“Darling, you said you carried Anders. Does that mean he can come out of the incubator now?” Natalie asked
excitedly.
“Yes, but not for too long. He can only be out for a few minutes at most. The doctor only agreed to let me hold him
for a little while. He was so tiny and light that I had to be very careful when holding him!” Shane replied, describing
his feelings when holding Anders earlier.
Natalie was close to tears when she heard that. “This is great! Anders is finally able to leave the incubator briefly!”
This is a sign that Anders will soon be able to leave the incubator for good!
“Exactly! Anders will no longer need the incubator once you're done with your competition. You can hold him in
your hands, then,” Shane said in a gentle and reassuring tone.
Natalie nodded. “Yeah, I haven't had a chance to hold him since he was born! You, on the other hand, beat me to
it!” she said while glaring at him in envy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane let out a chuckle. “Aw, are you jealous?”
“Of course I am! I'm his mother, so I should be the first one to hold him! I can't believe you took that privilege away
from me!” Natalie replied with a jealous pout.
Shane's smile widened as he said, “Hey, it's not my fault you were overseas. This makes it fair, though.”
“Fair? How so?” Natalie asked in confusion.
“I didn't know anything when you gave birth to Sharon and Connor, so I never had a chance to hold them.
Therefore, me getting to be the first to hold Anders makes it even, don't you think?” Shane explained.
Natalie froze for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. “You know what? You're right!”
“So, are you still jealous now?” Shane asked.
Natalie shook her head. “Oh, I was just messing with you! I am never really jealous, to begin with! We're both their
parents, so it doesn't matter who gets to hold them first.”
Shane flashed her a gentle and affectionate smile when he heard that.
Natalie tightened her grip on the phone as she asked excitedly, “Tell me, Darling, how did Anders look when you
held him? Is he cute?”
Shane nodded. “Oh, yes, he was absolutely adorable. Holding his tiny and soft body in my arms made my heart
melt.”
Natalie could almost visualize what it felt like, and her heart melted as well. “That's good to know.”
“You'll get to experience that yourself once your competition is over,” Shane said.
Natalie nodded profusely. “Yeah!”
The two continued chatting on the phone until it was late at night.
Natalie then put her phone down and went back to work. She was planning on finishing up her work before going to
bed.
Lina, who happened to be staying up working next to her, decided to tease her when she saw her ending the call.
“What's wrong? Aren't you going to continue chatting?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie flashed her a smile. “We've said all there is to say. That's why!”
Lina took a sip of her coffee. “Honestly, you have no idea how envious I am whenever I see you two act all lovey-
dovey over the phone!”
“Then you should hurry up and get together with that senior of yours! That way, you can act all lovey-dovey with
him too!” Natalie teased her in return.
Lina let out a sigh. “You think I don't want that? That guy is so dense that it's driving me nuts!”
“What's wrong?” Natalie asked curiously.
Lina massaged her forehead in frustration as she replied, “Remember how you asked me to test Bryan out and see
if he has any feelings for me? Well, I asked him what kind of girl he likes and if I'm his type. Guess what he said? He
said he finds jewelry more attractive than women! I can't believe how dense he is!”
“Pfft...” Natalie nearly burst out laughing when she heard that. “Well, Bryan is indeed a little dense, but that also
means he hasn't found a girl that he likes. You can try to win him over!”
