Since that was the only door closed, there was a high chance Anders was inside.
Watching Natalie run toward where Anders was, Shane shook his head with a gentle smile.
It's probably her motherly instinct at work. Despite not asking about him, she can
accurately sense Anders' location.
“Daddy, Mommy seems to know that Anders is here.” Sharon and Connor looked up at
Shane in unison.
Placing one hand on the children's heads each, Shane looked in Natalie's direction as he
replied in a gentle voice, “Considering how smart Mommy is, all she needs is a little clue
to guess Anders' location.”
Even if we didn't give her one, she would still find him in the end. At most, she'll take a
little more time.
Connor nodded at once. “You're right, Daddy. If Mommy wasn't smart, she wouldn't have
given birth to someone as clever as I am.”
“You're such a narcissist.” Sharon rolled her eyes at him.
Connor widened his eyes in response. “You're calling me a narcissist? Also, where did you
learn that word from?”

Sharon's intelligence was that of an ordinary child. She was just physically bigger than
children of her own age.
As a result, Connor was surprised that she knew that word.
Sharon blinked before replying, “My coach told me about it. He said that whoever likes to
praise themselves is a narcissist. Isaque is clearly no match for me in kickboxing class, yet
he likes to claim that he's the best. That was when the coach called him a narcissist.”
The words caused Connor's lips to twitch. “Sharon, you had better forget that word.”
“Why?” Sharon asked quizzically.
Connor puffed his chest as he replied, “This word isn't suitable to be used by someone
your age.”
“But, Connor, aren't you just as old as I am?”
“I'm different.” Connor snorted smugly. “You're still in kindergarten while I'm preparing to
go to university. Mentally, we're of different ages.”
He subsequently gestured to indicate a high level. “My mental age is so much higher than
yours!”
Sharon pouted in response. “You act no differently from me on a daily basis. I can't see
how your mental age is any different too.”
“Haha.” Shane couldn't help but chuckle in amusement when he heard the children argue.
After shaking his head in resignation, he held both their hands. “Enough of such talk. Let's
go and see Mommy and Anders.”
“Okay.” Sharon was filled with elation to hear that they were going to see her brother.
She was really fond of him, after all.
Connor, who also shared her sentiments, nodded repeatedly before walking ahead with
Shane in tow. “Daddy, let's hurry.”
Upon humming in acknowledgment, Shane led the children to Natalie's side.
Meanwhile, when Natalie arrived at the tightly-closed door, she placed her hand on the
doorknob and took a deep breath. After suppressing her racing heart, she gave the
doorknob a twist.
The door opened to reveal a room covered in darkness, as the light had yet to be turned
on.
Nevertheless, it didn't bother Natalie, for she could smell a thick milky scent in the air.
It consequently intensified her conviction that Anders was inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust the thought of it alone accelerated Natalie's breath. She then raised her hand to turn
on the room's light.
Soon, the entire room was clearly illuminated.
Natalie saw, in the middle of the room, a big bed. Right beside it was a luxurious-looking
baby cot.
Through the rails of the baby cot, she could clearly see a bump inside it.
There was no doubt in her mind that it was Anders.
Natalie's fists were tightly clenched, while the emotions welling up inside her caused her
body to tremble uncontrollably.
With her knees feeling as if they would buckle any time, she trudged forward to the baby
cot.
Arriving by its side, Natalie looked down to be greeted by the sight of a baby sleeping
soundly with its eyes closed.
Even though the baby looked different from a month ago, she knew that it was Anders
still.
The maternal bond she had with him would never lie.
