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.
