Mrs. Wilson was smiling so wide her eyes were but small slits on her face. “Then do have more!”

“Okay!” Natalie nodded happily.

Thus, she stuffed herself till she was close to bursting.

After lunch was over, Shane went off to his study for a video conference.

Natalie moved to sit on the couch in the living room, cradling her food baby.

Mrs. Wilson came over with a glass of lemonade and offered it to Natalie. “Here, Ms. Smith.”

“Thanks.” Natalie took the glass from her gratefully.

Mrs. Wilson seated herself beside the younger woman. She scrutinized Natalie closely, though her gaze was kind.

A little uncomfortable at how the older woman was staring at her, Natalie self-consciously reached up to feel her face. “Mrs. Wilson, is there something on my face?”

“No, there isn’t. I’m just curious about you, that’s all. Ms. Smith, you’re the first guest Sir has ever brought back.”

“The first guest?” Natalie paused in drinking the lemonade. “Haven’t Dr. Baker, Mr. Shane’s fiancée, or Ms. Graham ever been here?”

The housekeeper shook her head. “No. Sir has never let them come here before. That’s why I was so surprised to see him bring you back last night, Ms. Smith.”
