Chapter 719

Chapter 719Shane didn't shake Natalie off, halting his steps.
At that, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. “Shane, I know you don't want to talk about our problem
right now, and that's okay. We'll talk another time. This time, let's talk about something else. I sent you
a text message this morning, saying that I want to tell you a secret. I initially wanted to tell you the
secret on your birthday as your birthday gift, but I now can't wait anymore.”
Speaking of that, she inhaled deeply to suppress the anxiety within her. While staring right at him, she
slowly murmured, “This secret is about the kids' background. In truth, they're actually your biological
children.”
All at once, Shane's eyes narrowed.
They are my biological children? That's impossible!
Glimpsing the shock in his eyes, Natalie hung her head. “I'm really sorry that I've been keeping you in
the dark. It was because I was afraid you'd fight me for custody. I was going to tell you after we got
married, but I just couldn't find an opportune time. So, I decided to tell you about it on your birthday. I
never expected...”
“Do you think I'll believe your words?” Shane coldly cut her off before she had finished speaking.
Taken aback, Natalie looked up at him. When she saw the derision in his eyes, her eyes widened in
disbelief. “What do you mean by that, Shane? Do you think I'm lying to you?”
“Are you not?” Shane shook her hand off.
The woman immediately shook her head in denial. “Of course not! I'm telling you the truth! They're
really your children. On that night five years ago...”“That's enough. I know full well whether they're my children. Do you think I've never had a paternity test
done?” The contempt in Shane's eyes intensified.
Hearing that, Natalie was entirely stumped. “You had a paternity test done? When was that? Why didn't
I know about it?”
“I was suspicious of Connor's relationship with me when I first met him, so I had Silas obtain his blood
sample for a paternity test. The results indicated that we aren't related by blood.”
“That's impossible!” Natalie protested loudly.
I've only ever been with him. And how could Connor not be his child when they're both so similar in
looks?
“It's entirely possible because I did a paternity test twice. Both times, the results indicated otherwise,”
Shane asserted, pursing his lips.
Natalie, however, went as pale as a sheet. She shook her head fervently. “N-No, that's impossible.
You're lying to me.”
Whose child can be Connor if not his? Could it be that the man that night wasn't him? No, that can't be
it! The security footage proves that it was indeed him that night!
“Shane, could it be that you've been duped?” Natalie exclaimed emotionally. “Connor and Sharon are
really your children. How about we do another paternity test?”
“No need. The results will be the same no matter how many times a paternity test is done.” Shane
regarded her coldly. “I don't know why you keep insisting they're my children, but the truth remains that
they're not. You're making yourself appear despicable and odious by insisting otherwise.”Upon hearing that, Natalie felt as though she had been struck by a bolt of lightning. Trembling, she
almost toppled over.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookI'm despicable and odious? I'm telling him Connor and Sharon are his children. How is that despicable
and odious?
She stared at him in stark anguish.
However, the man ignored her and promptly descended the stairs.
“Where are you going, Shane?” Natalie grabbed the banister and looked down at his figure.
Alas, the man neither stopped nor answered her, his figure disappearing from her line of sight in a blink
of an eye.
“Mommy.” Connor's childish voice sounded from behind her.
Hastily dashing off her tears, Natalie then turned around and forced a smile. “What's wrong, Baby?”
“I overheard your entire conversation with Dad... No, I mean, Mr. Shane.” Connor toddled over.
Catching the sudden change of address, Natalie's heart jolted. “You overheard the entire
conversation?”
“Yes.” The boy nodded in affirmation. “Mr. Shane is right. Sharon and I aren't his children. Actually, it
wasn't just him who had suspicions when he first met me. I suspected that he might be my father as
well when I first met him.”
