“Bye, Mommy!” Sharon waved her chubby hands.
Connor gazed at Natalie. “Mommy, we'll miss you.”
“I'll miss you, too.” Natalie crouched down and patted their cheeks adoringly.
She wouldn't leave her kids if it wasn't for her career.
Natalie wanted a successful career. She refused to let her life revolve around her husband and her kids just like the
other wealthy wives and lose her self-identity.
Fortunately, her husband and kids understood and supported her.
Even though she had a tough past, she got to lead a blissful life after marrying Shane.
After giving each of the kids a kiss, she stood up and glanced at Shane. “Darling, I'm going to leave now.”
Shane pursed his lips and said nothing. He pulled her into his arms and gave her a tight hug. “I've arranged a villa,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthousekeeper, and bodyguards for you there. Even so, I hope you can take good care of yourself,” he whispered in
her ear.
“Don't worry,” Natalie assured him. “I'll certainly take good care of myself.
“Mm.” Shane stroked her hair and released her. “You should go now. Remember to call me after you arrive.”
“Okay. Bye now.” Natalie's eyes reddened as she stared at him. Standing on tiptoes, she pressed a kiss to his lips
before leaving with her luggage.
As she walked to the departure gate, two bodyguards followed behind her.
“Bye, Mommy!” the kids yelled behind her.
Natalie stopped in her tracks. Suddenly, she felt the urge to remain here.
Instead of turning back, she took a deep breath and strode forward.
She was afraid that she would end up staying if she were to look back.
Natalie boarded the plane shortly after. Six hours later, she arrived at her destination.
The bodyguards flanked her as she walked out of arrivals.
Right then, one bodyguard told her, “Madam, it's Ms. Cohen.”
He pointed at a lady not far ahead.
Natalie removed her shades and saw Lina. Beaming, she hurried over to her. “Lina!”
Lina was glancing at her phone when she heard Natalie call her name. She immediately looked up and pocketed
her phone. Flinging her arms around Natalie, she said excitedly, “Nat, we finally meet again! The last time we met
was a few weeks ago.”
Indeed, they last met a few weeks ago.
They didn't get to meet each other after Natalie came home.
Natalie shot her a curt nod. “Yes. We finally meet again.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she walked to the departure gate, two bodyguards followed behind her.
“Come, let's get into the car. Your husband arranged for a large RV that's really comfortable.” Lina took her hand
and led her out of the airport.
Amused, Natalie allowed Lina to bring her out.
They arrived at the villa half an hour later.
Lina hopped off the car before helping Natalie get out. Pointing at the villa, she explained, “I was staying in the hotel
when your husband's subordinate called to ask me to move here so I can keep you company. Your husband is really
something. He's treating me like a tool to relieve your boredom!”
Hearing the jealousy in her voice, Natalie shook her head. “All right, don't be mad. I'll chide him later.”
“Don't do that.” Lina stopped her and added cheekily, “I don't mind being a tool. I have nothing to lose, anyway. I
get to stay in such a great place without paying a cent, so it's fine with me. Don't yell at him.”
Natalie's lips twitched. “Well...”
“Hey, come on. Let's go in. I've never been in a villa, so I'm dying to see what's inside!” Lina dragged her toward
the villa.
After touring the place, Lina went to the bedroom she picked to unpack her stuff.
