As comprehension dawned on Natalie, she asked, “So you're carrying me back to our room now?”
“Yup.” Shane nodded.
Feeling amused, the woman replied, “Why would you do that? I had specially planned to sleep in their room
tonight.”
“If you stay with the kids, who's going to accompany me?” the man said, looking down at her.
Meeting her husband's deep-set gaze, Natalie rolled her eyes and answered, “Are you jealous of the kids now?
Haven't I been accompanying you every day?”
“Yeah but that's not enough! I'm jealous of them indeed,” Shane replied without hesitation. “You're my wife, so
naturally, you should be by my side every day. As such, you have to be punished for not informing me beforehand
that you'll be sleeping with the kids. How are you going to make up for it?”
“Make up for it?” the woman blinked her eyes a few times before continuing, “What do you have in mind?”
Carrying Natalie in his arms, Shane entered their bedroom before kicking the door shut behind him. When he
reached the bed, he suddenly released his hands, dropping the woman onto the bed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the bed was soft enough, falling onto the bed would not injure Natalie, and nor would it be painful for her.
However, she did get a shock.
Shaking her head to clear her dizziness, she looked at the man and questioned angrily, “What are you doing?”
“Are you really asking me that?” Shane yanked off his necktie and tossed it into the air.
After the necktie fell onto the ground, the man bent forward and whispered into his wife's ear in a hoarse voice,
“What do you think I'm doing?”
Natalie's lips twitched upon hearing that as she finally understood what Shane meant.
So that's what he meant by punishing me...
“You haven't been spending much time with me lately. Be prepared for a sleepless night tonight.”
After saying that, Shane started nibbling Natalie's earlobes...
Indeed, the man had kept his promise of giving Natalie a sleepless night. The woman was forced to stay awake the
entire night, and she was being prevented from passing out.
That was because when Shane noticed that the woman couldn't take it anymore, he immediately took measures to
prevent her from sleeping or fainting. As such, Natalie was tortured by the man for the entire night. He was only
willing to let her off when dawn broke.
While the woman slept, Shane got out of the bed and headed toward the bathroom, feeling more energetic than
ever.
Judging by the way he looked, one would never be able to tell that he had not slept and had been exercising all
night. Instead, he appeared to be in peak form.
After taking a shower, Shane changed into his sports attire and left the room quietly, heading outside for a jog.
When Natalie woke up, it was already ten a.m..
By then, Shane had already started working at Thompson Group.
A blush spread across the woman's cheeks as she noticed the traces of their “battle” on both her body and the bed.
When she recalled those new styles Shane had made her try the previous night, she covered her face in
embarrassment and took a while to compose herself. After she calmed down, she got out of the bed and went to
wash up.
Right after Natalie finished washing up and left the bathroom, her phone rang.
The woman immediately put down the clothes that she was about to change into and walked toward the bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSitting down on the edge of the bed, she picked up her phone that was lying on the bedside table. When she saw
the name on the caller ID, she answered at once. “Hello, Detective Flores.”
“Good morning, Mrs. Thompson,” the man greeted politely.
Natalie asked at once, “Detective Flores, did you manage to find anything on what I asked you to investigate
yesterday?”
On the other end of the line, the detective shook his head before answering, “I'm sorry, Mrs. Thompson. I've
conducted a thorough check on Ms. Rivers' recent activities, but everything seems normal. She does not appear to
be in any trouble.”
“Nothing?” Natalie frowned.
How could there be nothing?
It's obvious that something happened. Otherwise, why would Joyce seem so worried and apologetic?
Sensing the woman's thoughts, Asher shook his head and said, “Mrs. Thompson, there's indeed nothing. For the
past few days, Ms. Rivers had not met anyone at all. However, three days ago, she did seem to have a change in
mood and was rather emotional.”
“Three days ago? What happened three days ago?” Natalie asked.
From what she remembered, three days ago was the day when Joyce went to look for Stanley to tell him who the
real killer was.
