Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 57

Mom?

Natalie paused in shock as she never thought that Shane would be calling his mom in his sleep.

His parents had passed away when he was young.

However, the cause of their death was a mystery that had never been revealed to the public.

“Okay, I’m not leaving.” Natalie patted him gently on his hand and coaxed him as if he was a child.

As a mother, Natalie was deeply moved by the yearning Shane had for his mom. Initially, she planned to wake him up, but she dismissed the idea soon after.

Perhaps he is reuniting with his mom in his dream.

Perhaps Shane heard Natalie as he began to calm down. But he was still holding her hand tightly, not letting go of her.

Even the slightest bit of movement caused Shane to tighten his grip promptly. It was as though he was afraid that she would disappear the moment he loosened his grip.

Natalie chuckled bitterly and had no choice but to wait. She repeatedly yawned until the wee hours of the night, but Shane was still holding her hand tightly. Finally, weighed down by exhaustion, Natalie fell asleep on the sofa.

By the time she woke up the next day, she found that she was lying in Shane’s embrace. A chill ran down her spine.

But soon, she managed to calm herself down. With a sense of guilt, Natalie hopped out of his arms slowly, trying not to make a noise because she didn’t want to wake Shane up. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to explain herself out of the mess.

“Phew…” Natalie patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she was on the ground. She tiptoed and went out of his room.

But not too long after she left, Shane woke up.

He felt heavy-headed and held his forehead. Then, looking at the pink blanket that had slid off, his gaze instantly darkened.

However, the next second, he picked the blanket up and walked toward the bathroom as if nothing happened.

Just as he finished his shower, the phone on the coffee table vibrated.

As he dried his hair, he reached out to his phone and placed it beside his ear. Then, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Shane, you got it right. It was indeed Sean’s idea to claim the land where Mr. David’s grave is,” Silas reported.

Shane’s eyes narrowed into a slit on hearing that and asked, “What is his motive?”

“According to the information collected by the land surveyor I sent, it seems like there are crystals to be mined beneath the land,” Silas answered.

“A crystal mine?” Shane paused for a second. Then he sneered, “I see! Send someone to spy on them. If they intend to destroy Grandpa’s grave, cut their arms off!”

He would never allow anyone to destroy his grandfather’s grave!

“Got it!” Silas answered.

Shane threw the towel away and asked, “Is there anything else?”

Silas answered after hesitating for quite some time, “One more thing, but I’m not too sure about it. The man we sent to spy on Sean said they couldn’t find any trace of him these days. I’m guessing maybe he has returned back to the country, but he’s in hiding.”

Hearing that, a ray of light flashed across Shane’s eyes. “Find him then!” he yelled.

“Yes, Mr. Shane!” Silas answered.

After the phone call, Shane picked up the blanket on the sofa and walked toward the opposite apartment.

Ring! The doorbell rang. Natalie heard it, but she was helping Sharon to wash her face at that time. “Connor, I can’t leave right now. Help me to open the door please.” She turned towards the bathroom door and spoke to Connor. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Okay,” Connor answered obediently and put down his Rubik’s Cube. Then, after jumping off the sofa, he ran toward the door and opened it.

When he looked up at the man standing outside, he was so surprised that his jaw dropped. “Mr. Shane, what makes you come here?” Connor asked in astonishment.

Shane lowered his head and looked at the little guy. Then, his gaze softened as he asked, “Where’s your Mommy?”

“Mommy is inside. Please come in, Mr. Shane.” Connor pointed to the living room and moved aside slightly so he could enter.

Shane nodded in response and said, “Sorry to bother you.”

On entering the house, Connor faced the direction of the bathroom and called out, “Mommy, Mr. Shane is here.”

Instantly, Natalie’s voice came from the bathroom. “Connor, help me attend to him.”

“Okay,” Connor responded. Shortly after, he patted the sofa and said, “Mr. Shane, please sit. Mommy will be here shortly.”
