Connor grunted indignantly and swiveled his head to the side.
As Natalie wanted to teach him a lesson, she did not coax him and instead started chatting with Sharon.
After a while, Sharon blinked her large eyes and asked, “Mommy, is Mr. Shane there? I want to see him.”
When she heard that, Natalie became silent for a while. “Why do you want to see him?”
“Because I like him!” replied Sharon as she sucked on her thumb.
“Does Connor like him too?”
Connor, who was no longer throwing a tantrum, nodded and replied, “Of course! I admire him a lot too. When I grow up, I want to become like Mr. Shane… No, I want to become an even more exceptional man than him!”
When Natalie saw the excited gleam in their eyes when they talked about Shane, her lips twitched as she fell into a daze.
No one understood her children better than she did. Although they looked extremely cheerful, it took a lot for them to truly acknowledge someone.
Yet, after returning back to the country, they quickly accepted Shane, which surprised her greatly. It was only recently that she realized it was because of their blood relations.
However, as she had already decided not to let them know who their father was, there was no need for them to meet.
Silently apologizing to them in her mind, Natalie smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, darling, but Mr. Shane isn’t here.”
“Huh?” The children exchanged a disappointed look.
Natalie quickly changed the topic of conversation and shifted their attention away from Shane.
After ten minutes, it was time for the children to go to sleep. Hence, Natalie ended the call.
At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Natalie sprang up, wore her slippers and opened the door.
Shane was standing outside with two gift boxes. “These are for you.”
“Are they… gowns?” She took the gift boxes from him and guessed what was inside by looking at the designs at the top.
