Chapter 1462

Chapter 1462Lina had returned, and she was sitting on the couch in the living room. She held a child in each arm as
they happily watched an animated film.
Lina let go of the children when she heard Shane coming down the stairs. She turned toward him and
greeted, “Good morning, Mr. Thompson.”

The kids jumped off the couch and rushed toward him. They hugged his legs as they greeted, “Hi,
Daddy.”
“Hey, kids!” Shane smiled and ruffled their hair. “What time did you guys wake up?”
“Some time ago,” Connor answered. “Sharon got hungry, so I brought her down.”
“That's right.” Sharon nodded. “After that, Ms. Cohen got the housekeeper to make us breakfast.”
Upon hearing that, Shane looked at Lina and said, “Thank you.”
Lina waved her hand dismissively. “It's nothing. Don't worry about it. Mr. Thompson, where's Nat? Is
she not coming down yet?”
“No. She's drained, so she's still asleep.” Shane brought the kids to the couch.
When Lina heard Natalie was drained, the smile on her face vanished, and she looked at Shane in a
disgusted manner. “Mr. Thompson, don't you think you're being too much? I know you haven't seen Natin a while, so you guys are eager to have a roll in the hay. However, Nat has work today. Don't you
know how to control yourself?”
“Are you lecturing me?” Shane frowned and looked at her in displeasure.
Lina quickly shook her head. “No! No. I feel bad for Nat, that's all. She's going to be a judge later. What
you did was—”
“The competition in the morning has been postponed.” Shane carried the kids onto the couch and
explained flatly, “Hence, you guys don't have to go there now. Go there in the afternoon instead.”
“Oh, I see.” The corner of Lina's lips twitched. She looked at Shane in an ambiguous way and said, “No
wonder you went all out with her, Mr. Thompson. You had it all planned out!”
Shane furrowed his brows and ignored her.
Right then, Sharon tilted her head and asked innocently, “Daddy, what does it mean to have a roll in the
hay? Also, why is Mommy drained?”
As soon as those words fell, the living room plunged into absolute silence.
Ultimately, Connor realized what was going on, so he put his hand over Sharon's mouth and said,
“Sharon, stop talking.”
“Huh?” Sharon widened her eyes in bafflement. Why is Connor asking me to stop talking?
Seeing that, Lina stifled a laugh. Goodness! These kids are adorable! Shane's expression, on the other hand, had turned grim, and he was glaring at Lina. This is all this
woman's fault. She talks too much. Great! Now the kids are curious. Once they get curious, they'll keep
asking for answers.
When Lina saw Shane glaring at her, she knew she had done something wrong. She immediately
lowered her head guiltily and shied away from his gaze.
Shane couldn't do anything to her, though. After all, she was Natalie's friend.
In the end, Shane had to solve the problem his way.
He carried Sharon toward him and put her on his lap. After that, he lowered his head to look Sharon in
the eyes and said gently, “Mommy is drained because she waited for us for a long time at the airport
yesterday. Besides, she had been working hard. That's why she's still asleep.”
“Is that true?” Sharon blinked.
Shane nodded. “Of course.”
“I can guarantee that's the case,” Connor chimed in.
Sharon smiled. “In that case, Mommy is working too hard.”
Since she was just a child, she believed most of the things adults told her.
Therefore, she believed Shane's words and thought Natalie was tired because she had waited too longat the airport.
That prompted Sharon to feel guilty. “This is all my fault, then. If I didn't vomit, Mommy wouldn't have
had to wait so long.”
Shane felt bad right away when he saw Sharon blaming herself.
