Chapter 1622


    After Natalie had finished speaking, she removed her hand from Lina''s shoulder and turned to Zaylee.


    “Please carry Anders, Mdm. Zorus. We''re heading back now.”


    “Sure, Madam,” Zaylee replied with a nod. She then bent down and carefully carried Anders out of the


    crib.


    When Anders was lifted from his bed, his lips puckered slightly. He was so adorable that he could melt


    one''s heart.


    Pressing her hands against her chest, Lina squealed in a low voice, “Ah! Did you see that, Nat? How


    cute! Anders is simply adorable!”


    Natalie was tickled pink by her obsession with Anders. “Of course, I saw that. He''s my son, after all.”


    “No, I can''t help it! How about letting me hold Anders, Nat? Won''t you please allow me to carry him


    back to the vi?”


    While speaking, Lina reached out to take Anders.


    That time around, however, Natalie stopped her from doing so. “No way. You can carry him under


    normal circumstances, but not all the way back to the vi. When it''s thetter, it''s just for a short time,


    and you won''t feel tired. But if you were to cradle him for a long time, you''d definitely be exhausted.


    Besides, you''ve got no experience in holding a baby. Once you feel tired, you''ll subconsciously adjust


    your posture for greaterfort. Unfortunately, that posture might not necessarily be suitable for a


    baby whose bones are still developing. Do you understand, Lina?”


    “Madam is right. It''s best that you carry Anders when you''re sitting down, Ms. Cohen.” Zaylee agreed


    with Natalie.


    Realizing she might behave as Natalie had mentioned, Lina did not insist on carrying Anders. She


    sighed before inclining her head in acquiescence. “All right, then. For Anders'' sake, I''ll only hold him


    when we''re back at the vi.”

    Natalie shed her a smile. “This is more like it. Okay, let''s go out. Shane is probably anxious after


    waiting for such a long time.”


    After saying that, she helped Zaylee to lift Anders from the crib and stepped out of the room into the


    lounge.


    Shane was sitting on the couch, engaged in a call. When he saw the three womening out of the


    room, he dipped his head a fraction in acknowledgment and continued saying something or other to the


    person on the other end of the line.


    Without disrupting him, Natalie walked over and sat down beside him. Then, she reached out her arms


    and took Anders from Zaylee.


    After thepetition in the afternoon, she had not even carried him despite being his mother. Instead,


    Lina hogged the baby.


    Only then did she have the opportunity to cradle her youngest son.


    However, no sooner had she taken Anders from Zaylee than she sensed a scorching gaze on her. She


    had not even managed to adjust her posture to carry the baby properly.


    The instant she lifted her head, she was greeted by the sight of Lina gawking at Anders. Unbidden, the


    corners of her mouth twitched. “Lina, you...”


    Since she had been discovered, Lina did not bother feigning ignorance. After letting out a cough, she


    rubbed her hands while chuckling away. “Look, Nat, Mr. Thompson is on the phone right now. The


    other two kids aren''t here either, probably still asleep. Therefore, there''s definitely some time to spare


    before we leave. Why don''t you let me hold Anders for now?”


    Subsequently, she reached out to take Anders.


    s, Natalie leaned over to Shane with Anders in her arms and dodged Lina''s hands.


    “No way,” she uttered, turning her down mercilessly.


    Lina''s eyes widened in shock. “Why?”


    At that question, Natalie''s lips twitched once more. “Why else? Anders is my son. You''d been carrying


    him the entire evening, whereas I, his biological mother, hadn''t even gotten to do so. I''m not going to let


    you hog him now. Next time, maybe.”


    “Huh?” Immediately, Lina hung her head in dejection, and her eyes on Natalie brimmed with


    resentment.


    Turning away, Natalie pretended as though she was ignorant of it all. She tidied the nket around


    Anders with a tender maternal smile on her face.


    At the sight of her acting oblivious, Lina was forced to resign herself to the fact that she would not be


    able to steal Anders from Natalie. A sigh escaped her lips.


    At that precise moment, Natalie swiveled her eyes around. Then, she abruptly snapped her head over


    and beamed at Lina. “How about this, Lina? If you go and wake Connor and Sharon, I''ll allow you to


    carry Anders for a while when he wakes up.”


    The moment Lina heard her suggestion, her eyes lit up. Patting her chest, she vowed, “Don''t worry,


    Nat. I''ll go and wake Connor and Sharon right away! Remember what you promised me because I''ll


    hold you to your word. You must let me carry Anders when he wakes upter.”
