After the server left, Natalie asked with a serious expression, “Where are the hair samples?”

“Here.” The detective took out four ziplock bags from his briefcase and handed them to her.

Natalie took them with both hands. She then noticed that the four ziplock bags were labeled with the names

Jasmine, Harrison, Susan, and Warren respectively. Beaming in satisfaction, she blurted, “Thank you very much!”

“You're welcome. I'm paid to do this, after all.” The detective waved a hand in a dismissive gesture.

When Natalie had put the hair samples away, the server came over with the milk and coffee.

After taking a sip of milk, Natalie queried, “How's Jasmine doing these days?”

“She has been discharged, but her condition isn't too good. She's ruined, and her legs are also crippled.”

As the detective stirred the coffee, he tsked and continued, “Also, the police is already aware that she has been

faking her mental instability and extended her sentence for another two years. Logically speaking, she should be

taken back to prison after being discharged, but for some reason, the police have no plans to do so. Instead, they

seem to be planning to have her stay at the mental hospital.”

However, Natalie wasn't at all surprised upon hearing this since Shane had already told her about it.

What was more, it because he'd negotiated with the police that Jasmine didn't have to return to prison.

But little did anyone know that Jasmine's days in the mental hospital would definitely be far worse than her being in

prison.

“Got it. You don't need to keep an eye on Jasmine anymore. Instead, I want you to investigate Susan Sullivan and

Warren Litch. I want to know the entirety of their past,” Natalie declared as she placed the glass of milk down.

The detective nodded with a smile. “Don't worry. As long as the price is right, everything is possible.”

After saying that, he guzzled down the coffee in a single go. Then, he got up and left.

Conversely, Natalie was in no rush to leave. It was only when she'd finished the milk languidly did she get to her

feet, going over to the cashier to pay before leaving.

At night, they had dinner at Natalie's apartment.

The two children wanted to try out the hot pot, so she bought plenty of ingredients to cook hot pot for them.

Shane came for dinner as well. He'd never had hot pot before, and his striking face was all red from the heat. Not

only that, but his eyes had also turned red.

His reaction made it evident that he seldom ate spicy food.

“Have some water.” Natalie handed him a cup of iced water, her eyes dancing with amusement.

Putting down his fork, Shane took it and gulped down several mouthfuls successively before he finally managed to

take the edge off the fiery spiciness in his mouth.

“Do you feel better now?” Natalie asked while staring at him.

“Yup, much better,” Shane murmured while massaging his temples.

Upon seeing this, Natalie giggled again. Then, she took some vegetables and rinsed them in plain water to wash off

the chili coating them before placing them into his bowl. “Eat this. This isn't spicy.”

Shane's expression instantly turned tender as he looked at the vegetables she took for him. “Okay.”

After dinner, the two children pestered Shane to play Lego with them. Meanwhile, Natalie cleared the table and

went to the kitchen to wash up.

Halfway through, she suddenly heard footsteps from behind her. In the next instance, a pair of arms stretched out

and wrapped around her waist from behind, hugging her.

Natalie stiffened slightly for a second, and her movement slowed, making it glaringly obvious that she was very

much unfamiliar with such an intimate embrace. But surprisingly, she didn't struggle. Instead, she even leaned back

and rested against the man's chest.

At this, Shane tightened his arms around her and hugged her all the tighter. Then, he even rested his chin on her

shoulder. “Silas said that the kiss indicated your agreement to date me, and it turned out that he was right.”

Dipping her eyes, Natalie chuckled softly. “So, you're now hugging me because you wanted to ascertain whether he

was right?”

Nevertheless, Shane merely grunted noncommittally. “I'll give him a bonus tomorrow.”

At his response, Natalie snorted. “He deserves it. If he hadn't reminded you of this, would you not have thought of

it?”

“Perhaps.” Shane nodded honestly.

At this, Natalie glanced over her shoulder and threw him a pouting look.

Her looks were exceedingly beautiful and stunning, so it was simply pure temptation now that she was wearing such

an expression.
