Shane pulled up a chair and let Natalie sit on it.
Only when she had sat down did he pull up another chair from the side and sat down as well.
“Lina told me you were playing with the children outside. That's why I went out to have a look,” said Natalie while
handing him a glass of water.
Making a frown of disapproval, Shane said, “Still, you should've eaten something first. The children and I will worry
if you're ill.”
Strangely, she did not feel angry. Instead, his words sent a warm, fuzzy sensation into her heart.
After all, only a person who was truly worried about someone would say something like that.
If not, he would not be bothered at all.
“Okay, Darling. Don't be angry, all right?” Natalie held his arm and rubbed her head into his shoulders playfully.

He stroked her head. “I'm not angry. Just remember to take care of yourself. That way, we'll worry less.”
“All right. I will.” Natalie nodded seriously.
“Good,” murmured Shane as he leaned in and planted a kiss on her hair.
Just then, the housekeeper came in with some food.
Shane glanced at it briefly, took it, and placed it in front of Natalie. “Here, get something into your stomach first.
Don't eat too much, though. Otherwise, you'll be too full when it's time for lunch.”
“I know. Don't worry.” Natalie smiled and began eating the sandwich.
Meanwhile, Shane watched her from the side with his head propped up.
However, his stares made her uncomfortable, and she gradually slowed down.
In the end, she put down her sandwich and glanced at him. “Uh... Darling, can you turn around? I'm not used to
having you staring at me like this.”
“Since when?” Shane asked, taking a sip of his coffee.
“Since forever. It's rather uncomfortable to have someone staring at me when I'm eating.”
“Oh...” Shane nodded absentmindedly before turning his face away. “Okay. Carry on. I won't look at you.”
Seeing that, Natalie picked up her sandwich and continued eating.
Several moments later, she felt his gaze on her again.
She put down her sandwich and turned to him, saying hesitatingly, “Didn't you promise to not look at me? Why are
you looking at me now?”
“I can't help it!” Shane replied innocently while putting down his coffee cup.
Natalie raised her brow. “Why is that so?”
“You look cute when you're eating. That's why I can't help looking at you,” replied Shane seriously.

This man is becoming less cold and better at sweet-talking now. Ugh. I can't believe I'm blushing just because he
said I look cute when I'm eating. Even my heart's racing.
Amused, Natalie asked, “Where did you learn to say things like that? I never heard you say stuff like this to me in
the past.”
“I didn't learn it from anyone. It's from the heart.” Shane chuckled.
Natalie could not help but laugh. “Looks like you were only pretending to be cold, huh? The real you is a sweet-
talker.”
Smirking, Shane muttered, “I only say sweet things to you.”
“Hmph! I'd get rid of you if you dare say it to someone else.” Natalie glared at him, her fists curled.
Seeing that, Shane nodded. “I won't, so don't you dream of getting rid of me in this lifetime.”
With that, he reached out, pulled her head forward, and planted a kiss on her lips.
