After all, that might affect her chances of seeing Anders in the future.
Anders was Lina's life. If she were not allowed to see the boy ever again, her life would be
meaningless.
At that thought, Lina swallowed and quickly replied, “I was wrong, Nat. I won't tease you
again.”
“That's more like it.” A satisfied grin crept across Natalie's face.
Seeing that, Lina heaved a sigh of relief.
“By the way, is Anders awake or sleeping now?” Natalie asked again.
“He's awake,” Lina replied as she looked toward the stroller. Anders was looking at her
with his big, bright eyes. He was a well-behaved baby who often smiled and rarely cried.
Lina had immense affection for the boy and could not help gushing over him.
She poked his chubby face lightly with her finger and looked up at Natalie, saying, “Look
at how energetic he is. You missed it, but he was smiling so happily at us just now!”
“Is that so? That's good to know.” Natalie nodded.
She was slightly jealous that she hadn't been able to spend much time with her son ever
since he arrived as Lina enjoyed having him all to herself.
However, she was able to bear with it as long as Lina was taking good care of Anders.
After all, it wasn't possible for Lina to stay by the boy's side forever, and it was not like she
would snatch him away from Natalie.
In the end, Natalie would still be the one spending most of Anders' life with him.
“All right, Nat. If there's nothing else, I'll go accompany Anders now,” Lina said with a

As Natalie was some distance away, she wasn't able to get a good view of Anders. All she
could see was a blue swaddling cloth, but that was enough to keep her content.
Just then, Natalie heard footsteps coming from behind her.
She turned around and saw Shane approaching with some fruits and drinks.
After placing the food and drinks on the small table next to the swing chair, the man sat
down across from Natalie and asked, “What were you and Lina talking about just now?”
He had heard the two women talking earlier when he was on the first floor of the villa.
However, he hadn't been able to hear clearly as he was inside the house and not out on
the balcony.
As such, he did not know the content of the women's conversation.
Natalie accepted a piece of watermelon Shane passed her.
The watermelon had been cut into pieces and placed neatly on a plate. A fork was also
placed on the plate, making it convenient for the woman to eat.
Natalie put the watermelon in her mouth and chewed a few times before swallowing. “It
was nothing much. Lina was teasing me for waking up so late,” she said.
“Just ignore her.” Shane arched a brow, realizing what the woman was referring to.
It wasn't the first time Lina had teased Natalie.
In fact, whenever he was there, Natalie would be ribbed by Lina the next day.
Shane did not take offense at that as he knew that Lina meant it in a playful way.

Natalie placed the fork back onto the plate and said smilingly, “Don't worry. With Anders
protecting me now, she wouldn't dare to tease me again.”
Shane understood what the woman meant at once. Letting out a chuckle, he replied, “He's
already capable of protecting you at such a young age. As expected of my son.”
In the Thompson family, it was the duty of the men to protect the women.
As a husband, he would make sure to keep his wife and daughter safe.
Similarly, he was also hoping that his sons would be able to protect their mother and
sister.
He wanted to cultivate a sense of familial responsibility in his sons.
“Yup, Anders is my little protector,” Natalie said while looking toward the boy, who was on
the lawn outside.
Shane looked over as well and said, “With Lina helping to take care of Anders, at least we
get to have some alone time together.”
Rolling her eyes, Natalie changed the topic. “By the way, how long have they been out on
the lawn with Anders already?” she asked.
“Around half an hour,” Shane replied.
Natalie nodded and said, “Get them to bring him back into the house soon. Although it's
good for Anders to get some sun, he can't stay in the sun for long as his body is still quite
weak.”
“I know. I have already told Mdm. Zorus that he shouldn't stay outside for more than an
hour. Don't worry, they know what to do.” Shane passed a glass of milk to Natalie while
saying, “You should pay more attention to your own health as you haven't completely
recovered yet.”
