Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409 Be A Responsible Mother

Hearing her response, Natalie turned the doorknob and entered her office. “Joyce, what are you doing?”

“Oh, I’m arranging the files. What is it, Nat?” Joyce lifted her head. Natalie strode over to her. “It’s nothing important. Do you know that everyone’s talking about you outside?”

“Huh? Talking about me?” Joyce halted in her tracks, confused. “Why are they talking about me?”

Natalie chuckled. “Because you are no longer single!” “How did they know?” Joyce blinked in shock.

Natalie got herself a chair and sat down. “Well, it’s pretty obvious. You spent the entire morning giggling while you talked and chatted on the phone. Everyone knows you have a boyfriend by now. So, how does it feel to date Justin? You don’t seem as averse to it as you did yesterday.”

She observed Joyce carefully.

Pushing the files away, Joyce poured a cup of coffee for Natalie. “I don’t feel as averse to it as I felt yesterday, but it doesn’t mean that I’ve accepted him entirely. Justin knows I need some time to change my mind, so he didn’t act all intimate with me when we chat. He’s thoughtful enough to consider my feelings and chat about topics that I’m interested in. That was why I laughed.”

Natalie responded, “Oh, I see. If a man loves you wholeheartedly and goes along with you, you should treat him fairly. Don’t make him take the lead all the time. At times, you should take the initiative, too.”

Joyce nodded. “I know. I’ll do my best to forget about Stanley and develop feelings for Justin.”

“I’m glad to hear that. How are you feeling nowadays?” Natalie’s gaze landed on her belly.

Joyce caressed her belly gently. “Not good. I’m having morning sickness more frequently and I’m suffering a lot. I had no idea that getting pregnant is this difficult. However, whenever I imagine having a child that calls me ‘Mommy,’ I think it’s tolerable.”

“I’m glad you think that way. You were the one who wanted to keep the child, so you’re responsible for it. You can’t regret it just because you suffered during your pregnancy. Honestly, I was afraid you’d think that way since many new moms ended up aborting their babies as they couldn’t make it past the first trimester.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not that type of person,” Joyce assured her cheerfully.

Natalie hummed in response. Her gaze fell on the files that Joyce was arranging. “When are these reports from?”

“From the past two months. I’m keeping those worth keeping and destroying those that aren’t,” Joyce explained as she patted the files on her table.

Natalie nodded. “Right. The new year is about to come soon, so we’ll need an inventory count.”

“Yeah. I’m doing it right now as I happened to be free.” Joyce’s lips curved.

Natalie stretched herself and said, “All right. I’ll leave you to it and go back to my office, then.”

“Bye!” Joyce waved goodbye to her.

Natalie turned and returned to her office.

For the next two days, she spent her time in the company, the hospital, and the Thompson villa. Soon, it was time for her to leave the country to be the judge for the competition.

In the airport, Natalie held her luggage as she glanced at Shane and her kids. “Darling, I’m leaving now. Please take good care of Connor and Sharon. Remember to send me photos of Anders, too.”

“Got it.” Shane nodded. He reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “I’ll bring the kids to visit you once every week.”

“Mm.” Natalie bobbed her head.

She turned to Joyce and said, “I’ll leave the company in your hands.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the company,” Joyce declared as she patted her chest.

Natalie chuckled. “I trust you.”

It was soon time for her to board the plane.

Natalie glanced at the PA system before turning to look at Shane and the kids. Reluctantly, she said, “I need to board the plane now.”
