Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 27

“He’s just upstairs!” replied Connor before dashing towards the staircase.

When he reached the second floor, he stood outside a private suite. He then mustered his courage and knocked on the door.

Luckily for him, the door was quickly opened. When Jackson stuck his head out and spotted the little boy outside, he blinked in astonishment. “Hey, aren’t you…”

“Hello! I’m looking for that man.” Connor glanced past him and stared at Shane, who was sitting in the suite.

Shane raised his eyebrow. “You’re looking for me?”

“Can you do me a favor?” Connor smiled earnestly.

He stood up and walked over. “What favor?”

“Can you pretend to be our Daddy? We’re playing a game, and we need one more person,” asked Connor as he stared at him eagerly.

Shane was stunned. “Your Daddy?”

He never expected this little child to ask him for such a favor.

“Yes!” Connor nodded vigorously.

Jackson whistled teasingly. “Shane, just go with him. Anyway, didn’t you suspect that…”

“Shut up!” Shane scolded him again.

Turning back to face Connor, his strict voice became gentler. “If I pretend to be your Daddy, won’t you be scared that your real Daddy will find out?”

“I don’t even know where my Daddy is,” mumbled Connor under his breath.

“What did you say?” Shane did not hear him clearly.

“Nothing! Let’s go.” Not giving him a chance to refuse, Connor dragged him down the stairs.

Looking at his excited expression, a complex look flashed across Shane’s eyes.

Normally, he would have detested it if a child acted so boldly. In fact, he would have scolded the child and told him to stop messing around.

However, for some reason, he could not seem to utter those words.

To his surprise, he did not even want to fling his hand away from Connor.

And just like that, Shane was forcefully dragged to the first floor.

“Mommy, I brought Daddy over!” Connor yelled at Natalie from afar.

Upon hearing his voice, Natalie quickly whirled around. When she saw the man whom Connor had brought over, her eyes widened in shock.

“Mr. Shane?”

“It’s you?” Shane had also spotted Natalie.

She nodded awkwardly. “Yeah.”

She never expected his son to bring Shane over as his fake “Daddy.”

“Mommy, you know him?” asked Connor curiously as he glanced at Natalie then back at Shane.

Sharon was also staring at Shane intensely as if she had discovered something shocking. All of a sudden, she pointed at him and exclaimed, “Mommy, he looks like Connor!”

“Darling, stop fooling around.” Natalie quickly pushed Sharon’s arm down and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Shane. They’re too young to understand anything.”

However, Shane was not bothered by what the little girl said to him. Instead, he was intrigued by how the two children addressed Natalie.

“You’re their mother?”

“Yeah.” Natalie stroked her daughter’s hair.

Shane pursed his lips.

This is such a coincidence. She’s actually the sibling’s mother!

“Are you married?” Shane asked.

Natalie cast her gaze downward and mumbled guiltily, “Yes…” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Although she did not want to lie, she had no choice.

Regardless of whether she was back home or overseas, premarital pregnancy was not looked upon so favorably.

Hence, to prevent others from criticizing or treating her children differently, she always claimed that she was married whenever someone asked her this question.

When Shane heard her answer, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. For some reason, he felt a bit upset.

However, before he could figure out why he was feeling that way, Connor suddenly said, “Mommy, it’s time. Let’s bring him over, play the game and win the prize!”

Clapping her hands, Sharon urged as well, “Mommy, hurry up! I want my teddy bear.”

“Just a moment.” Natalie gestured for them to stop. Then, she glanced at Shane and explained, “I’m really sorry that my kids dragged you here, Mr. Shane. I’ll tell you what happened. Previously, we…”
