Indeed, Natalie failed to consider the fact that it was a public space.

Well, this is all Shane's fault for insisting on kissing me. He turned my head with his kiss, and all thought fled my mind!

Wrapping an arm around Natalie's waist, Shane regarded Lina icily. “Even if this is a public space, you can pretend that you didn't see anything, no?”

At that, the corners of Lina's mouth twitched. “Mr. Thompson, I naturally could've pretended not to see anything, but we're not the only ones in this villa. There are still two kids. If it were just us, I would've pretended not to have seen anything even if you had both stripped down to your birthday suits. But there are still kids. What if they happened to come downstairs when you two took things further?”

Her words hit Natalie like a bucket of cold water.

At once, she straightened. “That's right! The kids are also here.”

“That was why I interrupted you both. Imagine the mortification if it weren't me who made an appearance here but the kids,” Lina elaborated, bobbing her head.

Natalie swung her gaze to Shane. “This is all on you!”

Quirking a brow, Shane chortled. “Yes, this is all on me.”

“Hmph!” Natalie turned away without entertaining him any further. Instead, she trained her eyes on Lina. “Thank you for earlier, Lina.”

If she hadn't appeared and snapped us back to reality just now, perhaps Shane and I would have really gotten it on without any qualms. After all, it's truly difficult to retain any sanity when in the throes of passion.

“Don't mention it. All right, I'm going to the kitchen. Go back to your room if you two wish to continue and take things further. Don't do it in the living room.” Having said that, Lina waved a hand and headed toward the kitchen.

“Don't mention it. All right, I'm going to the kitchen. Go back to your room if you two wish to continue and take things further. Don't do it in the living room.” Having said that, Lina waved a hand and headed toward the kitchen.

When she had left, Shane gazed at Natalie lazily with a hand propped against his head. “Did you hear that? Let's go back to the room.”

“No way! Don't dream of picking up where we left off!” Natalie shot him a glare.

“Why?” Shane questioned.

Alas, Natalie shot to her feet. “I'm no longer in the mood. Okay, let's end this conversation here. I'm going to give Joyce a call.”

As her words fell, she took out her phone and walked toward the balcony.

Staring at her back, Shane shrugged in mild regret.

Oh well, it looks like I really wouldn't be able to pick up where we left off earlier.

On the balcony, Natalie rang Joyce up.

Coincidentally, it was morning at Joyce's place. For that reason, Joyce answered the phone no sooner had the call connected.

“Good morning, Nat.” Joyce's voice drifted over, tinged with a hint of happiness.
