Chapter 1632


    A blush spread across Natalie''s face as she replied, “Okay, okay. Stop it.”


    Knowing that the woman was feeling embarrassed, Shane chucked and said, “All right. I''ll stop talking


    about it now.” Natalie finally stopped ring at the man and retracted her gaze. Suddenly, she seemed


    to recall something and furrowed her brows. “I wonder how Joyce is doing. She hasn''t contacted me for


    the past two days. I wonder if it''s a good or a bad thing.”


    “It''s not a bad thing,” Shane replied, crossing his legs.


    Natalie looked at the man and asked, “Why?”


    “No news is usually good news.” Shane pursed his lips and continued, “If something had happened to


    the Rivers family, they would definitely have contacted you. Even if Joyce didn''t, her parents would


    have gotten in touch with you. The fact that you didn''t hear from any of them means that they are fine.


    So, don''t think too much.”


    “But I can''t help worrying if I don''t know what''s going on with them.” Natalie massaged her temples and


    said in frustration.


    Shaneforted, “You really don''t have to worry. As I said, no news is good news. You should try to


    think positively. Besides, I''ve sent someone to protect them in secret. Since I haven''t received any


    news from my men yet, it means everything is well with the Rivers family.”


    Natalie was slightly relieved upon hearing that. “You''re right. I''m just scaring myself.”

    Netelie wes slightly relieved upon heering thet. “You''re right. I''m just scering myself.”


    “I know you''re concerned about the Rivers family, but you also have to take care of your own health.”


    Shane reached out and tousled the woman''s hair.


    Natalie smiled and replied, “Okay, okay, you''re so naggy. I promise you that I will stop overthinking. Are


    you happy now?”


    “That''s my good girl.” Shane lifted his chin slightly.


    Just then, his phone rang, and the man took out his phone.


    After ncing at the screen, a frown appeared on his face.


    “What''s the matter?” Natalie stopped drinking the milk and asked with a worried expression.


    Shane rxed his tense expression and replied, “It''s Sean''s mom.”


    “Sean''s mom?” Natalie eximed in surprise. “Why is she calling you?”


    Catherine had left the Thompson family after Sam passed away, and no one knew her whereabouts. It


    was as if she had vanished from the face of the Earth.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that she had called Shane, Natalie would have soon forgotten all about her.


    Natalie did not harbor any ill feelings toward the woman, but neither was she very fond of her.


    She would never forget the time Catherine behaved in such a high and mighty manner when they met


    at the coffee shop.


    Of course, apart from that, Catherine had never done anything bad to her.


    As such, Natalie''s feelings toward the woman were neutral.


    “I don''t know.” Shane shook his head before continuing, “After she left the Thompson family, she has


    nothing to do with us anymore. By right, there shouldn''t be any reason for her to contact me. It must be


    something important for her to call me now.”

    “I think so too.” Natalie nodded before urging, “Hurry, pick up and see what she wants.”


    Shane hummed in response before answering the call.


    While he spoke on the phone, Natalie fixed her gaze on the man.


    A few minutester, Shane put down his phone and pressed his lips together.


    Straightening her back, Natalie asked at once, “What did she say?”


    “She asked me to spare Sean''s life,” Shane replied coldly.


    “What? Spare Sean''s life? What did she mean by that? It''s not as if we have captured Sean and are


    intending to kill him. Why would she say that?” Natalie was perplexed.


    “Apparently, Sean contacted her a few days back,” Shane said, narrowing his eyes.


    Natalie blinked and replied, “Hasn''t Sean already cut ties with her? Besides, he also refused to


    acknowledge Sam and Catherine as his parents, not to mention the fact that they hold no love toward


    him either. Why would he...”


    “I don''t know what either of them is thinking. She only told me that Sean obtained her contact details a


    few days ago and called to say his final farewell,” Shane answered with a shake of his head.
