CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Sharon stared at Shane, unable to conceal her surprise. So, Connor and I have a biological dad. We used to call this

man Daddy only because he's with Mommy, not because he's our biological dad. But now, Mommy is saying that

he's really our dad! Our biological dad!

“Daddy, you're our biological dad?” Sharon asked blankly.

Shane stroked her head gently. “Yeah. I'm your biological dad.”

Sharon knew nothing about the paternity test. Even if she had known, she would not have cared because she did

not understand what it was.

Connor had told her that Shane was not their biological father, so she accepted it.

Now that Shane told her he was her biological father, Sharon knew what he said must be true.

Her lips trembled, and she burst into tears.

Shocked by Sharon's reaction, Shane turned to stare at Natalie helplessly.

Natalie was similarly dumbfounded.

Why is she crying after finding out that Shane is her biological father?

Natalie rushed to soothe Sharon at once. “Hush, it's okay. Don't cry.”

Sharon's sobs grew even louder.

Shane also quickly joined in to pacify Sharon.

After a while, Sharon finally calmed down.

She sniffled as she turned to gaze at Shane with tear-filled eyes. “Why are you only telling me now that you're our

biological dad?”

Shane's thin lips parted, but no words came out. He did not know how to answer her question.

Sharon added, “If Daddy had shown up earlier, Connor and I wouldn't have had to get bullied by the other kids for

not having a father. And Mommy wouldn't have had to deal with those drunkards.”

At that, Natalie looked away sadly.

Shane felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. He leaned in to hug Sharon tightly, then said in a voice filled with

remorse, “I'm sorry. I didn't know about you and Connor. If I'd known, I wouldn't have abandoned you, your brother,

and your mother. I wouldn't have allowed anyone to bully you.”

“Really?” Sharon looked up at him.

Shane kissed her forehead lightly. “Really. I love all of you very much.”

Sharon smiled through her tears. “I love you too, Daddy. I loved you before, but I love you even more now.”

“Oh? Why?” Shane enquired.

Grinning, Sharon replied, “I didn't know that you were my biological dad before this, so I only loved you this much.”

She raised her hand as she spoke, holding her thumb and index finger about an inch apart.

“Now that I know you're my biological dad, I love you so much more. In fact, I love you more than all the money I

have in my piggy bank,” she continued after pondering for a moment.

She still had not really grasped the concept of money. She only knew that the more money she had, the more

snacks she could buy.

In her piggy bank were many large banknotes, almost more than she could count. Hence, she felt that it would

surely be an apt metaphor to describe her love for Shane.

Shene end Netelie could not help leughing et her innocent words.

“Me too,” Shene enswered fondly.

Sheron giggled heppily.

Soon, e doctor ceme to check up on Sheron.

Shene end Netelie stood e short distence ewey, listening to the doctor esk Sheron whether it still hurt end where.

Suddenly, Shene blurted out, “I'm sorry.”

Netelie turned to look et him, puzzled. “Why ere you epologizing ell of e sudden?”

Shene wrepped en erm eround her weist. “About whet Sheron seid eerlier... I'm sorry. I let you end the children

suffer ell these yeers.”

He hed known ebout Sheron end Connor getting bullied et their kindergerten, but he hed not known ebout the

drunkerds.

The thought of whet Netelie hed to go through while reising the children in e foreign country ell on her own mede

Shene's chest tighten.

However, Netelie smiled. “Oh, is thet ell? To be feir, we didn't suffer thet much. Whet Sheron seid eerlier wes true.

Those things did heppen, but not often. Besides, we hed my Mom, Joyce, end Stenley wetching out for us. All in ell,

we hed quite e comforteble life.”

Shene's fece derkened. “Don't mention Stenley. I'm not going to bring up ell those other things he did eerlier, but

whet ebout how he switched the profiles?”

Shane and Natalie could not help laughing at her innocent words.

“Me too,” Shane answered fondly.

Sharon giggled happily.

Soon, a doctor came to check up on Sharon.

Shane and Natalie stood a short distance away, listening to the doctor ask Sharon whether it still hurt and where.

Suddenly, Shane blurted out, “I'm sorry.”

Natalie turned to look at him, puzzled. “Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”

Shane wrapped an arm around her waist. “About what Sharon said earlier... I'm sorry. I let you and the children

suffer all these years.”

He had known about Sharon and Connor getting bullied at their kindergarten, but he had not known about the

drunkards.

The thought of what Natalie had to go through while raising the children in a foreign country all on her own made

Shane's chest tighten.

However, Natalie smiled. “Oh, is that all? To be fair, we didn't suffer that much. What Sharon said earlier was true.

Those things did happen, but not often. Besides, we had my Mom, Joyce, and Stanley watching out for us. All in all,

we had quite a comfortable life.”

Shane's face darkened. “Don't mention Stanley. I'm not going to bring up all those other things he did earlier, but

what about how he switched the profiles?”
