CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

All at once, disgruntlement inundated Shane.

So what if I'm in my thirties? I'm not old! Why is she making it sound as though I'm an old and grizzled man?

“I'm not an old man! You'll be getting it when you've delivered the little one in your stomach,” Shane threatened as he narrowed his eyes at the woman on the screen.

Usually, Natalie would certainly laugh at such a remark before flushing bright red.

Right then, however, she couldn't force any laughter or even a blush. She lowered her eyes, the despondency hovering over her plainly visible.

Noticing that something was amiss, Shane's brows knitted together. “What's wrong?”

“Shane, I...” Natalie looked him in the eye. She wanted to tell him about the baby, but she simply couldn't utter the words that were right on the tip of her tongue.

As his expression turned tender, Shane prompted in encouragement, “It's fine. Just tell me whatever it is you want to say, for I'll always back you up.”

Upon hearing that, a wealth of warmth infused Natalie. Yet, it was also tinged with sorrow.

Sniffling, she lifted her head slightly and forced her tears back. In a choked voice, she blurted, “I'm sorry, Shane, but our baby might not make it.”
