“So it really is her.” Natalie's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Lina held up her cup and took a sip of water. “You need to be careful, Nat. Hannah should still be back in our
country, yet she's suddenly here! Besides, this place is near our competition venue earlier on. My guess is that she's
gunning for you.”
Natalie nodded slightly. “I know. Thank you, Lina. Still, did you see where she went after that?”
“I saw her when I exited the restroom, but she didn't know me, so I didn't hide. I followed her to the other side and
saw her enter a private room. The second one on the second floor.” Lina pointed upward.
Natalie raised her head to see where it was and smiled. “Got it. Let's ignore her for now. Once we return, I'll ask
Dave and the others to keep an eye on her.”
Dave was the leader of her bodyguards.
Upon hearing that, Lina put down her cup. “Sure. Just be careful.”

They then stopped chatting and started eating.
By the time their meal was over, the skies were already dark outside.
Lina initially suggested they go shopping, but Natalie declined as it was getting pretty late, and she wanted to chat
with her children.
The children had fallen asleep waiting for her last night, so she didn't want the same thing to happen again.
With that, Lina had no choice but to go alone.
On the other hand, Natalie returned to the villa with her two bodyguards.
On the way there, she gave Shane a video call.
Shane just so happened to have returned to Thompson villa. When he saw the call, he immediately summoned the
two children downstairs.
“Is it from Mommy, Daddy?” Connor asked as he held Sharon's hand and descended the stairs.
Shane nodded slightly. “Yes, come over here quickly.”
“Coming.” Sharon promptly flung her brother's hand away and dashed toward Shane. Then she hugged her father's
arm and tried to take the phone away.
“Slow down.” Shane was worried his daughter would trip herself accidentally while taking the phone, so he
stretched out his arm, carried her up, and put her on his thighs. “Here you go. Hold it tight.”
Having said that, he put the phone into her hand.
Sharon nodded. “Mhm. Don't worry, Daddy. I won't fall. Come over here quickly, Connor. Let's say hello to Mommy.”
“I'm coming.” Connor smiled and quickened his steps.
The siblings pressed their faces against each other and looked into the camera before answering the call.
Once the video call connected, Natalie saw her children's adorable faces. Her heart immediately melted. “My
babies.”
“Mommy!” the children exclaimed in unison.

“We miss you too, Mommy. Daddy too! He misses you a lot!” Sharon uttered before placing the phone in front of
Shane.
When Natalie saw Shane, she said, “I miss you too, Darling.”
Shane smiled faintly, apparently in a good mood.
In the end, Sharon shifted the phone in front of herself and her brother again. “Why didn't you call Daddy last night,
Mommy? Connor and I waited for you for so long that we fell asleep!”
While saying that, she pouted aggrievedly.
Connor nodded in the affirmative. “That's right, Mommy.”
An apologetic expression appeared on Natalie's face. “I'm sorry, Darlings. I was too busy yesterday, so I could only
call Daddy very late at night. I also didn't know you two were waiting for me. Otherwise, I would've called earlier.
Don't worry, though. I won't wait until that late again to call. I'll do my best to make the calls as early as possible in
the future, okay?”
“Okay.” Sharon nodded happily while Connor smiled.
