CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1316

Suddenly, Shane came over and heard what Connor said. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why are you blaming me?”

Natalie smiled and explained what happened.

After Natalie had explained, Shane patted Sharon's head and said, “Mommy is right. It's my fault.”

“I don't blame Daddy.” Sharon shook her head. “It's my fault for not remembering. There's nothing wrong with Daddy's name.”

Shane raised his eyebrows.

He did not expect Sharon to say something so comforting and surprising. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She was truly his daughter.

Natalie was also surprised for a moment and said with a smile, “All right. Let's not blame anyone. Connor, can you bring Sharon outside to play? Daddy and I haven't finished washing up. We will go to you later.”

“Sure.” Connor nodded and led Sharon away.

Then, Shane entered the bathroom and said, “Sharon has matured a lot.”

“Yes.” Natalie nodded.

Shane took an electric toothbrush. “Perhaps the things that happened recently prompted Sharon to mature.”

Shane had gone missing recently. Later, Natalie disappeared too.

When Shane was missing, Natalie brought Connor back to the country to search for him. However, Sharon had to remain alone overseas.

Later, when Natalie was missing, Connor stayed with Sharon, so she was not alone. Nevertheless, in Sharon's eyes, it was the second time her parents had abandoned her.

According to Sally and Joyce, Sharon kept waking up in the middle of the night from nightmares during the time when Natalie and Shane were missing. Sharon even cried many times. However, she did not tell them.

Natalie and Shane felt they had failed Sharon.

“We owe Sharon a lot.” Shane brushed his teeth and continued solemnly, “Much more than we owe Connor.”

Natalie looked at herself in the mirror and replied with a pang of guilt, “Yes, you're right.”

“Furthermore, Sharon nearly lost her life in the fight we had with Jacqueline.” Shane gripped his toothbrush tightly.

Natalie's eyes grew red. “We should make it up to Sharon.”

“Of course.” Shane nodded.

Shane decided that he would dote on Sharon. He would shield and protect her as her father no matter what she did unless it was not morally wrong.

Of course, he would do the same for Sharon even if he did not feel guilty for hurting her with his disappearance.

After washing up, Natalie and Shane changed their clothes and went downstairs.

The children were sitting on the couch in the living room, whispering about something.

They immediately stopped speaking when they saw Natalie and Shane coming downstairs. It looked like they had a secret.

Natalie asked the children what they were talking about, but they quickly changed the topic. Then, the children held hands and ran toward the dining room.

Natalie and Shane followed behind the children.

Natalie turned to Shane. “The children must be planning something.”

Shane chuckled and said, “I know. Let them be. Since it is their secret, we as parents should respect it.”

“Of course. Although I am curious, I won't force the children to tell me if they don't want to.” Natalie shrugged.

After lunch, Natalie and Shane played with the children before heading to their respective offices.

When Natalie arrived at the company, her assistant brought her a stack of blueprints that required her approval. “Ms. Smith, these are the blueprints that require your screening. The textile mill is rushing us.”

“Sure, put them there. I will look at them in a while,” Natalie replied with a smile.

The assistant put down the blueprints and said, “By the way, Ms. Smith. Do we need to promote or appoint a director to take over Ms. Rivers' duties?”

“Huh?” Natalie frowned immediately. “What did you say? Did you ask me to appoint a director to take over Joyce's work?”

“Yes.” The assistant nodded.

Natalie's expression darkened. “Who told you to appoint a director to take over Joyce's work?”

It meant someone wanted Natalie to find a director to replace Joyce and remove her from her position in the company.

That way, Joyce would only own shares in the company but would lose her power as the vice president.
