Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 33

Jackson knew what he was expected to do. Twirling the key around in a carefree style, he agreed.

After he left, Shane looked at Natalie and offered, “Allow me to send you all back.”

“Thank you. I guess we’ll be troubling Mr. Shane then,” said Natalie as she accepted the offer and smiled politely.

If she were not injured in the first place, she might have rejected his offer.

As her feet could no longer walk, she naturally would not make a fool of herself by bringing her two children to hail a cab.

Shane carried her up just like he had done just now and headed towards the exit of the restaurant.

Meanwhile, the two children walked hand-in-hand behind them. To any by passers, the four of them looked like a real, happy family.

As they exited the restaurant, unbeknownst to them, a man with a camera was hiding behind the bushes just outside. Recognizing Shane, and seeing him carrying a woman as well as getting into a car with two children, the stalker excitedly raised his camera and started snapping away at the scene.

“So, where are we heading?” Shane asked after putting on his safety belt in the car.

“Blue Court Apartments, please,” Natalie mentioned the address of her apartment.

Raising his eyebrows, Shane felt surprised.

Such a coincidence!

He owned an apartment there. Coincidentally, his unit was in the same building as hers. Judging from the lot number of her unit, his was located right opposite hers.

“Anything wrong, Mr. Shane?” Natalie noticed Shane was in a daze and decided to reach out to him.

“I’m okay,” replied Shane as his eyes flickered. He proceeded to start his car.

Sharon fell asleep on Natalie’s lap on the way home, yet Connor was still full of energy. He looked at Shane who was driving and queried, “Mr. Shane, may I ask you a question?”

“Connor, what do you plan to ask Mr. Shane?” asked Natalie curiously.

“Mommy, it’s none of your concern,” Connor replied as he swiped down the hand his mother had placed on his head. Looking at Shane intently, he asked, “May I, Mr. Shane?”

Shane’s interest was piqued and said, “Sure. Just shoot.”

“Allow me to ask then. Are you married, Mr. Shane?” Connor presented his question without any reservation.

Neither Natalie nor Shane expected that he would ask such personal questions, and both were caught off-guard by the little child’s boldness.

Reacting to his question, Natalie quickly patted Connor on his back in a gentle way and said, “Connor, don’t be rude. You shouldn’t ask Mr. Shane such a personal question.”

As she gently reprimanded her son, Natalie glanced at Shane who was driving, and smiled embarrassedly as she apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Shane. He is still young and ignorant.”

“No problem,” Shane assured as he broke into a smile and replied, “To answer your question, I’m not married.”

That’s great!

Beaming with joy, Connor put his two little hands together gingerly and cheered in his heart. Deciding to go further, he asked, “What about a girlfriend, Mr. Shane?” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Connor!” Natalie was aghast at her son’s daring question and exclaimed in a stern tone.

This rascal. Surely he has something up his sleeves.

“Mommy, don’t be angry. I have my reasons,” Connor tried to coax Natalie in a mature way.

Meanwhile, Natalie poked his forehead and sarcastically remarked, “What good reasons a child like you would have?”

Sticking his tongue out playfully, Connor chided, “I won’t tell you for now.”

He had planned his questions to gauge whether Mr. Shane had a family. Depending on his answer, he might dismiss his thought of obtaining Mr. Shane’s DNA.

After all, he had suspected that Mr. Shane was very likely their biological father.

He did not want to acknowledge a biological father who already had his own family.

“You!” Natalie sighed helplessly as she peered intently at her son whom she had brought up since he was born.

Her son was too smart and too mature. As a mother, she felt like she had missed out on some fun in motherhood.

“Mr. Shane, regarding my last question, you haven’t reply to me yet,” Connor pointed out, refusing to give up, thus decided to pursue the matter to its end.

Shane raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror at Natalie nonchalantly before replying, “Nope, I don’t have a girlfriend either.”

Except that he had a fiancée!

Caught by the issue, he suddenly felt desperate enough to want to know what actually happened a few years ago.

Why did Natalie, who was supposed to be his fiancée, ended up being replaced by Jasmine instead?

Also, in the past few meetings, Natalie did not seem to know that he was her fiancé too.

“Okay, Connor, that’s enough for now. I forbid you from asking Mr. Shane any more questions of any sort. Mommy will be really angry if you keep asking,” warned Natalie as she sternly squinted at her son with a death stare.

Realizing he might had crossed the boundary, Connor nodded obediently, “Alright. I won’t ask anymore. Mommy, please don’t be angry.”

Meanwhile, he was rather happy. This is such good news! Mr. Shane is not married and has no girlfriend. I can now proceed to try to confirm whether he is my father or not.
