Chapter 84
Although she had already guessed it before arriving, she could not help being shocked after confirming it. I can’t believe that such a massive mix-up exists in this world.
“Ma’am, are you alright?” When the manager saw her crying, he could not help but ask worriedly.
Natalie shook her head. “I’m fine. Can I make a copy of the CCTV recordings?”
The manager agreed.
She took out her thumb drive and saved a copy of the footage.
Then, she stumbled out of the hotel with her mind in an utter mess.
That night, Natalie did not sleep a wink. She went to the airport the next day, looking exhausted.
When Shane saw her dark circles, he raised his eyebrows.
Is this woman that excited to attend the gathering with the critics?
“Have you gotten your boarding pass?” asked Shane indifferently as he walked toward her.
However, she merely sat on the chair in a daze, giving him no response.
Shane could not help but frown and waved his hand in front of her.
Only then did Natalie return to her senses. After raising her head and glancing at him, she quickly lowered her head and mumbled softly, “You’re here, Mr. Shane...”
“What’s the matter with you?” He narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized her.
It looks like she’s trying to avoid me.
“N-Nothing...” Natalie placed her hands on her lap and clutched her dress tightly. It was evident that she was extremely anxious.
After learning that Shane was her children’s biological father, she could not treat him the same like before anymore.
Shane could tell that Natalie was lying. Pursing his lips, he was about to probe further when an announcement sounded in the airport, interrupting his words.
A grim expression crossed his face as he said, “Let’s go. It’s time to board the plane.”
“Okay.” Natalie nodded hurriedly.
After boarding the plane, she noticed that only she and Shane were in the first-class cabin. Finally realizing that something was amiss, she asked Shane, “Mr. Shane, are there just the two of us here?”
He was flipping through a magazine. When he heard her, he grunted in acknowledgement. “Silas will leave tomorrow.”
“I see.” Natalie bit her lips.
Does this mean that I have to be alone with him for the next few hours?
When Shane glanced to the side and noticed the troubled look on Natalie’s face, a cold gleam appeared in his eyes.
What does she mean by that?
Is she reluctant to be with me?
“Mr. Shane, can I ask you a question?” Natalie, who was oblivious to Shane’s thoughts, suddenly asked after taking a deep breath.
He curtly replied, “Ask away.”
Mustering her courage and gritting her teeth, Natalie asked, “If you discover that you have kids, what would you do?”
When he heard that, he quickly closed the magazine, spun around and looked at her. His brooding eyes cut into hers, as if he were looking into the depths of her soul. “Why are you asking this?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Afraid that he would notice something, Natalie quickly cast her gaze downward to conceal the panic and guilt in her eyes. She tried her best to sound calm. “I’m just curious. I was watching a television show yesterday. The male lead discovered that he has a child, but doesn’t know what he should do. I just want to hear your opinion.”
Shane averted his gaze and replied coldly, “I’ll bring them back to me. My children mustn’t be deserted outside.”
When Natalie heard him, she felt like she had been plunged into despair. Even her body started to tremble lightly.
She could tell that he was being serious. If he discovered that her children were his, he might really snatch them away while she watched on helplessly, unable to stop him.
No way! I must not let this happen. Being Jasmine’s fiancé, he will marry her in the future.
Jasmine already thinks that the children are obstacles to her. I don’t even dare to imagine how she’ll treat them in the future. Hence, the best solution is to prevent Shane from finding out.
With that thought in mind, Natalie glanced at Shane, determined to keep this a secret.
“You’re right. How can you let your children be deserted outside?” She stiffly agreed
