"Hi," Natalie greeted with a smile.

Sean sighed as if he was disappointed with her response. "Tch, you're still as cold to me as ever."

Natalie drank a mouthful of soup and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I'm just here to meet an important client when I saw you. Are those two your kids?" Sean pointed at the two children. "I've always known about their existence, but this is my first time actually meeting them."

"Mommy, do you know this Mister?" asked Connor as he pulled Sharon's hand and gave Sean a cautious look.

Natalie murmured an affirmative reply. "He's my ex-supervisor."

"Nat, we're more than boss and subordinate, right?" Sean looked at Sharon who was staring at him with her big eyes. He suddenly felt the urge to caress her cute face.

However, Connor slapped his hand away before he could even reach Sharon. "Don't touch my sister."

"Oh, little guy here has quite a temper." Sean looked at his hand and smiled even brighter. "Little guy, do you know who I am?"

"No I don't, I don't want to either!" Connor wrapped his arms around Sharon and said coldly.

Sean adjusted his glasses as he stared at Connor's face. He looks exactly like Shane.

This is so annoying.

He preferred the little girl.

"Little girl, did you just call me Mister just now?" Sean's eyes twinkled as he smiled gently at Sharon.

Natalie realized something was off as her face darkened. “Mr. Thompson, what are you trying to do?"

Sean ignored her as he trained his gaze on Sharon.

Sharon nodded subconsciously and murmured a weak reply.

The corner of Sean's lips curled up. "Little girl, you're mistaken. I'm not some mister. I'm your uncle, your father's big brother."

"What?"

"Mr. Thompson!"

Natalie and Connor shouted in unison.

The difference was that Connor was shocked whereas Natalie was flustered.

What is he trying to do? Is he going to tell them their identity?

Natalie stood up while still holding on to her spoon and looked at Sean nervously.

Sean pretended not to see her as he turned to face Connor.

Connor let go of Sharon, balled his fists, and stared at him. "Are you really our uncle?"

"In the flesh." Sean crossed his arms.

Connor trembled. "Then can you tell us who our Dad is?"

"Connor!" Natalie frowned in disapproval.

Connor gave her a look but did not give up on wanting to know more about his biological father.

Sharon was the only one who had yet to return to her senses as she was still trying to make heads or tails of what uncle meant.

"I can tell you all about him. But it seems like your mom disapproves." Sean waved his hand and pretended to be sorry.

Natalie scowled at him as she tried to figure out what he was getting at.

First, he piqued the kids' curiosity. Then, he refused to get straight to the point. Crazy fella!

"Mommy..." Connor looked at Natalie hopefully.

Natalie hardened her heart and turned away from him.

Connor's eyes dimmed.

Sean shrugged. "Well little guy, looks like your Mom disapproves of it. Forget it."

With that, he patted the back of Connor's head, grinned meaningfully at Natalie, and left.

Except for Sharon, Connor and Natalie had lost their appetite. Sean had ruined their family bonding time.

Connor lowered his head and fell deep into his thoughts. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Natalie seriously. "Mommy, is Dad's last name Thompson?"

He recalled Natalie had referred that guy as Mr. Thompson just now.
