What Is His Name
Natalie nodded and was about to get out of bed when someone knocked on the door. Then, the voices of
two children came from outside. “Daddy, Mommy, time to get up. It’s nearly noon.”
Hearing them, Natalie and Shane exchanged glances and smiled. Then, Shane went and opened the
door.
The two children looked up at him in unison.
Sharon placed her hands on her waist like a mini adult and reprimanded, “Daddy, my teacher said that
one should sleep early and wake up early. It is not good that you and Mommy slept until now.”
Connor always sided with his younger sister. Therefore, he agreed with whatever she said and nodded.
“That’s right.”
Shane looked at the serious expression on the children’s faces and smiled. “I’m sorry, Sharon. Your
mother and I acknowledge our faults. We won’t wake up this late anymore.”
“That’s much better. Going to bed and waking up early is good for your health. Daddy, you must
remember it. I don’t want you and Mommy to get sick,” Sharon said and fluttered her lashes.
Shane’s heart nearly melted from the adorable sight. He kneeled and enveloped both children into his
embrace before saying softly, “Yes, I will remember.”
“Daddy, where is Mommy?” Connor suddenly realized that he had not seen Natalie. He craned his neck
to look behind Shane.
Shane stood up and said, “Mommy is washing up.”
Then, he held the children’s hands and brought them into the room.
Shane and Natalie were exhausted and sleepy last night, so they did not do anything. Otherwise, he
would not allow the children into the room.
Natalie was washing up in the bathroom. She had just finished brushing her teeth when she saw her two
adorable children at the bathroom door, smiling at her sweetly.
Natalie approached them and pretended to be surprised. “Wow, whose adorable children are these?
What brings you to my home?”
Sharon giggled and replied, “I am Mommy and Daddy’s child.”
“Oh, what are your daddy and mommy’s names?” Natalie asked and wriggled Sharon’s nose.
Sharon blinked and thought before answering, “My mommy is Natalie Smith. My daddy is…”
Sharon could not recall his name, no matter how hard she thought. Thus, she pursed her lips as tears
filled her eyes. She looked adorable and pitiful.
“I’m sorry, Mommy. I forgot Daddy’s name,” Sharon said.
“You silly girl.” Connor sighed and spoke like a grown-up. “Sharon, you must remember this. Daddy’s
name is Shane Thompson.”
“Shane Thompson?” Sharon leaned her head sideways and repeated the name.
Connor nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Sharon repeated Shane’s name a couple more times before announcing happily, “Mommy, I know
Daddy’s name. It is Shane Thompson.”
“Good girl. Sharon, you are wonderful!” Natalie smiled and patted Sharon’s head.
Sharon touched her head and asked, “Mommy, I couldn’t remember Daddy’s name just now. Does this
mean I am a bad kid?”
“Why did you say that?” Natalie was puzzled.
She did not expect Sharon to ask such a question.
Sharon pursed her lips and answered, “My teacher said children must remember their parents’ names.
Otherwise, we won’t be able to answer if someone asks. Since I couldn’t remember Daddy’s name, does
this mean I am a bad kid? The other children in the kindergarten could remember their daddy’s name.”
“Oh, I see.” Natalie smiled and replied, “Sharon, you are not a bad kid. It’s not your fault. If anyone is at
fault, it is Daddy. His name is too difficult to remember.”
Natalie was not lying to comfort Sharon. Shane’s full name was a little too long for a four-year-old child to
remember.
If the child did not have a good memory, she could easily forget it.
After all, most children were not as smart as Connor.
“That’s right. It’s Daddy’s fault.” Connor nodded in agreement.
