Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 63

Natalie stood by the road, trying to hail for a cab, but none passed by.

Initially, she planned to pick up her kids from the kindergarten because she thought she could make it back to the city within an hour. However, at this rate, it seemed quite impossible.

Left without a choice, Natalie could only call the teacher and ask the latter’s help in sending the kids home.

Two hours later, Natalie finally returned to her apartment.

As she was unlocking the door after removing her shoes, she yelled in the bedroom’s direction, “Connor, Sharon, Mommy’s back.”

Natalie frowned when she received no response from the kids.

What’s going on? Where are my kids?

They would normally welcome me when I get back home. So why are they not doing that today?

“Connor? Sharon?” Natalie shouted their names as she ran toward their bedroom and opened the door.

The room was dark, and it didn’t seem like someone was here.

Natalie immediately switched on the lights and scanned around the room. As expected, there wasn’t anyone around.

Her heart raced and she started panicking. To her disappointment, she couldn’t find her kids anywhere in the house after checking every room.

My kids are missing!

Natalie’s body froze as she swayed slightly, nearly fainting.

Taking in a few deep breaths, she forced herself to calm down and took out her phone to call the police.

Just when she was about to tap the dial button, she heard some movements and noise coming from the entrance.

Natalie concentrated on the noise, and she found out it was her kids’ voices. Overjoyed, she ran toward the entrance and opened the door.

“Mommy, you’re back.” Seeing Natalie at the door, both Connor and Sharon’s faces lit up with joy.

Natalie was silent for a moment before lunging forward and took both of them into a warm embrace.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Connor noticed his mother was trembling and exchanged glances with Sharon.

Natalie let go of her kids and scolded them while her eyes reddened with tears. “You two little rascals! Mommy was so worried and scared after discovering you guys weren’t home. I almost called the police!”

The twins knew they were in the wrong, and they lowered their heads. “We’re sorry, Mommy.”

Listening to their genuine apology, Natalie’s heart softened while she calmed herself down. “Now tell me. Where did you guys go?”

Why does Connor look so pale? Is it because of the lights?

Sharon replied, “We were at Mr. Shane’s house.”

Connor nodded, too.

“Mr. Shane?” Natalie lifted her head and saw Shane standing behind the kids.

“Mr. Shane, why are you with Connor and Sharon?” Natalie stood up and greeted him.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“When I came back, I saw the two of them downstairs, so I brought them to my apartment.” Shane leaned on the wall and replied indifferently.

Sharon held her hand up and drew a big circle in the air. “Mommy, Mr. Shane is so nice. He treated us to delicious food and took us out for a stroll.”

“Yeah. We’re just back from a walk.” Connor nodded in agreement.

“Oh, I see. Mr. Shane, thank you for taking care of my kids.” Natalie led the kids to bow at Shane.

“Don’t mention it. But why did you return so late?” Shane lifted his gaze to look at her and spoke in a slightly displeased tone.

How careless can she be? Leaving her kids alone at home. What if they got into danger?

Naturally, Natalie was unaware of Shane’s worries. In response, she smiled awkwardly and explained, “I went to three different textile mills this afternoon, so I came home late.”

Shane pursed his lips. “There’s no need for you to go there by yourself. Leave it to the procurement team.”

“It’s okay. Project Rebirth is very important to me. If I don’t review every stage by myself, I’ll be worried.” Natalie tucked her hair behind her ears.
