The kids are here, and it is not right to discuss these matters in front of them.
Sally was smart and deciphered Natalie's message and hint right away. The former giggled amusingly, then nodded
to tell Natalie that she got the message. After that, Sally dropped the topic.
They reached Astoria a few hours later.
Sally got off the plane and stood next to the stairs when she bade Natalie goodbye. “I'll be leaving now, Nat,” said
Sally.
“Okay,” replied Natalie while nodding.
Sally let go of her luggage and took a step forward with her arms open. She wanted to give Natalie a hug.
Shane turned grouchy when he saw that and pulled Natalie aside immediately.
Sally ended up hugging the air. She stared blankly at the grouchy man in front of her and instantly understood that
he was jealous. He wasn't going to let Sally give Natalie a hug.
Sally grinned awkwardly at Shane, then put her arms down before taking a step back.
Shane only let Natalie go when he noted that Sally had received his message.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie grinned exasperatedly at Sally and apologized, “Sorry, Sal. H-he's a little possessive.”
I never knew that he would even be jealous of women hugging me.
Even Silas, who was babysitting the kids, felt embarrassed about that.
A little possessive?
Shane shifted his attention and stared at the woman standing beside him.
So that's how she sees me? As a possessive man?
Despite that thought, Shane never refuted Natalie's words.
Sally smiled, waved at Natalie, and said, “It's fine. That shows that Mr. Shane really cares about you, Nat. That is the
only explanation to why he doesn't like the idea of others getting close to you. I understand where he's coming
from.”
Hearing that got Shane to shoot a look at Sally. His gaze was finally friendlier.
That got Sally to sigh a breath of relief instinctively. She also tapped her chest secretly to calm herself down.
That hostile gaze had finally subsided.
Geez, I was just going to give Nat a friendly hug. Was it really necessary for him to glare at me like that? I could
practically feel his gaze stabbing through me. I'd better flee. The last thing I want is to be the third wheel.
Thinking that got Sally to hold her luggage once more. Using her free hand, she waved at both of them and said,
“It's late, and I should really go, Nat. Bye!”
“Bye!” replied Natalie with a smile. She was waving at Sally as well.
Sally bowed to Shane and thanked him for the air ticket before she turned around and left as quickly as possible.
Shane turned to Natalie after Sally had left. He suggested, “We should go too.”
Natalie murmured an affirmative reply before hugging his arm and walking down the VIP lane with him by her side.
As for Silas... Well, the poor guy was taking care of two kids and followed closely behind.
The airport's employees carried the luggage for everyone and were right behind Silas.
Soon, they reached the hotel.
Shane got a presidential suite, and it was more than enough for the family of four.
It was late at night, but the time difference made everyone feel like it was still daytime.
The kids didn't sleep much on the plane, so they were tired when they reached the hotel.
Natalie urged them to go to bed as well. Everyone had to stay overseas for a few days, so they had no choice but to

The twins were exhausted, so they went to bed without causing a fuss.
Natalie pulled the blanket up for them and kissed both their foreheads before she closed the door slowly.
Shane had already showered and was in the master bedroom when Natalie returned. As he walked to the bed, he
asked, “Are the kids asleep?”
“Yeah,” replied Natalie. She was a little tired as well, so she yawned.
Shane was towel drying his hair when he suggested, “Go take a bath. I've filled the tub for you.”
His sensitive and caring gesture got Natalie's heart all warm and fuzzy. She nodded with a smile and said, “Thank
you, Shane.”
As she spoke, she stepped forward and held his face in place before planting a kiss on his forehead.
Shane's gaze turned wild once more. He carried her up like she was a princess and tilted his head down to look into
her eyes. “Are you seducing me?” asked Shane.
Natalie blushed and shook her head endlessly. She replied, “No, I was just thanking you.”
She didn't think that a simple gesture like that would get him all fired up.
Shane raised his brows. He didn't believe her words, so challenged, “You kissed me just because I filled up the tub
for you?”
