Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

When Charlotte returned home, she recalled what Christopher had told her.

Elaine had mocked her mother many times, and she had also heard the conversation on the phone. Even if Christopher hadn’t asked Elaine to hurt her mother, was it possible that Elaine did it on her own, but Christopher didn’t know about it?

It was possible.

As long as there was this possibility, she would not let Elaine off.

Charlotte clenched her fists and drank cup after cup of water in the kitchen.

“Mommy, what’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?”

“Don’t come over.” Charlotte’s manner was extremely cold as she turned her head to look at Sheryl. The look she gave was frigid.

Sheryl’s eyes widened in disbelief. Why was her Mommy being so mean to her?

She pouted and burst into tears.

Charlotte was agitated by her crying, but she didn’t go to sooth the little girl. She was really in a mess now. Children were living, breathing creatures. She had even broken a cup just now. What if she accidentally damaged Sheryl?

Upon hearing the crying, Rick came to the kitchen. He had come back to get some documents and was about to leave. But when he reached the door, he heard Sheryl crying.

He walked over and lifted the little girl into his arms. “Sheryl, don’t cry.”

“Sob… Mommy is being mean to me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why did she lose her temper with me? I want Daddy. Sob…”

“You don’t have a daddy!” Charlotte suddenly exploded and shrieked like a banshee. “Sheryl Emerson, listen very carefully. You don’t have a father!”

Sheryl cried even harder, “Sob. You’re lying! I have a father, but you played hard to get and drove him away, just like you want to kick me out now!”

Since when did she want to drive the little girl away?

Charlotte said irritably, “You came from my womb. I’ve raised you with all my heart. Why would I kick you out?”

“Sob…” Sheryl didn’t care about this.

Charlotte’s head started to ache even more.

Rick kept patting Sheryl’s back and said, “Darling, can I be your Daddy?”

When she heard this, Sheryl immediately stopped crying. At first, she shook her head hard, then nodded and whispered, “I like Daddy. And I like Uncle Rick very much. Can I… can I have both?”

“Of course, I love you very much.”

“But I want Mommy to be with Daddy.” She sniffed. “Daddy is great and considerate. And he really likes me.”

“What if… And I’m only saying ‘what if’, Mommy doesn’t like Daddy but likes Uncle Rick instead? And I really like you too. I can promise you that I’ll only have you as my child. I will always love you…”

“If Mommy likes you then I like you too.”

Children would be children.

A second ago, she could be crying from a cold glare. The next second, she could be thinking about her mother’s future.

Charlotte’s eyes suddenly turned red. “Sheryl, I didn’t mean to yell at you…”

“Humph.” The little girl turned her head away, lay on Rick’s shoulder, and whispered to him, “Uncle Knight, you and Mommy are well matched. I have no objection. You can’t be mean to me.”

This little kid.

Rick touched her head and said, “I love you so much, how could I be mean to you? I know you haven’t been able to see your favorite great-grandmother. And now your Mommy’s being mean to you. That’s why you threw a tantrum.”

“Hehe…” The little girl laughed embarrassedly. “Uncle, how did you know that I’m missing Great-grandma.”

“You don’t have any other friends.”

“But, I also heard from Aunt Anne that Great-grandma has returned to her city.” Sheryl lowered her head.

“You can make a video call.”

A video call!

It was the first time that Sheryl learned about such a thing.

Rick spent two hours teaching the little girl how to make a video call. She couldn’t wait to go call her great-grandmother. She had even called Rick “godfather” in a childish tone. Of course, it was Rick who coaxed her into calling him “godfather”.

Rick went back to the kitchen.

When he saw that Charlotte’s face was still full of regret, he laughed, “Did you spend two hours standing here all alone?”

Only then did Charlotte return to her senses. She had been in a daze. She got very tired standing there, but she didn’t know where to go. Exhausted, she smiled at him and said, “I’m fine, I…”

“Would you honor me by having a meal with me?”

“Aren’t you going back to the office?”

“I’m the CEO. Who’s going to fire me?”

Charlotte smiled. That was indeed true.

Rick chose a relatively quiet restaurant.

Charlotte was still troubled by Christopher’s words. She didn’t have much interest even in the food she liked. Rick didn’t ask her any questions and just stayed by her side quietly.

When Rick poured Charlotte another drink, she said, “Today, Zoe and I went to see Christopher.”

“Yes. I was there the whole time.” Rick smiled and nodded to her. “Take it easy. Take your time.”

Their meal lasted for three hours.

Charlotte didn’t even know that she had so much to say. From the beginning to end, Rick nodded smilingly as he listened to her. He was a perfect listener.

Just when she was about to suggest that they return, her gaze settled in one direction and didn’t move.

Rick followed the direction of her gaze.

Shane and a few friends stood at the door. As usual, Braden didn’t stop talking. He seemed to have told a joke and made everyone laugh out loud. All the men and women around him laughed very hard.

When she saw that they were about to enter, Charlotte shifted to a different position and turned her back to the door.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

But, this way, she was sitting on the same side as Rick.

Rick pulled Charlotte’s hand towards himself. His long finger settled on her wrist. “Don’t worry.”

His temperature and the bracelet he had given her.

Charlotte took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”

The group of people walked in.

“I don’t know that our Shane is getting married so quickly. Hahaha. Anyway, you’re invited to look at the wedding decorations and such things.” Braden’s voice came from afar.

“Mr. Fuller, you’re about to get married, but we haven’t met your fiancee yet,” one of them said.

“Don’t you read the news?”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Braden laughed out loud. “See? I told you that you would never know what he’s going to do.”

Upon hearing their voices disappear into the distance, Charlotte felt that her strength seemed to have been taken away by them.

Rick’s heart ached for her. He said in a low voice, “Let’s go home.”

“I used to think that I could still go home.”

“Anne and my home is your home. That won’t change, no matter the time or place.”

“What if I hurt you one day?” She turned around and asked.

“Will you?”

“I don’t know.”

Rick stood up with a smile and put his suit jacket over her shoulders. “Then I’ll take it. You can’t be that ungrateful.”

Charlotte immediately felt much better. She rolled her eyes and said, “See, I’m afraid I’ve scammed.”

“Yes, everyone in the world tries to avoid ungrateful people but I’m different.”

“How are you different?”

“I don’t mind taking ungrateful people home.”

Charlotte was shocked. She even forgot what she was doing.

Both of them stood up, attracting the attention of the people on the opposite side.

After all, they were a beautiful match and looked very good together. The people at another table even picked up their phone to take photos.

“Shane, look over there.” Braden poked the person beside him.

Shane raised his gaze lazily. With a single glance, his concentration was taken up completely. The hand holding the menu froze.

Charlotte leaned against Rick’s shoulder as she laughed her head off. Rick’s gaze was gentle and caused her to hide shyly. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the room.

After he watched them leave, Shane turned back to the menu.

He lowered his eyelashes lazily. “Let’s order.”

It was a fleeting but impressive glimpse. Others only saw a quick glance, but the person who had taken the glimpse was struck dumb.

“Why are you being so cold? That, that’s the person who gave you a… recording!” Braden almost spilled the beans.

Even Braden also knew that the child was his?

That’s right. After all, Anne was the one who had received the report.

Shane replied with a faint “hmm” and corrected him in a calm tone. “The recording.”

“Hahaha, it’s good that you know it.” Braden laughed awkwardly.

Shane was so cold.

Braden smiled and his laughter petered off.
