"I'll take them."
Shane extended his hand to receive the plates.
Mrs.Wilson handed them to him.
"In that case, Sir, I'll leave this with you.Once Madam has finished, please let me know and I'll come to clear them up"
Shane nodded.
"Mmm-hmm.Go on then."
After Mrs.Wilson left, Shane closed the door behind her and placed the plates on the dining table in the room.
"Hurry, your meal is here."
"Coming."
The dinner served was scrumptious.
After receiving the fork Shane handed her, Natalie sat down and dug in.As for Shane, he took a seat opposite her and watched her eat.
"By the way, where's Connor and Sharon?" Natalie asked when she remembered her children halfway into her meal.
Shane raised his wine glass again to take a sip.
"They're in their room, preparing a present for Anders."
"Preparing a present?"
Natalie was surprised.
"What present?"
Shane chuckled.
"A present to celebrate Anders from being discharged from the hospital.Since he'll be able to leave in a month, the children want to welcome him with a gift"
"I see."
Natalie broke into a smile after hearing the reason.
"I didn't expect the children to be so considerate."
"They have always been exceptional kids? Shane remarked.
Natalie nodded.
"That's true.That aside, what sort of gift are they preparing?""I don't know, as I didn't ask.Furthermore, they were very secretive and probably won't tell me.
Since it's their secret, we should respect it as parents and let them be.There's no need to question them over it"
Shane remarked while swirling his wine glass.
Natalie grunted with a smile, "l understand"
"Quick, finish up."
"Mmm-hmm."
The next day, Natalie arrived at the office with expensive cakes which she distributed among the office staff.
Delighted, the staff gave them out and asked, "Ms.Smith, are you celebrating something by treating us to such delicious desserts?"
"That's right.Other than the desserts, you even got us candies and coffee."
Amidst everyone's chatter, Natalie nodded with a grin.
"I am.My son is back in the country."
"What? Really?"
The employees were briefly stunned before they broke into cheers.
"That's wonderful! This is good news indeed.Congratulations, Ms.Smith."
"That's right, Ms.Smith.Congratulations."
One by one, the staff happily congratulated her.
They were aware that Natalie had given birth prematurely and left the baby overseas for treatment.
Even though they were oblivious to the reason why it happened, it didn't stop them from sympathizing with her.
Now that her son was fine and had been brought back to the country, they were naturally happy for her.
Natalie was filled with glee upon receiving the well-wishes.
"Thank you, everyone.Please feel free to enjoy the food.Also, you can go ahead and have a feast tonight.I'm buying."
"Hurray! You're the best, Ms.Smith!" everyone cheered.
Natalie beamed when she saw how elated they were.
Without another word, she returned to her office.
A short while later, the door to her office opened.
Joyce popped her head in from outside.
"Nat"
"Joyce, what brings you here?"
Natalie looked up and grinned at her.
Joyce entered while waving a bunch of documents in her hand.
"The textile mill has sent these over.I wanted you to look through them and also ask if it's true"
"What's true?"
Joyce approached.
"Everyone was talking about Anders’ return outside."
"It's true." Natalie nodded.
Joyce's eyes lit up.
"It really is? I assumed they were just joking about it"
"You just arrived.Thus, you didn't hear me inform them personally.I was the one who bought them the desserts, as I wanted to share my joy with everyone."
"I see."
As the fact dawned upon Joyce, she clapped her hands in glee.
"This is wonderful! In that case, Nat, when did Anders return?"Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
