Natalie was stumped at first but regained her composure in mere seconds. She wrapped her hands around his neck and returned the kiss.
His eyes glinted with a smile when he noticed that she was reciprocating the kiss, and the man kissed back harder and only stopped when Natalie started to have trouble catching her breath.
“Let’s go.” Shane wiped the corners of his mouth and held her hand.
“My lips are all swollen,” Natalie grumbled.
“It’s going to subside soon,” Shane said as he peered at her lips.
“Hmph!” Natalie pouted and said nothing else.
They reached the Smith Residence after an hour.
The butler, Mr. Granger already stood anticipating Shane’s presence.
He hurriedly stepped forward to greet the man as soon as he spotted Shane’s car. “Mr. Shane, welcome.”
Shane paid no heed to the man. He got off the car and headed straight toward the passenger’s seat.
Mr. Granger looked at him quizzically.
Is there someone else in the car?
Who has the honor to let Mr. Shane open the door for them?
The person got off the car just when the butler was still wondering.
After registering her face, Mr. Granger’s jaw dropped at the sight of her, “Ms. Natalie?”
The man had not expected that the person in the car to be Natalie.
Why is she together with Mr. Shane?
One look at Mr. Granger’s expression, and Natalie knew that the man must be wondering how she was related to Shane.
“Mr. Granger, I haven’t seen you in a long time.” She gave the man a slight smile before taking Shane’s arm.
Mr. Granger knew what the woman’s gesture meant.
She’s trying to tell me that they’re an item.
Mr. Granger forced a smile. “Ms. Natalie. It has been some time. Welcome.”
Shane nudged his chin to acknowledge the butler and took Natalie inside.
