CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 85

Then, she closed her eyes, sunk back into the chair and slept.

When Shane heard her steady breathing beside him, he was momentarily stunned.

Has she fallen asleep?

He glanced at Natalie, who was hugging her arms and curling up into a ball on the chair. Massaging his temples, he pressed the in-flight call button.

An air stewardess walked over and asked, “Hello, sir. How may I help you?”

“Please bring me a blanket,” said Shane softly.

“Okay.” She replied with a gentle smile before bringing a blanket to him.

Shane unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up and walked over to Natalie. After lowering his head and gazing at her for a few seconds, he suddenly squatted down and reclined her chair.

Initially curled up into a ball, she gradually straightened her body as she lay flat on the chair.

Shane then unfolded the blanket and placed it over her. He gently tucked aside the stray strands of hair falling onto her face.

Staring at her fair and exquisite face, his lips twitched as his eyes gleamed.

A short moment later, he suddenly stretched his hand out to touch her face.

The feeling of her smooth skin against his palm jolted him back to his senses. After realizing what he had done, a grim expression crossed his face as he quickly withdrew his hand. He stood up and

returned to his seat, his brows furrowed.

I must be crazy!

Not only did I do all these excessive things, but I even touched her face.

Clenching his fists, Shane stared at the clouds outside the window solemnly.

After a few hours, Natalie yawned and sat up, stretching her body. When she saw the blanket on her body fall onto the ground, she was stunned. It was then that she realized something and glanced over at Shane.

There was a laptop placed on the folding table. With his head lowered as he typed on the keyboard, he looked extremely serious.

Blushing, Natalie picked up the blanket and asked, “Mr. Shane, were you the one who gave me the blanket?”

Shane’s fingers instinctively paused for a brief moment. However, he regained his composure in the next second and replied indifferently, “No. The air stewardess did it.”

Natalie felt embarrassed upon hearing that.

I thought that it was him.

But it isn’t surprising either. There’s nothing going on between us, so he has no reason to take care of me.

Despite that, she still felt a little disappointed.

However, she did not think too much on it. She folded the blanket, placed it aside and headed to the washroom.

When she returned, Shane had already kept his laptop. He glanced at his watch and said, “Prepare yourself. We’re going to land soon.”

“Okay,” replied Natalie as she started to pack her items.

After alighting the plane, Shane walked in front of her and left first. Natalie stared at his back with a conflicted expression. However, a look of relief soon flashed across her eyes.

Since she did not plan on letting him know that her children were his, she would just treat him in the usual manner as before.

If she tried to evade him, it might arouse his suspicion.

After thinking it through, Natalie patted her cheeks and felt much more relaxed.

Although Shane could obviously notice her change in attitude, he did not ask her what had happened.

Upon reaching the hotel, Natalie placed her luggage down, took out her phone and video-called Joyce. She wanted to have a chat with the kids.

As it was just late evening over there, she was not worried that they had fallen asleep.

“Mommy!” called the children sweetly as their faces appeared on the screen.

Listening to their adorable voices, Natalie felt overwhelmed by cuteness. How can they be so cute?

“My darlings, are you obedient when staying with Aunt Joyce?” asked Natalie as she lay on her bed. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sharon nodded. “We are! She even praised us just now.”

“Really? What about your brother?” Natalie turned her gaze to Connor.

Pouting, he complained, “Aunt Joyce scolded me!”

“Huh?” Natalie was surprised. “Why did she scold you?”

“I know!” Sharon raised up her hand, eager to answer. “When he broke Aunt Joyce’s vase, she told him not to pick the shards up with his bare hands because he might get cut. However, he refused to listen.”

I see.

“Then, you deserved to be scolded!” Natalie nodded in agreement.
