Chapter 528

“Hmm?” Shane raised an eyebrow as he waited for her to continue, but Natalie just kept stammering
without saying anything.

Eventually, Mrs. Wilson couldn’t stand it anymore and took the phone over from her. “Let me say it for
you, Ms. Smith.”

Natalie nodded in acknowledgement.

Although she had mustered the courage to give Shane a call, the words were stuck in her throat when he
actually answered the phone.

She was still afraid that he would not want to keep the child if she told him about her pregnancy.

Mrs. Wilson held the phone up to her ear and shouted, “Hello, sir! It’s me!”

Shane pursed his lips slightly. “Yes, I know. What on earth happened?”

“Oh, don’t worry. Nothing bad happened! In fact, I have good news for you!” Mrs. Wilson said with a
chuckle.

Shane narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “Good news?”

“Yeah!” Mrs. Wilson nodded.



“What good news?” Shane asked with a frown.

“The good news is…” Mrs. Wilson deliberately paused for a bit to add some suspense and tension. Upon
noticing how Natalie had her hands tightly clasped from nervousness, she continued, “Ms. Smith is
pregnant!”



“What?” Shane’s eyes widened in surprise.

Natalie is pregnant!

Overwhelmed with excitement, he felt his heart throb a few times and tightened his grip on the phone as
he trembled uncontrollably.

Even his expression looked a little weird as he tried to break into a wide grin but to no avail. His facial
muscles had stiffened due to him only smiling slightly all the time.

Shane went back to looking emotionless as usual after a while, but he could barely contain the
excitement in his voice as he asked, “I-Is she really pregnant?”

“Pretty sure she is!” Mrs. Wilson replied with a smile.

Shane stood up immediately. “Got it. I’ll come home right away!”

He then hung up the phone and summoned Silas to his office.

“Yes, Mr. Shane?” Silas asked as he came in.

Shane grabbed his coat and slung it over his shoulder before walking toward the door. “Drive us back to
the villa!”

“Did something urgent come up?” Silas asked anxiously when he saw Shane in such a hurry.

“Natalie is pregnant,” Shane replied while pushing the button for the elevator.

“Oh, so she’s… Wait, what? She’s pregnant?” Silas was so shocked that his glasses nearly fell off.

“That’s right.” Shane smiled and nodded when he saw how shocked Silas was. Looks like I’m not the
only one who’s freaking out about this!



Silas adjusted his glasses and tried his best to sound calm as he said, “Congratulations, Mr. Shane!”

“I want you to go order us a pair of rings later.”

“Are you planning on proposing to Ms. Smith?” Silas asked when he realized Shane’s intentions.

Shane simply nodded without saying a word.

“Well, yeah, that makes sense… You’d be a total scumbag not to marry her after getting her pregnant,
after all…” Silas mumbled but kept quiet when he noticed the icy-cold glare from Shane.

In less than an hour, they arrived at the villa.

The moment Silas was done parking the car, Shane got out and began walking toward the front door.

Upon entering the living room, he saw Natalie sitting on the sofa and rubbing her tummy, seemingly in a
daze.
