As she was walking back into the house, Mrs. Wilson came up to announce that dinner was ready.

Even though Shane had yet to come home, Natalie and the kids decided to go ahead and have their meal first.

However, it was their first time since moving to the villa that they were eating without Shane, so they couldn’t help but feel that something was out of place.

Natalie tried to listen in on the lesson but gave up when she felt a headache setting in from the information overload.
