Chapter 1628

Chapter 1628Before he could finish, Natalie put a hand over his mouth. “Don't say that.”
Casting him a serious gaze, she said, “It's not your fault that you didn't contribute in the past. You were
unaware of their existence. If you knew about them, you would've taken care of them even if we didn't
love each other. You'd do that because they're your children. So, you don't have to feel bad for not
raising them in the past. You're amazing. Besides, you took up the responsibility of being their father
once you found out about them.”
Shane's eyes flickered.
Meanwhile, Natalie continued, “Anyway, who says I'm the only one who raised them well? You were
greatly involved in raising them, too.”
“Oh? What did I do?” Shane was intrigued.
Smiling, Natalie said, “You did a lot. See, I'm not as wealthy as you, so I can't give them the best
education. But as soon as you reunited with them, you gave them the best education and living
conditions they could have. Most importantly, you made them realize they have a dad who loves them.
A father plays a crucial role in a child's life. Your appearance has given them the best sense of security,
so how could you say you never contributed?”
Shane smiled. “Well, since you've said that, I guess I'll have no choice but to take credit.” Hearing that,
Natalie patted his chest with a chuckle. “Nonsense.”
Shane instantly grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss. Meanwhile, the children were stunned by their parent's intimacy.
Tugging at Sharon's hand, Connor prompted, “Come on, Sharon. Let's go check on Anders and not
disturb them.”
Sharon nodded fervently. “Yep. Let's go.”
With that, the children left hand in hand.
Natalie could not help but shake her head and laugh while staring at the children's retreating backs.
“We're having dinner soon. Don't stay upstairs for too long,” she called out.
“Okay!” The kids nodded before disappearing up the stairs.
As soon as the children were gone, Shane lifted Natalie's chin. “Shall we continue?”
Natalie's eyes widened in surprise. “Continue?”
“The kids have already given us privacy. Are you going to let their efforts go to waste?” Shane gazed
deeply into her eyes.
Natalie could not resist rolling her eyes. “Stop it. That's not even what they meant. They left only
because they couldn't stand us. It's not like what you said.” “It's all right. You can just pretend it's the other way round,” Shane said with a chuckle.
Amused, Natalie refused, “No. At least not now. Maybe we can continue tonight when we're in our
room.”
Shane's eyes lit up again.
His response made Natalie chuckle. She stood on tiptoes and whispered into his ear, “Didn't I say
earlier you could have anything you want at night?”
With that, she laughed and left the balcony.
Shane reached out, wanting to grab her. However, he gave up on the notion a moment later.
After all, what she said was enough.
If I can have anything I want later tonight, does it mean I can see her wear that kind of clothes?
His eyes glimmered, and the corners of his lips lifted as he left the balcony.
After dinner, Shane handed Anders to Zaylee while Connor and Sharon were taken care of by the
housekeeper. Hence, both Natalie and Shane did not have to worry too much about the children.
Once they were relieved of their duties, Shane led Natalie back to their room.
His eagerness made Natalie feel amused and nervous at the same time. This chapter upload first at NovelEbook.OrgShe knew his excitement meant that she would have a tough time that night.
Regardless, Natalie had no intention of backing down. After all, she had promised to spend time with
him that night.
