Natalie hummed in response.

Shane didn't even ask about her chat with Susan as he was uninterested. He merely placed his hand around her waist and guided her to his car.

“Mr. Shane, Nat, I'm going to give you both some space and head back on my own.”

Shane gave her a “good job” look.

Natalie caught sight of that and chuckled. Then, she fished out her car key from her purse and threw it to Joyce. “Here, take my car.”

“Thank you.” Joyce caught the key and nodded.

“It's okay. Don't sweat about it. It's just a small ceremony, not a big one. So, it doesn't matter even if we don't attend. Furthermore, I'm here now to pick you up, right?” Shane replied gently.
