CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie nodded. “Indeed. It's a meaningful gift.”

“That's right,” Lina agreed. “As for Anders, since Anders is physically weaker, I've designed a small crystal sculpture of the goddess of love as a pendant. Even though it's not as special as Connor's, this is the best thing for Anders. I hope Anders will recover so he can be a normal kid like the others.”

Natalie's heart melted, and her eyes even turned red. “Thank you so much, Lina.”

“Hey,” Lina started with a huff. “I just reminded you that I'm their godmother. Why are you thanking me for this?”

At Lina's deliberate gesture of impatience, Natalie shook her head and smiled again. “Okay, okay. I won't thank you anymore.”

“That's more like it,” Lina said in satisfaction.

After tossing the empty coffee can into a nearby bin, Natalie told her, “And I was wondering why you were going out so frequently lately. You were so vague when I asked you about it. So that's because you were preparing gifts for my kids.”

“That's right.” Lina nodded. “There aren't any gem-cutting machines in the villa, so I had to head out to the studios to rent their machines to make their gifts.”

“It must have been tiring.”

“It's nothing.” Lina shrugged. “It's not hard labor anyway, and I do like this. Moreover, I'm doing this for the kids I like, so it's nothing tiring for me. Everything's worth it as long as they like their presents.”

“Don't worry. They definitely will,” Natalie reassured.

Anders was still young, so he would not be able to give Lina an answer.

However, Natalie was certain that her two other children were children who would cherish presents given to them by others.

“I'm glad to hear that,” Lina told her as she stretched.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The host of the competition appeared and went on stage.

The chattering people immediately fell silent at that.

They knew that the appearance of the host meant the official start of the competition.

Indeed, once the host was on stage, he announced the start of the competition. Then, the theme was displayed on the screen above.

The moment the participants took in the theme, they began making preparations.

In the meantime, Shane's private jet had landed at the exclusive apron at the airport. Dozens of people came down the plane.

The two leading men were bodyguards.

Behind the bodyguards was Shane.

He was not holding the hands of the two children like he always did as he came down from the plane. Instead, he was carrying a child, who was tightly swathed in fabric.

That child was none other than Anders.

If Natalie were there—if she saw that Anders was not in the incubator and was in Shane's arms instead—she would have burst into tears on the spot, for that meant that Anders could finally be out of the incubator. It meant that he could live as a healthy child under the sun, independent from the incubator.
