“What! H-He’s their biological father?” Yulia was shocked to her core.
“Yes.” Natalie nodded.
After recomposing herself, Yulia asked, “What happened?”
“I guess we could call this fate?” Natalie recounted everything that happened between Shane and her five years ago.
It took Yulia a while to process the whole story. “So you only found out about this two months ago?”
“Yes,” came Natalie’s soft reply.
Yulia sighed in resignation. “After going through so much, it’s still Shane in the end, huh.”
Who would have expected the man Natalie had a one-night stand with would reappear into her life five years later. This really is the work of fate.
“Mom, does that mean you’re no longer against our relationship?”
Yulia pursed her lips. “What’s the point of objecting now? You even have his children. He’s probably all you think about now. Anyway, have you told Shane about this?”
“Not yet.” Natalie shook her head.
Yulia rubbed her temples wearily. “Why not? Since both of you have gotten together, he’ll be delighted to hear this.”
“I know… but I couldn’t find the right time to break it to him.” Natalie stroked the back of her neck embarrassingly. “I’m planning to surprise him with this news during his birthday next month.”
“Whatever. As long as you’re happy.” Yulia waved her hands dismissively. “Alright, I need to rest now. Ask Shane to join us for dinner tonight. Since he’s your boyfriend now, this is the least I should do as your mother.”
