“What does that mean?” Shane’s face turned grim.

The man then gestured at someone behind Shane.
When Shane turned around, he saw Natalie walking back with a big smile on her face. It seemed that
she had received some good news.
“I have to go, Mr. Shane,” informed Natalie apologetically in front of Shane.
“What is it?”
“I need to go to the airport to pick up someone very important,” answered Natalie after checking her
watch.
“Who?” asked Shane instinctively.
Very important?
Could it be the children’s birth father?
The thought made Shane feel uncomfortable.
Natalie had no idea what he was thinking. She was about to reply when Sean interrupted her gleefully.
“Forget about Mr. Shane, Nat. Just leave.”
“Okay. I’ll be leaving now.” Natalie smiled apologetically at Shane once again before grabbing her
purse and hurried away.After arriving at the airport, Natalie could see a beautiful woman sitting in the waiting hall, so she waved
at her. “Mom, I’m here!”
The woman pulled down her sunglasses the moment she heard Natalie’s voice. Her eyes lit up as she
stood up and hurried out of the hall. “Oh, how I’ve missed you, my Baby Girl!”
“I miss you too, Mom.” Natalie opened her arms, and the two hugged each other tightly.
With eyes full of motherly love, Yulia sized up her daughter. “You’ve gotten skinnier, and don’t get me
started on those dark eye circles. Have you not been getting a lot of rest lately?”
Natalie took her mother’s suitcase. “I’ve been busy with the fashion show for the past few days, so I
didn’t get much rest, but I’ll have two days off starting tomorrow to catch up on sleep.”
“Good!” Yulia nodded.
After walking out of the airport, the two got into a cab and returned to the apartment. Overjoyed to see
their grandmother, the children kept asking her to play with them until Natalie sent them to bed at ten.
“I’m definitely not getting any younger. I’ve only played with the children for a short while, but my back
is already killing me,” complained Yulia as she sat down on the couch with a bitter smile.
Natalie put a cup of tea on the coffee table for Yulia before massaging her mother’s back. “Nonsense!
You’re as young as ever. I bet people think we’re sisters when we stand side by side.”
Yulia chuckled. “Where did you learn to butter your mother up like this?”
Natalie rested her chin on her mother’s shoulder. “I’m not, Mom. I’m just telling you the truth.”
“Okay, Baby Girl. I know better than to argue with you.” Amused by their mother-daughter banter, Yulia
patted her daughter on the shoulder.Natalie suddenly bolted upright when she thought of something. “Oh ya, the present! Wait here, Mom.
Let me go get the present I promised you.”
With that, Natalie dashed to her room and returned with a folder.
Yulia looked at the folder in puzzlement. “What’s inside?”
“Open it.” Natalie handed the folder to her mother.
Under her daughter’s expectant gaze, Yulia opened the folder, and what she saw inside made her jump
to her feet. “Is this true, Baby Girl?”
“One hundred percent!” Natalie nodded.
Yulia slammed the table in satisfaction. “This is such wonderful news! Harrison cheated on me all those
years ago, and now karma has finally come around to bite him in the *ss. Baby Girl, you didn’t tell
Harrison about this yet, did you?”
“Nope,” replied Natalie before popping a grape into her mouth.
Yulia sat back down. “Good! We’ll keep him in the dark for the rest of his life. Only when he’s on his
deathbed will we tell him. Then, he’ll know exactly how I felt back when he betrayed me!”
“Okay, Mom.” Heartbroken for her mother, Natalie embraced Yulia and comforted the hurt woman.
