Chapter 1074


    Connor understood what his parents were worried about upon seeing their stern expressions. He


    smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mommy, Daddy. I won’t.”


    “Very well, then.” Natalie took him into her arms and caressed his hair lovingly.


    Shane stood up and gazed at his bodyguards. “Send some men to search the university town and see


    if the car is still there. If it is, use Jacqueline’s photo to ask around about her. She has an oriental-


    looking face. I’m sure the people who live in that area will more or less remember her.”


    “Understood.” The bodyguards nodded in response and left to execute the order.


    Natalie grabbed Shane’s hand and asked, “Shane, why do you think Jacqueline showed up today? And


    what’s more, she showed up at the jewelry market. She wouldn’t visit the ce to buy jewelry, would


    she?”


    “No, Mommy.” Shaking his head in response, Connor clicked the “enter” button on theputer to


    open a video. “This is the security footage of the jewelry market, where Jacqueline showed up today.


    Based on the footage, she went to the ce half an hour after you guys arrived. Ever since then, she


    had been keeping an eye on the shop that you visited.”


    “Baby, are you trying to say that’s she targeting me?” Natalie frowned.


    Shane narrowed his eyes and exined, “To be exact, she showed up on purpose so that you would


    notice her.”


    “Why?” Natalie pursed her lips, confused. “She’s been hiding and has never shown up for a long time.


    Why did she show up all of a sudden and make sure that I saw her?”


    “It’s still a mystery. However, the only thing I’m certain about is that they are on to something. Who


    knows? Sean might be the next to show up.” Shane tapped the table as he made a guess.


    Natalie felt her head throb. “What are they up to?”


    “Well, we have to be vignt regardless of what they intend to do. Since the finals are around the


    corner, we can’t afford any idents,” Shane said with a stern face.


    Natalie nodded and replied, “I understand.”


    At night, Natalie and Shane returned to their bedroom after tucking their kids in.


    Leaning against the head of the bed, Shane read the finance report on his tablet, while Natalie scrolled


    through her phone to watch some funny videos.


    “Ouch!” Natalie put down her phone abruptly and touched her belly.


    “What is it?” Thinking that something was wrong, Shane put down the tablet and turned around to


    check up on her.


    A momentter, Natalie lifted her head and assured him smilingly, “I’m fine. Your son or your daughter


    just kicked me.”


    “What?” Shane came to his senses and gazed at her belly. “They just moved?”


    “Yes.” Natalie nodded.


    Shane put his hand on her belly and said, “But I can’t feel anything.”


    Disappointment shed across his eyes.


    Natalie had told Shane that there were fetal movements when she was four months into her pregnancy.


    Hence, he was excited and had been looking forward to witnessing the special moments.


    Given that Shane didn’t participate in Connor’s and Sharon’s babyhood, he didn’t want to miss it again.


    To his disappointment, Shane still couldn’t witness it even after Natalie told him many times when the


    baby moved.


    Shane couldn’t help but wonder if the baby had kept quiet on purpose whenever he touched Natalie’s


    belly.


    Meanwhile, Natalie was amused to see the slight disappointment on Shane’s face. She caressed her


    belly and said to her baby gently, “Baby, can you move and say hello to Daddy? Daddy loves you very


    much.”


    Just then, the baby moved as though it was responding to Natalie’s request.


    Natalie quickly lifted her pajamas to show her belly and grabbed Shane’s sleeves, telling him to look.


    At that moment, Shane could finally see a slight bulge in Natalie’s belly as if something was kicking her


    belly and moving around.

    Shane knew that the baby was his.


    As Natalie gave him an encouraging look, Shane nervously put his hand on her belly.


    The next moment, Shane felt the baby kicking right below his hand as though it didn’t like it.


    However, since Shane didn’t move his hand away, the baby seemed to have given up and fell silent


    again. After maintaining his posture for a while, Shane could feel that the baby had calmed down. Only


    then did he move his hand away and chuckle. “Our baby is strong.”
