Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 384

The reason for that was because the boy wanted to find out why their dad had abandoned their mommy!

Faced with the kids’ expectant gazes, Natalie opened her mouth but was at a loss for words. “Mommy doesn’t know as well,” she replied while stroking Sharon’s head apologetically.

What a liar!

Shane narrowed his eyes. He could easily tell that the woman was not speaking the truth.

Sharon started crying again as she clutched tightly onto Natalie’s collar. Burying her head into her mommy’s arms, the girl’s sobs grew louder. “Boohoo… I want my dad… I want my dad!”

Her daughter’s cries were like a dagger that pierced through Natalie’s heart, causing her much pain.

Just then, Connor clenched his tiny fists and looked at Natalie calmly while speaking, “Mommy, do you know why Sharon wants our dad so much?”

Natalie moved her lips and was about to answer before Connor spoke ahead of her, “Because today isn’t the first time Sharon heard other kids saying that we don’t have a dad.”

“What?” Natalie’s expression changed as a look of disbelief crossed her face.

Shane’s eyes flickered as well, as he pursed his lips.

Connor patted Sharon’s back lightly while explaining, “When we were overseas, other kids had both their parents sending them to school and fetching them, but not us. Those kids would always brag about the places they’ve been to with their dads but we didn’t have anything to share. As such, they always made fun of us for not having a dad.”

When Natalie heard that, she swayed on her feet and almost fainted.

Shane immediately stepped forward to steady her, preventing the woman from falling down.

“Why didn’t both of you tell your mommy about it?” Shane looked at Connor and asked the boy.

That was also what Natalie wanted to know. Holding her son’s hand, she said, “Exactly! Connor, why didn’t you tell me about it?”

Connor lowered his head and replied, “Because mommy is already having a hard time bringing us up. We don’t want mommy to be sad because of us.”

When Natalie heard that, she was deeply guilty for not being aware of what the kids had gone through instead of feeling glad to have two such sensible children. She felt bad that her two young kids had endured the bullying by other kids silently out of care for her.

Natalie was stunned for a moment before smiling in gratitude as she replied, “Thanks, Mr. Shane.”

“Please lead the way,” Shane said, raising his chin.

“Sure,” Natalie replied before carrying Sharon and started walking towards the kids’ bedroom.

When they reached the room, Natalie and Shane placed the two kids gently onto the bed and covered them with a blanket.

After that, Natalie gave Shane a look, indicating that the both of them should leave the room.

Shane nodded in understanding and followed the woman out of the room.

When they reached the living room, Shane looked at Natalie, who had sat down on the sofa and was rubbing her temples, and asked, “Why did you keep it from them and choose not to tell them who their father is?”

Natalie froze at the man’s questions. After a few seconds, she looked down and replied, “Because I don’t want to make things difficult for Connor and Sharon.”
