Natalie felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in her heart when she heard that.
She then retrieved the medicine from the plastic bag and realized they were ointments to help with the injuries in…
He sure is an attentive one, bringing this over because he knew I was a little banged up down there…
“I… I’ll go to my room now…” Natalie looked away, her face burning bright red as she said that.
Shane knew what she was going to do and cleared his throat awkwardly. “Go on, then.”
With that, Natalie ran into her room while Shane sat down in her chair and glanced through the documents on the coffee table.
Joyce had just gotten off the phone and turned around excitedly to tell Natalie the good news. Her jaw dropped in surprise when she saw Shane sitting there instead.
“Mr. Shane?” Joyce called out to him as she made her way into the living room.
Shane looked up and shot her a glance in response.
She then sat down in front of him and simply stared at him without saying anything, much to Shane’s annoyance.
“Yes? Can I help you?” he asked with a frown.
“Oh, nothing! Where’s Nat?”
“In her room.”
“Can I ask you a question, Mr. Shane?”
Shane nodded and motioned at her to go ahead.
Joyce took a deep breath. “You two have already done that, haven’t you? Don’t you think there should be a change in the status of your relationship?”
“Hm?” Shane narrowed his eyes in confusion.
“You had sex with her, so you are going to take responsibility for it, right? I’ll have you know that I won’t let you treat her like a casual fling!”
It took Shane a while to understand what she was implying.
“I am taking responsibility. In fact, I’ve already proposed to her,” he said calmly while crossing his legs.
Joyce nearly choked on her water when she heard that. “Y-You proposed to her?”
Shane nodded. “Yeah, something like that.”
Joyce stood up and raised her voice. “Did she say yes?”
“No, but I won’t give up.”
Joyce calmed down a little when she heard his reply. “I knew Nat wouldn’t just agree to it! I mean, who’s going to look after her kids, right?”
“They will be a part of the Thompson family as well.”
Joyce stared at him in surprise. “You mean, you don’t mind the fact that she has kids?”
A man may like a woman, but that doesn’t mean he’ll like her kids. That’s why most men find it hard to accept single mothers!
Shane shook his head. “No, I like them very much.”
Joyce could tell that he meant what he said and felt glad that Natalie had found herself a great guy. “In that case, you have my full support in marrying Nat!”
“Thank you,” Shane said with a smile.
Joyce was about to give him some tips and tricks to win Natalie over when she came out from her bedroom.
She glanced at Shane before shifting her gaze towards Joyce. “Are you done with the call?”
Joyce let out a sigh as she had no choice but to save that topic for another time. “Yeah, the guys from the production team will be coming over to our studio to discuss the details of our collaboration.”
Natalie nodded in acknowledgement. “Okay.”
Joyce stared at the two of them and stood up as she said, “Right, I’ll get going now! Don’t want to be in the way of you two lovebirds!”
