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.”

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.
