Chapter 112
Meanwhile, Sharon, who was savoring a lollipop, nodded and said, “Connor is right, Mommy!”
Natalie was touched beyond words due to the protective nature of the kids.
She was grateful Shane had bestowed her the greatest blessings—Sharon and Connor.
As she thought about it, she cradled their head firmly in her arms and pinched their cheek in a playful
manner, causing them to giggle.
“Mommy, you have an incoming call,” Connor nudged as he heard the buzzing sound from her
mother’s pocket.
Natalie stopped fooling around with the kids as she picked up the call and greeted, “Mom?”
Yulia’s gentle voice could be heard from the other end of the call, asking in concern, “Nat, do you have
a minute to spare?”
“Yes, Mom. I have just picked up Sharon and Connor from the kindergarten. Hey kids, come greet your
grandmother.” Natalie handed over the phone to the kids.
Sharon and Connor leaned over and greeted Yulia enthusiastically, giving her the best time of her life
because she had been missing them a lot.
A few minutes later, she retrieved her phone and asked, “What did you want to tell me, Mom?”
Yulia stopped chuckling. Instead, she replied with disgust, “It’s not a big deal, but Harrison got in touch
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith me last night.”
“What is it about, Mom?”
It had been seven years since they got in touch with one another. She was certain her father was up to
no good for approaching her mother out of the blue.
Yulia scoffed, “He wants me to bring you away from J City. He said you’re embarrassing him by trying
to seduce Jasmine’s fiancé.”
“Mom, I didn’t!”
“I have faith in my daughter and I’m pretty sure he has been misrepresenting the facts again.
Therefore, I have turned him down without a second thought. I’m pretty sure Harrison can’t get Jasmine
a great fiancé either.”
“Mom, you’re wrong because Jasmine’s fiancé is Shane.” Natalie’s lips twitched unwittingly when she
heard her mother’s mean remarks.
“Jasmine, are you talking about Shane from the Thompson family?”
“Yes, Mom.”
Suddenly, Yulia slammed the tabletop with all her might, giving Jared, who was in the ward, the shock
of his life. “How did he become Jasmine’s fiancé when he’s supposed to be your fiancé?”
“Mom, why am I not aware of the arrangement Shane’s grandfather has made? Since when has such
an arrangement been made? You have never told me about it!”
The confused Natalie pursed her lips. If it weren’t because Mr. Blackwood had brought it up during the
conference, she wouldn’t have any idea of the presence of such an arrangement.
Yulia fell silent for a few seconds after she heard her daughter’s query. Heaving a long sigh, she
decided to tell her the truth. “Back then, his grandfather passed out when he was out on the streets. I
was the one to discover him and rush him to the hospital. After he regained consciousness, he
promised me he would get his grandson to marry my daughter. That was the reason why you’re
supposed to be Shane’s fiancée. However...”
Fastening her grip as she held on to her phone, Natalie asked, “What is it?”
“Before I could tell you about the arrangement, I had filed for divorce with Harrison. Initially, I wanted to
bring you and your brother to seek protection from Shane, but someone from the Thompson family
stopped us and told us they would never acknowledge and honor the agreement. Thus, I didn’t bring it
up in front of you.”
Natalie muttered to herself, “I see...” Truth be told, her mind was all over the place. She seemed to be
slightly disappointed. It didn’t feel great at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had never once thought of the possibility of Shane being her fiancé. If she had been aware of the
arrangement, perhaps Jasmine wouldn’t get to win him over and be by his side.
Nevertheless, it didn’t seem to be a great idea after all because Shane had a thing for another woman
back in the day. In short, she wouldn’t get to live a blissful life with him if they were in a relationship
back then. Eventually, the arrangement would be void due to his relationship with another woman.
Fate seemed to have worked wonders because they got the chance to spend their time by their
respective loved ones’ sides. He wouldn’t have to void the arrangement while she got to stay by her
beloved children’s side.
As she thought about it, she smiled and cast a gentle gaze at the kids. Although the kids were clueless
about the reason behind her smile, they played along and returned the favor, grinning in return.
Finally, Natalie moved on from the topic and told her mother about the misfortunes that had befallen
Smith Group.
Yulia was thrilled when she heard of the entire incident and deemed it to be Harrison’s karma for being
such a jerk.
Giggling, Natalie covered her mouth, but she couldn’t bring herself to tell Yulia that Connor was the one
who had brought upon Harrison’s misfortunes.
Few days later, Natalie heard words about the incident and found out the Smith family seemed to have
resolved the crisis.
