Shawn looked at the smile on Natalie’s face with tenderness in his eyes.

Yes, she’s right. My beauty standards are high, and the woman I’m in love with is special.

Shawn said carefully, “I don’t want you to misunderstand the relationship between me and her.”

Natalie cracked her neck and rubbed her shoulders in exhaustion. She said, “I didn’t misunderstand. I’m just disgusted with her. I’m too lazy to entertain her antics.”

I’ve been pretending all day long. She might not be tired, but I am!

Shawn pursed his lips and kept quiet.

He found himself falling harder for Natalie as he looked at her.

All of a sudden, the outstanding ladies of prominent families were boring to Shawn compared to Natalie.

How great would it be if I could spend the rest of my life with her?

As the sun sank, Natalie had no idea that Shawn had already promised himself to look after her forever.

Shawn sent Natalie home after they left the restaurant.

These days, Xavian was away from home. He attended the summer camp organized by the kindergarten which would last five days and four nights.

Initially, the boy refused to go because he thought it was too childish and boring, but Natalie persuaded him. She wanted him to have a normal childhood just like any other five-year-old boy despite his intelligence.

Due to his mother’s insistence, Xavian had no choice but to pack his bags obediently and leave.

The elevator door slid open when it reached the floor where Natalie was staying.

Just as she was fishing for the keys in her pocket, she saw two familiar young children squatting beside the door.

The two kids looked up at her in unison when they heard footsteps.

As soon as they saw her, their huge eyes lit up with joy.

Natalie was completely shocked, as she did not expect them to be here.

“Franklin, Sophia… Why are you two here?”

Sophia could not speak, so Franklin spoke on their behalf. “We were just walking around, and we ended up here. You came back right after we arrived.”

Franklin tried to sound as casual as possible.

He did not want Natalie to know that he and his sister had gone through a lot of trouble just to find her address. They had sneaked out after school, came all the way to Natalie’s place, and waited for her for more than two hours.

Trying to keep all these a secret, Franklin acted cool.

Sophia, on the other hand, did not bother at all.

She hugged Natalie and said with a soft voice, “I miss…”

Natalie’s heart melted when she heard Sophia’s adorable voice. “Did you miss me?”

Sophia blinked and nodded profusely.

“Well, since you guys are already here, why don’t you guys come in and rest?” Natalie opened the door and let them in.

She filled two mugs with water and gave them to Franklin and Sophia.

Probably tired from all the waiting, the two of them gulped down the water in one go.

Natalie propped her chin in her palm and looked at the two adorable children.

They must really like me a lot. Or else, why are they willing to wait outside my door for such a long time without any complaints?

Although Natalie was quite taken aback by Sophia and Franklin’s devotion, she liked them a lot as well.

The mutual feeling of affection was warm and sweet.

“Take it easy. We have a lot of water.”

Franklin and Sophia slowed down after Natalie spoke.

Natalie already had dinner with Shawn at the restaurant, but she could tell that the two kids were starving at that point.

Knowing that her cooking skills were not the best, she simply took out her phone to order some burgers and fried chicken.

While waiting for the food to arrive, Natalie asked Franklin, “Now can you tell me if Gavin and the others know you’re here?”

Franklin avoided Natalie’s eyes and looked up at the ceiling. “They know.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Natalie pursed her lips. “All right. Give me your phone for a moment.”

“Natalie, a nice woman should never check a man’s phone,” said Franklin matter-of-factly.

“Nice men shouldn’t keep secrets in their phone either.” Natalie smiled faintly and reached out her hand. “Be a good boy and show it to me.”

Initially, Franklin wanted to resist.

However, his strong will disappeared easily in the face of Natalie.

In the end, he took his phone out and handed it to Natalie. “There you go.”

Natalie took the phone and noticed it was switched off.

Once she turned it back on, countless text messages popped up instantly. The phone began vibrating non-stop.

She tapped the screen to read the messages.

Where are you? Answer my calls! Stop messing around! I’m old, and my heart can’t take this! If you guys don’t show up, your father is going to kill me!

As Natalie was swiping through the desperate messages from Steven, a phone call suddenly came in.

The caller was Steven.

Franklin glanced at Steven’s name on the screen and muttered, “Can you not answer it? Once he knows we’re here, he’ll definitely take us home.”

“We can discuss that later.” Natalie stroked Franklin’s hair. “However, it’s your fault for not letting them know where you are. He’s really worried. Have you ever thought about that? Have you guys ever considered his feelings?”

Franklin and Sophia exchanged glances and lowered their heads guiltily.

Natalie answered the phone.

As soon as she answered the call, she heard Steven’s excited voice. “Kid! You finally answered my call!”

Ignoring Steven’s agitation, Natalie said calmly, “I’m Natalie. Franklin and Sophia are right beside me.”
