“Just a while ago,” Natalie answered with a smile.
Suddenly, a hand came out of nowhere and snatched the phone away.
She stared at her son in surprise. “What are you doing, Connor?”
“I want to have a word with Mr. Shane, Mommy.” With that said, Connor held the phone to his ear and said coldly, “Mr. Shane, stay away from my Mommy from now on. She almost got in trouble again today and it’s all because of you.”
“What?” Shane exclaimed as he got up from his chair.
He couldn’t even be bothered to care that Connor had told him to stay away from Natalie. All he could think about at that moment was how she had almost gotten into trouble again.
Did Natalie go through something like what happened last night again?
“Mommy was almost crushed to death by an elevator today, Mr. Shane. It happened because of you. Even though the culprit isn’t Jasmine, it’s still some other woman who likes you. She was jealous that Mommy was being too close to you, so she tried to get Mommy killed.” The boy had a dark expression on his face as he spoke.
I do like Mr. Shane, but he can never be compared to my Mommy.
For her safety, I must never let him get near Mommy again.
“Connor…” Natalie was moved to see her son protect her like this.
It took a moment before Shane snapped back to his senses after hearing the news. His lips twitched and he felt a lump in his throat as he said, “I didn’t know what had happened in the morning. I’ll be there right away.”
“No, don’t come. We don’t want to see you,” Connor immediately stopped him. “If you come, the person who’s secretly watching Mommy might see you. Then when that happens, she’s going suffer again.”
Upon hearing that, Shane’s hand tightened around the car keys he was holding but he loosened his grip forlornly eventually. “Alright, I won’t. But you have to tell me if your Mommy is really okay.”
The boy glanced at his mother and she gave him an encouraging nod.
Then, he pursed his lips before answering, “Mommy’s fine. Grandma saved her just in time.”
“That’s great.” Shane finally relaxed but a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes the next second. “I’ll take responsibility for these two incidents, Connor,” he said icily.
“I hope so,” Connor snorted. He then ended the call and passed the phone to Natalie.
