“Well, she's their biological mother, no?” Zaylee, who was beside Lina, teased after she
heard the latter's words.
“You're right.” Lina shook her head while smiling.
Afterward, she scanned her surroundings to look for Anders.
When she eventually found Anders in Shane's arms, a look of disappointment appeared on
her face.
Since Anders was neither with Nat nor Mdm. Zorus, I thought he had been put down
somewhere else, and I'd be able to check on him. Who would've thought that he was
actually being carried by his father? Now that he's in Mr. Thompson's arms, I can't go and
look at him. Putting aside the fact that I'm a little afraid of Mr. Thompson, he's my friend's
husband and a man. So I couldn't possibly approach him just so I could watch Anders... I
guess I'll wait until Mr. Thompson is away from Anders...
Lina was in deep dejection as those thoughts crossed her mind.
Meanwhile, after spending some time with the twins, Natalie held their hands and turned
to face Shane. “Let's head back, Darling.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Anders in his arms, Shane nodded. “Let's go.”
With that, the group left the lounge. Shane led the way at the front while carrying Anders.
Natalie, on the other hand, was right behind him, holding the twins' hands.
As Sharon was walking, she could not resist the urge to jump, hoping that she could catch
a glimpse of Anders.
However, Shane was too tall, and she was simply too little. No matter how she jumped,
she could not see her little brother. Consequently, she had a gloomy expression until she
got into the car and saw Anders. Only then were her spirits lifted.
Anders was still asleep when they got back to the villa.
As such, Natalie instructed Zaylee to settle him in the room.
Since the villa did not have a nursery, Zaylee had to stay in a guest room.
Naturally, Anders had to sleep with her because he needed to drink milk throughout the
night.
Although Natalie was disappointed that she could not have Anders sleep with her and
Shane, she had to endure it because she was not lactating.
For Anders' sake, I have no choice but to do so. Once Anders is weaned, I can have him
sleep with Shane and me.
With Anders in her arms, Zaylee followed the housekeeper up the stairs.
When Lina saw that scene, she dashed upstairs excitedly as well without bothering to put
her handbag aside, claiming that she was going to fetch the presents she got for the
children.
Connor's and Sharon's eyes lit up at the mention of presents. Hence, they quickly went
after Lina.
Just like that, only Shane and Natalie were left inside the villa's enormous living room.
Nonplussed, Natalie asked, “Does this mean we've been abandoned?”
“Nope. I find this nice.” Shane wrapped his arm around her waist.
“How so?” In response, she arched an eyebrow.
“There's no one around to disturb us.” As he spoke, he pulled her into his embrace.
The two of them were so close to each other that there was no gap between their bodies.
Shane then lowered his head to gaze at her. In a hoarse voice, he voiced, “Honey.”

“Yes?” she replied, looking up at him.
Dipping his head even lower, Shane revealed what was on his mind by saying in a deeper
voice, “I want to kiss you.”
“No.” Natalie blushed.
“Why not?” He frowned, feeling forlorn from her rejection.
She looked over her shoulder and said, “We're not actually alone in the villa. What if Lina
and the kids come down later?”
“They won't.” Shane shook his head confidently. “Based on how much Lina adores Anders,
I know she won't come down and will only stay upstairs to keep him company. Even if
Anders is asleep, she'll still be able to watch him sleep throughout the night. This has been
confirmed by what happened on the earlier car ride. As for the twins, they'll also stay
upstairs. They're equally fond of Anders and will keep him company as well. So, they won't
come down until we tell them dinner is ready.”
“Are you certain?” Natalie gazed at him and asked, “I know Lina will surely stay upstairs,
but what if the kids come down?”
