After all, she felt that it would be too awkward to continue speaking as if she were giving him a monologue.

Thankfully, they arrived at the kindergarten in no time.

The two kids hopped onto the car with merry smiles as they greeted, “Daddy! Mommy!”

“Daddy, Mommy. Why are you guys so late today? You picked us up half an hour later than usual,” Connor asked while looking at his smartwatch.

Sharon hadn't been paying attention to the time, so she hadn't realized that her parents were late. Now that her brother had blatantly pointed it out, she mirrored his sentiments and nodded enthusiastically.

Natalie cast an apologetic look at her kids. “I'm really sorry. Daddy was a little busy at work today, so we got here late.”

At once, the kids nodded and let out an understanding hum.

Then, Connor spoke up, “Daddy doesn't have to pick us up if he's busy. He should focus on working hard.”

“Mmm-hmm!” Sharon nodded in agreement.

A bittersweet feeling arose in Shane, curdling uncomfortably in his chest as he looked at the thoughtful children through his rear-view mirror.

He was happy to know that the children cared greatly for his well-being and career.

Yet, he felt bitter because he had no idea how he would face the children if Natalie's mother was truly responsible for his parents' death.
