CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie knew she was putting her pride before her children if she had rejected the man's offer to help.

“There's no need to thank me. I'm Connor's father after all. It is my responsibility to do so,” Shane looked at the twins and said as he pulled out the chair for Natalie.

A wave of apprehension washed over her all of a sudden.

Shane noticed her odd demeanor and cast a sideways glance at the woman, “What's the matter with you?”

She forced a smile and said, “Nothing.”

Shane sensed that the woman was not being truthful. His face sank but the man said nothing further.

Natalie heaved a sigh of relief after taking her seat.

The man's remark of him being Connor's father gave her a jolt. She thought the man had found that Connor was indeed his biological son.

Having said that, she was grateful that the man was willing to provide the best for the two children despite not knowing their true identities. Natalie decided to just come clean to Shane about the kids after some time.

Then, Natalie patted herself on the cheeks to snap out of her thoughts, and she started to take her breakfast.
