“I want to become someone like Daddy,” Connor pointed at Shane and said.
Shane’s eyes glinted in response. He straightened his body and asked, “You want to become someone like me?”
“Yes. I admire you, Daddy. So, I want to become someone like you. Someone who is respected by many people!” Connor clenched his two little fists hard and said in a determined manner.
The corner of Natalie’s lips twitched as she said nothing further.
He’s no doubt Shane Thompson’s son.
Shane had no idea what was on her mind. His thin lips curled into a slight smile. “It’s a good reason. Are you sure?”
“Yes!” Connor replied.
Sharon did not understand what was going on and nodded along.
Shane lifted his head and looked in Natalie’s direction.
The woman rubbed her forehead as she relented. “Alright then.”
She was not an authoritative mother, and communication was easy. Natalie would not deny her children of their wishes, not especially when it was going to be beneficial for them.
Natalie knew that grooming Connor to become an elite would be a good decision.
“Yay! Thank you Mommy!”
“Don’t thank me first.” Natalie put her finger on Connor’s lips and said, “I did promise to let you learn, but you need to promise me that you’ll still go to kindergarten in the morning, then you’re going to receive your training to become an elite after school. Do you understand?”
Shane cast a skeptical glance at Natalie.
Connor’s face fell. “Huh? I still have to go to the kindergarten?”
Natalie removed her finger on his lips and said, “Why? Are you saying no to our arrangement? Then, forget about the elite training.”
“No!” Connor clutched onto Natalie’s arms and said, “Mommy, I do, I understood!”
