Upon leaving the prison, Natalie fished out her phone and saved the conversation she had with Alice. Then, she got into her car and drove to the kindergarten to pick the two children up.

After picking them up, she dialed Shane's number to ask what time he was getting off work.

Glancing at the documents in front of him which needed his urgent attention, Shane's face grew as dark as ink. “I think I'll be back late tonight.”

He had already passed a lot of his work to Silas so that he could leave earlier.

Unfortunately, some urgent documents which had to be dealt with immediately were sent from abroad.

Thus, he probably had to work overtime.

Natalie chuckled upon hearing his grumpy voice. “It's okay. I'll wait for you.”

“Mm-hmm. I'll call you when I'm done.” Shane's expression softened along with his tone.

Natalie nodded. “Okay.”

With that, she tucked her phone away and put the car into drive.
