The words Shane said the previous night had genuinely hurt her.
The man did not even want to see her. As a result, she did not have the chance to tell him about the identity of the
two children.
“Damn! He's taking it out on the children. Why's he acting as such! It's ridiculous!” Joyce scowled in dissatisfaction.
Natalie put down the towel. “His attitude did a sudden one-eighty yesterday. Even until now, it still feels so unreal.”
“Nat...” Joyce looked at her worriedly.
However, Natalie shook her head. “I'm fine. I just feel a little tired. I still don't know how long he'll ignore me for
though.”
“What are you afraid of? Just talk things out with him,” replied Joyce.
However, Natalie smiled bitterly. “It's not that easy. I already thought of doing that yesterday. I tried to talk to him
twice, but he refused to say anything. That's why I feel so tired.”
She then looked up at the ceiling.
A frown appeared on her friend's face as she chided, “I really don't know why he's keeping all this in his heart. It'll

“Yeah. But if he doesn't want to talk, what can I do?” Natalie shrugged.
Joyce then looked her in the eye and said, “Find a chance to talk to him again.”
“Yeah,” Natalie replied, nodding absentmindedly.
That's the only way. I'll talk to him tonight. We can't keep going on like this, after all.
After contemplating, Natalie took out her phone and sent Shane a message. She texted: Let's talk tonight, Shane.
We'll talk through any issues we have, okay?
She hesitated before she sent another text: Also, I want to tell you a secret tonight. It's very important.
After she sent out both texts, Natalie stared at her phone, waiting anxiously for the man's reply.
However, no reply came, even after a very long time. As a result, Natalie's heart sank.
She had no idea if he did not see the message or was busy.
He's probably busy.
She subconsciously found an excuse for him before putting down her phone.
Maybe when he's done with work later, he'll reply to me.
She sighed and smiled bitterly to herself.
Meanwhile, at Thompson Group, Shane sat at his desk with his phone in his hand. His eyes were fixated on the two
text messages from Natalie.
Secret? What kind of secret?
He frowned slightly, feeling doubtful. However, he did not bother replying to her messages.
Suddenly, a knock on the door of his office sounded.
He locked his phone and said, “Come in.”
Silas entered upon hearing his instruction. “Mr. Shane, I have news about Sean.”
“You found him?” Shane asked, narrowing his eyes.
However, his assistant shook his head. “Unfortunately, no. But there's something strange.”
“What?” Shane asked as he stared at him.
Silas pushed his glasses up the ridge of his nose and replied, “It's about the number. It should be a new one Sean
bought. I found out that other than contacting madam, he also contacted someone else.”
“Who?”

Shane was stunned by that answer. “Jacqueline?”
“Yes.”
Shane pressed his lips together and asked, “Why would he contact Jacqueline of all people?”
“I don't know. Why don't you ask her, Mr. Shane?” suggested Silas.
For a few seconds after that, Shane was silent. Then, he rubbed his temples and replied, “Understood. I'll ask her
when I get home. You can leave.”
“Understood,” Silas replied before he turned to leave.
Leaning back against his chair, Shane stared at the ceiling, exhausted.
After a while, he suddenly stood up and took his coat before leaving the office. Then, he drove off from Thompson
Group and headed for the Thompson residence.
At that moment, Sam and Catherine were watching TV. The butler suddenly walked in and said, “Sir, madam, Shane
is here.”
The couple immediately exchanged glances with each other. “Why is he here?”
Sam shook his head. “I don't know. Let him in first.”
