“What are you talking about?” Natalie blushed instantly and shot Joyce a fierce glare.
“I’m just trying to help you out here, Nat!” Joyce leaned in closer to Natalie’s ear and whispered, “I have asked Mr. Shane about it earlier. He said he’s willing to marry you, no matter how many times you reject him. More importantly, he likes your kids too! He’s a great man, Nat! You should think about it! The kids will need a father figure, you know?”
Joyce then left the house while Natalie shook her head and smiled helplessly.
She does make a good point, though… The kids will need a father figure in life…
Natalie then turned around to face Shane as she asked, “Mr. Shane, are you serious about being with me?”
“I have no reason to lie about these sort of things,” Shane said with a serious look in his eyes.
Natalie held her hands in front of her chest and looked like she wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat.
Shane stood up and walked up to her. “I know it can be hard to believe what I told you today morning, but I hope you’ll at least give me a chance to prove my words. Will you do that for me?”
Natalie had always liked him to begin with, so she no longer had any reason to refuse his advances after hearing that. “Okay…”
Maybe this isn’t a bad idea after all… If we really do end up together, I’ll tell him the truth about the kids. If things don’t work out, I could just leave with the kids at any time.
Shane wasn’t sure what Natalie was thinking about, but he knew better than to question why she seemed to have loosened up a lot.
“Mrs. Wilson has made us dinner. Come on, let’s head over to my place,” he said while checking his watch.
