the upcoming finals, she must eat.
In summary, arguments may happen, she still needed to eat.
Natalie began to dine, and Lina let out a small sigh of relief when she saw her eating.
Now that her good friend was eating, it meant that Lina had completed half of her mission
this time. She could now give a satisfactory response to Shane's inquiries.
