However, this time he had his entire family with him.
Two hours have passed after they've paid their respect.
Then, Shane, Natalie, and the kids left the shrine.
Silas was waiting outside for some time now and hurried over when he saw the family emerging from the shrine.
“Mr. Shane.”
“What is it?” Shane asked calmly.
“Mrs. Thompson wants to see you.” Silas sighed.
“She wants to see me?” Shane narrowed his eyes.
Silas nodded. “Yes, it seems like she wants to have a word with you.”
Natalie took hold of Sharon, who lay in Shane's arms, when she noticed the frown on Shane's face. “Go ahead.
Perhaps she has something important to tell you.”
“All right, I'll make it quick. I'll have Silas take you all to my old room while I'm gone.' Shane rubbed his temples.

Both Connor and Sharon waved their little hands. “Goodbye, Daddy.”
“Come back soon! Mommy, Sharon, and I will be waiting,” Connor added.
Shane stared at them as his heart was filled with warmth. He nodded gently. “All right, I'll be back in no time.”
Then, he headed toward the other direction.
Silas glanced at Natalie and offered to lend a hand. “Madam, why don't you hand me one of the kids?”
He stretched out his hands as he stared at Sharon with longing eyes.
Mr. Shane's kids are so adorable, and I've always wanted to hold them in my arms. However, I've never gotten a
chance to. But my time has come, and I won't let this opportunity slip away this time!
Natalie knew what he was thinking and chuckled. “You seem like you've wanted to do this for a long time now. So,
why don't you get married and have a child of your own?”
“That's not possible. I don't even have a girlfriend.” Silas smiled awkwardly.
“Then, hurry up and get one!” Natalie responded.
Silas scratched his head. “That's challenging, and I don't know if I'm ready for that. Madam, please allow me to
carry either of them.”
“All right, but I'll have to ask them.”
Natalie lowered her head, and she eyed Connor and Sharon. “So, which one of you would like to give Mr. Campbell
a chance to carry you?”
“Not me. I'm far too old for that. Perhaps Sharon would like to.” Connor waved his hand.
Sharon loved the idea of someone carrying her in their arms. Hence, she instantly nodded and stretched out her
hands in Silas' direction. “Carry me, Mr. Campbell.”
Silas's eyes shone in excitement as he quickly carried Sharon in his arms.
As they made their way to the room, Silas and Sharon were giggling and laughing as they followed Natalie from
behind.
Natalie led Connor in the front and would look back from time to time to check on them. She couldn't help but
chuckle at the sight of them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI guess I should remind Shane to give Silas some time off. That way, he'd have time to date and start a relationship.
After all, he's in his thirties already.
On the other hand, Shane arrived at Sean's living quarters in the Thompson residence.
He noticed Catherine was standing by the door as the bodyguard stopped her from leaving the room. Shane stood
before her and asked coldly, “What do you want?”
“Shane, could you please let me go?” Catherine begged.
Shane frowned. “Let you go?”
“Yes, I didn't do anything. It was all Sam's fault. You can't do this to me. I want my freedom,” Catherine pleaded.
“I know you didn't do anything, and I do have plans to let you off. However, it is not the right time yet,” Shane
replied emotionlessly.
Catherine's eyes glimmered with hope when she heard his words, but the glimmer was instantly diminished when
he said she had to wait. “So, when would that be?”
“The moment Sam dies,” Shane answered.
Catherine shuddered at the thought of it.
After Sam's death? Only God knows when he will die! What if he dies after two years? Doesn't that mean I'd be
trapped here for another two years?
Catherine couldn't accept it as she stretched out her hand to grab Shane's arm.
