    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 slightlyforted 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 toe 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 hering back again soon was not high.


    As for the housekeepers, they usually clean in the morning or afternoon and wouldn''te 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 woulde 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 hee back to admit defeat to her?


    Natalie stared intently at the peephole,pletely 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 nning 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 topromise 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.


    If he doesn''te back, then he doesn''te back. If he doesn''t want topromise, then let him not


    compromise. At most, I won''tpromise and admit defeat too. Who doesn''t have a temper? Let''s see


    who can oust the other!


    Natalie inhaled deeply, lifted the nket, 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 rtionship.


    She felt sad and uneasy even though it was rtively 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 ident.


    At that time, their silent treatmentsted 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.
