"See what?" Shane asked absentmindedly as he read a financial report on his tablet.

"Sal and Mr. Campbell, of course. When I mentioned Sal replaceing someone for herself just now, she actually looked at Mr. Campbell, and he looked back at her! When their eyes met, they blushed so hard. It's really adorable. I think they have feelings for one another."

"Is that so?" Shane murmured, his attention fixed on the report. "I didn't notice."

He is never interested in other people's affairs. It's so boring to gossip with him!

Natalie pouted at his indifference. "You're no fun at all. I'll leave you to read while I go check on the kids."

Shane grunted, still absorbed in his reading.

Natalie let go of his arm and headed upstairs.

Soon, Natalie's life returned to its usual peaceful state. It was as though all of the troublemakers in her life were finally dealt with.

Before, there would always be news of her or Shane running into unpleasant circumstances.

However, over a month had passed without any sign of disturbances in their serene lives. It was as though Jacqueline and Sean were no longer existent.

Of course, it would be wishful thinking to hope for their disappearance. They must merely be biding their time somewhere in the shadows.

After all, Shane did not spare any expense in doubling the security around the villa. Sean would definitely not be foolish enough to attempt something under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards.

However, Natalie knew that it would be impossible for them to remain hidden for long. Her vigilance increased as she was constantly on the lookout for any nasty surprises.

One night, Natalie went downstairs for a drink after putting the children to bed to replace Sally seated on the couch while engaging in a conversation over the phone.

Suddenly, she smiled widely at something the other speaker said.

Natalie waited for her to hang up. "Was that Mr. Campbell?"

Sally nodded uncomfortably. "That's right. How did you know?"

Natalie laughed. "I could tell from the look of giddy love on your face. So are you guys officially a couple now?"

Sally was about to deny it but faltered under Natalie's knowing smile. "He called me yesterday to ask me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes," she explained as she blushed.

"That didn't take long! I caught a spark between the two of you just a month ago and now look where we are!" Natalie smiled widely.

Sally twirled her hair. "I didn't expect it too. I can't even recall when I started liking him and when he fell for me. We got together before I knew it."

"That's great. Mr. Campbell is a good man. You mustn't drool over other guys anymore, Sal," Natalie reminded her solemnly.

Since the competition, Sally had been keeping an eye out for foreign men and was close to some of them.

However, things were never serious with them. I just hope that Sally wouldn't hurt Silas after getting together with him.

Sally smiled. "Don't worry, Nat. I know what to do. I was just exploring my options while I was still single. Not anymore, though. I will be loyal to my boyfriend now." "I'm glad to hear that."

Sally slipped her phone back into her pocket and gazed at Natalie's belly. "You're six months in, aren't you? Time flies. Only three more months before the baby arrives, isn't it?" Natalie stroked her belly with a loving smile. "That's right."

"I want to be the baby's godmother," said Sally at once. "Don't let Joyce take my spot. She is already Connor and Sharon's godmother, so this one is mine."

Natalie was amused at her temerity. "Duly noted. I'll tell Joyce to back off."

"That's more like it." Sally smiled. As if reminded of something, she suddenly grew solemn. "Nat, are you nervous about the semi-finals?"
