Natalie suddenly realized that she was indeed thirsty after Shane reminded her.
No wonder my voice sounded like that. It's only natural for my throat to become dry and
hoarse after not drinking water for an extended period of time.
She relaxed, rubbing her brows before asking, “Darling, can you let me know what's the
time now?”
Shane got up, walking toward the bed as he looked at his wristwatch. “It's eight o'clock
now.”
“Eight o'clock?” Natalie was stunned. “Eight o'clock in the morning?”
Wait. That can't be right. Shane kept me awake all night, and I only fell asleep when the
sky turned bright. I dreamed of many things while sleeping so I don't think I slept for one
or two hours only.
Shane stood beside the bed, staring at Natalie's dumbfounded expression. He chuckled
lightly, guessing the thoughts in her mind. “It's eight o'clock at night,” Shane gently
reminded Natalie.

o'clock at night? Darling, do you mean that I've slept through a day and a night?”
That's impossible!
However, the truth was the truth. Shane nodded his head slightly. “Yes. You've slept
through a day and a night. If it wasn't for the fact that I know you are exhausted, and
that's why you are asleep for so long, I would think that maybe you are sick.”
With that, he sat on the bedside, caressing Natalie's forehead.
Natalie pushed his hand away angrily. She sneered. “Who are you to say that? You're the
reason I've slept for so long.”
Noticing how frustrated she was, Shane coughed once to cover his guilt. “I'm sorry.”
Natalie reached her arms out, wanting Shane to pull her up. “Yes. You should be!”
Shane grabbed her hands, pulling her up from the bed. He stuffed a pillow behind her
back, allowing Natalie to lean against it so that she could feel more comfortable.
Even though he cared for Natalie meticulously, Natalie still gave him a long face. “I've
never slept for so long before. Lina is going to mock me now! Also, I feel humiliated before
the kids.” She covered her face, seemingly in a state of despair.
Shane pulled her hands away. “Let Lina be. Besides, you don't need to feel embarrassed
before the kids.”
“Why not?” Natalie glared at him. “Sharon doesn't know the truth so it's okay. But, Connor
knows what's going on. As his parents, we...”
“Don't worry. I told you that won't happen.” Shane tidied up Natalie's messed-up hair. His
voice was tender when he said, “I've sent the kids away.”
“What?” Natalie was at a loss for words. Then, her expression dropped as she stared at
Shane, questioning agitatedly, “Sent them away? Don't scare me like that, Darling. What
do you mean by that? Did you give them to someone else?”
Her body trembled and went cold as she thought of this possibility.
Shane looked at her terrified face, chuckling. “What are you thinking?”
He poked Natalie's forehead gently. “They are my kids too. Why would I give them to

Hearing that, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief while patting her chest. “Luckily you didn't!
Luckily...”
As she had just woke up, Natalie was naked with only a blanket covering her body.
However, when she heard that Shane had sent her kids away, Natalie got agitated, and
the blanket slipped down from her body, revealing her fair shoulders and collarbone.
Not only that, her action also exposed her soft breasts.
Shane watched Natalie pat her chest, causing her breasts to shake. His eyes darkened as
he gulped at the scene before him.
Fortunately, he knew Natalie had just woken up from her slumber after a night of passion-
filled intimacy and that her body hadn't recovered yet. No matter how much he wanted to
make her his now, he wouldn't act in such a beastly manner.
Shane coughed, putting the thoughts away. He calmed down, voicing in a suppressed
tone. “Don't worry. They are our kids. As their dad, I won't ever send them away. I will
never disappoint you.”
