Chapter 1738 Ungrateful
It was quite strange. As soon as Anders was in Stanley's arms, he quickly calmed down
and stopped crying. However, since he had been crying so loudly and for so long, he was
still sniffling. With teary eyes, he looked at Stanley and broke into a smile.
Upon seeing that scene, Shane's mouth twitched slightly, and then he fell silent. He looked
into Anders' eyes with a hint of resentment.
After all, just moments ago, the little child was crying so fiercely in his arms, as if he, the
father, was a bad person.
Yet, in Stanley's arms, Anders' crying stopped in such a short time, and he even gave a
smile to Stanley.
If one didn't know better, one might have thought that Stanley was Anders' father.
“What an ungrateful little one,” Shane murmured with slightly pursed lips.
Stanley heard that and said with a faint smile, “It's a bit unfair for you to say that about
Anders, Mr. Thompson. After all, it was you who scared him. Even though children are
young, they're not completely clueless. He knows who frightened him, so it's only natural
for him to be cautious and resistant toward that person.”
“All right, enough.” Shane frowned and quickly interrupted him.

Otherwise, the more Stanley spoke, the more uncomfortable he felt inside.
It was obvious that the child was his son, yet he was nestled comfortably in Stanley's
arms. As a father, it was hard for him not to feel upset.
Stanley knew that as well, so he just chuckled and stopped talking. He continued to pat
Anders' back, comforting him.
Anders looked at Stanley for a while, then let out a yawn. His eyes began to flutter, not
quite closing. But it was clear that sleepiness was taking over.
Children tend to be easily distracted and can only focus for a short while.
On top of that, having just cried, Anders was already tired, so naturally, sleepiness set in
at that moment.
Furthermore, children could fall asleep so easily. One moment they have just started to
feel drowsy, and the next, they've closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep.
It was so fast that it was amusing.
After making sure that Anders was indeed asleep, Stanley handed Anders over to Shane
with both hands. “Mr. Thompson, here's your son.”
If he did not return Anders soon, he was afraid that Shane might just kill him.
He tried to comfort Anders for a while, and all that time, Shane stared at him intently, as if
treating him like a criminal. It was as if he thought that Stanley really intended to do
something to Anders.
As he held Anders for longer, the man's gaze on him grew darker and darker, as if
suppressing something.
He knew that the man was holding back his impatience.
An impatience to kill him.
So, as soon as Anders fell asleep, he quickly handed the child over.
Upon seeing Stanley return his son, Shane's expression finally improved significantly. He
quickly reached out and carefully cradled her son in his arms.
He was afraid of waking Anders up, so he was extremely gentle when adjusting the little
one's position.
Anders looked at Stanley for a while, then let out a yawn. His eyes began to flutter, not
quite closing. But it was clear that sleepiness was taking over.
Stanley sat across from Shane and suddenly said with a smile, “I didn't expect you to be
quite good at taking care of children. The way you hold the child is not awkward at all. You
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmare quite skilled. I assume you often personally take care of Anders?”
Shane raised his gaze and glanced at him faintly. “Do I need you to tell me that? He's my
son, so of course, I'll take care of him personally.”
Even though he was busy and could not take care of Anders for the entire day, he always
managed to squeeze in two hours every day to hug, kiss, and chat with his son no matter
how busy he was.
In addition to ensuring that his son always remembered him, what held even greater
significance for him was the desire to foster a strong and nurturing bond between father
and son starting from a young age.
He missed out on Connor and Sharon's early years, so he didn't want to miss out on
Anders' early years as well.
No doubt, as a father, he had failed.
“Mr. Thompson, it seems that you are indeed a good father,” Stanley said with his arms
crossed.
Shane responded with a dismissive glance, indicating his disregard for the comment,
before choosing to ignore it completely. He simply continued to hold his son, fixating his
gaze upon the child with unwavering focus.
The little one perfectly inherited the good genes from both him and Natalie.
Both he and Natalie had good looks, so naturally, their child wouldn't be any different in
terms of appearance.
