“But we have no leads at all.” Silas looked at him helplessly.
At this, Shane lowered his eyes and then plunged into deep thought as he deliberated where his grandfather could
have kept the will.
However, after racking his brains for a long while, he was still left with no inkling.
The will can't be at any of all those places, for Sean can definitely think of them if I can do so. And he might have
even rummaged through them all! Therefore, the will must be someplace else!
“Have some tea.” At this time, Natalie came out of the kitchen with tea.
Jolting out of his thoughts, Shane lifted his eyes and ordered, “Go back first. I'll try my best to think of a lead.”
“Okay.” Silas nodded.
Meanwhile, Natalie was bending down to pour the tea into the glass. “You're already leaving, Mr. Campbell? But I've
just made tea.”
“It's okay, Ms. Smith. I've still got something to do, so I'll get on with it first instead of intruding on you and Mr.
Shane.” After saying that, Silas flashed her a meaningful smile before he spun around and left.
Noticing the suggestiveness in the final glance he threw her, Natalie couldn't help but blush again.

now. Shall we retire?”
“Of course. In that case, are you...”
Before Natalie had even finished speaking, Shane was already walking toward her room.
At that sight, Natalie was instantly stunned. When she'd snapped back to her senses, she quickly trotted after him.
“You're planning to stay overnight at my place, Shane?”
Shane, however, went straight to her bed and parked his butt down. “Do you have any objections?”
Natalie opened her mouth to utter a resolute protest, but in the face of his profound gaze, her words got stuck in
her throat.
Never mind, I'll just let him stay overnight since he wants to do so. We're now together anyway, and we're both
adults, so it seems rather unreasonable to refuse him.
Thus, she sighed in resignation. She then walked over to the closet and took out a new bath towel for him. “Go and
take a shower. I'll go and ask Mrs. Wilson for your pajamas.”
“Okay.” Shane took the bath towel from her.
Subsequently, Natalie left the room and went to the apartment right opposite hers.
After learning about the purpose of her visit, Mrs. Wilson promptly snagged a set of pajamas and a set of formal
wear Shane would be wearing the next day from his closet, handing them both to her.
Holding the two bags of clothes, Natalie then went back to her apartment.
An hour later, her nerves were frayed as she lay on the bed, and her body was as stiff as a board.
As this was her first time sleeping with Shane while starkly sober, the feeling of uneasiness and even a hint of
apprehension held her captive.
Naturally, Shane noticed her trepidation. Knowing that she needed time to get used to him, he didn't touch her that
night, merely hugging her as he slumbered.
Despite that, Natalie's nerves remained stretched taut. It was only in the wee hours of the morning that she was
finally defeated by fatigue and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
As she ambled out of the bedroom while musing her messy hair, she was greeted by the sight of the two children
and Shane having breakfast at the dining table.
As soon as the two children spotted her, they waved at her enthusiastically. “Morning, Mommy!”
“Morning!” After flashing them a warm smile, Natalie shifted her gaze to the man, who was wiping Sharon's mouth
for her. “Good morning.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShane nodded in acknowledgment. “Wash up quickly and come have breakfast.”
“Okay,” Natalie murmured, then strolled toward the bathroom.
Soon, they were done with breakfast, and they then sent the two children to kindergarten.
Only when the two children had been led away by the kindergarten teacher did they climb back into the car.
While fastening his seatbelt, Shane asked, “Where do you want to go next? Your studio?”
Patting her handbag, Natalie shook her head. “Nope. I want to go to the hospital first.”
Upon hearing that, Shane immediately pieced the puzzle together and glanced at her handbag. “You've gotten the
hair samples?”
“I got them yesterday afternoon,” Natalie answered with a bright smile.
Shane nodded slightly in response. “I'll go with you.”
As his words fell, he started the car.
An hour later, they arrived at the hospital.
Upon their arrival, Shane headed straight to Jackson's office with Natalie.
The moment Jackson saw them holding hands, he was so shocked that his glasses slipped off. “Y-You two...”
Jumping to his feet, he pointed at Natalie and Shane's interlinked hands. Seemingly an eternity passed before he
could finally complete his utterance. “You two are now dating?”
