Chapter 838


    Shane, who had been pushed away against his will, was irked; it was written all over his scrunched-up


    face.


    However, Natalie couldn''t be bothered by his reaction. She answered Sharon''s query with her cheeks


    reddened, “W-We''re not really having anything.”


    Sharon had her doubts and probed further, “You''re lying! If you guys weren''t having anything in your


    mouth, why wouldn''t you guys stop moving your lips?”


    Meanwhile, Connor, who was next to his sister, chuckled when he heard her absurd question.


    As a result of Sharon''s question, Natalie was at a loss for words. She didn''t know how to exin things


    to her innocent child.


    In the end, she looked at Shane with her eyes flickering. Subsequently, the man wiped his lips dry and


    announced, “We''re not eating anything, nor do we have anything in our mouths. We''re kissing.”


    “Y-You—” Natalie stuttered with her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn''t believe Shane had blurted


    out the truth to their children.


    Conscious of Natalie''s concerns, Shane leaned over and caressed Sharon''s head. “It''s just like the way


    we express the affection we have for you as your parents. However, only adults are allowed to kiss in


    such a manner, okay? You''re not allowed to repeat after us.”


    The little girl could barely grasp the concept behind it, but she nodded and stuttered, “O-Oh!”


    After Shane brought himself up, Natalie secretly pinched him and reprimanded the man, “Why have


    you brought such things up in front of them?”


    Shane answered with a serious look, “Am I supposed to keep them in the dark? She''s going to annoy


    us until she gets the answer she''s seeking, isn''t she? It''s better to tell her the truth instead of deceiving


    her with something else. Otherwise, things will get increasingly awkward if she asks someone else


    about it.”


    As a result of Shane''s seemingly convincing speech, Natalie was rendered speechless.


    If we continue deceiving them, they''re going to consult others in the future out of curiosity. Maybe they''ll


    get someone else to try it out with them.


    Out of the blue, Sharon asked, “Daddy, does that mean I''m allowed to kiss others in the manner you


    have kissed Mommy once I''m an adult?”


    Natalie choked on her saliva when she heard their daughter''s question.


    On the other hand, Shane''s expression darkened. He asserted in a callous tone, “No!”


    Sharon continued asking with her lips pursed, “Why?”


    “Well, it''s because there are a lot of jerks with ill intentions out there,” Shane warned.


    In return, his daughter asked with her head tilted in confusion, “Are you serious?”

    Shane nodded and repeated, “Yes! Apart from me, your brother is the only man you''re supposed to rely


    on! Stay away from other men in the future! Am I clear?”


    “Okay! I''ll keep that in mind!” Sharon answered with a determined look and her fists clenched.


    Throughout the conversation the father and daughter duo had, Connor continued chuckling in silence.


    Meanwhile, Natalie was unsure if she should be d her daughter had taken Shane''s words seriously


    or not.


    It turned out Shane was worried Sharon would get herself into a rtionship with another man sooner


    than he thought.


    If Sharon gets into a rtionship sooner than he thinks in the future, is he going to suffer a major


    heartbreak?


    Meanwhile, Jessie, who was just around the corner, had her eyes glued to the family of four with her


    lips puckered in irritation.


    Why the heck does Natalie get to live such a blissful life? She''s blessed with talents and a pair of lovely


    children! On top of that, she has a filthy rich husband! Why am I living the exact opposite life of hers?


    Jessie was jealous of Natalie''s achievement. She was determined to get her hands on Shane in the


    near future in spite of herst failed attempt in the past.


    Once she had enough of the family of four, she turned around with a vicious look and marched her way


    back to the hall.


    As soon as Connor turned around, he caught a glimpse of Jessie''s departing figure. Thus, he arched


    his brows in confusion.


    Natalie noticed their son had his eyes on something. She looked in the direction he had his eyes glued


    to but saw nothing. Curious, she asked, “Connor, is everything fine?”


    Shaking his head, Connor replied as he thought it was just another passerby, “It''s fine!”


    With that being said, he had his doubts because he found Jessie''s back familiar. Unfortunately, he


    couldn''t recall the time he had encountered such a mysterious figure.


    In the end, he paid no heed to Jessie and joined his sister and parents in another conversation.


    After ten minutes, Natalie felt that it was about time for her to return to the hall. She lifted Sharon and


    said, “Darling, I need to go. Why don''t you bring them back to the vi for the time being?”


    Sharon wrapped her arms around her mother''s leg and insisted, “No, Mommy! I want to stay here with


    you!”
