“What are you talking about?” Natalie blushed instantly and shot Joyce a fierce glare.
“I'm just trying to help you out here, Nat!” Joyce leaned in closer to Natalie's ear and whispered, “I have asked Mr.
Shane about it earlier. He said he's willing to marry you, no matter how many times you reject him. More
importantly, he likes your kids too! He's a great man, Nat! You should think about it! The kids will need a father
figure, you know?”
Joyce then left the house while Natalie shook her head and smiled helplessly.
She does make a good point, though... The kids will need a father figure in life...
Natalie then turned around to face Shane as she asked, “Mr. Shane, are you serious about being with me?”
“I have no reason to lie about these sort of things,” Shane said with a serious look in his eyes.

in her throat.
Shane stood up and walked up to her. “I know it can be hard to believe what I told you today morning, but I hope
you'll at least give me a chance to prove my words. Will you do that for me?”
Natalie had always liked him to begin with, so she no longer had any reason to refuse his advances after hearing
that. “Okay...”
Maybe this isn't a bad idea after all... If we really do end up together, I'll tell him the truth about the kids. If things
don't work out, I could just leave with the kids at any time.
Shane wasn't sure what Natalie was thinking about, but he knew better than to question why she seemed to have
loosened up a lot.
“Mrs. Wilson has made us dinner. Come on, let's head over to my place,” he said while checking his watch.
Natalie instinctively thought of rejecting his invitation, but remembered what she had just promised him and agreed
to it instead. “Okay, sure.”
With that, the two of them walked towards his apartment.
Throughout the next few days, Shane would come over to her place for breakfast and drop the kids off at
kindergarten before sending her to work.
Natalie knew it was his way of courting her and had slowly gotten used to his approach. Although it wasn't exactly
the most romantic one, it was very practical and new to her, so she didn't really mind it at all.
One day, Natalie was working on a suit for Shane as compensation when someone opened the door to her office.
Having been interrupted while working, Natalie looked up at the person in annoyance, only to exclaim in surprise
when she saw who it was, “Mr. Sean!”

Sean flashed her a bright smile while leaning against the door. “Yo, long time no see!”
“What brings you here all of a sudden?” Natalie asked as she put down the scissors.
Sean walked up to her and arched an eyebrow when he saw the suit on the table. “I thought you specialize in
women's clothing?”
Natalie narrowed her eyes. “That's true, but we had to learn to do men's clothing too. Nothing strange about that, is
there?”
Sean adjusted his glasses. “It's strange when you're personally working on it. Judging by the measurements, I'd say
this is for Shane, isn't it?”
Natalie was surprised that he had hit the nail on the head, but she maintained her composure anyway. “Is there
something you need, Mr. Sean?” she asked impatiently as she put the suit aside.
Sean clicked his tongue in annoyance when she avoided his question. “Tsk, tsk... To think you'd take this attitude
with me after I told Shane to reinvestigate what happened back then... How disappointing... Anyway, I came to
confirm if you and Shane are dating now.”
