Chapter 1685 Has She Eaten
However, Lina guessed she most likely could not accomplish the task of persuading
Natalie by Shane's request.
“By the way, where's Anders?” Natalie took a few bites and suddenly thought of
something. She turned her head and asked the woman beside her, who was clearly lost in
thought.
Lina's eyes flickered as she regained her focus and replied with a smile, “Anders is still
with Mdm. Zorus. When I brought your meal up, Anders had just finished drinking milk and
is probably asleep by now. Do you want to see Anders? If you do, I can ask Mdm. Zorus to
bring Anders up here.”
Natalie shook her head and said with a smile, “No. Since Anders is asleep, I won't see him
now. If we pick him up now, he'll wake up crying. Although he doesn't cry much, it's
difficult to soothe him when he does. I'll see him tomorrow.” Lina replied with a curt, “That
works too.”
Natalie noticed the eye bags under her eyelids and said with concern, “Lina, if you're tired,
go back to your room and rest first.”
“No need.” Lina waved her hand, rejecting Natalie's kindness. “I'll wait for you to finish
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteating, and then we'll go down together and put these things away.”
Pointing at the tray and dining utensils in Natalie's hand, Lina smiled as she said, “You
probably don't want to go downstairs either. After all, Mr. Thompson is still downstairs, and
you don't really want to see him.”
Her words hit Natalie on the head, and the latter fell silent.
Lina smiled again. “All right, I won't say anything more. Hurry up and eat.”
However, Lina guessed she most likely could not accomplish the task of persuading
Natalie by Shane's request.
Natalie gave a hum in response and continued eating her meal.
However, she seemed to have little appetite. She was not very focused while eating, as if
she had something on her mind.
Lina noticed this but did not ask her what was on her mind.
Lina did not need to think much to guess it must be about Shane.
For a moment, the room fell silent, with neither person speaking. All that could be heard
were their soft breaths and the sounds of eating.
After some time, Natalie finished eating and put down the fork.
Lina heard the noise and put down her phone, looking at Natalie. “Are you done?”
Natalie gave a hum of acknowledgment.
Lina asked again, “Are you full? If not, I can go get you some more.”
“That was enough. I'm already full. If I can't get full with all this food, wouldn't that make
me a big eater?” Natalie wiped her mouth and said with a smile.
Lina yawned again. “All right, then. I'll head downstairs first, then.”
“Go ahead. Get some rest early.” Natalie nodded.
Lina picked up the tray, stood up, and walked toward the door. After taking a couple of
steps forward, she seemed to have thought of something and turned her head back. She
looked at Natalie and smiled. “Nat, do you want me to find out where Mr. Thompson is
sleeping tonight?”
Natalie's eyes flickered as if she was pretty tempted. However, she quickly suppressed
this impulse and shook her head. “No need. The villa is so big, and there are so many
guest rooms. He can stay in any of them. Do I need to worry about him not having a place
to sleep?”
“Even though you say that, are you sure you do not need me to ask for you?” Lina asked

Natalie still replied with a hum. “No need.”
“All right, then.” Lina shrugged. “I won't ask anymore. I'll leave first. Bye, see you
tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.” Natalie managed to squeeze out a smile in response.
Lina turned her head back and continued walking toward the door.
Soon, she came downstairs.
Shane, sitting in the living room waiting for her to come downstairs, heard footsteps and
immediately stood up from the sofa. He looked to the stairs and asked, “Has she eaten
yet?”
His sudden remark startled Lina, almost causing her to fall down the stairs.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to steady herself in time. Once she was
back on her feet, she looked at Shane with a resentful gaze and said, “Mr. Thompson,
could you please wait until I'm on level ground when you start speaking?”
Shane frowned and then asked again, “Has she eaten?”
Lina's mouth twitched, at a loss for words.
It seemed the man did not pay any attention to what she said at all and was solely
focused on whether or not Natalie had eaten.
