Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 97

His nonchalant tone made Natalie feel somewhat disappointed as she nodded. “Okay. Understood.”

At that time, Shane’s cell phone rang.

Taking out his phone and checking it, he excused himself and rose from his seat to answer the call in a quiet corner.

He returned to the table looking grave after the call ended.

When Natalie saw his expression, she couldn’t help becoming concerned. “Mr. Shane, is there anything wrong? You can go if you have something urgent to attend to.”

“Never mind. I will visit her tomorrow,” Shane lowered his gaze and said softly.

“Her?” Natalie’s curiosity was aroused. “Who?”

“A friend. She’s going for surgery tomorrow.” Shane pulled out the chair and sat down.

Natalie immediately knew who it was. She must be Jacqueline.

He looked so nervous and concerned after answering the call. Stanley was right about him loving her deeply.

Natalie’s twinkling eyes grew dim.

Shane noticed the change in her expression. Just as he was about to ask her what was wrong, he saw the two children running towards them, both drenched in sweat.

Natalie ignored the jealousy within her and hurriedly took out napkins from her purse to dry away their sweat.

After she finished, Shane gave the two children the milk they had ordered earlier.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Connor and Sharon must be thirsty, as they took no time gulping down the milk until their cups became almost empty.

Natalie gently patted their backs. “Drink slowly; be careful not to choke yourselves.”

“Yes, we know.” They mumbled their response without slowing down their drinking.

Bemused, Natalie shook her head.

“Awesome!” After finishing his milk, Connor put down the cup and commented in satisfaction.

Sharon imitated her brother. She looked so adorable with milk stains covering the corners of her mouth.

Looking at her tenderly, Shane took a napkin and wiped away the milk stain on the little girl’s face ever so gently.

His action did not go unnoticed by Natalie. Her mouth twitched as if she wanted to say something, but she stayed silent in the end.

“Mommy,” Connor tugged at Natalie’s hand and made her come back to her senses. “I had so much fun at the amusement park. Can we come again?”

“Sure, I’ll bring you guys here again when I’m free.” Natalie stroked his head and nudged the boy towards Shane. “Shouldn’t you guys be thanking Mr. Shane right now? He is the one who brought you guys here.”

Upon hearing this, the two children expressed their gratitude immediately.

Sharon even motioned at Shane. “Mr. Shane, bend your head down for a little bit.”

“Why?” Shane lowered his gaze and looked at her.

Natalie, too, looked at the little girl in confusion. She had no idea what her daughter was up to.

When Sharon saw Shane staying still, she pouted her tiny lips. “You will know soon, Mr. Shane. Just lower your head.”

Shane did as told.

Sharon stood tip-toed and gave him a peck on the cheek. To everyone’s surprise, she then said, “Connor and I like you very much, Mr. Shane. Can you please marry Mommy and be our real Daddy? That way, no one has to pretend anymore.”

Pft! Natalie spat out her fruit juice.

Shane was stunned, too.

Only Connor’s eyes lit up. “Yeah, Mr. Shane, could you please be our Daddy?”

“That’s enough, you two!” Without waiting for Shane to reply, Natalie quickly stopped her children.

However, the siblings ignored their mother completely and their four little eyeballs continued to stare at Shane hopefully.

“Mr. Shane, are you not willing?” Connor asked.

Shane bit his thin lips. “This is no joking matter.”

“We’re not joking—we’re serious.” Connor tightened his tiny fists and was now looking solemn.

Sharon nodded beside him.

Natalie couldn’t stand it anymore—they were giving her a headache. She pulled the children towards her and bowed apologetically to Shane. “My apologies, Mr. Shane. The kids are just talking a bunch

nonsense. I’m sorry you have to hear that.”

Shane waved his hand. “It’s fine.”
