Connor and Sharon spotted Natalie and Shane the moment they entered the living room.
The children's eyes lit up as they ran to their parents.
“Daddy! Mommy!”
The children each hugged a person's leg while looking up at them.
“Where were you two? Connor and I couldn't find you, and you didn't answer when we
called,” asked Sharon, blinking innocently.
Connor nodded. “Exactly!”
Natalie ruffled her daughter's hair. “We were on the balcony.”
“What were you doing there?” Sharon tilted her head in confusion.
Noticing Natalie's red lips, Sharon asked curiously, “Mommy, what's wrong with your lips?
Why are they so red? Did you eat something? Hey, Daddy's lips are red, too.”
Sharon turned to Shane, saying, “Is that Mommy's lipstick?”
Natalie blushed the moment she heard that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane, too, froze.
Clearly, the couple did not think Sharon would find out what they were up to just now.
At that very second, the couple felt utterly embarrassed and awkward.
Snapping out of his shock, Connor quickly covered Sharon's mouth for fear she might say
anything else. He then flashed the adults an awkward smile. “Uh... Mommy, Daddy, please
don't mind Sharon. You know how she is. She never filters her words.”
Natalie held her forehead, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh in response to that. “All
right. Let your sister go.”
“Okay.” Connor did as told and removed his hand from Sharon's mouth.
Gazing innocently at the adults, Sharon asked, “Mommy, did I say something wrong just
now?”
Natalie squatted and held Sharon's shoulders. “You're not wrong, but you mustn't say that
in the future. We won't get mad at you, but other people might when you expose them for
biting each other's lips. Do you understand?”
Sharon blinked in puzzlement. “Is that so, Daddy?”
Shane hummed in response. “Of course.”
“All right. I won't say it anymore.” Sharon nodded.
“Good girl.” Natalie gently pinched Sharon's nose before standing up.
Although Natalie was a little embarrassed that her daughter had exposed them, the
children had witnessed similar situations before. Thus, the matter was forgotten after a
while.
“By the way, is there something you two need?” Shane asked suddenly.
His question reminded Natalie about it as well.
Natalie asked, “Exactly. Both of you sounded so urgent earlier. Did something happen?”
“No.” Connor shook his head. He then placed his hands into his shirt pocket and revealed
a pendant. “Ms. Cohen gave us something. Sharon wanted to show it to you so badly, so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe came down to look for you.”
“Yeah. Isn't it pretty?” Sharon took out her pendant happily.
Hence, Shane lowered himself and examined the pendant. “It's not bad. It's quite
exquisite. Lina must've put in a lot of effort.”
Not only was the design amazing, but the workmanship was also as great as that of a
pendant carving expert.
Although the material was not of top quality, it was still relatively expensive. To purchase
that would burn a hole in the wallet for someone like Lina.
Clearly, Lina had put a lot of thought into the children's gifts.
Natalie was also examining Connor's pendant.
It was her first time seeing what the pendants' design looked like.
Back then, Natalie only heard Lina talk about the designs but never saw them with her
own eyes. Hence, the former could not imagine what they looked like.
