“Me?” Connor tilted his head and whispered with pouted lips, “Here’s another one that is gonna say that I am Mr. Shane’s son!”
Natalie was pouring a glass of water for Shane. When she heard her son’s words, she instantly froze in place.
She suddenly felt that she should not have brought Connor here. Anybody who was acquainted with Shane would definitely be surprised and suspicious at the sight of Connor. If there were just a few people, she could still explain that Connor was not Shane’s son but not when more people had seen her son.
After all, not everyone would believe her. If someone got suspicious and decided to run a DNA test for the two of them, she would be in trouble.
Shane saw that Natalie was spacing out, but he did not think much about it and assumed something was bothering her. So he asked her out of concern, “Are you alright?”
Natalie came to her senses and nodded. “I’m fine. Connor, come over here.”
She beckoned Connor over with a wave. When he came to her, she shielded him from Sam’s line of sight.
Now that Sam was out of sight, he could only look at Shane and Natalie. It took him some time before he gulped and stammered, “S-Shane, does that child belong to the two of you?”
“How is this any of your business?” Shane looked up at him frostily.
This sounded like an admission to Sam, who was so surprised that he took two steps back. “How is it possible that you have a child? You have already…”
At this point, Sam suddenly realized that he had a slip of the tongue and immediately shut up as a look of panic flashed across his eyes.
However, it was too late as Shane and Natalie had both heard him.
Shane narrowed his eyes and glared at him. “What do you mean? I have already what?”
“N-Nothing. Shane, let’s talk about the land another time. I’ll make a move first,” Sam said before turning around and practically fleeing away as if something was chasing after him.
Natalie shifted her gaze to Shane who looked like he was in deep thought. “Mr. Shane…”
“I’m fine. I’m just trying to figure out what his last sentence meant.” Shane pinched his leg slightly.
Natalie patted Connor’s head and muttered, “Is he trying to insinuate that there is something wrong with your health, and therefore… But that doesn’t make sense!”
