A blush spread across Natalie's face as she replied, “Okay, okay. Stop it.”
Knowing that the woman was feeling embarrassed, Shane chucked and said, “All right. I'll
stop talking about it now.” Natalie finally stopped glaring at the man and retracted her
gaze. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and furrowed her brows. “I wonder how
Joyce is doing. She hasn't contacted me for the past two days. I wonder if it's a good or a
bad thing.”
“It's not a bad thing,” Shane replied, crossing his legs.
Natalie looked at the man and asked, “Why?”
“No news is usually good news.” Shane pursed his lips and continued, “If something had
happened to the Rivers family, they would definitely have contacted you. Even if Joyce
didn't, her parents would have gotten in touch with you. The fact that you didn't hear from
any of them means that they are fine. So, don't think too much.”
“But I can't help worrying if I don't know what's going on with them.” Natalie massaged
her temples and said in frustration.
Shane comforted, “You really don't have to worry. As I said, no news is good news. You
should try to think positively. Besides, I've sent someone to protect them in secret. Since I
haven't received any news from my men yet, it means everything is well with the Rivers
family.”
Natalie was slightly relieved upon hearing that. “You're right. I'm just scaring myself.”

“I know you're concerned about the Rivers family, but you also have to take care of your
own health.” Shane reached out and tousled the woman's hair.
Natalie smiled and replied, “Okay, okay, you're so naggy. I promise you that I will stop
overthinking. Are you happy now?”
“That's my good girl.” Shane lifted his chin slightly.
Just then, his phone rang, and the man took out his phone.
After glancing at the screen, a frown appeared on his face.
“What's the matter?” Natalie stopped drinking the milk and asked with a worried
expression.
Shane relaxed his tense expression and replied, “It's Sean's mom.”
“Sean's mom?” Natalie exclaimed in surprise. “Why is she calling you?”
Catherine had left the Thompson family after Sam passed away, and no one knew her
whereabouts. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the Earth.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had called Shane, Natalie would have soon forgotten all
about her.
Natalie did not harbor any ill feelings toward the woman, but neither was she very fond of
her.

when they met at the coffee shop.
Of course, apart from that, Catherine had never done anything bad to her.
As such, Natalie's feelings toward the woman were neutral.
“I don't know.” Shane shook his head before continuing, “After she left the Thompson
family, she has nothing to do with us anymore. By right, there shouldn't be any reason for
her to contact me. It must be something important for her to call me now.”
“I think so too.” Natalie nodded before urging, “Hurry, pick up and see what she wants.”
Shane hummed in response before answering the call.
While he spoke on the phone, Natalie fixed her gaze on the man.
A few minutes later, Shane put down his phone and pressed his lips together.
Straightening her back, Natalie asked at once, “What did she say?”
“She asked me to spare Sean's life,” Shane replied coldly.
“What? Spare Sean's life? What did she mean by that? It's not as if we have captured Sean
and are intending to kill him. Why would she say that?” Natalie was perplexed.
“Apparently, Sean contacted her a few days back,” Shane said, narrowing his eyes.
Natalie blinked and replied, “Hasn't Sean already cut ties with her? Besides, he also
refused to acknowledge Sam and Catherine as his parents, not to mention the fact that
they hold no love toward him either. Why would he...”
“I don't know what either of them is thinking. She only told me that Sean obtained her
contact details a few days ago and called to say his final farewell,” Shane answered with a
shake of his head.
