CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 28

“I know. Connor told me just now,” interrupted Shane.

Connor raised his head and stared at him suspiciously.

That’s odd!

Why does he know my name?

However, Natalie did not mull over it, simply assuming that Connor had introduced himself when he looked for Shane.

“Since you know everything, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Actually, this is the kids’ idea. I didn’t intend to find a father for them to join this game.”

“So, you don’t need my help?” Shane stared at her.

“Yeah.” Natalie nodded.

Actually, it did not matter much if the kids found a stranger to act as their father. After all, it was just a game.

However, the person could be anyone but Shane!

Not only was he her superior, but he was also Jasmine’s fiancé. Thus, she must not interact with him in a private setting outside of work. Otherwise, if Jasmine found out, she would definitely seek her out.

Although she was not afraid of Jasmine, she found it to be extremely troublesome. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Okay, then I’ll...”

“Mommy!” interrupted Connor quickly before Shane could finish his sentence. “If you don’t let him join the game, what’ll happen to Sharon’s teddy bear?”

“Mommy, I want the teddy bear.” Sharon was starting to feel anxious.

Contemplating for a while, Natalie came up with an idea and tried to negotiate with her, “Why don’t I buy you one?”

“No! I only want that one.” Sharon refused to relent.

Biting her lips, Natalie said, “But...”

“You’re a liar!” Sharon’s eyes reddened as she pouted unhappily. “You promised that you’ll help me win the teddy bear, but you’re going against your words now. That’s really mean of you, Mommy.”

With that, she spun around and ran toward Shane with her chubby legs. She grabbed his hand and swayed it. “Mister, can you please help me? I really want that teddy bear.”

Looking at Sharon, who was on the verge of tears, Shane’s heart softened. “Sure, but your Mommy must agree first.”

“Mommy...” Sharon glanced at Natalie again.

Connor, who always doted on his little sister, did not want to see her disappointed. Hence, he also pleaded with Natalie.

Natalie was still feeling guilty over what Sharon had said earlier. Meeting her children’s eager gazes, she sighed deeply and agreed at last.

“Thank you for your help, Mr. Shane.” She smiled at Shane embarrassedly.

Forget it.

It’s just this one time.

I’ll stay away from him in the future.

“You’re welcome. It’s just a small favor,” replied Shane indifferently.

Seeing that her mother had finally agreed, Sharon was overjoyed. She quickly dragged Shane to the venue, afraid that Natalie would change her mind again if she did not act fast.

Natalie naturally understood her daughter well. Chuckling, she shook her head, held Connor’s hand, and followed behind.

Looking at her daughter and Shane walking in front, her gaze suddenly became unfocused.

Both of them really look like father and daughter.

“Connor, where did you find Mr. Shane?” asked Natalie.

“Upstairs!” Connor pointed towards the second floor.

Natalie raised her head and glanced at it. “I see. You shouldn’t do this in the future, okay? It’ll cause trouble to them and also make Mommy embarrassed.”

“I understand. Don’t worry, Mommy. I won’t do it again,” promised Connor as he patted his chest.

Smiling, Natalie stroked his head gently and said, “Alright, baby. I believe you.”

As they spoke, they reached the venue.

The middle-aged man from earlier walked over with two red ropes and passed one each to Connor and Natalie.

Connor grabbed the rope, bent down, and tied his leg with Sharon’s.

Then, the twins eagerly waited for the game to start.

On the other hand, Natalie stared at the gap between Shane and herself. Feeling troubled, she did not know how to make the first move.

How do I tie this when he’s standing so far away?

Rubbing her forehead exasperatedly, she mustered her courage and moved closer to Shane. “Mr. Shane, I’m going to tie our legs together. Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable.”
