Shane nodded. “That's true.”
He was wrong to think that those were useless junk.
On the contrary, they were great.
It was the first time he had to swallow his words.
“It's great that it's effective. In the future, if you have muscle aches, I'll do it for you. Don't refuse like you did
before.” Natalie laughed as she said that.
Indeed, she had always tried to do cupping for him previously.
Shane had disagreed every time and there was nothing she could do.
This time, she had waited for him to fall asleep.
Fortunately, the results of the cupping were good and he had to admit it.
Shane nodded. “Okay.”
He was agreeable.
He had really accepted this so-called traditional Chinese medicinal technique.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reason was that he had personally experienced it.
However, there was a disadvantage. A red mark was left behind by the cups on the areas treated and it took a few
days to go away.
Shane turned around and looked at the areas under his shoulders where there were purplish-red marks. He could
not help sighing.
These marks looked like bruises, as if he had been beaten up.
Watching him study the marks left behind by the cupping administration, Natalie giggled with her hand covering her
mouth. “You are now a down-to-earth CEO.”
He had always been a high-and-mighty CEO. Today, he had been treated by a common traditional medicinal
technique and admitted to its effectiveness.
“Okay, the water is cold, let's get up first.” Shane turned his head back and stood up holding both sides of the
bathtub.
Natalie mumbled softly, put down the essential oil, and got up.
They rinsed their bodies together under the rainfall showerhead and then came out of the bathroom wearing their
bathrobes.
When they both dried their hair and changed into their daily clothes, they went downstairs. Mrs. Wilson had already
prepared dinner, and both children had already been fetched home by the driver arranged by Shane.
Seeing Natalie, the children's eyes lit up, and then they ran over to her together.
Before they could reach her, the two children were stopped by Shane.
“Dad?” The two children tilted their heads and looked at Shane in confusion, apparently not understanding why he
had stopped them from getting close to Mommy.
Shane naturally understood the questioning expression of the two children. He squatted down and stroked their
heads, saying softly, “You are six years old now, and you have grown a lot taller than before, so your bodies are
also much stronger. If you rush into Mommy's arms directly as before, she will not be able to catch you safely. If
you crash into her like this, you will knock Mommy down. Do you understand?”
“Yes, we do now.” Both children nodded with new understanding.
Then they faced at Natalie and apologized shyly, “We are sorry, Mommy. We didn't mean to harm you.”
In fact, Connor could reason this out but when he suddenly saw that Natalie was back, he was too overwhelmed.

“It's all right.” Natalie smiled at the two kids. “Although you cannot rush into my arms like before, you can still come
and hug Mommy.”
Softly, she tapped the two children's noses.
The children nodded in unison. “Yes, we can.”
“That's it. Put down your schoolbags and let's have dinner.” Natalie withdrew her hands from the children.
The children did as they were told. Leaving their schoolbags on the sofa, they grabbed their parents' hands and
walked into the dining room.
After dinner, Shane did not go into the study to work which was his routine.
Natalie did not go into her own studio to work, either. Instead, they both stayed in the hall to watch cartoons with
the children and enjoy quality time together.
Natalie and Shane had come to an agreement. They could not accompany the children all the time, because both
of them were working. However, the children would not do without bonding time with them so they decided to
make up for it. Each week, on alternate evenings, neither of them would work, instead, they would watch TV with
the two children, play with them, tell them stories or have some other activities.
