When Natalie returned to the villa, she was pleasantly surprised to see Shane there. “Shane!”
He was sitting on the sofa. He raised his head upon hearing her voice, but he quickly looked back down and did not respond to her.
A disappointed look crept into Natalie’s eyes. However, she forced out a smile and walked over. “Are you moving back?”
“I’m here to get something,” replied Shane nonchalantly.
The glimmer of hope in Natalie disappeared as her heart sank.
Noticing the change in her emotions, the kids’ moods worsened as well.
Sharon was quite scared of Shane’s cold attitude. She did not dare to hug him happily like how she would in the past. Instead, she grabbed Natalie’s hand tightly and stared at him.
Connor followed suit. However, he suddenly asked, “Are you planning to never come back again, Mr. Shane?”
“What did you call me?” Shane’s eyes widened as he looked at him.
Connor blinked. “Mr. Shane.”
When he heard that, he pursed his lips and an unpleasant expression crossed his face.
The children used to call him Mr. Shane in the past. However, now that they had reverted to the old address, it sounded exceptionally unpleasant to him.
In fact, ‘Mr. Shane’ even seemed a little inappropriate given they had distanced themselves from him.
When Natalie noticed that Shane’s mood worsened, she squeezed the children’s hands. “Okay, Connor. Bring your sister upstairs. I’ll… talk to Mr. Shane.”
Since Shane refused to believe that they were his children, they would not call him ‘Daddy’ for now.
They would wait for the DNA test results to be announced first.
“Okay.” Connor nodded and pulled Sharon upstairs. Pursing his lips, Shane gazed at Natalie with an unreadable look.
She actually agreed to let the kids address me differently. What is she trying to do?
