Chapter 1369


    Natalie reached for a few bags from Ss and gave them to Mrs. Wilson. “Mrs. Wilson, this is some


    specialty I bought from Baycoast. Joyce''s father also made some delicious sauces and I brought some


    back with me.”

    “Really?” Mrs. Wilson looked into the bag in her hand happily. “I''ll use the sauces for dinner tonight


    then.”


    “Perfect.” Natalie nodded.


    With that, Natalie, Shane, and Mrs. Wilson walked into the house. As for Ss, he got back into the car


    and drove off.


    Since Shane wouldn''t be returning to Thompson Group afterward, Ss could get off work early as


    Shane''s assistant.


    He nned on using his free time to apany his girlfriend and have herfort him for the public


    disy of affection he was forced to witness in the car earlier that day.


    Upon arriving at the living room, Natalie set her purse down on the couch. “Oh right. Mrs. Wilson, are


    the kids at the kickboxing gym?”


    “Sharon''s there but not Connor. He''s attending the math olympiad coaching ss,” Mrs. Wilson


    answered.


    Natalie was baffled. “Math olympiad coaching ss?”


    “Connor met a mathematics professor sending his grandson to the kickboxing gym the day before


    yesterday. The professor noticed Connor''s talent in mathematics, so he asked Connor if he was


    interested in learning the math olympiad. Since Connor was interested, I let him participate,” Shane


    exined, taking a seat beside her.


    Mrs. Wilson nodded. “Yeah. That''s what happened.”


    “I see.” Natalie paused for a moment and cast an unhappy nce at him. “Why didn''t you tell me about


    this? It happened like two days ago now.”


    As Connor''s mother, I was thest to know.


    “I wanted to tell you, but Connor forbid me to. He said he wanted to tell you himself,” Shane exined


    with a shrug, not feeling guilty about revealing his son''s secret.


    Natalie rolled her eyes at him. “I''ll let Connor know you''ve already let the cat out of the bag then. I''d like


    to see how he''ll pester you for this in the next few days.”


    Shane chuckled. “That''s fine. Just pretend you don''t know about it.”


    The corner of Natalie''s lips twitched. “You''re truly a good father who always messes with your son,


    huh? Anyway, I''m going for a bath now. I need to change after being on the ne.”


    With that, she got to her feet and climbed the stairs to her room.


    Not long after, Shane got up and trailed after her.


    Natalie was enjoying her bath in the bathtub. Her eyes were closed as she listened to the music ying


    in the background and enjoyed the massage feature on the bathtub.


    Just then, the bathroom door creaked open slowly. Shane walked in with light steps and sat beside the


    bathtub to watch her.


    Sensing someone''s gaze on her, Natalie opened her eyes and saw Shane''s handsome face right in


    front of her. Startled, she spluttered, “Shane? What are you doing here?”


    “I''m here for a bath too.” Shane reached to loosen his necktie as he answered.


    Natalie''s eyes went wide at his answer. “You''re taking a bath too? But I''m bathing now. Why don''t you


    bathe after I''m done?”


    “No need. We can bathe together.”


    He stepped into the bathtub.


    The bathtub was round and was the size of a pool. It could easily fit up to five adults at the same time,


    so it was still spacious even after Shane settled in the tub.


    He sat beside Natalie, turning his back to her. “Could you massage my shoulders for me, please?”


    Natalie rolled her eyes at him but still did what he asked.


    After all, she couldn''t exactly chase him out after he came in.


    Besides, they were a married couple. It wasn''t their first time bathing together.


    Natalie was massaging Shane''s shoulder with just the right amount of pressure.


    The muscles on his shoulder were tense. It was obvious his body was tired from overworking.


    Natalie sighed, her heart aching for him. She poured a ssh of essential oil on her palm and


    continued to massage his shoulders.


    Shane''s eyes slowly fell shut at thefortable sensation before he finally drifted off to sleep.


    Natalie heard the change in his breathing and glimpsed at the dark circles under his eyes. She felt


    sorry for him.


    Not only did he need to manage thepany, worry about me, and worry about Anders, but now, he''s


    busy with catching Sean as well.
