Chapter 949
Shane simply snorted in response while Natalie found herself amused by Sally''s antics.
“Come on, let''s go!” Shane said as he moved his hand from Natalie''s waist to her cheek and turned her
head away from Sally.
“All right, all right. I''ming!” Natalie didn''t know whether tough or cry in response as the four of
them carried on walking.
Due to the difference in time zones, Shane chose not to spend the night there and took a flight back
later that evening.
Since it was also nighttime when he returned to the country, he was able to avoid suffering from jetg.
The two kids were disappointed when they woke up and saw that Shane was gone. However, they
smiled happily again when Natalieforted them and said he woulde over a few dayster.
Suddenly, Natalie''s phone rang on the nightstand, and she answered it happily when she saw Jared''s
name on the caller ID. “Hey, Jared!”
“Hey, Nat! Are you still in Astoria?” he asked gently.
Natalie nodded. “Yeah, I am. Why?”
“My teacher is going to organize a traveling exhibition, and the next stop will be Astoria. I''ll be able to
see you then!” Jared replied.
Natalie was overjoyed. “That''s great! Sharon and Connor will surely be happy when they hear this.
When will you be arriving? I''ll go pick you up!”
“Tomorrow at four in the afternoon,” Jared replied.
Natalie noted the time down in her head. “Got it!”
Mypetition will be over by four, so I''ll have time to go pick him up at the airport.
The two then chatted a little bit longer to catch up before ending the call.
Natalie went to tell her kids about their uncleing over to visit them, and they were really happy as
they hadn''t seen him in a long time.
The three of them yed for quite a while. The kids were very energetic as they had been sleeping
during the day.
Natalie, on the other hand, was really tired and sleepy.

Fortunately for her, Connor eventually told her to get some sleep in her room as he could help look
after Sharon.
As she had always found Connor to be very reliable, Natalie left them and went to bed after blowing her
hair dry.
The next morning, she was woken up by Sally, who said, “Someone called asking for you earlier.”
“Who was it?” Natalie asked with a yawn while leaningzily against the door frame.
“It''s someone from the mental hospital. They said Jessie has been found to be pregnant,” Sally replied.
Natalie''s eyes went wide instantly when she heard that. “What? Jasmine... I mean, Jessie is pregnant?
Who''s the father?”
Sally shook her head. “I don''t know, and I doubt the mental hospital does either. Only Jessie would
know the answer to that.”
“I can''t believe she got pregnant!” Natalie eximed with a frown.
“I know, right? I was shocked too when I first heard about it! The staff from the mental hospital was
asking how we n on handling this. They want to know if we n on letting her out to better care for
her baby, or if they should keep her there,” Sally said.
Natalie pursed her lips. “I''ll ask Shane about this.”
I don''t want to make this decision by myself! A human life is involved here! I should talk to Shane first.
Sally nodded. “Sure. I''ll leave this to you and Mr. Shane then. Hurry up ande downstairs for
breakfast. I''ll go get the kids.”
“Okay.”
Natalie waited till Sally had left before frowning as she closed the door behind her.
Damn, I wasn''t expecting Jasmine to get pregnant... It''s nighttime where Shane is right now, so he
should have arrived by now.
With that in mind, she sat down on the bed and gave Shane a call.
Shane''s tired voice came on the phone momentster. “What''s up?”
“Hey, Darling! Did you not get any sleep on the flight?” Natalie asked with a frown.
He didn''t sleep at all beforeing here with me, and he stayed up the whole time to look after the
kids on the flight here. That means he has stayed up for over a day! Not getting any sleep on the flight
back would mean he has been up for 36 hours!
