Chapter 1045

Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

“Ms. Smith, do you want this or not?” The editor was getting a little impatient as Natalie had yet to take
the box from him.



“I’ll take it!” Connor offered to take the box when he saw no response from her.

“Don’t touch it!” Natalie shouted loudly when she saw him reaching for it.

Shocked by her sudden outburst, Connor looked up at Natalie in confusion. “Mommy?”

Sharon also didn’t understand why Natalie yelled at Connor when he was just helping her receive the
package.



Natalie knew she had hurt her kids by lashing out like that and felt guilty about it, but she didn’t apologize
to them immediately.

Instead, she reached out to take the box from the editor and said, “Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it,” the editor said with a wave before walking off.

Natalie then closed the door and stared at the box in her hands.



It was about the size of her palm, and she could hear something bumping around inside when she gave
it a little shake.



Natalie couldn’t tell what was inside the box, but she wasn’t planning on opening it.

The package from yesterday had a dead cat inside, so this must have something nasty in it as well! It’s
probably a dead rat or something!

Not wanting to scare her kids, Natalie placed the box into her handbag before kneeling down beside her
kids. “I’m sorry for yelling earlier. I didn’t mean to do that, but you two really shouldn’t be taking this box.”



“Why not?” Sharon asked in confusion.

Connor kept quiet and simply stared at Natalie’s handbag, seemingly in deep thought.

Natalie let out a sigh. “Because whatever is inside it isn’t appropriate for children. Someone is pulling a
nasty prank on us.”

“How do you know that, Mommy?” Connor asked.

I was planning on keeping the incident from yesterday a secret, but it looks like I’ll have to tell them about
it now.

With that in mind, Natalie gave him a pat on the head as she said, “Because I’ve already received one
yesterday.”

Oh, so that’s why.

Having understood what was going on, Connor stopped feeling upset about it.

“What was in the package yesterday, Mommy?” he asked.

Not wanting to say it out loud, Natalie took him by the hand and traced the words on his palm.



Connor’s eyes went wide instantly, and his face turned pale from shock when he realized what it was.

Natalie gave him a comforting hug and said, “I wasn’t planning on telling you because I didn’t want to
scare you. However, I have no choice but to do so now that I’ve received another one of those packages
in front of you two today.”

Connor leaned against her shoulder with anger written all over his little face. “Who’s doing this to us,
Mommy?”

Natalie gave him a little pat on the back. “It’s Jacqueline.”

Connor clenched his fists tightly and was trembling all over when he heard that.

“Her!” His eyes were filled with hatred, and he was gritting his teeth as he spat those words out.

Even Sharon began to cry when she heard that name as she recalled the unforgettable trauma
Jacqueline had caused her.

“Mommy…” she cried in fear and threw herself into Natalie’s arms.

Knowing how much she feared Jacqueline, Natalie hugged her tightly and comforted her, “Don’t be
scared, Sharon. Mommy’s here to protect you!”

“Okay!” Sharon nodded in her embrace.

Seeing Sharon in tears gave Connor a flashback of Jacqueline raising her high into the air before
slamming her hard against the ground.

Had we not managed to rescue Sharon in time, she could have died right then and there! I’ll never let
this grudge go for the rest of my life!



Natalie noticed the changes in Connor’s expression and the look in his eyes.

She understood his hatred for Jacqueline, but she didn’t want him to be holding a huge grudge like this
at such a young age.
