Chapter 1726 Shane Is Back

With a face filled with regret, Lina shook her head and said, “How can Mr. Thompson be so

lucky?”

Upon hearing her words, Natalie couldn't help but roll her eyes. “All right, enough of that.

What are you even talking about? Let's get back to our previous conversation. I still have a

score to settle with you.”

“Score to settle?” Lina was taken aback. “Nat, what do you want to settle with me?”

Natalie's lips curled into a sneer. “What do you think? When you answered the phone just

now, you looked as if you had suffered a huge blow. It scared me quite a bit, and I thought

we had lost. I was even prepared to cry. But then you told me that we won. Do you know

how I felt? At first, I plunged into hell, and then I was lifted into heaven. You should be

grateful that I don't have a heart condition, or else you would have scared me to death.”

As she spoke, she irritably slapped Lina's shoulder.

Lina covered her aching shoulder, realizing that her reaction just now could easily be

misunderstood. Feeling guilty, she knew that she was in the wrong and stuck out her

tongue. “I'm sorry, Nat. I just heard that we won and couldn't believe it for a moment, so I

froze. I didn't mean to mislead you on purpose.”

“I believe you.” Natalie nodded. “I believe you were stunned because we won and became

champions, and you were so overjoyed that you froze. However, it is also true that you

frightened me. So, tell me how you intend to compensate me.”

Lina chuckled. “How about I give you and Mr. Thompson a little gift?”

“A little gift?” Natalie raised her eyebrows. “What gift?”

Lina's eyes darted around, and she smirked in a suggestive and sly manner. “I can't tell

you yet because I haven't bought it. But once I have it tonight, you'll know. Don't worry.

My gift will instantly restore your and Mr. Thompson's relationship to when you both loved

each other the most.”

After saying that, she winked at Natalie.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat once again, and she had a bad feeling about it.

Why do I have the impression that the gift she mentioned isn't something good?

Just as Natalie was hesitating whether or not to let Lina off the hook and suggest that she

shouldn't bother with the gift, Lina suddenly stood up. “All right, Nat. It's time for me to go

out and buy gifts for you and Mr. Thompson. By the way, the award ceremony and the

closing ceremony of the competition will be held in three days. I'll leave now.”

After saying that, she waved her hand and hummed a tune as she walked toward the

entrance.

Natalie watched her retreating figure and reached out, wanting to call out and stop her.

However, Lina's figure had disappeared at the entrance, and Natalie couldn't call out to

her in time.

There was no other choice, so Natalie reluctantly gave up, withdrew her hand, and shook

her head with a somewhat helpless smile.

Left with no choice, she decided to wait for the gift that would bring her and Shane's

feelings back to when they loved each other the most.

She was curious to see what kind of gift would have such a significant effect on their

relationship.

Thinking of that, Natalie smiled, then turned around and went upstairs, ready to check on

Anders in the room.

I wonder if he is awake now.

As Connor and Sharon were not by her side, the only child she could see was Anders.

It could be said that her longing for her three children weighed heavily on Anders.

She could only meet Connor and Sharon through Anders.

Natalie had been staying in the room with Anders for three hours when suddenly someone

knocked on the door. Reluctantly, she handed the sleeping Anders to Zaylee, who then

carried him to the bed. Natalie then walked to the door and opened it.

The villa's housekeeper was standing outside the door.

Upon seeing her, the housekeeper respectfully greeted her, “Mrs. Thompson.”

Natalie smiled and nodded. “What's the matter?”

“Mr. Shane has returned. His car is already at the front gate,” the housekeeper replied.

Upon hearing that Shane had returned, Natalie widened her eyes slightly, and a delighted

smile immediately appeared on her face. Without saying anything more, she quickly

dashed past the housekeeper and ran downstairs.

Upon reaching downstairs, she didn't see Shane and guessed that he probably hadn't

come out of the car yet.
