CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1758

Chapter 1758 Not Tiring

Moreover, could Shane really bear to keep this secret from Natalie any longer?

He didn't think he could do it.

Shane's biggest soft spot wasn't even his three children. It was Natalie.

To him, she was and would always be the most important person.

In the end, he would still find himself telling her about it because he couldn't bear to see her constantly curious to the point of driving herself mad.

However, just when he thought he was reaching the limit of his patience, she managed to calm herself down. This allowed him to heave a sigh of relief as he no longer needed to break the news to her.

After all, he would prefer to surprise her with the gift at night than spoil the surprise right now just because he wasn't able to resist telling her about it. He wanted to see the look of surprise and happiness on her face so badly.

Shane's eyes sparkled as he thought about the matter.

When Natalie caught a glimpse of his eyes, she couldn't shake the feeling that he was up to something.

As a sense of foreboding rose within her, she quickly shook her head and decided not to dwell on it.

No matter what he's scheming or planning, I'm his wife. He won't hurt me. As long as it's not

detrimental to me, I'll respect whatever he's thinking.

That way, although Natalie was still curious about what Shane was thinking, she managed to restrain herself from asking. Instead, she quietly leaned into his chest and enjoyed the warmth he provided.

And there he was, gently holding her without saying anything too.

The couple remained silent until night fell. When the bedroom door was knocked on, only then did Shane gently stir the woman in his arms.

Natalie had fallen asleep in his arms. His embrace was so comfortable that she drifted off to sleep without knowing how much time had passed.

It wasn't until she felt someone shaking her that she hummed in response and opened her eyes.

“Awake?” A gentle voice of a man came from above her head.

Natalie rubbed her eyes. When her vision finally cleared, she was able to see everything in the room.

Although the light in the room was on, it was dim. It was the type of automatic night light that did not require someone to turn it on.

Moreover, the automatic light would only light up after the sky had completely darkened.

In other words, it was already at night.

Natalie blinked in confusion. “Did I really sleep for that long?”

“Not really. You slept for three hours,” Shane replied as he combed her disheveled hair.

Natalie blinked. “Not really? It's already dark outside, and you didn't even turn on the lights. That also means you've been holding me in the same position for three hours since I fell asleep. Don't your arm and shoulder feel sore?”

Natalie looked at Shane, her eyes filled with a mix of sorry and guilt.

She had been sleeping in his arms for a while. If her neck felt a little stiff, it must have been more uncomfortable for him, who hadn't moved at all.

Shane felt his heart soften when he looked into Natalie's eyes. As he reached out and gently touched her cheek, he said tenderly, “It's not tiring at all. How can holding my own wife be tiring? Even if I have to hold you for a lifetime, it will never be tiring for me.”

Hearing this, Natalie suddenly smiled. “You sure know how to cheer me up.”

“I'm not trying to cheer you up. I'm serious.” Shane kissed her forehead and expressed his feelings sincerely.

Warmth filled Natalie's heart. “Darling, you're so wonderful.”

“You're just finding out now?” Shane grinned.

“I've always known,” Natalie replied with a smile.

A smile tugged at the corners of Shane's lips. He was clearly pleased with her response.

After that, he gently patted Natalie's head. “All right, are you hungry? The housekeeper just knocked on the door and asked us to come down for dinner.”

Natalie lowered her head and patted her stomach. “I'm rather hungry actually.”

“Then let's get up.” Shane took her hand and stood up from the sofa. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Natalie looked at the arm that was pulling her. It was the same arm that had been holding her while she slept.

As she followed Shane toward the door, she gently kneaded his arm.

Shane looked down at her and asked, “What are you doing?”
