“Yes.” Natalie nodded. “No problem. I've promised you, and I intend to keep my word,” she
vowed.
Her assurance relieved Lina, who proceeded to walk toward the other room in which
Connor and Sharon were sleeping.
Just as she left, Shane finished his phone call.
After putting his phone away, he looked in her direction and asked Natalie in a puzzled
tone, “What's the matter with her?”
I can't help but feel that Lina's acting weird. It seems like she harbors ulterior motives
toward Anders.
When Natalie glimpsed the wary look on his face, she lowered her head, covering her
smile with her hand. “Don't misunderstand the situation. Lina doesn't mean harm. It's just
that she adores Anders a lot. Isn't that right, Anders?”
While cooing at the baby in her arms, she gently booped his nose.
Unfortunately, the sleeping Anders was not going to give her any response.
However, the temperature on his face comforted Natalie.
This is his actual temperature. Without the incubator in the way, I can finally feel the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwarmth of his skin.
Shane also caressed Anders' head before asking, “She adores Anders?”
“Yeah. Lina loves Anders a lot. Let me tell you why I say so.” With a smile on her face,
Natalie revealed what happened during the competition and in the room moments prior.
Having heard her recount, Shane was no longer wary of Lina.
Realization dawned on him, and he said, “I see! I thought she had bad intentions toward
Anders because of how obsessive she looked at the mention of him.”
Natalie chuckled. “Although I don't know how you came to the misconception that Lina
would want to harm Anders, I know it'll be amusing if she hears about it.”
“All right. Let's not talk about her anymore. How did the competition go today?” Shane
reached out his arms and took Anders from her. Nestling the baby in one arm, he wrapped
his other arm around Natalie. With his youngest son and wife in his embrace, he was
definitely counting his blessings in life.
In fact, that heartwarming sight could make anyone jealous.
“The competition went well today.” Natalie leaned her head on her husband's shoulder
and continued, “Perhaps you and the kids' arrival is the reason for my burst of inspiration.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Shane smiled.
“Of course.” Natalie nodded.
The certainty in her tone evoked a chuckle from him. “In that case, should the kids and I
stay here and keep you company until the end of your competition? That way, you'll have
inspiration every day,” he suggested.
“That'd be great, of course!” she replied.
Natalie knew he was not planning to only stay for one night since he brought the children
with him. Unlike what he usually did in the past, he was prepared to stay with her until the
competition ended.
Prior to that, he had told her that he wanted the whole family to accompany her, and they
would all return home together afterward.
That was why Shane had already delegated all of Thompson Group's tasks before he went
to her with the kids.
Needless to say, Natalia felt blessed to have such a thoughtful husband.
As they cuddled together, a warm atmosphere descended upon the lounge.
Right then, they heard the sound of movements coming from behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShane and Natalie looked over their shoulders at the same time and saw Lina coming out
of the room while holding Connor's and Sharon's hands.
Perhaps due to the fact that they were woken abruptly, the kids were in low spirits.
While Connor had his eyes half-closed, Sharon still had her eyes shut. Hence, she was
staggering as she walked out of the room.
If not for the fact that Lina was holding her hand, the little girl would have tripped.
At that sight, Natalie shook her head and muttered, “These two...”
A beat later, she called out to them, “Connor! Sharon!”
When the kids heard her voice, they froze momentarily before opening their eyes wide to
look at her.
Upon seeing Natalie standing in front of the couch with her arms stretched out to embrace
them, they smiled and let go of Lina's hands to dash toward her.
As they ran forward, they called out to Natalie in their sweet voices.
Lina glanced at her hands that had been let go before shifting her gaze toward the kids in
Natalie's embrace. “These kids... I was the one who woke them, yet when they saw their
mother, they abandoned me right away,” she grumbled after sighing in resignation.
