Chapter 1742 Welcome Stanley Back

If he didn't hold Anders, Shane wouldn't have glared jealously at him and ended up

frightening the child.

All in all, he was indeed somewhat responsible for what happened.

Shane's face clouded over when he saw Stanley remaining silent, as if tacitly admitting his

mistake.

Natalie hugged Shane's arm and attempted to smooth things over when the latter was

about to pick on Stanley. “That's enough, Shane. This is over, and Anders is fine. Let's not

dwell on who was right or wrong anymore. If we keep dwelling on it, who knows how long

it will last.”

Shane glanced at her, and then at Stanley. Though reluctant, he fell silent but still wore a

sour expression, which indicated his unpleasant mood.

Seeing that, Natalie couldn't help shaking her head and smiling. She then planted a kiss

on his cheek.

Shane clearly did not see that coming and was momentarily stunned.

It took him a while to regain his senses and touch his cheek, a smile playing on his thin

lips.

“Well? Are you still angry?” Natalie asked the man.

The man averted his gaze and coughed lightly. Although delighted, he deliberately put on

a calm facade and said, “I feel better now.”

Stanley rolled his eyes in annoyance.

This guy is annoying. Can't he just be honest? Just look at that wide smile on his face! He's

clearly over the moon!

It went without saying that Natalie could tell Shane was putting on a pretense. Shaking

her head in amusement, she said, “Stop scowling if you're feeling better. It will give you

wrinkles and make you age faster.”

Shane inclined his head. “Okay.”

“Zaylee.” Natalie took out her phone and dialed Zaylee's number.

Upon receiving the call, Zaylee immediately asked, “Mrs. Thompson, is there something

you need?”

“Anders has fallen asleep. Can you come over and bring him back to the room?” Natalie

said into the phone.

Zaylee responded, “Sure. I'll be right there.”

“Good.” Natalie nodded, then put down her phone.

Shane looked at her and asked, “Where did Zaylee go? She didn't even come when Anders

was crying.”

Clearly, he was somewhat displeased with Zaylee's absence when she was supposed to be

on duty.

Looking at the unhappy man, Natalie patted him on the back of his hand, “All right, don't

be like this. I was the one who let Zaylee leave. It's normal she didn't hear Anders crying.

Besides, Anders doesn't usually cry. He cried because you frightened him.”

Shane couldn't find a suitable retort to that.

Stanley watched in amusement, gloating at Shane's misery.

Sensing the former's mirth, Shane shot him a cold glare.

Unfazed, Stanley shrugged and gave Shane a smile.

The two men didn't bother concealing their antics, so Natalie saw everything and was

tickled pink by the way they were silently expressing their dissatisfaction toward each

other.

These two grown men are so childish. But, I'm somewhat surprised by how lively and

expressive Stanley is today.

Stanley had always been composed in her eyes, be it the Stanley who feigned gentleness

or the crazy and malicious Stanley she had once seen. She had never seen him display

such a frivolous and carefree demeanor as he did today.

Hence, she was both surprised and happy seeing him like that.

This version of Stanley seems more like a living, breathing human being, and not an

inscrutable and gloomy individual who excels at pretending and concealing his emotions.

Perhaps he has laid the ghosts of his past to rest, including his hatred and past emotions.

So, he can finally enjoy his life after he's free of those shackles. No longer burdened by

negative emotions, he can finally laugh carefreely and be himself.

Natalie was genuinely happy for Stanley.

“By the way, Shane, let's ask the kitchen to prepare some extra dishes tonight and hold a

grand feast to welcome Stanley back,” Natalie suggested, looking at Shane.
