Connor stopped what he was doing and asked, “What’re you doing, Mommy?”
Sharon also looked at Natalie.
Natalie was moved when she saw the concerned faces of her children. “Mommy’s fine. I was just lost in thought. Don’t worry. Go on and play.” She smiled.
Connor studied her face and assumed that nothing terrible had happened. Thus, he dragged Sharon back to the room to play.
Natalie’s eyes were full of affection as she watched them return to the room excitedly.
Forget it. If Shane wants to move back to his unit, then let him be. I’ll have to work around his schedule to avoid bumping into him. After all, I can’t move out just to stay away from him.
Natalie shook her head at that thought. She then changed her shoes and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
A loud sound was heard around dinner time. It was the sound of a wall smashing. It was extremely noisy and it did not stop until the clock struck ten. However, someone rang the doorbell to Natalie’s unit.
She instantly knew it who the mysterious person was.
She got up and walked towards the door. She turned on the intercom and saw a figure displayed on the screen. “Hello, Mr. Shane. What do you need at this hour?” She pursed her lips.
“My apartment has undergone renovations earlier today. I hope the noise didn’t bother you.” Shane knew she was watching through the intercom. He moved slightly to the right, completely exposing himself to the camera.
“It’s alright. It’s not noisy now.” Natalie answered without taking her eyes off him.
Shane’s eyes darkened when he realized she was not going to open the door. “Could you kindly open the door? I have something for you,” he said.
“What is it?” Natalie frowned and still did not intend to open the door.
Shane pursed his lips and replied, “It’s an apology gift for the inconvenience caused.”
An apology gift?
Natalie adjusted the camera angle and noticed that he was holding a delicate gift bag. She raised her eyebrows in surprise. “There’s no need for that, Mr. Shane. I’ve accepted your apology. Please return with your gift. It’s getting late and I’m going to bed. Good night!”
