CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake Chapter 1742

Chapter 1742Chapter 1742 Welcome Stanley Back
If he didn't hold Anders, Shane wouldn't have glared jealously at him and ended up frightening the
child.
All in all, he was indeed somewhat responsible for what happened.
Shane's face clouded over when he saw Stanley remaining silent, as if tacitly admitting his mistake.
Natalie hugged Shane's arm and attempted to smooth things over when the latter was about to pick on
Stanley. “That's enough, Shane. This is over, and Anders is fine. Let's not dwell on who was right or
wrong anymore. If we keep dwelling on it, who knows how long it will last.”
Shane glanced at her, and then at Stanley. Though reluctant, he fell silent but still wore a sour
expression, which indicated his unpleasant mood.
Seeing that, Natalie couldn't help shaking her head and smiling. She then planted a kiss on his cheek.
Shane clearly did not see that coming and was momentarily stunned.

“Well? Are you still angry?” Natalie asked the man.
The man averted his gaze and coughed lightly. Although delighted, he deliberately put on a calm
facade and said, “I feel better now.” Stanley rolled his eyes in annoyance.
This guy is annoying. Can't he just be honest? Just look at that wide smile on his face! He's clearly over
the moon!
It went without saying that Natalie could tell Shane was putting on a pretense. Shaking her head in
amusement, she said, “Stop scowling if you're feeling better. It will give you wrinkles and make you age
faster.”
Shane inclined his head. “Okay.”
“Zaylee.” Natalie took out her phone and dialed Zaylee's number.
Upon receiving the call, Zaylee immediately asked, “Mrs. Thompson, is there something you need?”
“Anders has fallen asleep. Can you come over and bring him back to the room?” Natalie said into the
phone.
Zaylee responded, “Sure. I'll be right there.”
“Good.” Natalie nodded, then put down her phone.
Shane looked at her and asked, “Where did Zaylee go? She didn't even come when Anders was
crying.”
Clearly, he was somewhat displeased with Zaylee's absence when she was supposed to be on duty. Looking at the unhappy man, Natalie patted him on the back of his hand, “All right, don't be like this. I
was the one who let Zaylee leave. It's normal she didn't hear Anders crying. Besides, Anders doesn't
usually cry. He cried because you frightened him.”
Shane couldn't find a suitable retort to that.
Stanley watched in amusement, gloating at Shane's misery.
Sensing the former's mirth, Shane shot him a cold glare.
Unfazed, Stanley shrugged and gave Shane a smile.
The two men didn't bother concealing their antics, so Natalie saw everything and was tickled pink by
the way they were silently expressing their dissatisfaction toward each other.
These two grown men are so childish. But, I'm somewhat surprised by how lively and expressive
Stanley is today.
Stanley had always been composed in her eyes, be it the Stanley who feigned gentleness or the crazy
and malicious Stanley she had once seen. She had never seen him display such a frivolous and
carefree demeanor as he did today.
Hence, she was both surprised and happy seeing him like that.
This version of Stanley seems more like a living, breathing human being, and not an inscrutable and
gloomy individual who excels at pretending and concealing his emotions. Perhaps he has laid theghosts of his past to rest, including his hatred and past emotions. So, he can finally enjoy his life after
he's free of those shackles. No longer burdened by negative emotions, he can finally laugh carefreely
and be himself.
Natalie was genuinely happy for Stanley.
“By the way, Shane, let's ask the kitchen to prepare some extra dishes tonight and hold a grand feast to
welcome Stanley back,” Natalie suggested, looking at Shane.
