CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1752

Chapter 1752 You Cannot See It

Natalie was amused by his words. “How come I didn't know before that you have such a sweet tongue that can say such romantic things?”

She walked back towards him again.

Shane set the box aside, then reached out to wrap his arms around her slender waist, inviting her to sit on his lap. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Taking the opportunity, Natalie also wrapped her arms around his neck.

Shane lowered his head, planting a kiss on her red lips before responding, “Now you know, right? I can say it anytime, as long as you like.”

Natalie laughed happily. “Alright, then I'll be waiting for your sweet words every day.”

“Alright.” Shane gently stroked her nose bridge.

Natalie's gaze was drawn to the box he had just set aside. She let go of his neck and reached out to grab the box, asking, “What's inside this box?”

However, just as her hand barely touched the box, Shane's large hand reached over, pressing directly onto the box before she could even lift it.

The meaning was clear, she was not allowed to take it.

“Hmm?” Natalie turned her head in surprise, looking at Shane, clearly not understanding why he was stopping her. “Darling, what are you doing?”

Shane's eyes sparkled, his voice still husky and emotional. “You can't look at what's inside here for now.”

“Why is that?” Natalie blinked, utterly puzzled. “Aren't these things gift from Lina? Why can't I look?”

“It's not that you can't see, but you can't see it now,” Shane said with a profound look in his eyes.

If you look at it now, it won't be of any use tonight.

You will surely find a way to dispose of the things in the box.

So, in order for the contents of the box to be useful tonight, he could only prevent her from seeing what's inside the box for now.

Listening to Shane's words, Natalie felt even more confused. “Why can't I look now?”

Her eyebrows furrowed in concentration, she stared intently at the man, as if trying to discern something from his face.

But the man's face revealed nothing, she couldn't discern what he was trying to cover up.

This left Natalie somewhat disheartened.

Shane subtly shifted his gaze, avoiding eye contact with Natalie.

He was afraid that if he looked too long, his heart would soften. Unable to resist her insistence, he moved his hand away, allowing her to open the box.

Therefore, for the sake of happiness in the evening, he had no choice but to steel his heart.

“Why can't I just tell you now that you'll understand when the time comes? Rest assured, I won't harm you,” Shane said, his hand gently caressing Natalie's face, telling her this with utmost sincerity.

“Of course, I know you wouldn't harm me, but how you act mysteriously make me feel uneasy and even more curious. So, Darling, could you please let me see what's inside?”

She playfully swayed the man's arm, acting coyly.

The man's pupils contracted slightly for he could barely resist her, and almost revealed everything to her.

But in the end, his rationale took over. Despite the reluctance in his heart, he still refused.

“No.” Shane lightly parted his thin lips, replying with one word, devoid of any emotion.

The coy expression on Natalie's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a blank look. “Fine, Shane. You're really something. If you won't let me see it, at least tell me what's inside, okay?”

“That won't do.” Shane lifted her up and placed her on the sofa to the side. He then stood up, holding the box in his hands. “As I said before, you'll understand when the time comes.”

After speaking, he walked towards the cloakroom with the box in his arms.

He hid the box away, so she wouldn't find it, see it, and then deal with it secretly.

Seeing the unusual behavior of Shane, Natalie knew exactly what he was up to, which made her little face turn red with annoyance.

This man actually went as far as to hide the box in order to prevent her from seeing what's inside the box, guarding it from her as if she were a thief.

She was absolutely livid.

Natalie stood up, her hands clenched into fists, stomping her foot. “Shane Thompson, you are such an ass.”

Listening to his wife's scolding from behind, Shane also felt that he was quite a jerk.
