Natalie went silent and only nodded after a while. “You're right. Sure. We'll go there after my competition.”

Suddenly, Connor asked, “Daddy, Mommy, are we going to see Aunt Joyce?”

Natalie caressed his head and answered, “Yes.”

“That's great!” The kids clapped excitedly. “We haven't seen Aunt Joyce in such a long time. We miss her!”

“Do you miss Uncle Stanley as well?” Natalie asked. No matter what, Stanley is still the kids' godfather. He became our savior when he pulled the kids and me back from the gates of death.

At that time, Natalie believed in fate, so she had Stanley become her kids' godfather. Stanley will be their godfather for the rest of their lives. Besides, I believe that since Stanley had rescued the kids before, he's their guardian angel. In other words, the kids will always be under Stanley's protection.

Regardless of who Stanley had become, he would always be the children's godfather.

Connor and Sharon suddenly fell silent when they heard Natalie's question, and they were no longer as excited as they were.

Seeing that, Natalie and Shane exchanged glances.


“What's the matter with the both of you?” Shane asked.

“Mommy, will we see Uncle Stanley when we visit Aunt Joyce?” Connor asked.

Although Sharon was keeping mum, she was staring at her parents and waiting for the answer.

“Of course. Since they're both there, you'll surely see both of them at once.” Natalie nodded.

“I don't want to see Uncle Stanley, though.” Sharon lowered her head unhappily.

Connor, on the other hand, pursed his lips in silence.

It was obvious that neither of the kids wanted to see Stanley.

Upon seeing the kids' reactions, Natalie approached them and hugged them. In a gentle tone, she asked, “May I know what's wrong?”

Sharon lifted her head and replied fearfully, “Uncle Stanley is scary.”

Connor nodded as well.

“Mommy, Uncle Stanley is no longer the person we used to know. Back then, he loved us and treated us well. Now, he's a scary man,” Sharon added.

“Children have always been perceptive of what's happening around them.” Shane walked up to Natalie and the kids to hug them.

“I know, but Stanley's relationship with the kids isn't that simple.” Natalie sighed.

In response, Shane snorted and uttered, “I only let the kids see him because you told me he was their godfather and saved your lives.”

After all, Stanley had harmed the kids before.
