Shane listened to the woman's candid words, his gaze imbued with tenderness. “I've
missed you too, every moment of every day.”
Natalie lifted her head, looking up at him with a smile.
Lowering his head, Shane pressed his forehead against hers, and they looked into each
other's eyes.
Beside them, the two children, Lina, and Silas averted their gazes, as did the bodyguards
who were present.
They really could not bear to watch.
Whenever they saw the lovey-dovey couple, their hearts would spill with envy.
Even those who had girlfriends or were married could not help but feel bitter whenever
they witnessed the loving relationship between the sweet couple, let alone those who
were single.
Therefore, to avoid the pain, they had to look away.
As the crowd turned their gazes away, Natalie eventually began to sense the shift in the
atmosphere around them.
Lifting her head, she turned over to look at the others only to see that they had all turned

their backs toward them.
Her cheeks instantly flushed in embarrassment as she could guess why they were acting
that way.
Naturally, Shane also knew what they were thinking, though he did not believe it was
anything to be embarrassed about as Natalie did.
I was merely leaning my forehead against my wife's. What's wrong with that? If these
people can't bear to watch, they can only blame themselves for not having a wife or not
having their wives by their sides.
“That's enough, Darling. Let me go now,” said Natalie as she pushed the man's shoulder
lightly.
However, the man caressed her soft waist as he responded, “Well, it was you who hugged
me first.”
Natalie rolled her eyes at him. “So what? Just let me go now, would you?”
Without saying anything else, Shane finally let go of her waist obediently.
Once she regained her freedom, Natalie cleared her throat and lowered her head to look
at the two children.
Connor's eyes were closed, and at the same time, he had reached out to cover Sharon's
eyes as well.
Natalie could not help but feel amused at the sight of them.
“Sharon, Connor.” She squatted down, caressing their heads.
Feeling her touch, Connor opened his eyes and removed his hand from his sister's eyes.
The two children looked at Natalie, their eyes brightening as they greeted, “Mommy!”
“Hey.” Natalie smiled as the two children threw themselves into her arms.
Hugging them tightly, Natalie held their heads, stroking the back of their heads gently.
“My little darlings, how I've missed you both.”
“Mommy, we missed you too,” the children responded in unison as they leaned against
her chest.
Natalie kissed their foreheads and temporarily released the children. “Here, let me see if
you've lost weight.”
“We haven't.” Connor shook his head. “With Daddy and Mrs. Wilson around, we were well
taken care of and wouldn't have lost any weight.”
“That's right.” Sharon nodded.
Natalie chuckled. “That's good, then. In that case, did you thank Mrs. Wilson for taking

“Of course,” answered Sharon at once. “It was Mrs. Wilson's birthday a few days ago.
Connor and I even prepared a birthday present for her.”
“Is that so? That sounds great,” Natalie said with a smile.
At this moment, Shane squatted down as well, wrapping the mother and two children in
his embrace. “Let's not block the doorway. Why don't we go in first? We can continue
talking inside.”
“Sure, let's go in,” Natalie agreed with a nod. Then, the moment Shane let them go, she
stood up and entered the lounge, holding the children's hands.
Shane followed behind her.
Lina, however, did not follow but stayed outside instead, chatting with Silas.
She knew that since Natalie had just reunited with her husband and children, the family of
four definitely had a lot of catching up to do with each other.
Therefore, she decided not to disturb them while they were at it and that she would simply
enter the room later when they were done.
Natalie understood Lina's intentions as well, which was why she did not comment when
she noticed Lina did not come along with them.
