When Natalie raised her head, looked at the surveillance camera, and smiled, Shane knew
that she had found out.
Connor gaped in surprise. “Mommy is amazing! She even figured this out!”
“How did she give birth to you if she's not?” Shane placed his hand on his son's head as
he ruffled gently.
Connor proudly puffed his chest when he heard that. “You're right, Daddy. I won't be this
smart if it wasn't for you and Mommy!”
With that, Shane smiled and asked, “All right. Are you hungry?”
The two children didn't really eat much on the plane, so they might be hungry now.
Hearing Shane's question, Connor looked down and rubbed his own belly. “A little bit.”
“Well, get your sister, and let's have some food.” Shane stopped ruffling Connor's hair
after saying that before the little boy jumped off the couch.
“I'll get her!”
He then ran out of the room with his two short legs.
After that, Shane pulled out his cell phone and dialed Silas' number, telling him to buy
some food for the kids.

Silas was now arranging the bodyguard's living arrangement, and he had just finished
what he was doing when the phone call came in. That was why he had the time to buy the
food.
Half an hour had passed after he bought the food.
The children were now eating while watching the huge screen in front of them, and Connor
immediately stood up when he noticed Natalie packing her stuff.
“Daddy. It's time for Mommy to rest.”
Shane was feeding his daughter, and he raised his head when he heard that. Indeed, it
was as Connor said, and he gave Silas a look.
Silas instantly understood and stood up. “I understand, Mr. Thompson. I'll bring Mrs.
Thompson here.”
“Go ahead,” Shane replied after he hummed in acknowledgment, and Silas walked out.
However, Shane stopped Silas just when the latter took two steps forward, and Silas
turned, asking, “Are there any other orders, Mr. Thompson?”
Shane had just finished feeding his daughter. He then said, “Don't tell her Anders is here
when you see her.”
Silas adjusted his glasses and smiled. “Don't worry, Mr. Thompson. I understand. I won't
let her know.”
“Okay. Go on, then.” Shane nodded in satisfaction with that.
This time, Silas successfully left the lounge without delays.
Soon, he arrived outside the competition room, and he saw both Natalie and Lina standing
at the door.
Natalie waited because if Shane were the one looking at her through the surveillance
camera, then he would surely send someone over to lead her to where he was since she
wouldn't know which lounge they would be in.
Sure enough, Silas appeared after a few minutes.
Lina quickly pulled Natalie's wrist and gave her a thumbs up. “Nat, you're really
something. You really guessed it right. Mr. Thompson was really the one looking at you
through the surveillance camera.”
Natalie broke into a smile. “All right. Let's go,” and the both of them walked toward Silas.
Silas greeted the duo when he saw them. “Mrs. Thompson, Ms. Cohen. Mr. Thompson has
ordered me to bring the both of you over.”

Silas made a gesture and led both of them to where he came from.
After a while, they soon reached a room, and Silas pointed at the door and said, “Mrs.
Thompson. Mr. Thompson and the children are inside.”
“Okay.” Natalie nodded and was about to knock on the door, but before she could, the
door opened from the inside.
It was Shane as he held both the children's hands in each of his hands, and the three of
them looked at her with a smile on their faces.
Natalie's heart melted when she saw them, and with a skip, she leaped into the man's
embrace.
The man never thought Natalie would take the initiative. He immediately let go of the
children's hands as he hugged her, gently patting her back. His voice was so gentle that
she felt like she would drown in them. “What's wrong? Did you miss me that much?”
In reply, Natalie rested her head on his shoulder and uttered, “Yeah. I've really missed
you.”
They video-called each other every day, but she still couldn't hide her excitement when
she saw him, and she immediately hugged him.
