CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1756

Chapter 1756 Something Important

“I went downstairs to ask Lina what exactly she gave me. I could still ignore it when she's the only one acting mysterious. And now, you're acting the same way. It's making me curious, so I couldn't help but go find her.”

“Oh? Did you get that all figured out?” Shane asked teasingly.

Deep down, he knew that she had not asked the question.

If she had, she definitely would not be acting that way. Instead, her face would turn scarlet.

Sure enough, upon hearing the man's words, Natalie rolled her eyes at him. “If I had asked, would things still be like this?”

Shane merely chuckled.

Annoyed, Natalie said, “Go on and continue to keep things from me! You, Lina, and even Stanley are hiding things from me! It's driving me crazy!”

Upon hearing Stanley's name, the smile on Shane's face faded. “Does he also know what Lina has given?”

Natalie gave a hum of acknowledgment. “When I was coming up just now, I happened to meet him at the stairs. He was about to go out, so I had a brief chat with him. We talked about this matter, and he said he guessed what Lina had given me. But when I asked him, he wouldn't tell. He said that if he told me, you would hold him accountable.”

Upon hearing that, the dissatisfaction on Shane's face dissipated. “At least he knows his place.”

He, however, trusted Stanley.

In fact, it was not surprising that Stanley could guess it. After all, it was not hard to guess.

It was just that Natalie was too innocent; she would not think of such things. That was why she could not guess it.

If only she had slightly directed her thoughts in that direction, she would not be completely clueless.

Ah, my silly wife.

“What's with that look?” Natalie noticed the way the man was looking at her. Hence, she narrowed her eyes and walked toward him.

Shane curled his lips. “What look?”

“Are you hinting at something?” Natalie walked up to him, hands on her hips, glaring at him.

Shane raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Hinting at you? How did you figure that out?”

“I can see it with my own two eyes. You're calling me silly!” Natalie huffed.

Shane was truly surprised this time.

Unexpectedly, she actually managed to figure it out.

Seeing the surprise on the man's face, Natalie's cheeks turned red. “Oh, so you actually called me silly! Shane, you've gone too far. In what way am I silly?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing the woman's eyes turn red, Shane knew he had caused trouble. He quickly moved the laptop from his lap, stood up, and held her in his arms, gently coaxing, “All right, all right. I was wrong. I wasn't calling you silly. I was just thinking that my wife is innocently cute.”

“What does that mean?” Natalie blinked. “Why, are you also saying I'm naive?”

“Oh? Has someone else been calling you that, too?” Shane looked at her. “Was it Lina?” he added.

Natalie shook her head. “No, it was Stanley. I asked him what exactly Lina had given me, but he didn't tell me. Instead, he said I was simply too naive.”

“He's not wrong,” said Shane.

Natalie pursed her lips. “What does my gift to Lina have to do with my naivety?”

She did not understand it.

Seeing that she still had not caught on, Shane could not help but feel helpless. He had no choice but to tell her, “You'll understand tonight. When the evening comes, I'll show you the gift, and then you'll understand why we say you're naive.”

Natalie scoffed disdainfully. “I'm not interested in seeing it. You guys wouldn't let me see or tell me what it is. My curiosity has long since vanished, so I can't care less about whatever it is you're hiding.”

“You're really not going to look?” Shane narrowed his eyes.

“I won't!” Natalie replied firmly.

Shane teased her playfully, “Don't regret it later.”

Seeing his serious demeanor, Natalie straightened her back slightly. “What do you mean? Could it be an important thing?”

Shane snorted.

To her, it might not be important, but it was to him.

However, there was no way he could tell her that.

Seeing Shane keeping silent and only responding with a snort, Natalie became increasingly certain that she was right.

It's something important. I've got to see it.
