CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1478

“You sleep first. I'll turn off the lights,” Shane said gently.

“Okay. You sleep too. You must be tired after playing with the kids.”

Shane chuckled. “Yeah. They're too hyper.”

Natalie smiled as well. “I agree.”

“Goodnight!” Shane uttered, switching off the light.

“Goodnight, Darling,” Natalie replied.

The sound of her goodnight ushered in a night of rest as the room fell into darkness after the lights went out.

When morning came, Shane and the children began their journey home.

Two days were the most the three could spend with Natalie.

After all, Connor still had to attend school, and Shane could not leave Thompson Group unattended for too long, so two days was the maximum they could stay.

At the airport, Natalie took her children into her arms and held them for a long time while Shane stood beside her.

“Take care of yourself. I'll bring the children to see you soon,” he assured.

Natalie caressed the children and stood back up to talk to him. “I will. You take care too. I know you're busy at the company, but don't overwork yourself.”

“I won't. Don't worry,” Shane replied with a faint smile.

He was no longer the man who lived only for work.

Now, he had a wife and children. He would definitely take care of himself and make sure he was safe and healthy, or else his family would be worried.

“Good to know.” Natalie was glad Shane had promised to look after himself. She smiled at him, adjusting his collar.

“By the way, about Joyce, you can tell her about my suggestion and give her some time to think about it. She can come and look for me at Thompson Group once she makes up her mind. I will make the necessary arrangements after that,” Shane reminded.

“I will,” Natalie replied. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Then we will get going first,” Shane added, looking down toward her.

“Sure. Give me a call when you land.”

“I will.” He ruffled her hair before bringing the children to the VIP passage.

Behind them, Silas and the bodyguards followed with their hand-carry luggage.

As for Natalie and Lina, they waited and watched the group until it finally disappeared out of sight down the passage.

“They're gone. Let's go,” Lina reminded as she went closer to Natalie.

Natalie finally looked away and joined Lina. “All right. Let's go.”

They walked out of the airport and got into the car. Then, Natalie dug out her phone to call Joyce.

Since Joyce had been waiting for her call, it did not take long before Natalie's call got through. “Hey, Nat. How did things go?” Joyce asked anxiously.

“Joyce, there's something I need to talk to you about. Shane offered a recourse,” Natalie informed.

“What is it?” Joyce was eager to hear Shane's suggestion, but Natalie's sigh gave her a bad feeling about what she was about to hear.

“He said you should consider leaving J City with your parents and never return.”

“What? Never come back to J City?” Joyce froze with her mouth open.

“Yes. This is the only way if you want to keep the child. You must leave Stanley and never see him again. That is how you can save the baby and your family.”

Joyce was quiet.

This was not the solution she expected.

On the other end, Natalie was not surprised at all by Joyce's response.

“Joyce—”

“Nat,” Joyce cut in before Natalie could continue, “is this the only way? Must I leave J City?”

Joyce bit her lip. She did not want to leave the city, nor did she want her elderly parents to flee elsewhere with her and live a life where they would be constantly looking over their shoulders.

Most importantly, she could not bear to live without Stanley.
