Chapter 1533


    They really can''t stop, huh? Whenever there''s an opportunity, they start again with their public disys


    of affection. How annoying! Dear God, please send a bolt of lightning and strike them down right here


    and now!


    Meanwhile, Natalie had no idea that the sweet nothings between her and Shane had Lina, the single


    one at the side, green with envy.


    But then, even if she knew, she would only urge the woman to hurry up and find a partner so that she


    didn''t have to be jealous each time.


    After dinner, Lina hurriedly went back upstairs and holed up in her room.


    In her own words, she didn''t want to be treated to a front-row seat of their public disys of affection


    again in a while.


    That would be too much for her to bear.


    At that, Natalie shook her head in amusement. Then, she took Connor and Sharon upstairs.


    Shane didn''t go upstairs but stayed in the living room to do some work. He had a video conference.


    Natalie, on the other hand, yed with the children and told them stories in the room.


    They were leaving early tomorrow morning, so as their mother, she wanted to spend as much time as


    possible with them. Otherwise, she would only be able to see them again in seven days.


    Despite having video calls with them every day, it still couldn''tpare to meeting them in person.


    That night, she kept thempany untilte at night. They weren''t sleepy either, still as energetic as


    ever when it was past midnight, perhaps because they had slept for too long in the afternoon.


    In the end, if it weren''t for Shaneing in and forcibly demanding that they sleep and stop torturing


    her, they would have probably stayed up until the wee hours of the morning.


    Thay raally can''t stop, huh? Whanavar thara''s an opportunity, thay start again with thair public disys


    of affaction. How annoying! Daar God, asa sand a bolt of lightning and strika tham down right hara

    Shane then led Natalie out of the children''s room, supporting half her weight with an arm around her


    waist.


    Natalie leaned against him wearily,menting in both happiness and exhaustion, “Gosh, I''m close to


    my limits. I really didn''t expect them to be so energetic, pestering me to y Ludo with them. That


    aside, they never got sick of it.”


    “They couldn''t possibly be sick of it when you sang a song upon losing while they put on a show for you


    when they lost instead. You spoiled them too much. You should''ve just ordered them to go to bed.


    Then, you could''ve gotten away and not tired yourself out to such an extent,” Shane drawled with a


    chuckle, gazing down at the woman in his arms.


    Massaging her temples, Nataliemented, “I didn''t n on that either, but I couldn''t bear to call an end


    to things and wanted to spend more time with them at the mere thought that they would be going back


    tomorrow and leaving me.”


    “It''s not like you wouldn''t see them again in the future, so you didn''t need to run yourself into the


    ground.” Shane flicked her on the forehead.


    At once, Natalie grunted in pain. “What are you doing?”


    “Helping to wake you up. Feeling better now?” Dropping his arm from around her, Shane pressed down


    on her shoulders, signaling her to sit on the edge of the bed.


    Natalie shook her head to get rid of the drowsiness. “Yeah. Go and shower first. I''ll lie down for a while


    before showering. My waist is throbbing after sitting on the carpet for hours on end.”


    “Does it hurt badly?” Dipping his head, Shane scrutinized her waist.


    Natalie hummed slightly before answering, “It''s still bearable, but exceedingly stiff. I can''t straighten up,


    or it''ll hurt.”


    “Lie on your front,” Shane uttered, his thin lips parting slightly.


    Natalie eyed him dubiously. “Why?”


    “I''ll massage it for you,” Shane offered.


    Chortling, Natalie flipped over andy on her front. “I naturally wouldn''t decline the rare experience of


    having the high and mighty Mr. Thompson service me with a massage.”


    As Shane gazed at her, a sh of something dark flittered across his eyes. He leaned down and


    brought his face close to her ear, murmuring in a hoarse voice, “Oh? It''s rare to have me service you,


    you said? What aboutst night—”


    “Stop!” Natalie''s face promptly med. In the next second, she hastily pped a hand over his face.


    “Don''t equate the two. A massage is different from that. It''s true that I''ve never gotten a massage from


    you.”


    Shane removed her hand from his mouth. “But that''s far more pleasurable than this, no?”


    Natalie''s face turned so red that it resembled an overripe tomato. She red at him in both vexation


    and embarrassment. “Stop talking nonsense! Are you giving me a massage or not? If it''s thetter,


    hurry up and go shower.”


    At that, Shane chuckled lowly. “Okay, I''ll give you a massage.”


    He no longer teased her, afraid that she would really get mad and ignore him.
