“Okay.” Natalie nodded happily.

She felt bad leaving her drunk mother alone in her apartment, so Shane took Yulia back to the villa. He even asked Martha to tidy up the guest room beforehand.

“Mommy, what's wrong with Grandma?” Sharon asked while she hugged Shane around the neck.

Natalie ruffled her hair and replied, “Grandma is drunk.”

“I see.” Sharon nodded in acknowledgment. Then she tapped Shane on the shoulder. “Daddy, put me down.”

He immediately hunched over and did as told.

“Aright, but don't run. You might fall.”

“Okay.” The little girl didn't bother to give her mother a backward glance.

“Really?” Her eyes lit up.
