Shane looked Natalie right in the eye. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to defend her, but I suddenly realized that I didn’t really know her all that well. I’ll ask Mr. Gunn to come and take her away earlier after her recovery banquet.”

“A recovery banquet?” Natalie was taken aback for a moment. “What’s that?”

“It’s Jackson’s idea. Jacqueline had been in a vegetative state for almost ten years, and she has almost recovered now, so he wants to host a banquet for her. It’s something of a platform to integrate her back into the society,” Shane explained, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Understanding dawned upon Natalie. “Oh, I see. So, when is the recovery banquet?”

“Early next month.”

“That clashes with your birthday,” Natalie commented.

Shane merely chuckled softly. “I’m not planning to have a banquet for my birthday. We’ll just celebrate it as a family. And don’t forget the surprise you promised me.”

Upon hearing the word “surprise,” Natalie instinctively glanced at the children. “I didn’t forget about it. But well, I just hope that you’re not too surprised at that time.”

“Hmm?” Shane arched an eyebrow.

Peeking at the time, Natalie then changed the subject. “Alright, it’s about time to send the kids to kindergarten. Otherwise, they’ll be late.”

 

Shane murmured an acknowledgment in response. “Let’s go.”
