CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1743

Chapter 1743 Lina Arrives

Welcome Stanley back?

Shane's brows furrowed as he cast a glance at Stanley, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

I can welcome anyone back but Stanley.

Before Shane could say anything to turn down the idea, Stanley beat him to it and said with a smile, “That would be nice. Thank you.”

Shane's face fell. This guy has no shame. This is my house, and I haven't even agreed to hold a welcoming feast! Why is he thanking us already?

Stanley's lips curved into a smirk when he saw Shane's grim expression. It went without saying that he was in a great mood upon witnessing Shane's misery.

“No worries. You don't have to thank us. You're our friend, so it's only right that we welcome you back. You guys go ahead and chat, I'll go give instructions to the kitchen.”

With that, Natalie stood up and placed Anders in Shane's arms. “Zaylee will be back soon. Place Anders in her care when she's here. Don't make him cry again.”

Shane was annoyed. “I only made Anders cry once.”

Why is she making it sound like I do it all the time?

Realizing what she said was somewhat inappropriate, she flashed him an apologetic smile. “I didn't mean it. Don't be upset.”

“I'm not.” Shane shook his head.

How can I possibly get upset at her?

Relieved, Natalie went to the kitchen after making sure the man wasn't upset.

Immediately after she left, the two men resumed having a staredown again.

Instead of fighting and arguing, they merely locked eyes with one another without doing anything else. Though didn't do anything in particular, their hostility toward each other was palpable, and anyone could tell that they were at odds with each other.

It wasn't until Zaylee arrived that they finally stopped glaring at each other, pretending as if all was well.

“Sir, let me carry the baby.” Zaylee approached Shane and extended her arms.

Shane didn't say much and carefully placed Anders in the woman's arms. “Take good care of him.”

“I will.” Zaylee nodded, holding the child.

Stanley chimed in, “Mr. Thompson, you're worrying for nothing. Zaylee is a professional. Do you really need to remind her?”

Shane knew Stanley was deliberately saying these things to provoke him.

He couldn't be bothered to entertain the other man and waved his hand dismissively, gesturing for Zaylee to take the child away.

Zaylee, sensing the awkward atmosphere, said nothing and left with Anders.
