“Hey, Stanley,” she greeted.

“Nat, I saw Mr. Shane's post,” informed the man. “You guys got married?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, so it's true. I thought I've guessed incorrectly.” Stanley let out a smile that did not quite reach his eyes before adjusting his glasses. “Well, congratulations.”

Not knowing Stanley's actual reaction, Natalie smiled as well before thanking him.

“See? I told you he was only going to ask about this.” Joyce mouthed.

Natalie ignored her as she asked Stanley about his condition.

Right when he was about to reply, a woman's shy voice echoed from his end of the phone. “I'm back, Dr. Quinn.”
