Chapter 1052

She had just arrived at the clubhouse entrance when she heard the kids yelling excitedly, “Daddy!
Daddy!”

The next thing she knew, they ran past the front gate and threw themselves at Shane, who had just
gotten off the car. He smiled happily when he saw them coming and knelt down to hug them in
response.

“I’ve missed you so much, Daddy!” Sharon shouted while clinging to Shane’s neck.

Connor nodded and chimed in as well, “I’ve missed you too, Daddy.”

Shane gave them both a kiss on the forehead and said, “Well, I’m here now, aren’t I? Where’s
Mommy?”

“Mommy is right there!” Connor pointed in the direction behind him.

Shane looked up and saw Natalie standing atop the stairs of the clubhouse entrance and waving at him
with a smile.

He then held the kids by the hand and made his way up the stairs, keeping his gaze fixated on Natalie
the whole time.

Although they had been video calling each other every day, seeing her through the screen of his phone
simply felt different.

Only by meeting her in person would he be able to see her from head to toe.

Apart from having a big tummy due to her pregnancy, Natalie’s figure remained as stunning as before,
and Shane found himself unable to take his eyes off her even for a second.



In fact, being pregnant actually gave Natalie a unique charm and made her a lot more attractive.

Shane let go of the kids as he stood before her and stretched his arms out to the side. “Aren’t you
going to give your husband a hug?”

“You’re getting better at this!” Natalie said with a chuckle and stepped forward to hug him.

Silas, who happened to be standing nearby, nodded to himself when he heard that.

Yup, I agree! It’s almost as if Mr. Shane has dissociative identity disorder or something! He smiles and
flirts when he’s around his wife but becomes cold and aloof when he isn’t. I guess this is the difference
between family and outsiders, huh?

“It’s gotten bigger,” Shane said all of a sudden after letting go of Natalie.

Natalie stared at him in confusion. “What has?”

Shane lowered his gaze and glanced at her tummy. “Your tummy.”

Natalie shot him an exasperated look. “Of course it has! I’m almost four months along now! It’s a sign
that our baby is developing well. By the way, the baby will start moving at some point during the second
trimester!”

“It’ll move?” Shane arched an eyebrow as if he was shocked by a miracle of nature.

Natalie nodded. “Yeah. I’ll let you know when the baby starts moving, okay?”

He might not be around when that happens, so this is the best I can promise him right now.

Shane nodded. “Sure.”



“Come on in! Dinner’s getting cold!” Natalie said while holding on to his arm, and they all marched back
into the clubhouse.

In order to give Shane and Natalie some time to themselves, Sally invited the kids to sleep in her room
that night.

Shane gave her a look of approval and decided to have Silas reward her later on.

The two of them then had sex before falling asleep in each other’s arms that night.

They were woken up by the sound of someone banging on their door the next morning.

“Nat! Nat!” Sally sounded really agitated as she called out to her from outside the room.

Displeased with her disturbing them so early, Shane frowned with a cold glint in his eyes and decided
to forfeit that reward he had planned on giving her.

“Ugh…” Natalie slowly opened her eyes and asked in a sleepy voice, “Is Sal calling out to me?”

“No, you’re just imagining things. Go back to sleep,” Shane said as he pulled the blanket over her.

Natalie was about to do as told when the knocking was heard once again. “Nat! Hey, Nat!”
