Shane nodded gently in acknowledgement.
Natalie opened the lunch box and looked at the scrumptious dishes. She squinted and asked, “Is this from the Imperial Gourmet Restaurant?
“Mm-Hmm. It tastes really good. Besides, they provided many different dishes. The two kids love it.” Shane placed his hands on the seat.
Natalie glanced at the two children.
Imperial Gourmet Restaurant was a world famous restaurant. It was well-known for its unique dishes. How could they not love it?
“By the way, how much was it? I’ll pay you.”
As she spoke, she started to dig in her purse.
Meanwhile, Shane’s facial expression turned cold instantly. “No need. It was just a meal.”
She doesn’t want to owe me anything.
Natalie noticed the displeasure in his tone. She paused and lifted her gaze to look at him. She suddenly understood something when she saw his handsome face became dark.
It was just a meal. It clearly meant nothing to Shane. However, the way Natalie hurriedly pay him back the money was undoubtedly a humiliation to him.
At the thought of that, Natalie dropped the idea of giving him money. She quickly put her purse back into her bag and said, “Alright, then. Thanks Mr. Shane for treating us a meal.”
As expected, Shane expression instantly became much more pleasant. “It’s nothing. Hurry up and eat. Your food is getting cold.”
He then passed the fork to her.
“Thank you.” Natalie accepted it with a smile and started eating.
At that moment, Shane phone rang suddenly.
He frowned slightly and took out his phone. After seeing the caller ID, he picked up without hesitation. “Jacqueline.”
Natalie’s eyelashes fluttered a little when she heard that name. Then, she slowly stopped chewing.
Connor noticed that Natalie was a little strange. He blinked and was about to show his concern.
Natalie put her finger up, gesturing for him and Sharon to keep quiet. At the same time, she pointed at Shane with the other finger to let them know that he was talking over the phone and signaled them not to speak.
