“Yeah, he’s just left. Where’s your sister?” Natalie asked.
Connor climbed onto the sofa and leaned his head on her. “Sharon fell asleep. Mommy, I want to ask you a question.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Go ahead. Mommy will answer as best as I can.” Natalie kissed her son’s forehead.
Connor stared at her with those same dark eyes as Shane’s. “Mommy, who is our daddy?”
Natalie did not see this coming from him. She bit her lips and went silent for a while.
Judging from her expression, Connor tugged at her sleeves. “Mommy, you do know, right?”
Natalie nodded. “Mommy knows, but Mommy won’t tell you guys.”
“Why not?” Connor could not understand.
Natalie sighed. “It is because your daddy has a fiancée and will have a new family very soon. He will then have other children—do you still want to know now?”
Connor’s lips moved briefly, but his bright eyes finally turned dim and he shook his head.
Natalie hugged him in her arms. “Honey, why did you ask about this?”
Connor sniffed and almost sobbed as he replied, “Because the kids at the kindergarten said Sharon and I have no daddy. They even said that Mommy is shameless to be pregnant before marriage.”
“What?” Natalie was instantly livid and her gentle demeanor turned intimidating.
“Honey, why didn’t you tell Mommy sooner?” Natalie’s eyes reddened and swelled with tears.
Connor tightened his tiny fists and replied, “Because I didn’t want you to be upset.”
He and Sharon had originally made a promise to themselves that they would never tell their mother about this.
However, the kindergarten had organized a family event for the coming weekend, in which children would visit the park with their moms and dads. Aside from Connor and Sharon, all other kids in school would be accompanied by both parents.
That was why Connor could not help asking his question tonight.
Natalie felt incredibly guilty. “I’m sorry, my dear. I’m so sorry...”
She had no clue that her children went through this kind of pain.
It must have been the adults who taught these ugly words to their kids. Still, she would not let these people go when she found out who they were!
The next day, knowing about the kindergarten family event and remembering how Connor longed for a father, Natalie took a deep breath and knocked on Shane’s office door.
“Come in!” Shane’s cold voice came from inside.
Natalie pushed the door open and entered. “Mr. Shane, do you have time this weekend?”
“Why?” Shane put down the file in his hand and looked at her.
Natalie tightened her fists and mustered her courage. “The thing is, Connor and Sharon’s kindergarten is having a family event this weekend. You know about our situation, so...”
“So you want me to attend as their father?” Shane raised his eyebrows slightly; he immediately understood what she meant.
“Yes.” Natalie nodded.
Shane’s slender fingers tapped lightly on his office desk. “Why me? Don’t you have a Dr. Quinn by your side?”
Natalie rubbed her nose. “Stanley is busy.”
Upon hearing this, Shane’s expression became sullen at once.
So she only came to me just because she couldn’t find anyone else?
Shane was vexed when he thought about that. When he was about to refuse her request, a lazy voice came from the door. “You should come to me about this matter.”
Hmm?
Natalie turned her head around.
Holding a file, Sean walked in leisurely and stopped next to her.
“Mr. Sean,” Natalie greeted him politely.
Sean first glanced at Shane dully before shifting his gaze on Natalie. “I heard everything just now. You want to find your kids a dad for the family event. What if I go instead?”
He pointed at himself.
Shane scowled but said nothing. He only looked at Natalie to see how she would respond.
