Chapter 1316
Suddenly, Shane came over and heard what Connor said. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why
are you ming me?”
Natalie smiled and exined what happened.
After Natalie had exined, Shane patted Sharon''s head and said, “Mommy is right. It''s my fault.”
“I don''t me Daddy.” Sharon shook her head. “It''s my fault for not remembering. There''s nothing
wrong with Daddy''s name.”
Shane raised his eyebrows.
He did not expect Sharon to say something soforting and surprising.

She was truly his daughter.
Natalie was also surprised for a moment and said with a smile, “All right. Let''s not me anyone.
Connor, can you bring Sharon outside to y? Daddy and I haven''t finished washing up. We will go to
youter.”
“Sure.” Connor nodded and led Sharon away.
Then, Shane entered the bathroom and said, “Sharon has matured a lot.”
“Yes.” Natalie nodded.
Shane took an electric toothbrush. “Perhaps the things that happened recently prompted Sharon to
mature.”
Shane had gone missing recently. Later, Natalie disappeared too.
When Shane was missing, Natalie brought Connor back to the country to search for him. However,
Sharon had to remain alone overseas.
Later, when Natalie was missing, Connor stayed with Sharon, so she was not alone. Nevertheless, in
Sharon''s eyes, it was the second time her parents had abandoned her.
ording to Sally and Joyce, Sharon kept waking up in the middle of the night from nightmares during
the time when Natalie and Shane were missing. Sharon even cried many times. However, she did not
tell them.
Natalie and Shane felt they had failed Sharon.
“We owe Sharon a lot.” Shane brushed his teeth and continued solemnly, “Much more than we owe
Connor.”
Natalie looked at herself in the mirror and replied with a pang of guilt, “Yes, you''re right.”
“Furthermore, Sharon nearly lost her life in the fight we had with Jacqueline.” Shane gripped his
toothbrush tightly.
Natalie''s eyes grew red. “We should make it up to Sharon.”
“Of course.” Shane nodded.
Shane decided that he would dote on Sharon. He would shield and protect her as her father no matter
what she did unless it was not morally wrong.
Of course, he would do the same for Sharon even if he did not feel guilty for hurting her with his
disappearance.
After washing up, Natalie and Shane changed their clothes and went downstairs.
The children were sitting on the couch in the living room, whispering about something.
They immediately stopped speaking when they saw Natalie and Shaneing downstairs. It looked
like they had a secret.
Natalie asked the children what they were talking about, but they quickly changed the topic. Then, the
children held hands and ran toward the dining room.
Natalie and Shane followed behind the children.
Natalie turned to Shane. “The children must be nning something.”
Shane chuckled and said, “I know. Let them be. Since it is their secret, we as parents should respect
it.”
“Of course. Although I am curious, I won''t force the children to tell me if they don''t want to.” Natalie
shrugged.
After lunch, Natalie and Shane yed with the children before heading to their respective offices.
When Natalie arrived at thepany, her assistant brought her a stack of blueprints that required her
approval. “Ms. Smith, these are the blueprints that require your screening. The textile mill is rushing
us.”
“Sure, put them there. I will look at them in a while,” Natalie replied with a smile.
The assistant put down the blueprints and said, “By the way, Ms. Smith. Do we need to promote or
appoint a director to take over Ms. Rivers'' duties?”
“Huh?” Natalie frowned immediately. “What did you say? Did you ask me to appoint a director to take
over Joyce''s work?”
“Yes.” The assistant nodded.
Natalie''s expression darkened. “Who told you to appoint a director to take over Joyce''s work?”
It meant someone wanted Natalie to find a director to rece Joyce and remove her from her position
in thepany.
That way, Joyce would only own shares in thepany but would lose her power as the vice
president.
