After all, she had done nothing wrong. Instead, it was all his doing.

So when Sharon took the blame, he, as her father, felt rather irresponsible.

“Sharon.” Shane bent down and ruffled Sharon's hair. In a gentle tone, he stated, “This is not your fault. It's my fault.”

“Your fault, Daddy?” Sharon tilted her head in bewilderment.

Shane nodded. “Yes. It's my fault. I didn't take care of you, and that was how you got sick. Consequently, your mommy had to wait longer.”

“I don't blame you, Daddy.” Sharon held his hand and added, “I should listen to you and not kick the blanket away when I sleep. This is not on you, Daddy.”

“You don't blame me?” Shane looked at Sharon.

Sharon nodded. “I don't.”


Shane then chuckled softly in response. “Good, then. Since you don't blame me for not taking good care of you, you shouldn't blame yourself as well. After all, it's not your fault you got sick. How could you have known that you would kick your blanket away when you were asleep? Don't blame yourself, okay?”

“Oh.” Sharon smiled and nodded. “All right.”

“Good.” Shane kissed her cheek before doing the same to Connor.

Since they were both his children, he would love them equally.

Lina was there to witness the whole interaction. Impressed, she uttered, “I didn't know you were so good at handling the kids, Mr. Thompson.”

“Of course. They're my kids.” Shane shot her a cold glance. If anyone is to be blamed, it's her. She should watch what she says. If she had kept her mouth shut, Sharon wouldn't have gotten curious. Hence, she wouldn't have blamed herself.

Lina noticed his look right away. She then averted her gaze sheepishly.

Shane couldn't be bothered. He carried Sharon with one arm and held Connor's hand with the other before heading toward the dining room for breakfast.

Although the kids had already had breakfast, they could eat again.

Shane just didn't want the kids to stay with Lina. Who knows what weird things that woman is going to say to them again to pique their curiosity?

Natalie only woke up at eleven that morning.

She couldn't help but twitch her lips when she noticed the messy sheets and the hickeys all over her body. Right then, she recalled the wild moments she had the night before. Her memory of the events was so vivid that she started blushing.
