CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1728 Apology And Understanding

Just as she reached the last step, the car's rear door was opened. Shane, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, stepped out of the vehicle. His handsome and noble appearance was captivating, making it impossible to look away.

Natalie stopped in front of him and looked up at him. Her red lips moved slightly as if she was about to say something.

Suddenly, Shane grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him. Then, he tightly embraced her in his arms.

Natalie's eyes widened, clearly startled by his actions.

But soon, she came to her senses. Her body relaxed and she raised her hands, embracing him back.

Shane felt Natalie's response, and his thin lips curved slightly. He hugged her tighter, resting his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, “I'm back.”

His voice was slightly hoarse.

Having not heard his voice for many days, Natalie's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the urge to cry as she said, “Mmm, it's good to have you back.”

Although she wasn't crying, her voice was somewhat choked up.

Upon hearing Shane's words, it was clear he understood the recent cold war between them had caused her to be aggrieved.

Feeling even more guilty and remorseful, Shane gently rubbed his chin against her shoulder, his tone sounded sincerely apologetic as he said, “I'm sorry for upsetting you these past few days.”

Upon hearing this, the pang in Natalie's heart intensified, and tears finally overflowed from her eyes.

But she shook her head, smiling as she replied, “No, it's just that I was being willful. I simply assumed that staying with you was the right thing to do, without considering the trouble it might cause you or how it might hold you back.”

“No,” said Shane as he gently pushed her away, looking at her face, and added earnestly, “You've never held me back. I've never felt that you've held me back. I asked you to leave not because I'm afraid you'll get me into trouble, but because I don't want anything to happen to you. If something happens to you, I won't be able to go on living.”

Hearing the man's heartfelt confession, Natalie laughed through her tears and said, “All right, I won't let anything happen to me. I'll be here with the children, waiting for you to return. But you have to promise me that nothing will happen to you. Otherwise, I'll remarry immediately, taking your three children, and letting them call another man Daddy. If that man bullies your children, I won't care. I mean what I said.”

She looked at him with a threatening expression.

However, Shane understood that she was only saying this, and even if he couldn't come back in the end, she wouldn't actually do it.

She would carry on living with their children, thinking of him every day, and perhaps, when the children were grown, she would follow him.

Of course, even knowing in his heart that this was the case, he couldn't respond as if he agreed with her words.

If not, she would be mad at him.

“All right,” said Shane as he hugged Natalie and nodded. “I promise to return safe and sound to you all.”

“That's what I want to hear,” said Natalie. Hearing Shane's promise, she finally put her heart at ease and smiled.

In the shadows, the housekeeper saw the two embracing each other, witnessing their reconciliation and the restoration of their relationship. The housekeeper smiled contentedly and nodded as they quietly left, leaving the couple undisturbed in their space.

Even Silas stayed quietly in the car, not daring to get out or drive away, fearing that any noise he made would disturb the atmosphere between the couple.

So, Silas could only obediently sit in the car, take out his phone, and chat with Sally. He gossiped with Sally about the cold war between Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and how they had eventually made up.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, a cold breeze blew again.

Natalie couldn't help but shiver.

After Shane felt it, he let her go before looking at her with a frown and asking, “Why did you come out wearing so little?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Because I wanted to see you,” said Natalie with a smile as she looked at the man.

Shane couldn't help but become serious. After sighing lightly, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Shane's suit still retained his body heat. As soon as Natalie had it on, she felt warm all over her body.

Shane gently held her hand and lightly squeezed it as he said, “Your hand still feels cold.”
