It was a morning where Natalie was, and she heard her phone ringing the moment she stepped out of the bathroom.
Her lips curled into a smile when she saw who it was, and she quickly answered, “Hi, Darling.”
The man’s handsome face appeared on the screen. “Awake already?”
“I just got up. Why did you call so early in the morning?” Natalie asked as she took off the shower cap and started to comb through her hair.
Shane’s eyes darkened as he stared at her fair neck. His voice became slightly hoarse as he said, “The kids miss you.”
With that said, he handed his phone to his children, who were staring at him in anticipation.
Their faces popped up on the screen together as they shouted, “Mommy!”
Natalie’s heart melted at the sight of them being so excited. “Yes, I’m here.”
“I miss you so much, Mommy,” Sharon said with a pout.
Even though Connor said nothing, it was evident that he was feeling the same as it was written all over his face.
Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes as she said, “I miss the both of you too.”
“I’ll bring them to you during the weekend,” Shane said suddenly.
“The weekend?” she asked dumbfoundedly.
“Yes. I have time this weekend,” he answered.
Natalie wasn’t sure how she should react as she said, “Didn’t we talk about this previously and agree that you’d only come once every fortnight? I’ve only been here for three days!”
“It’s fine. They miss you, and so do I. That’s why we’re going to visit you.” As he spoke, Shane leaned closer to his children and stared at her with loving eyes. Her face flushed red, and after seeing the excited look in her children’s eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse. So she nodded and said, “Alright then.”
“Yay!” Sharon shouted as she raised her hands in celebration.
Connor, too, broke into a grin.
Even Shane could not help but let out a smile.
The family continued to talk for a while before the call finally ended.
“Are you done, Nat? The preliminary round’s starting in half an hour,” Sally suddenly knocked on the door and urged.
