Chapter 1534
If that happens, I''ll only end up on the losing end.
Straightening, Shane put on a solemn expression and ced his hands on the back of Natalie''s waist
before massaging it gently.
Surprisingly, his strength was just perfect despite his amateurish skills.
Natalie closed her eyes in enjoyment even as a contented smile curved her lips.
At the sight of her smile, Shane''s thin lips turned up as well.
An indeterminate time passed, so long that Natalie almost fell asleep before the man stopped
massaging her and stood up from the edge of the bed.
Opening her eyes, Natalie flipped over. Then, she stretched out a hand, signaling him to lend her a
hand.

Shane reached out and pulled her up.
After sitting up, Natalie twisted her waist for a bit, only to discover that it indeed didn''t hurt as much
anymore. While there was still a hint of difort, it was a vast improvement from when they first
returned to the room.
“You''re really incredible, Darling!” She shed the man a thumbs-up in surprise.
Lifting his chin, Shane announced proudly, “I''ve always been incredible! Have you only realized that
now?”
In response, Natalie rolled her eyes at him. “All right, hurry up and shower, then rest earlier. You''ve still
got to wake up early tomorrow.”
“We''ll shower together.” As Shane said that, he grabbed her hand once more and pulled her up from
the bed. On the heels of that, he bent down and ced an arm behind her knee, scooping her up in a
bridal carry before striding toward the bathroom.
If that happans, I''ll only and up on tha losing and.

Natalie was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly started struggling. “Hey! What are you doing?
Hurry up and put me down!”
“Naturally, we''re going to shower together.” Not only did Shane refuse to do as ordered, but his hold on
her even tightened.
Natalie stared at him. “I don''t want to shower with you.”
Every time I shower with him, we end up being intimate, and I get tortured for an eternity without any
respite. This time, things will likely end in the same manner.
It went without saying that Shane knew why she didn''t want to shower with him, but he would never
allow her off the hook. Lowering his head, he bit the tip of her ear lightly. “Aren''t you going to satisfy me
for a bit though I''m leaving tomorrow?”
At the mention of him leaving tomorrow, Natalie''s arguments got stuck in her throat.
Look how glib he is and his insane skills at seizing the opportunity, making it so that I can''t refuse him!
He knows that he and the kids are my weakness, aware that I can''t bear to part with them, so he
deliberately spoke of his departure tomorrow. With that, I wouldn''t be able to turn him down.
She looked at him speechlessly, no longer struggling. Some time passed before she finally muttered,
“What a smart cookie.”
At her remark, Shane chuckled softly. “Thank you for thepliment.”
As his words fell, the bathroom door mmed shut.
When it swung open again, several hours had passed.
Shane walked out with Natalie, who had a bathrobe draped over her, in his arms. Thetter rested in
his embrace with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
That made sense since she was already tired enough after apanying Connor and Sharon for such
a long time, not to mention now that she had spent an eternity appeasing the man. It would be a
miracle if she were still wide awake.
Shane carried Natalie to the side of the bed and gently ced her on the bed. He caressed her face
before flipping open the covers and crawling into bed, then turning off the lights.
But a short whileter, he opened his eyes and got up again. After packing up, he quietly left the room.
In the living room downstairs, the two children had already been dressed by the housekeeper and were
sitting on the couch.
When they saw Shaneing down the stairs, they immediately jumped off the couch and sprinted
over, each grabbing his hand on either side. “Where''s Mommy, Daddy?”
At their question, Shane reached out and stroked their heads, replying gently, “She''s still sleeping, so
she won''t being down. She has apetitionter in the day, so we''ll let her rest for a while longer
instead of seeing us off.”
“Okay, we''ll let her rest. Thepetition must be tiring for her.” Sharon bobbed her head docilely.
Contrarily, Connor threw Shane a sidelong nce, all too aware of the reason Natalie didn''te
downstairs.
Hah! Mommy isn''t the kind of person who''d pass uping downstairs to see us off just because she''s
got apetition tomorrow!
