If the doctor hadn't verified that Anders was healthy, they would have mistaken his obedience for a lack of intelligence.

“It's all due to how sensible our son is. He's clearly behaving because he knows how tough the adults have it,” Natalie commented while gazing at Anders.

When something struck her suddenly, she asked, “By the way, Darling, is Anders the surprise that you told me about earlier?”

Shane raised his chin slightly. “Yes. I know that no gift in this world would make you happier than Anders. That's why I didn't tell you when he was discharged from the hospital. I wanted to give you a pleasant surprise by bringing him over. So, did it work?”

Natalie gave him a teary-eyed nod. “It worked perfectly. You're right that nothing else in this world would make me any happier than the sight of my child.”

Staring at Anders, her eyes brimmed with maternal love.

After Shane put Anders back into his cot, the latter cooed in laughter again. He then grasped in the air with a smile, making for an adorable sight.

It was one that melted the hearts of both his parents.

Upon tucking Anders in, Natalie asked, “When was he discharged?”

“Five days ago,” Shane answered.

Natalie, in feigned anger, slapped him on his chest. “You actually kept it from me for five days? It looks like you're getting really good at hiding things from me.”

“It's all for the sake of giving you a surprise. Even the children were in on it.” He shifted his gaze to the two children who were playing with Anders.

“There were a few times when they almost let the secret slip but managed to keep it after I reminded them to do so. As we went through a lot just to prepare the surprise, do I get a reward tonight, Honey?” Lowering his head, Shane let out an alluring hum by her ear.

Despite getting his hint, Natalie rolled her eyes and nudged him with her elbow. “Sheesh, what are you talking about? The children are right here.”

“I was whispering. There's no way they heard me.” Pulling her hand over, he checked her elbow. “Does it hurt?”

His show of concern elicited a smile from the annoyed Natalie. “Of course, it doesn't. What about you? Did I hurt you?”

“No.” Shane shook his head.

As a man, there's no way I can't bear something that trivial. Besides, hitting me is my wife's way of showing her love for me.

After glancing at the children and being certain they were not paying attention, Natalie lifted her heels to whisper into Shane's ear. “All right. I'll satisfy you however you want at night. Happy now?”
