Chapter 143

Picking up the call, she heard Stanley’s anxious voice on the other side of the phone. “Nat, where are
you now?”

“I’m at home.” Natalie poured a glass of water for herself.

He heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. When Mr. Shane took you away, I thought he was going to do
something to you.”

After drinking some water, she laughed. “That’s impossible. Mr. Shane isn’t that kind of a person.”

“Do you trust him so much?” Without his glasses, Stanley squinted his eyes.

“Of course. I believe you too.” Natalie took a seat.

Reading between the lines, the man grasped the hidden meaning of her words. He rolled his eyes while
trying to sound her out. “Nat, did Mr. Shane tell you something?”

“Nothing much. I think he misunderstood that you were going to do something to me when he saw us
drinking together.” She chuckled.

“Do you believe what he said?” Gradually, he clutched his phone tightly.

“Didn’t I say it just now? I believe you.” She lay down on the couch, stretching herself comfortably.

Stanley loosened his grip. A meaningful grin appeared on his face.

“By the way, Stanley, what exactly happened just now? Why did Mr. Shane take me away?” Natalie
asked while staring at the ceiling

Stanley sighed with a rueful smile. “You were drunk, so I wanted to send you home after paying for the
bill. But Mr. Shane showed up and accused me of getting you drunk with an ill intention. In the end, he



took you away from me.”

“I see.” She nodded in acknowledgement.

Stanley forced a helpless laugh. “I don’t know why he misunderstood me. I’ve known you for years. Why
would I do that to you? In fact, I was worried that he might do something to you when he took you away,
so I kept calling and texting you. I’m glad that you’re fine.”

At his words, a warm and fuzzy feeling overflowed in her heart.

This misunderstanding is hilarious. It all started because Stanley and Shane were worried that something
bad might happen to me.

Deep in thought, Natalie turned to look at the door, as if she could see through it at the man staying
opposite her unit.

The two chatted for a while before ending the call. Then the woman headed to her room to sleep.

The next morning, Natalie got up early to prepare breakfast.

Afterward, she woke the kids up and asked them to invite Shane over for breakfast.

The two kids agreed with cheers.

However, two minutes later, the kids came back with dejected looks on their little faces.

“Mommy, Mr. Shane is not in,” Sharon mumbled.

Standing in front of the dining table, Natalie heard them, and her hands froze while removing her apron.
Then she pulled herself together and said, “Perhaps he left the house. It’s alright, let’s eat. Mommy will
send you to school after breakfast.”



“Okay.” The two nodded in unison.

Later, Natalie drove Shane’s car and sent the two kids to kindergarten. She then went to a 4S dealership
store to clean the car.

While waiting, she heard a familiar voice. “Warren, which car would you like to buy?”

It’s Susan.

Natalie turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw Susan and Warren walking arm in arm into
the store. The woman had a disgustingly complaisant and feminine demeanor.

“I want to buy a Bentley.” Warren stroked the woman’s hair.

Susan seemed troubled, biting her lips. “But Bentley is too expensive. I can’t afford it. You know the
Smith Group is facing some problems with the cash flow…”

“I don’t care. You said you will buy me a car. I don’t mind asking for one from your husband then.”

At last, she had no choice but to go outside to make a call.

After she walked away, Warren looked around avariciously. His eyes lit up when he saw Natalie sitting in
the lounge. He marched over to her and asked, “Miss, are you the salesperson here?”

“What?” Natalie was bewildered that he suddenly approached her. Hearing his question, she glanced
down to size herself up.
