Chapter 1267 Reunited At Last
“You’re finally back, Mommy! I’ve missed you so much!” Sharon sobbed while nuzzling against Natalie’s thigh.
While Connor didn’t sob like his sister did, he had tears in his eyes too when he nodded in agreement. “That’s right, Mommy! I’ve missed you too!”
It really pained Natalie to see her children crying like this.
She knelt down and pulled them both into her embrace as she sobbed, “I’ve missed you two too! I’m so sorry for making you two worry!”
As a mother, I really am a failure for letting someone abduct me like that! These kids must’ve been so scared!
Both Connor and Sharon simply continued sobbing silently in her arms.
Joyce made her way toward Natalie and stood there without saying a word. She wanted to wait for them to finish enjoying their reunion before speaking up.
Shane too, stood beside them so as to not interrupt the heartwarming moment they were having.
A few minutes later, he stepped forward and pulled all three of them into his arms anyway. “All right, stop crying. Isn’t it a good thing that your mommy is back?”
Connor wiped his tears and stopped sobbing after hearing that. “Daddy’s right. Stop crying, Sharon. We should be smiling now that Mommy’s home!”
“Okay, Connor. I’ll stop crying,” Sharon replied while trying to stop herself from sniffling.
She then looked up at Natalie and Shane with a smile as she continued, “Mommy, Daddy, look! I’m not crying anymore!”
“Yup, I know! You’re such a good girl!” Natalie gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Of course, having always been a fair mother, she remembered to give Connor a kiss as well.
Shane too, gave both of the kids a kiss each before helping Natalie to her feet.
Natalie flashed her three friends a smile, and they smiled back at her in response.
The next thing she knew, all three of them ran toward her and hugged her tightly.
“Welcome back, Nat!” they shouted in unison while Shane and the kids watched on from the side.
For the first time ever, he didn’t feel any displeasure when seeing them hug and kiss Natalie.
That was mainly because he saw just how worried they had been while Natalie was gone, and he knew they had been doing their best to search for her as well.
The friendship they had was something worthy of his acknowledgment, so he didn’t have to worry about Natalie being close to them.
Mrs. Wilson’s eyes reddened as well when she came over and saw Natalie. “Madam!”
Natalie quickly let go of her friends and ran forward to hug her upon hearing that. “I’m back, Mrs. Wilson!”
Mrs. Wilson patted her on the back. “I’m glad you’re home safe!”
“Sorry for making you worry, Mrs. Wilson!” Natalie apologized with a smile.
“No, it’s fine. Your husband and children were the ones most worried,” Mrs. Wilson replied while letting go of her.
Natalie nodded. “Yeah, I know. This won’t happen again. I won’t make them live in fear and anxiety again.”
Mrs. Wilson wiped her tears and said with a smile, “All right, Madam. It’s cold out here, so how about we continue this reunion inside the house?”
“Okay! Come on, everyone!” Natalie called out to the others.
Joyce stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Natalie’s. “Yes, let’s all head back inside! Nat, tell us what you’ve been through while you were gone!”
“Yeah! Tell us! Tell us!” Sally chimed in as well.
Lina didn’t say anything, but she too, wanted to know what Natalie had experienced.
Natalie nodded. “Sure, I’ll tell you all everything that has happened.”
The only thing that happened to her was being held prisoner by Sean, so there wasn’t anything she didn’t feel comfortable talking about.
