Chapter 464


    At this, Sharon blinked as though seeking confirmation.


    Thus, Connor nodded solemnly.


    Meanwhile, Natalie stifled a smile behind her hand.


    Sure enough, it takes a kid to handle another kid best!


    Sharon finally believed Connor, and her eyes drooped in disappointment.


    At longst, Connor dropped his hand from her mouth. “Let''s go. I''ve got a lollipop in the room, and I''ll


    give it to you.”


    “Yay!” Sharon pped her tiny hands exuberantly.


    The two children then went to their rooms hand in hand.


    When silence again reigned in the living room, Natalie turned and looked at Shane. “Mr. Shane...”


    “You''re still calling me Mr. Shane?” Quirking an eyebrow, Shane stared at her with a half-smile ying


    on his lips.


    Choking, Natalie instantly realized that it was indeed rather inappropriate for her to be addressing him


    as Mr. Shane since she was now dating him.


    That''s too distant and doesn''t sound as though we''re lovers. But how should I address him, then?


    Biting her lip, Natalie mulled it over for some time. Then, she inhaled deeply and mustered all her


    courage to murmur out a single word tentatively. “Shane?”


    In response, Shane gently murmured an acknowledgment in assent.


    Natalie giggled. “So, I''ll address you thus henceforth, yeah?”


    “Sure.” Shane nodded.


    At this, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. She was just about to say something when the doorbell rang


    out of the blue.


    Hence, she went over to open the door after pointing at the entrance hall.


    As soon as the door was opened, she was greeted by Ss, who was standing outside while grinning


    from ear to ear. “Ms. Smith, I''m here to look for Mr. Shane. Mrs. Wilson said that he''s here?”


    As he spoke, he cast his gaze beyond Natalie.


    Natalie then twisted her body sideways and allowed him entry. “Come on in. Shane is in the living


    room.”


    “Sure!” Ss replied. He had just taken a step into the house when he realized that something was off.


    All at once, his eyes bugged. “What did you just call Mr. Shane a moment ago, Ms. Smith?”


    If my hearing didn''t fail me, she called him Shane?


    Natalie, on the other hand, had long since expected that others would be surprised at her new address


    of Shane. Thus, she merely answered smilingly, “Shane.”


    Ha! I knew it!


    Swallowing, Ss inquired, “You''re now dating Mr. Shane, Ms. Smith?”


    In reply, Natalie nodded slightly before handing him a pair of slippers.


    After Ss had changed into the slippers, he followed her to the living room in a daze.


    “I''ll leave you two to talk. I''m going to brew some tea in the kitchen.” After Natalie said that, she pivoted


    and headed to the kitchen.


    The very moment she left, Ss swiftly trotted over to the sofa and congratted the man who was


    sitting on the sofa. “Congrattions, Mr. Shane! You''ve finally managed to win Ms. Smith over!”


    This congrattory remark sent a wave of gratification sweeping across Shane. Nevertheless, he still


    maintained an impassioned expression outwardly and murmured cidly, “Go and get a month''s bonus


    from the finance department yourself.”


    Ss'' eyes lit up at once. “Thank you, Mr. Shane!”


    After acknowledging it with a tilt of his chin, he went back to business. “Why did you suddenlye


    and look for me?”


    “It''s about Mr. Thompson''s will.” Speaking of this, Ss promptly schooled his expression into a nk


    mask, and his demeanor turned solemn. “I found Mr. Thompson''s assistant back when he was alive


    and asked about the will''s whereabouts, but he has no inkling about it.”


    However, Shane wasn''t the slightest bit surprised upon hearing this. Rather, he adjusted his position


    unhurriedly. “It''s not surprising that he has no inkling of its whereabouts, for if he did, Sean would''ve


    long since gotten his hands on it.”


    “That''s true.” Ss nodded in agreement. “I also asked him a few other questions, but he couldn''t


    answer any of them. However, he told me to convey a message to you, which he imed Mr.


    Thompson left for you before his death.”


    “What is it?” Shane''s eyes narrowed.


    Taking a breath, Ss slowly murmured, “The assistant urged you not to look for the will if Sean


    Thompson doesn''t cross the line or harbor any avarice toward Thompson Group and the Thompson


    family.”


    “What does that mean?” Shane''s hands clenched into fists. “Is there something in the will that can bring


    him down?”

    “That''s the most likely possibility. Otherwise, there''s no reason Mr. Thompson would leave such a


    message for you. Besides, it''s clear as day that Sean Thompson knows the content of the will, hence


    doing everything in his power to get his hands on it so that he can destroy it. By doing so, he would


    have nothing to fear anymore,” Ss postted as he nudged his sses.


    Shane''s eyes narrowed into slits, and he coldly snorted. “In that case, I must find the will! I want to see


    just what exactly is in there!”
