Chapter 1729 Admitting Faults
“It won't be cold in a little while,” said Natalie with a smile.
Shane held her hand tightly and replied, “Let's go in first.”
“All right.” Natalie nodded.
The couple held hands as they entered the villa.
Upon entering the villa, the cold wind from outside was completely blocked off, and Natalie no longer felt cold.
She wanted to remove the coat, but as soon as Shane noticed her movement, he immediately held her shoulders to stop her. “Keep it on, you can take it off later. Removing it now might cause you to catch a cold,” said Shane.
Shane spoke so sincerely, so how could Natalie go against his good intentions? Besides, this was him showing concern for her.
So Natalie smiled, put down her hand, and didn't remove the coat.
Upon seeing that, Shane finally released her shoulders with satisfaction. He pulled her along to sit on the couch and then called for the housekeeper.
“Sir, may I help you with anything?” asked the housekeeper respectfully as he approached the two, hands clasped in front of his abdomen.
Shane parted his thin lips slightly and softly instructed, “Prepare hot toddy for Mrs. Thompson.”
“Huh? Hot toddy?” interrupted Natalie before the servant could respond,
Her beautiful little face was scrunched up, clearly showing her reluctance to drink that hot toddy.
However, Shane looked at her with an expression that left no room for objection and insisted, “You must drink it. You were outside in the cold for a while. Drinking hot toddy will warm you up and it's good for you.”
“But...” said Natalie who still wanted to say something, to try to persuade Shane to give up the idea of her drinking hot toddy.
However, the man didn't give her a chance at all. He gently flicked her forehead and said, “No acting cute, you must drink it. There's no room for negotiation.”
After speaking, he gestured to the housekeeper with a nod of his chin and instructed, “Go ahead and do it.”
“Yes, sir,” said the housekeeper as he glanced at Natalie, a hint of amusement in his eyes, before turning and heading to the kitchen.
Natalie caught the hint of amusement in the housekeeper's eyes and pouted at Shane and whined, “It's all your fault, the housekeeper was laughing at me just now.”
Shane's thin lips slightly curled up as he said, “Who told you to act like a child, trying to be sneaky and acting cute just to avoid drinking hot toddy?”
“Who's being sneaky? Who's acting cute? I'm not!” retorted Natalie with her eyes wide open.
