Natalie could only guess the design was pretty.
Now that she was actually looking at the pendant, she realized it was far prettier than she imagined.
Natalie nodded. “Lina has really put in a lot of effort. If an exquisite pendant like that was displayed in a jewelry store, it would definitely be the highlight.”
Shane hummed in agreement. “Connor's and Sharon's pendants are so beautiful. I bet Anders' is the same. The three pendants might cost several million altogether.”
“Say what?” Sharon exclaimed.
She might be young and had no concept of money, but she knew several million was a lot.
Connor's gaze shifted from the pendant to the adults. After giving it some thought, he said, “This is too expensive. Should we return them to Ms. Cohen?”
“I'll return mine, too,” Sharon chimed in.
Hearing that, Shane and Natalie exchanged glances with a smile.
Shane then patted their heads and assured them, “It's okay. She gave them to you, so you can keep them.”
“But it's too precious.” Connor frowned.
Returning the pendant to Connor's shirt pocket, Natalie said, “Don't worry. We'll take care of this matter. I promised her I'd give her baby a gift after she gives birth. Keep the pendant and take good care of it. Make sure you don't lose it.”
“Really?” Sharon gazed at Shane for verification.
Shane nodded. “Yes. We'll take care of this. Just accept the pendant if you like it. Don't worry. I'll make sure she won't suffer any losses.”
The children were relieved to hear that. Placing their pendants into their pockets happily, they chorused, “Thank you, Mommy, Daddy.”
Both Connor and Sharon had fallen in love with the gifts from the moment Lina gave them to the children as they found the pendants exceptionally pretty.
The pendants' value had never crossed the children's minds then.
That explained their panic when they heard the pendants cost several million. They feared they might bring their parents trouble for accepting such expensive gifts.
To the children's surprise, Shane and Natalie assured them there was nothing to worry about and that they should keep the gift.
Realizing they had done nothing wrong, Connor and Sharon felt relieved.
“You don't need to thank us. Instead, the person you should thank is Lina,” said Natalie while caressing the children's faces.
“Did you thank her?” Shane asked. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
The two children nodded in unison.
“Of course. We're good kids,” uttered Connor, thrusting his chin forward proudly.
Sharon clasped her hands together and nodded seriously. “Connor's right. We thanked her when we received the gift. Since Anders doesn't know how to say 'thank you' yet, we said it on his behalf.”
Natalie could not be prouder of them. “That's good. You two are such good children.”
“What about Anders? Is he not a good child?” asked Sharon.
Chuckling, Natalie answered, “Of course he is. It's just that he doesn't know how to talk yet, so I'm only praising you both.”
“Ah, I see.” Sharon nodded.
As Natalie rose to her feet, Shane followed suit.
There was pride in Shane's gaze as he gazed at his children. “Our kids grew up well.”
Not only were they polite, but they also had a proper worldview and shared sibling love.
Thus, Shane was proud of his children.
Natalie nodded in response to his words. “Yep.”
Shane wrapped an arm around her waist and whispered into her ear, “It's all thanks to you.”
Natalie could not help but retract her neck from the ticklish sensation. She then laughed and said, “Oh? All thanks to me? Didn't you help, too?”
Shane shook his head. “Not yet. You were the one who brought Connor and Sharon up while I never contributed as their father. So...”
