CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1603

“That's right.” Lina let out a relieved sigh. “As long as you stay calm, I'll slowly calm down too.”

It was just like what she said earlier. The two of them were connected. If one became nervous, the other would certainly be affected by that emotion as well.

Similarly, if one were calm, the nervous one would slowly recompose themself as well.

Natalie took another sip of her coffee. “Let's talk about something else, then; let's skip the topic of the competition just in case we get agitated again.”

The competition had not officially started—they had half an hour more before it began, so they could chat for a little longer.

Lina agreed with her. After a moment of contemplation, she said, “By the way, Nat, didn't you say that Mr. Thompson's going to bring the kids over today?”

Natalie gave a hum of agreement. “Yes, he said he's bringing them here to cheer me on at the competition.”

At that, Natalie chuckled, her heart warmed by the recollection of his words.

Lina cast a jealous look at her. “How nice. If only Bryan were here too. What a pity he has a competition as well, so he won't be able to make it here.”

“It's fine. I'm sure he'll often come and watch your competitions in the future,” Natalie consoled as she patted Lina's shoulder.

Lina smiled. “I hope that's the case. All right, let's not talk about him anymore. It's not as if we're engaged. Let's talk about Mr. Thompson instead. When will he be coming? I miss Connor and Sharon! Sharon was interested in the bead necklace I was wearing the other time, so I promised to design one for her. I just completed it yesterday, and if Sharon's here, I can give it to her.”

Natalie had heard Sharon talk about that before. She replied, “No worries. Your bead necklace will be in Sharon's hands tonight.”

“I know. I'm just worried that Sharon won't like it,” Lina muttered as she rested her head on her palm.

Natalie sipped on her coffee and said, “Of course, she'll like it. Are you saying that I don't know how well you design? I'm certain that she'll adore it.”

“Well, in that case, I'll stop worrying about it.” Lina giggled. “Also, besides the necklace, I've prepared formal wear for Connor and Anders.”

“Connor and Anders?” Natalie froze. “Why do I not know about that?”

Lina waved dismissively. “It's a surprise, so I didn't tell you about it. I'll be giving Sharon the necklace, so I can't possibly be empty-handed for Connor and Anders, right? They're siblings, and they're your children. I can't pick a favorite between them, so I prepared gifts for them all.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The expression on Natalie's face softened. “Thank you, Lina.”

“Oh, hush, you.” Lina chuckled. “Although Joyce has become Sharon and Connor's godmother, I'm Anders' godmother. In a way, I'm also Connor and Sharon's godmother. Isn't it normal for me, a

godmother, to gift my godchildren presents? If you feel bad about this, you should give presents to my children once I have them in the future too.”

Natalie bobbed her head. “All right, it's settled, then. I'm going to be your children's godmother.”

“Of course! I'll be thrilled for my children to have such wealthy godparents!” Lina cried out, her eyes bright.

Natalie did not know whether to snort or huff at that. “Money grubber.”

Lina chuckled. “So be it. Who in this world doesn't love money? They'll do everything for money. A good example would be Lucy.”

The smile on Natalie's face faded by quite a bit at the mention of Lucy's name. Instead, a look of disgust appeared in her eyes.

Lina then waved her hands and uttered, “Forget about her.”

“You were the one who mentioned her.” Natalie rolled her eyes.

A flustered laugh escaped Lina. “I've always been one to speak before I think.”

“All right, all right.” Natalie shook her head in exasperation. “What did you prepare for Connor and Anders?”

“Accessories. Sharon's accessory is a bead necklace, so I thought I might as well be fair and equal for the siblings. So, I designed small computer-shaped and abacus-shaped crystal pendants for Connor.

Connor's good at hacking, after all, and he's the heir of Thompson Group. It's the best thing for him,” Lina said.
