Shane poured a hot cup of water for Natalie.
She smiled at him before answering her kids. “I’m alright, just down with a little flu.”
“Do you still feel dizzy?” Shane sat opposite the trio and asked.
Natalie massaged in between her brows. “A little.”
“Then, you’d better get a rest at home. Don’t go into work,” the man said as he crossed his legs.
She sipped on the hot drink and said, “Well, looks like I don’t have any other choice.”
Not only was she feeling dizzy, but the woman felt so drained that it would be near impossible for her to work.
“Right, what were you guys talking about?” Natalie put down the glass in her hand and asked again, “I heard the kids thanking you when I got downstairs. Did you buy them anything?”
“Nothing, nothing.” Before Shane could answer, the twins shook their heads and denied it.
Their odd behavior further convinced Natalie that they had asked for something from Shane.
“Shane, what did they ask you to buy?” Natalie peered at the twins sternly and furrowed her brows as she asked Shane.
He was the twins’ biological father, so it was technically his duty to fulfill their needs.
However, the point was, not one of them was aware of how they were related to each other. It was the reason Natalie was reluctant to let the kids request for anything from Shane. She thought that it was a habit that they should not cultivate.
As if reading what was on Natalie’s mind, Shane parted his lips and said, “They did ask for something from me, but all they’re asking for are some books.”
“Books?” Natalie was taken aback. “What kind of books?”
“Computer science,” Shane lowered his head and looked at the kids.
“Computer science?” Natalie was stumped for a moment and recalled something. She parted her lips to say something, and in the end, she tried to sound Shane out, “Mr. Shane, could it be that you already know about Connor…”
Shane nodded. “Yes, I do. Frankly speaking, I’m stunned, but I’m really glad, actually. Connor is a brilliant boy. Have you ever thought about grooming him to achieve more?”
“How do I do that?” Natalie cocked her head to one side.
Her manner was a clear indication that she had not considered it before.
