Chapter 1741 Who Started This

“Fine, I'll tell.” Shane felt somewhat guilty in the face of his wife's anger.

How could he not? After all, he was the one who made Anders cry.

Since he was in the wrong first, he had no choice but to yield.

Knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, Shane sighed and rubbed his temples. “I

didn't do it on purpose. I felt uneasy when I saw Anders in Stanley's arms, so I took Anders

from him. I didn't mean to scare Anders and make him cry.”

“I knew it was you!” Natalie's face flushed from anger. “Anders is still so young! How could

you scare him? He might be traumatized for life!”

A child's emotional state could be fragile, so problems might arise if not handled carefully.

Therefore, one must be extremely cautious and meticulous when it came to looking after

children.

Shane, on the other hand, did the exact opposite. He ended up frightening the child to

tears.

Feeling even more guilty, Shane sheepishly scratched his nose and explained, “I didn't

mean for it to happen! I was just worried that Stanley might do something to Anders, so I

asked him to give Anders back to me, but he refused. I got anxious, so I snatched Anders

from him, not realizing my actions might scare him.”

Shane suddenly raised his hand. “I need to clarify something here. I didn't give Anders

back to Mr. Thompson not because I didn't want to, but because Anders was sleepy. I was

thinking of handing him back to Mr. Thompson after he fell asleep. Who knows Mr.

Thompson would be so impatient? He ended up making Anders cry, and worse still, he

couldn't even soothe the baby. In the end, it was I who managed to calm Anders down.”

His words not only belittled Shane but also made himself appear righteous, showcasing his

mastery of manipulation in the conversation.

Shane and Natalie weren't fools, so naturally, they detected the meaning behind his

words.

Shane was promptly infuriated, while Natalie merely frowned.

After all, Shane was the one who made the child cry, while Stanley was the one who

managed to soothe the child.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Stanley implicitly mocking Shane.

Shane only had himself to blame for failing to console Anders.

At present, her child was indeed more important than her husband in her heart.

“All right, stop glaring at Stanley. You were the one who made Anders cry but failed to

soothe him, so why are you upset when Stanley did your job for you? I don't understand

you sometimes,” said Natalie, both annoyed and amused at the same time.

Shane pursed his lips in silence and felt indignant.

He knew it was his fault and that he indeed fell short compared to Stanley in terms of

attentiveness and taking care of children.

However, that didn't mean Stanley had the right to show off and act all high and mighty in

front of him.

Stanley was clearly mocking him just now, and he was sure Natalie could tell, too.

Nevertheless, Natalie didn't bother to defend him, which naturally upset him.

Natalie sighed upon noticing how quiet Shane was, knowing what he was thinking.

She tugged at his sleeve, and when he turned around, she pointed at Anders and Stanley,

wordlessly telling him that she didn't speak up for him because Stanley was the one who

pacified the child, and if she defended him, she would appear ungrateful.

Natalie then pinched her nose bridge and said, “I was wrong, too. I didn't expect you to

come down so quickly, so I didn't tell you that I had handed Anders over to Stanley. If I had

told you in advance, you wouldn't have been so nervous and ended up scaring Anders.”

Indeed, she was part of the reason this happened.

Stanley could no longer bring himself to enjoy the show anymore when he saw Natalie

blaming herself. Clearing his throat, he said, “It's not your fault. You only handed Anders to

me because I asked.”

“So, in the end, you're still the one to blame?” Shane narrowed his eyes and glowered at

Stanley.

Stanley was at a loss for words.

Well, in a sense, I did start this. Natalie wouldn't have handed Anders over to me if I didn't

ask.
