Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005Of course, she was the same.
Shane held Natalie in his arms as he planted a kiss on top of her head. “ All right.”
“Mommy, Daddy, you're both kissing again,” a soft voice said, interrupting the couple's romantic
moment.
The couple looked up simultaneously and saw their kids standing by the staircase. They were holding
hands as they watched the couple with a smile on their faces.
Natalie's face instantly went red in embarrassment.
She couldn't get over the fact that her kids witnessed her getting intimate with Shane.
Yet, Shane waved his hand and gestured them to come forward.
“Coming.” The kids descended the stairs happily.
Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, they hurriedly ran toward the sofa and sat between the
couple.
“Daddy, Sharon and I overheard your conversation earlier. Did Grandpa leave something for us?”
Connor asked.
Only Natalie and Jared could call Harrison by his name. As for the kids, they could only address him as
grandpa but not in his presence.
“He left each of you a house.” Shane decided to hide the truth that the house was initially meant for
Natalie. He picked up the two files placed on the table and handed them to Connor.
Connor took it and flipped through the pages.Sharon couldn't understand most of the words, but it didn't stop her from reading them.
“Oh, it's a flat-roof suite in the city center.” Connor raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Shane rubbed Connor's head and said, “I promise I'll get you something better than this for your
birthday.”
“Oh come on, Shane, really?” Natalie teased.
Natalie was actually surprised when she knew that Harrison wanted her to have the flat-roof suite.
The flat-roof suite was located in the heart of the city and consisted of four buildings. Each building
contained two units, while each unit was approximately four hundred square feet and priced at three
hundred thousand per square feet.
Although the flat-roof suite was incomparable to a villa, it was luxurious.
“I'm not jealous. I just want the kids to know that I can give them something even better,” Shane replied
seriously.
Natalie shrugged and said nothing.
Just admit it. You are jealous. You noticed how happy the kids were and didn't want Harrison to
overshadow you. You even made an excuse to cover yourself up.
“All right, now let's keep these files in a safe place, shall we? These will be yours in the future,” Natalie
explained to the kids.
The kids hugged the files to their chest and nodded their heads. They were clearly ecstatic about this
gift.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was two days later.Natalie was in a discussion with Joyce about the collection for the upcoming season in the office when
she received a call from Susan, who was in prison.
Yet, Natalie saw it coming.
She had a feeling that Susan might want to meet her, and she was right.
“I got it. I'll come over at noon,” Natalie said through the line and hung up.
Joyce leaned in and asked, “Hey Nat? Let me guess, was that Susan?”
“Yup.” Natalie nodded.
“What does she want?” Joyce was curious.
Natalie shook her head. “I don't know. I guess I'll have to find out.”
“Well then, why don't I go with you?” Joyce suggested.
“Okay, sure,” Natalie agreed.
Then, Natalie and Joyce headed to the prison at noon.
Once they had registered themselves, the duo went to the reception area.
It didn't take long before Susan arrived with a correctional officer by her side.
However, Susan looked like a completely different person.
Even Joyce was taken back by the drastic change.
Susan was once a beautiful woman with milky white skin and an hourglass-shaped body.Yet, she looked like an old woman in her sixties or seventies now. She had short hair and sunken eyes.
Furthermore, she was as thin as a rake with a yellowish skin tone. She looked nothing like the Susan
they once remembered.
“Nat, what happened to her?” Joyce gulped.Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook
