“Yeah. His flight’s tonight.” Natalie put her phone down. “I’m kind of thirsty.”
With a chuckle, Shane reached for the bedside and took the glass of warm water he had prepared long ago. “Here you go. I poured you a glass while you were on the phone.”
Even though he left early every morning, the man was well aware of Natalie’s habit of drinking a glass of warm water the first thing after waking up. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He would usually place the glass by her bedside before leaving, but if he were in a rush, he would then ask Mrs. Wilson to serve it when the woman went downstairs.
For the past three months, Shane had also instructed the overseas villa’s housekeeper to do the same.
“Thanks, Darling.” Natalie beamed as she saw the glass of water Shane had brought over.
The man caressed her hair. “Drink up.”
“Okay.” With a nod, Natalie placed the glass over her lips and tilted it.
It took her just a few gulps to finish the water.
Shane’s gaze darkened as he eyed the woman’s moist lips. Then, he grabbed the back of her head and gave her a kiss.
Natalie froze in shock before pushing him away. “What’s with you? I haven’t even brushed my teeth!”
“Doesn’t matter,” replied Shane as he lowered his head once more.
Natalie shoved him again. “Aren’t you afraid of my morning breath?”
“I don’t mind it.” Shane’s lips curled into a smirk.
Natalie didn’t know how to react for a moment. “Well, since you don’t mind, why should I?”
Right after saying that, she pulled onto his necktie, dragged him toward her, and kissed him.
Shane froze briefly. Never had he expected the woman to take charge like this. On top of that, she was being so… feral.
But still, he liked it.
Thus, the man placed his hand on the back of her head again, regaining control over her. He then pinned her down on the bed as they locked lips passionately.
After some time, a knock sounded at the door, interrupting the two.
Natalie pushed Shane away and adjusted her nightgown bashfully.
She was glad that someone had come knocking right at that moment. Otherwise, she and Shane probably would have already moved on to even more intimate acts by now.
The woman didn’t hate it; rather, the wound on her belly was still in the process of healing, so there were certain activities she still couldn’t do.
In truth, Shane had no intention of going any further, for he also knew that he wasn’t allowed to. That was why he only had only thought of giving the woman a nibble.
Yet, someone just had to ruin their moment.
Shane glared at the door, wondering which imbecile had decided to bother him.
Natalie rolled her eyes at him and gave him a nudge. “That’s enough. Go and get the door.”
Shane stood up, adjusting his necktie and suit before striding toward the door.
Standing right at the entrance were the two little rascals—Connor and Sharon.
They both looked up at Shane while holding each other’s hands. “Good morning, Daddy!”
“Morning!” Shane nodded warmly, cheering up as soon as he saw the kids.
“Is Mommy not awake yet?” Connor stared into the room.
Shane beckoned them in. “She’s up.”
The children’s eyes lit up as they ran past the man and into the room. “We want to see her!”
Shane gazed at the two tiny figures, his eyes filled with affection.
Half an hour later, the family of four headed downstairs hand in hand. Breakfast had already been prepared.
After the meal, they all left home. Natalie headed out to work in her own car, whereas Shane brought the two kids to the kickboxing hall.
Connor was going to attend kickboxing classes while Sharon accompanied him.
Shane initially wanted the girl to learn kickboxing too. That way, she could protect herself.
Sadly, Sharon was so delicate and afraid of pain that she had quit right after the first day of classes, and there was nothing Shane could do about that.
If she didn’t want to learn kickboxing, so be it. He would protect her as her father. Besides, they had bodyguards too.
What mattered most was his daughter’s happiness and wellbeing.
After dropping the kids off at the kickboxing hall and having a few bodyguards watch over the vicinity, Shane headed to work.
