CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 48

“What is it?” Connor twisted the lollipop in his mouth.

Sharon blinked at her mother and added, “Mommy, I can help you too!”

“I know you are both very smart kids. However, Connor is able to help better this time. Next time, I’ll ask Sharon to help. How about that?” Natalie tickled her daughter.

Sharon burst into a fit of giggles and nodded, “Alright. I’ll help you next time then, Mommy!”

“What a good girl!” Natalie let go of her daughter and looked toward her son. “I need your amazing computer skills. Can you help me with my office’s security footages?”

She suspected that someone had tampered with the footage.

“You want to review your office’s security footage? Why?” Connor cocked his head to one side curiously.

“Because my drawings were stolen by someone.” Natalie rubbed her forehead and replied in a rather lethargic manner.

Connor’s face darkened the moment he heard this. His gaze turned sharp and stern as he asked, “Did someone bully you, Mommy?”

“Yes. That’s why I need your help.” Natalie held onto his adorable cheeks and looked at her son.

However, as she stared at her son, there was a complicated look on her face.

All of a sudden, she saw an uncanny resemblance between Shane and her son. He even looked identical to Shane when he was angry. How weird!

“Hmph, alright! I will definitely find out who bullied you, Mommy!” Connor promised and clenched his small fists in determination.

Natalie gave him a peck. “Thank you, Baby.”

“Mommy, I want a kiss too!” Sharon pleaded with her lips pouted. Seeing her brother getting love from Natalie made her upset when she didn’t get the same.

Natalie was speechless. She let go of her son and gave her daughter a peck on the cheeks. “Are you happy now, my princess?”

Instead of replying, she snuggled into Natalie’s arms and buried her face in her chest.

Connor pointed at his sister and laughed. “Mommy, Sharon is embarrassed that you called her a princess!”

“Shh!” Natalie placed her index finger on her lips, signaling Connor to speak no more. She felt her daughter’s body stiffened in her arms for a second. If Connor continued, the girl would be too embarrassed to go out.

Connor, being the smart kid that he was, simply nodded and fell silent. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

After a while, they arrived at the apartment.

Connor changed into his house slippers and ran toward his room.

On the other hand, Natalie took out some toys so that Sharon could play alone in the living room. She then poured a glass of milk and went to look for Connor in his bedroom.

The boy was seated in front of his computer, clicking away at his keyboard with a serious expression.

Natalie did not disturb him. She gently placed the glass of milk beside the computer and stood behind her son. Together, they looked at the computer screen, hoping for some results.

The screen displayed letters and alphabets that were jumbled together. It even flickered from time to time, making Natalie rather confused.

Despite having no idea of the technicalities, she was still very proud of her son.

A year ago, she brought her two children along to visit her mentor, Mercede Mackenzie. Mercede’s youngest son realized Connor’s talent and imparted his computer hacking skills to the young boy.

Within half a year, Connor became a top-notch hacker.

As a mother, she was worried that Connor was too young and might be manipulated by others for his hacking skills. Hence, she never allowed him to use his hacking skills.

For a brief moment, Connor paused and told his mother sternly, “Mommy, I managed to find something. Someone edited the security footage of your office.”

“I knew it!” Natalie pursed her lips in anger.

So, I was right! Why else would my drawings be missing if nobody touched my workstation? Turns out, there is indeed something wrong with the security footage.

“Baby, is it possible to restore the original footage?” she asked.

Connor placed the glass of milk down and licked his lips. He nodded confidently in response. “Of course! I can definitely do that.”

He then placed his hands back on the keyboard and started typing again. He was so fast that Natalie could not even catch up with his movements.

After a couple of minutes, Connor pressed “Enter” on the keyboard and exclaimed, “It’s done!”

Natalie leaned forward to take a closer look.

As she reviewed the original footage, her eyes widened in utter disbelief. “It’s her? H
