Shane leaned back on the chair before explaining, “Do you remember you once told me that you're suspecting the

one who kidnapped you and the one who set fire in the warehouse are the same people? Well, I've tried following

this lead, and I found traces that Stanley might have something to do with this. Though it isn't much, he might know

something, but he's hiding it from you.”

“What? No way!” uttered Natalie, her face turning grim.

Hearing her exclaim, Shane narrowed his eyes in discontent. “You don't believe me?”

“It's not like that,” Natalie quickly denied, shaking her head. “It's just a bit shocking.”

“I've already warned you that Stanley is no ordinary person,” uttered Shane before pursing his lips.

His statement left Natalie no room to refute because he did warn her about Stanley right at the beginning.

I was the one who chose not to believe him...

“I can't let this be. I'm going to ask him who's targeting me and why he's helping that person,” Natalie made her

intent known as she rummaged her bag, trying to fish out her phone.

“It's futile.” Shane stopped her by holding her hand. “Even if you ask him, your questions will remain unanswered. If

he really wanted to let you know, he would've already done so. But he didn't, and why do you think that is?”

Natalie opened her mouth, but no words came out. “Because their relationship is out of the ordinary?” she

questioned subconsciously.

Shane leaned back on the chair before explaining, “Do you remember you once told me that you're suspecting the

one who kidnapped you and the one who set fire in the warehouse are the same people? Well, I've tried following

this lead, and I found traces that Stanley might have something to do with this. Though it isn't much, he might know

something, but he's hiding it from you.”

Otherwise, he wouldn't protect that person that much.

Shane's eyes flickered in response. “Perhaps.”

Other than what Natalie's speculating, there's another possible reason too, that Stanley had joined hands with that

person, that's why he's protecting whoever that is. I'm not going to say this, though, lest it makes the already glum

atmosphere even more somber.

Looking at her daughter's concerned expression, Yulia clapped her hands and decided to change the topic. “That's

enough. Let's not discuss this matter anymore. Shane, I actually have another question for you.”

“Ask away,” replied the man as he retracted his hand from Natalie.

Yulia glanced at the couple back and forth. “I've noticed that you've given a ring to Natalie. From that, I'm assuming

that you've proposed, so when is the wedding?”

“Mom!” Natalie yelped in surprise, never expecting her mother to be this blunt. As her face turned a shade redder,

she stole a glance at Shane to see his reaction.

Is he gonna think that Mom's rushing us to get married?

Contrary to her expectation, Shane was not mad. Instead, he seemed to be seriously contemplating Yulia's

question.

After a moment, Shane turned to Natalie, “I'm fine with whenever. What about you?”

Natalie's lips twitched. “I... I don't know.”

Hearing that, Shane instantly frowned, evidently not pleased with her reply.

Natalie was aware that her answer was not what he wanted to hear, but she honestly had no idea.

Yulia was also rendered a bit speechless after hearing her daughter's reply. “I suggest you register your marriage

first and get the certificates. Nat is already living with you, anyway. People will start to gossip if you live together

without marriage certificates. Once you have them, we can go slow with the wedding preparations. What do you

think?”

“That's not a bad idea,” Shane agreed.

I have more time to prepare the perfect wedding after receiving the certificates. Our proposal was too simple, so

this time, I want to give her a grand ceremony.

“What do you say, Nat?” asked Yulia when she noticed that Natalie had remained silent.

Shane, too, turned to stare at her, waiting for her response.

Feeling the gazes on her, Natalie kept looking down before nodding slightly. “It's fine for me too.”

“Well, it's decided then.” Yulia clapped her hands. “You'll register first.”

Shane hummed a reply while Natalie uttered a barely audible “Okay” with another nod.

“Yay! Dad and Mommy are getting married!” Connor cheered as he clapped his hands.
