CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Since that was the only door closed, there was a high chance Anders was inside.

Watching Natalie run toward where Anders was, Shane shook his head with a gentle smile.

It's probably her motherly instinct at work. Despite not asking about him, she can accurately sense Anders' location.

“Daddy, Mommy seems to know that Anders is here.” Sharon and Connor looked up at Shane in unison.

Placing one hand on the children's heads each, Shane looked in Natalie's direction as he replied in a gentle voice, “Considering how smart Mommy is, all she needs is a little clue to guess Anders' location.”

Even if we didn't give her one, she would still find him in the end. At most, she'll take a little more time.

Connor nodded at once. “You're right, Daddy. If Mommy wasn't smart, she wouldn't have given birth to someone as clever as I am.”

“You're such a narcissist.” Sharon rolled her eyes at him.

Connor widened his eyes in response. “You're calling me a narcissist? Also, where did you learn that word from?”

Sharon's intelligence was that of an ordinary child. She was just physically bigger than children of her own age.

As a result, Connor was surprised that she knew that word.

Sharon blinked before replying, “My coach told me about it. He said that whoever likes to praise themselves is a narcissist. Isaque is clearly no match for me in kickboxing class, yet he likes to claim that he's the best. That was when the coach called him a narcissist.”

The words caused Connor's lips to twitch. “Sharon, you had better forget that word.”

“Why?” Sharon asked quizzically.

Connor puffed his chest as he replied, “This word isn't suitable to be used by someone your age.”

“But, Connor, aren't you just as old as I am?”

“I'm different.” Connor snorted smugly. “You're still in kindergarten while I'm preparing to go to university. Mentally, we're of different ages.”

He subsequently gestured to indicate a high level. “My mental age is so much higher than yours!”

Sharon pouted in response. “You act no differently from me on a daily basis. I can't see how your mental age is any different too.”

“Haha.” Shane couldn't help but chuckle in amusement when he heard the children argue. After shaking his head in resignation, he held both their hands. “Enough of such talk. Let's go and see Mommy and Anders.”

“Okay.” Sharon was filled with elation to hear that they were going to see her brother.

She was really fond of him, after all.

Connor, who also shared her sentiments, nodded repeatedly before walking ahead with Shane in tow. “Daddy, let's hurry.”

Upon humming in acknowledgment, Shane led the children to Natalie's side.

Meanwhile, when Natalie arrived at the tightly-closed door, she placed her hand on the doorknob and took a deep breath. After suppressing her racing heart, she gave the doorknob a twist.

The door opened to reveal a room covered in darkness, as the light had yet to be turned on.

Nevertheless, it didn't bother Natalie, for she could smell a thick milky scent in the air.
