Chapter 1715 Stanley Is Here
“Even though Stanley hurt Connor, I can't take revenge on him, but I still want to know the
answer. I want to know why Stanley did this.”
“Of course.” Lina gripped Natalie's hand tightly. “You really should know this. When he
arrives, make sure to ask him properly.”
“Mm-hmm.” Natalie nodded, forcing a smile in response.
Afterward, she called a housekeeper and arranged a room for Stanley. Then, she sat
quietly on the couch, waiting.
She waited for Stanley to arrive.
The airport was not too far from her place. At most, it was just an hour's drive away.
In an hour, she would finally meet Stanley and get the answers to all the questions she
had longed to know.
Time flew by quickly. An hour later, Natalie heard the sound of a car outside the villa.
She stood up, clenched her fists, and slowly whispered two words inwardly. He's here.
Stanley had arrived.
Lina was not around at the moment. She was in her room, having a video call with Bryan.
It seemed Lina had been bothering Bryan around this time every day, chatting with him
and such.
Now, Bryan was no longer like the boring person he used to be, appearing clueless about
everything.
Bryan seemed to know what was on Lina's mind, and he himself appeared to have the
same intentions. That was why he was willing to chat and video call with Lina every day.
In just a short period of time, their relationship improved rapidly.
Sometimes, Lina could be heard saying she would no longer be single if things kept going
like this.
Natalie was deep in thought when she heard footsteps coming from the living room.
She fell into a daze for a second before her thoughts were pulled back to reality. Then, she
looked up toward the source of the noise.
Upon seeing Stanley, who a housekeeper was leading, Natalie pursed her red lips slightly
before allowing a small smile to form. She spoke with a smile, “You're here, Stanley.”
Stanley stopped a few steps away from Natalie, his deep eyes gazing at her without
saying a word.
Natalie felt somewhat uneasy under his gaze, and the smile on her face stiffened for a
moment.
However, she quickly composed herself and gestured to the housekeeper behind him.
“You may go now. Please make a pot of Earl Grey.”
Earl Grey was a favorite of Stanley.
Although she had misgivings about what Stanley had done in the past, she could not deny
that he had saved her and her children's lives.
Moreover, Stanley came over this time to help, so she could not be too cold toward him.
“Understood, Mrs. Thompson.” The housekeeper nodded and turned to leave.
Only Natalie and Stanley were left in the living room.
Natalie took a breath and gestured invitingly to Stanley. “Don't just stand there, Stanley.
Please have a seat.”
Stanley nodded, set his luggage aside, and sat across from her. After adjusting the glasses
on the bridge of his nose, he looked at her and said, “I can't believe you still remember to
prepare my favorite tea.”
Natalie asked doubtfully, “Why wouldn't I?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStanley chuckled softly. “It's because I can sense you have some complex feelings toward
me, and you're acting a bit distant. I've done bad things to you in the past, and I thought
you wouldn't consider me a friend anymore.”
Upon hearing his words, Natalie lowered her gaze and fell silent. After a while, she sighed
and spoke, “You're right. I do have some issues with you in my heart, but I never stopped
considering you as a friend. Moreover, you are the savior of my children, mother, and me.
With that alone, I will never truly be angry with you or truly dislike you as long as you
don't do anything to harm us.”
Stanley was taken aback for a moment.
He did not expect Natalie to have such a high tolerance for him.
“Really? Even if I hurt Joyce before, you wouldn't be truly angry with me?” Stanley looked
at her.
Natalie nodded. “Yes. Besides, I'm me, and Joyce is Joyce. The grievances between you
and Joyce are your own business and should be resolved by yourselves. Unless you
threaten Joyce's life, I won't interfere. I can't completely dislike you just because I have a
good relationship with Joyce. That would be very unfair to you.”
