CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1765

Chapter 1765 Delivering Anders Safely

Just as he intended, Shane slept for only a brief while in the end. About an hour later, he opened his eyes and got up.

The moment he woke up, his first instinct was to look at his wife beside him.

She was still sleeping and showed no signs of waking up.

Shane gently caressed his wife's rosy cheeks, his touch lingering for a while before he reluctantly withdrew his hand. He then lifted the quilt to get up and headed toward the bathroom.

By the time he finished washing up and came out, dawn had already broken.

Shane changed his clothes and quietly left the room.

At that moment, the villa's living room was already filled with quite a number of people, all of them uniformed bodyguards.

It went without saying that Silas was there, along with Stanley who was sitting on the sofa.

At that moment, Stanley was dressed casually in white, sitting on the sofa and calmly sipping his morning coffee. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

He had always enjoyed Shane's coffee collection which came from the most exotic of regions.

He could afford them but just didn't have them readily available like the super-rich Shane did.

Even then, he would always drink them sparingly due to how precious they were.

However, there was no such concern at Shane's villa. Since he was drinking Shane's coffee instead of his own, he didn't feel the slightest pinch at all. Therefore, there was absolutely no need for him to drink sparingly.

Since he was there, he might as well drink up. After all, he wasn't sure if he would get a second chance to do so.

At that moment, Silas, who was occasionally glancing at his watch, suddenly noticed Shane descending the stairs. He quickly greeted Shane, “Mr. Thompson.”

The bodyguards behind him, upon hearing the greeting, quickly stood at attention and simultaneously exclaimed, “Mr. Thompson.”

The scene at that moment was incredibly magnificent. Yet there was one person who disrupted the formation—Stanley.

Stanley was not a subordinate of Shane's, so naturally, he wouldn't behave like them by greeting the latter as soon as he arrived.

He remained seated on the sofa, not even bothering to stand up. He held his teacup in his hand as if he hadn't noticed Shane at all.

Shane was carefully descending the stairs, one hand holding the railing for support, while the other a swaddled baby. Behind him was Zaylee carrying a bag of baby supplies.

In response to everyone's greeting, Shane gave a slight nod as a form of acknowledgment.

Soon, Shane, holding the sleeping Anders, arrived in front of Silas and asked in a deep voice, “Is everything ready?”

“Don't worry, Mr. Thompson. Everything is ready.” Silas nodded.

Shane hummed in acknowledgment and had no further questions. Instead, he lowered his head to look at the baby in his arms.

The baby was sleeping soundly with its tiny hands—half-clenched into fists—resting on its chest. Every now and then, it would stir slightly. Its small mouth would mumble a few words as if it was talking. Watching it, Shane's eyes were filled with tenderness, while his heart felt like melting.

After that, he cast aside the paternal look in his eyes and handed Anders over to Silas. “Please make sure you take him to Connor and Sharon safely.”

“Alright, I surely will.” Silas took Anders with both hands, cradling him carefully.

Watching Anders continue to sleep in Silas' arms, Shane couldn't help but chuckle lightly. He then reached out and tapped Ander's nose. “You're still so innocent. You don't even know to open your eyes when someone else is holding you. Someone might lure you away with a piece of candy in the future.”

Silas chuckled warmly. “Mr. Thompson, it's not like that. Mr. Anders recognizes my scent. That's why he knows it's me carrying him and not a stranger. If it were a stranger, he would definitely open his eyes to take a look.”

“Hopefully. Well, it's getting late, let's get going. Contact me as soon as you arrive,” Shane said, glancing at his watch and gesturing with his hand.

Silas retracted the smile on his face and nodded seriously. “Yes, Mr. Thompson.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he headed toward the villa's main gate with Anders in his arms, accompanied by Zaylee and the group of bodyguards.

These bodyguards were all assigned by Shane to protect Anders and ensure his safe arrival at his destination.

Moreover, he also appointed Silas as the main person in charge of the task.

The main reason was that the only person he truly trusts was Silas. He would feel less at ease if he handed Anders over to a bodyguard instead.
