Chapter 1731 Gratitude
Upon hearing this, Shane raised his eyebrows slightly. “Has he already arrived?”
“Yeah.” Natalie nodded, pointing upstairs. “Traveling was too tiring, so he's resting in the
room.”
Shane glanced up towards the direction of the stairs and then replied, “All right.”
He was well aware of Stanley's arrival as Silas had informed him.
So when he heard Natalie mention it again, he didn't find it surprising at all.
“How long has he been here?” Shane picked up the cup she had just put down and took a
sip from the same spot where she had just drunk.
Her lipstick stain still remained on the rim of his cup.
Upon seeing it, Natalie couldn't react in time to stop him.
His movements were so fast that she simply couldn't react in time.
“Darling, I just had ginger tea, so there must be a taste of it on the cup. Don't you mind?”
Natalie asked cautiously while looking at Shane.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the past, she and he often shared a cup, so what surprised her was not that he
continued to drink from the cup she had used, but rather, she was afraid he would dislike
the other smell she left on the cup.
However, Shane shook his head and said, “Why would I? You are my wife.”
Natalie smiled. “Darling, you're such a nice person.”
Shane gently rubbed her hair and asked again, “All right. When did Stanley arrive?”
Natalie stopped making a fuss and leaned into his embrace, replying, “Three hours ago.
When he arrived, I had a chat with him.”
“What did you talk about?” Shane asked, gently stroking her hair.
Natalie was silent for a moment before finally replying, “I asked him why he took Connor
away, causing him to have a car accident, as well as why he burned down my factory and
staged his car accident.”
There wasn't much of a change in Shane's facial expression after he heard her words.
He had guessed long ago that she must have talked about these things.
Ever since Jacqueline told her that it was all Stanley's doing, she had had doubts in her
mind and wanted to get a clear explanation from Stanley.
It was just that Stanley had always been with Joyce, and she had some resentment
towards Stanley deep down, so she had never taken the initiative to ask Stanley.
Now that Stanley was right in front of her, she naturally couldn't let this opportunity slip
away.
“So, how did Stanley respond?” Shane narrowed his eyes, his expression cold.
Natalie fell silent once again. It was only after a few seconds that she slowly recounted
everything she and Stanley had discussed at the time.
Upon hearing that Stanley did all this just to win her over, Shane put on a gloomy face. He
scoffed coldly and said, “If one could successfully win someone over using such a
ridiculous method, there would be no justice left in this world.”
Hearing the man's complaint about Stanley, Natalie smiled and said, “All right, don't be
angry. I'm not angry anymore.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Are you really not angry anymore?” Shane lowered his head to look at her.
Natalie pursed her lips. “Of course, I still feel a bit uncomfortable in my heart, but since he
saved my life, I can only let it go and not pursue it further. Moreover, Stanley promised me
that it won't happen again. He also said that his mental state has improved a lot now, and
he won't engage in those crazy actions in the future, especially towards Joyce.”
“Do you believe him?” Shane looked at her.
Natalie shook her head. “I don't know, but I'm willing to try and believe in him. Maybe, he
really can do it.”
“Since you put it that way, I'll listen to you then.” Shane narrowed his eyes. “I originally
wanted to teach him a lesson.”
Natalie immediately raised her hand and covered his mouth. “No, please don't. He saved
our entire family. We really shouldn't do anything to him. Besides, he came here to help
this time, so let's just let it go. Don't bring it up again. Let's see if he really won't cause
any more trouble in the future.”
Shane responded with a nod. “As you wish.”
Even though he didn't have a good impression of Stanley, he was willing to endure and
tolerate Stanley, out of gratitude for the latter who had saved them.
