“Would you like to go home now?” Shane asked.
Natalie hummed in response.
Shane didn't even ask about her chat with Susan as he was uninterested. He merely placed his hand around her
waist and guided her to his car.
“Mr. Shane, Nat, I'm going to give you both some space and head back on my own.”
Shane gave her a “good job” look.
Natalie caught sight of that and chuckled. Then, she fished out her car key from her purse and threw it to Joyce.
“Here, take my car.”
“Thank you.” Joyce caught the key and nodded.
After that, Natalie and Shane got into their car and left.
During their journey back home, Natalie turned and asked, “Was there something important that you wanted to talk
about? Was that why you came to my office?”
“Yes, we're supposed to pay our respect to our ancestors back in Thompson residence today. I came to pick you up
so we can participate in the ceremony,” Shane explained.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie smacked her forehead in realization. “Oh my, you're right! Mrs. Wilson told me about it yesterday, but I
forgot. I'm so sorry, Shane. I—”
“It's okay. Don't sweat about it. It's just a small ceremony, not a big one. So, it doesn't matter even if we don't
attend. Furthermore, I'm here now to pick you up, right?” Shane replied gently.
Natalie tucked her hair and responded, “Thank you.”
“Let's head straight to Thompson residence. Connor and Sharon are already there. Mrs. Wilson and Silas are
looking after them,” Shane continued.
Natalie nodded in acknowledgement.
Soon enough, the couple arrived at Thompson residence.
The kids rushed out to meet them as soon as they heard Shane's car pulling up in the driveway. “Daddy, Mommy,
you're finally here.”
Shane carried Sharon in his arms. “Have you been a good girl?”
“Of course, I have! Mrs. Wilson said not to run around, so I didn't. I've done a good job, haven't I, Daddy?” Sharon
flashed him an adorable toothy smile.
Shane gave her a kiss on her cheek and replied, “Yes, you're the best!”
Sharon chuckled as she clung her hands around Shane's neck.
Sharon had almost recovered from her injuries after so many days. Besides the wounds on her arms, the wounds
on her head had healed entirely, and she was back to her active self.
Sharon's speedy recovery brought so much joy to Natalie.
“All right then. Let's get inside,” Natalie reminded the father-daughter duo as she held Connor's hand.
Shane nodded. “Let's go.”
Then, the family entered the Thompson residence.
Mrs. Wilson and Silas greeted both Natalie and Shane as soon as the couple entered the house.
Shane sat down with Sharon in his arms and asked, “Where is that woman?”
Natalie had also sat down alongside Connor.
She knew that Shane was referring to Catherine.
Even though Sam was caught, Catherine was still around.
Shane did some investigation on his own and knew that Catherine didn't do anything besides having an affair. At
least, she wasn't involved in the assassination of Shane's parents.
Hence, Shane did not put her in a difficult position. He merely trapped her in the Thompson residence and forbade

He planned to let her off after Sam's death.
“She's in her room. I was worried she might harm the kids, so I asked the bodyguard to take her up to her room,”
Mrs. Wilson answered.
Shane nodded. “Thank you.”
“Daddy, shouldn't we pay our respect to Grandpa and Grandma now?” Sharon asked out of a sudden.
“How did you know?” Natalie smoothened her hair.
“Connor told me. He said the ceremony means that one should pay our respect to our ancestors who are no longer
here,” Sharon replied.
“That's right. Let's go then! I'll take you to see Grandpa and Grandma. I believe they'll be happy to see you both!”
“Yay!” The kids jumped off the couch excitedly.
Shane held Natalie's hand as the family headed to the shrine.
It was the first time he brought his wife and children to pay their respects to his parents.
He didn't know that both Connor and Sharon were his children back then. Hence, he only brought Natalie in the
past.
