Natalie smiled at Shane and said, “Mr. Shane, please drink it. Mrs. Wilson took a long time to find this particular herbal tea for you.”

Shane shot a glance at her before turning to Mrs. Wilson. Wordlessly, he stared at the murky herbal tea with an expressionless face for a while, then lifted his head to gulp down the entire cup.

After that, Natalie took the cup from him and discreetly put something in his palm.

He was slightly taken aback. When he looked down, he saw a candy wrapped in blue paper.

Shane raised his eyebrows at Natalie.

Understanding what he meant, she winked at him and said, “Just eat it. It won’t be so bitter after that.”

Shane let out a wry smile.

She is really treating me like a child.

Somehow, this is quite amusing.

 

Shane lowered his gaze to hide the smile in his eyes before unwrapping the candy and putting it in his mouth.
