Curious, Natalie had her eyes fixed on Shane, anticipating his answer.
However, he simply furrowed his brows and shook his head. “Nothing. Other than causing troubles here and there,
Sam and his wife didn't do anything out of line. Although Sean did drug me five years ago, my grandpa had already
passed long before that incident.”
“Huh... That's really weird, then,” commented Natalie.
“It is.” Shane pursed his lips. “I'm also trying hard to find the will because I'm dying to know what they have done.
But Grandpa had hidden the will so well that I still don't have a single clue about its whereabouts to this day.”
“Don't rush. Take your time,” uttered Natalie as she held his arm, comforting him.
Seeing this, Shane's expression softened a bit. “I will. But I must find that will for both of us.”
Sam's the reason I'm infertile now. I can never forgive him for that, so I have to take my revenge no matter what.
Natalie had no idea of the grudge that was buried within Shane. After hearing that he was doing this for the two of
them, warmth surged within her heart.
Soon, they fell into a comfortable silence as they headed toward the villa.

“I feel like something's amiss here...” Natalie pointed toward the villa.
“What's amiss?” asked Shane as he narrowed his eyes quizzically.
“I don't know. It's just... too quiet.”
Usually, all the lights are on, but it's dark and quiet now. It's like no one's inside.
“Could this be Mrs. Wilson's supposed surprise?” Natalie made her guess.

Both Natalie and Shane seemed to be thinking the same thing.
After staring at the villa for a while more, he pulled out the key card and unlocked the door.
“Guess we'll find out once we're inside,” he uttered, putting the key card back.

Shane's expression darkened.
“What's going on, Shane?” asked Natalie since she could not see anything with him pressing her head against his
chest.
“Nothing,” came his nonchalant reply before breaking the hug, allowing Natalie to step out from his hold.
Noticing the glitters on his head and shoulders, Natalie's eyes went round for a moment before she burst into
laughter while covering her mouth.
“What's so funny?” questioned Shane, pursing his lips.
“Nothing. It's just that your response was too exaggerated. It's just confetti, yet you thought it was something
dangerous.” She laughed harder, clutching her stomach.
A hint of anger flashed across Shane's face, but it quickly dissipated. Brushing the confetti off him, he scoffed, “I'll
have Mrs. Wilson clean these later. Let's go in.”
With that, he strolled in and entered the living room, leaving her behind, but Natalie knew that he was embarrassed
for being laughed at.
Wiping off the tears from the corners of her eyes, she followed suit.
However, she had walked too fast, which resulted in her bumping into Shane's back when she reached the living
room and almost lost her footing.
