Chapter 344


    “Just wait for a moment, Mr. Shane. Mommy will be done very soon,” Connor reassured in an adult-like


    manner.


    Shane chuckled deeply. “Sure.”


    Suddenly, Sharon got to her feet and padded toward him. “Mr. Shane, can I ask you for a favor?”


    She raised her cute index finger and stared at Shane with an imploring gaze.


    Shane met her gaze and made sure to soften his tone. “Go ahead.”


    “Can youe for my parent-teacher meeting tomorrow as my dad?” Sharon yed with the hem of her


    blouse with a shy blush creeping up her cheeks.


    Both Connor and Shane were taken aback by her request.


    Even Natalie who was just emerged from the shower was surprised. “Sharon, why didn’t you tell me


    about your parent-teacher meeting?”


    Not bothering to ask Shane when he had arrived, she walked over in her pajamas and her hair wrapped


    in a towel, then gently pulled Sharon toward her.


    Shane caught a whiff of the pleasant scenting from her body, squinting his eyes as his Adam’s apple


    bobbed.


    Sharon hung her head low and said in a small voice, “Because Mommy is still busy with thepetition


    tomorrow and won’t have time toe for the meeting, so I didn’t say anything about it.”


    Connor stroked his chin and his eyes lit up with realization. “No wonder she was so down the entire way


    home.”


    Natalie parted her lips in an attempt tofort her daughter, but no words came.


    She’s right. I still have to go for thepetition tomorrow and there’s no way I can leave.


    But I can’t miss her parent-teacher meeting either…


    Feeling conflicted, Natalie gnawed on her bottom lip. Then, she squatted down and cupped Sharon’s


    little face. “Darling, tell you what, I’ll skip thepetition tomorrow and apany you…”


    “No!” Shane interrupted her and stood up from the sofa. “Tomorrow’s the semi-finals and it is of key


    importance. You cannot pull out from thepetition. Once you do, you won’t be able to participate in


    any internationalpetitions. Isn’t it your dream to be internationally famous? Well, this is your first step


    of realizing that dream.”


    Natalie stood up as well. “I know, but the parent-teacher meeting is equally important.”


    Because the twins don’t have a father, I vowed to spend as much time as I can with them and not miss


    any important asions.


    I can’t break my promise!


    “Parent-teacher meetings are indeed important, but you don’t have to be the one who goes. Sharon has


    asked me to go. Besides, I was the one who attended the family event at the yground the other time.


    Their teachers know me, so don’t worry about it and just focus on thepetition.” Shane caressed


    Sharon’s head while looking at Natalie.


    Connor nodded inplete agreement. “Yeah, Mommy. Just go for yourpetition tomorrow. Mr.


    Shane and I will go with Sharon.”


    “But…” Natalie curled her fists restlessly, wanting to say something.


    However, Shane cut off her words once again. “If you attend the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow and


    miss thepetition, you’ll be filled with regret for the rest of your life.”


    “Mr. Shane is right. You should focus on thepetition, Mommy. I won’t be mad.” Sharon tugged on the


    corner of Natalie’s shirt with a broad grin on her face.


    Faced with her two sensible children coupled with Shane’s assurance, Natalie’s lips twitched


    inconspicuously, but in the end, she chose to relent.


    She sighed softly before bowing respectfully to Shane. “Alright then. I’ll leave the kids in your care


    tomorrow, Mr. Shane. Sorry for the trouble.”


    “It’s no big deal.” Shane waved his hand to make light of the matter.


    Connor tugged Sharon to his side and dered, “Mommy, Mr. Shane said he has something to discuss


    with you, so Sharon and I will go back to our rooms first.”


    With that, the twins turned around and scuttled away.


    Only Natalie and Shane were left in the living room. Natalie poured him a ss of water and queried,


    “What can I do for you, Mr. Shane?”


    Shane epted the ss from her and took a sip from it before instructing, “Go change your clothes and


    dry your hair first. Then, we’ll talk.”


    “Huh?” Natalie looked down at herself and felt her face heat up.


    Even though her pajamas weren’t exposing, because of its silk fabric, it was slightly transparent under


    the lighting, causing the outline of her bra to be vaguely visible.


    Oh my God. I looked like this the entire time he is here?


    “Sorry. I’ll go get changed now.” Natalie lifted her lips into an awkward smile before darting toward her


    room like her tail was on fire.
