Chapter 1766 Not That Stingy

Shane stood still and watched Silas and his group disappear into the distance. He

retracted his gaze and turned to look at the couch when they were out of sight.

Watching Stanley nonchalantly sipping tea on the couch, Shane could not hide his look of

disdain.

Is this guy treating this place like it's his own territory?

This is a bit too comfortable for his own good.

And what's the deal with the several cans of tea in front of him?

Stanley felt Shane's gaze fall on the tea leaves. Finally, he deigned to look at him.

Adjusting his glasses, he said, “Mr. Thompson, what's the matter? Surely you're not

reluctant to serve a few types of tea to your guests?”

Shane snorted, “It's just a few cans of tea leaves. I'm not that stingy.”

With a smile tugging at his lips, Stanley said, “That's wonderful. Since you're so generous,

how about giving me all these tea leaves? Can I take them with me when I leave?”

Shane's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Isn't this person a bit too shameless?

He's not only living at my place but also eating and taking my things!

Seeing Shane silent, Stanley's eyes flickered for a moment before he feigned a sigh.

“You're not saying anything. It seems you can't bear to.”

“Don't make me out to be so stingy. It's just a few cans of tea. If you want them, just take

them.” Shane waved his hand somewhat impatiently.

Stanley laughed. “Well, thank you then.”

Those several cans of tea were all new and unopened. That morning, he specifically had

the housekeeper bring them out under the pretense of inspecting them.

In truth, his real intention was to deliberately show them to Shane and then trick them out

of his hands.

Look! It's a success!

With great enthusiasm, Stanley scooped the few cans of tea up. If he had a bag, he would

probably have wanted to put them directly into it because he was afraid that Shane might

change his mind.

Upon observing his actions, Shane scoffed disdainfully, “Ambitious.”

Stanley did not get angry either. He adjusted his glasses and replied, “I can't help it. I'm

not as wealthy as you, Mr. Thompson, and I enjoy drinking tea, so this is the only way.”

Shane withdrew his gaze, too lazy to pay him any mind, and stood up to head upstairs.

Stanley suddenly crossed his legs and said, “You just saw Anders off, so next up is Natalie,

right?”

“You're asking even though you know the answer?” Shane paused and turned his head to

look at him.

Stanley chuckled, “I'm just curious. Why didn't you send both mother and son away

together? Why separate them?”

“My wife is about to attend an awards ceremony, so we must part ways. The last time she

competed internationally, she lost the championship because of me. This time, she's the

champion, and I should at least let her bask in the glory of receiving her trophy before we

leave. It's an honor she truly deserves,” Shane replied softly.

Stanley nodded. “I see.”

He did not say anything more.

Shane continued to go upstairs.

In the afternoon, Natalie and Lina hopped into the car and headed to the competition hall

to attend the awards ceremony.

She already knew about Anders being sent away. When she got up at noon, Shane told her

right away.

She was well aware of when Anders would be sent away and had mentally prepared

herself for it. But when the moment truly came that Anders was sent away, she still felt a

bit unhappy with a certain gloom settling in her heart.

However, it did not take her long to bounce back and regain her spirits.

After all, she would not be apart from Anders for long, at most a day. She would have to

leave there early the next morning to be with her three children. So, there really was no

need to be overly upset.

“By the way, Nat, isn't Mr. Thompson attending the awards ceremony today? You're

receiving an award, and it's such a shining moment. Can he really bear not to attend?” In

the car, Lina asked, looking at Natalie who was busy with her cell phone. “After all, this is

the most prestigious award you've received since you got married. If Mr. Thompson

doesn't attend, and there's no memento of it, that would be such a pity.”

Upon hearing Lina's words, Natalie lifted her head and replied with a smile, “He will

attend, but he'll be a bit late. He'll probably arrive when I'm on stage.”
