Chapter 1077


    Since pregnantdies tend to feel lethargic, Natalie fell asleep on Shane’sp not long after shey


    down.


    Shane kept caressing her short hair.


    When Natalie was for four months into her pregnancy, she had chosen to cut her long hair.


    Worried that her hair would absorb all her nutrients, Natalie decided to have only shoulder-length hair


    to retain more nutrients for the baby.


    Natalie was okay with having short hair as she had cut her long hair when she was carrying Connor


    and Sharon as well. Her professional stylist had chosen the best short hairstyle for her.


    With shorter hair, Natalie looked less charming but more regal.


    Right then, Shane noticed the fetal movement on Natalie’s belly.


    He stopped caressing Natalie’s hair and gently put his hand on her belly.


    As expected, the baby was forcefully kicking the part where Shane had put his hand on.


    Withdrawing his hand, Shane put on a loving smile and whispered, “Baby, please stop moving. Mommy


    is sleeping now, and you’re gonna wake her up.”


    The next moment, the baby fell silent as though she could understand him.


    Shane touched Natalie’s belly again and patted the part where the baby had kicked just now. “That’s


    my child.”


    Indeed.


    Shane picked Natalie up and walked toward the stairs.


    Natalie didn’t gain much weight, even though she was pregnant. She looked as curvy as before and


    only her belly looked bigger.


    Other female designers in thepetition who had given birth to children before couldn’t help but envy


    Natalie.


    After all, they were overweight and almost couldn’t recognize themselves when they were pregnant.


    When they asked Natalie about her secrets to keeping her figure, Natalie couldn’t give them an answer


    because she was born with that figure.


    She had never been out of shape since she carried Connor and Sharon.


    “Mommy?” When Shane arrived on the second floor and wanted to carry Natalie into their bedroom,


    Connor happened toe out from his room.


    Shane turned around and gestured for Connor to lower his voice. “Mommy is asleep. Don’t wake her


    up.”


    Connor gazed at Natalie and nodded in response.


    Shane opened the door and Connor followed him into the bedroom.


    Shane put Natalie on the bed gently and tucked her in. Then he straightened up and nced at


    Connor. “Why are you here?”


    Connor looked up at him and said, “Daddy, I need to talk to you.”


    “Okay. Let’s talk outside.”


    With that, Shane and Connor headed toward the door.

    After closing the door, Shane asked, “Where is your sister?”


    “Sharon fell asleep when she was watching a cartoon,” Connor replied.


    Shane raised his chin slightly. “Well, what is it that you want to tell me?”


    Since Connor was a mature boy, Shane didn’t treat him as a child and talked to him as an equal.


    Given Connor’s intelligence and knowledge, Shane thought he deserved to be seen as an equal.


    Nheless, Shane loved Connor as his child when the family spent quality time together.


    “I saw Uncle Sean at the exhibition where you and Mommy visited today,” Connor said with a stern


    face.


    Shane was not surprised. He nodded in response. “I know. We saw them escape in a helicopter in the


    end. Now, Governor Stephen’s air force is doing everything in its power to search for the helicopter.”


    “He rented that helicopter and it has been delivered back to the rental center,” Connor said.


    Shane frowned in disbelief upon hearing it. “What?”
