Shane could not care less that people were watching, but he also knew that Natalie was easily embarrassed. As such, he pulled away from her. Right after that, he took the marriage certificate from her hand.
“What are you doing?” questioned Natalie as her eyes widened.
Instead of replying, Shane fished out his certificate and put both the papers side by side before snapping a picture of them.
When he was done, he did not return the certificate to her. “Let me keep them safe.”
Natalie seemed completely nonplussed. “Sure.”
With that, Shane inserted the certificates into his suit pocket before taking her hand and walking toward their car.
Once they were inside, he turned to Natalie as if he just recalled something. “Ah. Mrs. Wilson said she has a surprise for us.”
“A surprise?” Natalie buckled her seatbelt before asking again, “What kind of surprise?”
“No idea. Guess we’ll find out when we get home.” With that, Shane put the car in gear and started driving.
Nodding in response, Natalie did not inquire any further.
It did not take long before the company came into view as Shane parked the car in front of the building.
“I’ll pick you up later.”
“Okay.” Natalie unbuckled her seatbelt and was ready to leave. But before she hopped off the car, she turned around and, albeit slightly hesitant, placed a kiss on Shane’s face.
“See you later, Darling.”
Shane visibly froze when Natalie addressed him with that endearment term that it took him quite a while to regain his senses.
When he finally snapped out of his trance, he raised his hand, wanting to stop her from leaving, but alas, she had already gotten out of the car and was now running toward the building.
Feeling helpless, Shane put his hand down while staring in the building’s direction.
Nevermind. I’ll make her scream that name tonight.
Bearing that thought in mind, Shane rolled up the window and drove off.
Meanwhile, when Natalie entered the building with a flushed face, an employee saw her and started teasing her, “Why is your face so red, Ms. Smith? Did something good happen?”
Natalie flashed her a shy smile without saying anything.
