Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
Chapter 694

Mrs. Wilson looked at Natalie in indignation. "Madam, we didn't even say much to her, yet she ran off crying as if we bullied her. Why is Ms. Graham behaving in this way? She wasn't like this last time, was she?"

Natalie, who was eating some fruits intently, merely smiled.

Jacqueline was different from her former self because Natalie hadn't appeared on the scene. There was no need for the woman then to portray herself as the damsel in distress.

Now that Natalie was here, Jacqueline saw her as a fellow competitor for the attention she craved. If the latter didn't emphasize her feeble side, no one would rush to protect her or even notice her.

"All right, Madam. It's getting late, and I should start preparing dinner. Sir should be back home in a while," Mrs. Wilson said, glancing at her phone. She stood up and headed towards the kitchen. Natalie was also eager to fetch Sharon and Connor back from school. She placed her fork neatly onto the plate, then got dressed and left the house.

It was still early when Natalie had finished bundling Sharon and Connor into the car.

She fished for her phone and dialed Shane's number.

The man answered almost immediately. Over the line, his deep voice said gruffly, "Hello?"

"Darling, have you ended work?" Natalie asked as she drove home.

In the back seat of the car, Sharon and Connor craned their necks forward eagerly, hoping to hear Shane's answer as well.

Shane looked at the stack of documents still sitting on his desk and massaged his brow. Wearily, he replied, "I might take a while."

"Shall I bring Sharon and Connor over to pick you up?" Natalie asked, glancing at her two children's eyes that had immediately brightened at her statement. Shane arched an eyebrow at that question. "You're coming to pick me up?"

"That's right. You've always been the one driving us around. It's our turn to pick you up today," Natalie declared gleefully.

Shane was intrigued by the novelty of her suggestion. "Sure. Come on over, then."

"OK! See you soon,” Natalie replied, then hung up.

Sharon clapped her hands together excitedly. "Mommy, are we really going to pick Daddy up?"

"That's right," Natalie said firmly while nodding.

"Yay! Let's go, Mommy!" Sharon cried out, brimming with joy.

Hearing that enthusiasm made Natalie smile, and she stepped on the accelerator, lurching the car forward.

At his office in the Thompson Group building, Shane put down his phone and called for Silas. "Prepare some children's snacks and toys," he ordered. "Snacks and toys?" Silas stared at Shane in bewilderment, then seemed to come to an understanding. "Are Connor and Sharon coming over?" "Yes," Shane said briefly.

"Got it. I'll go and prepare for that right away," Silas assured before he turned and left the room.

Shane lowered his head and buried himself in the documents before him once again.

Approximately half an hour later, Natalie and her children arrived at the Thompson Group building.

Sharon and Connor leaped out as soon as Natalie had parked her car and walked hand-in-hand with Natalie towards the elevator.

The elevator transported the trio swiftly to the top floor, where Shane's office was.

When Natalie, Sharon, and Connor exited the elevator, Silas was waiting there to welcome them.

"Mr. Campbell!" Sharon and Connor cried in unison, waving their hands frantically to him.

Smiling, Silas greeted them, "Welcome, here are some lollipops for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Campbell," the children chorused as they happily took the lollipops.

Sharon struggled with the sticky wrapper for a moment, then handed the lollipop over to Connor with a pout. "Help me, Connor!"

"You're so troublesome," Connor replied. He sounded annoyed but showed no reluctance in taking Sharon's lollipop and tearing its wrapper off carefully.

Meanwhile, Sharon eyed Connor like a hawk, as if afraid that he would take advantage of her vulnerability and eat her lollipop.

At the sight of her children's antics, Natalie's face relaxed. A smile hovered over her mouth.

"Mr. Campbell, thank you for being so thoughtful," she said graciously.

Silas immediately waved his hands humbly. "Please don't thank me, Madam. Mr. Shane was the one who had me prepare them for the children. I was merely the manager. Madam, would you like to head over to the office first?"

"All right," Natalie nodded. She took Sharon and Connor's hands and followed after Silas.

As it was their first visit to the office, Sharon and Connor looked around at their surroundings with visible awe and wonder on their faces.

"Mommy, this place is so beautiful!" Sharon exclaimed, her eyes widening.
