Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

‘Lottie, is Shane Fuller the owner of NC Corp?’ Anne’s message read.

Once she hit send, Charlotte’s phone beeped.

She clicked open the notification and read the message. Subconsciously, she looked up at Anne, only to catch her squinting uncannily at her.

Charlotte’s gaze returned to her phone and she typed a reply. ‘Yes, he is. What’s up?’

‘Oh my God! I hope he didn’t make things difficult for you. He… He was the one you fell on when you drank too much at the bar the other night.’

Charlotte’s mind went blank as she read the message. Her eyes widened in shock as her memories came rushing back.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Before she was back in the right mind, she raised her head unknowingly and looked at Shane, who was sitting directly opposite her.

‘No way!’ she exclaimed in her heart.

It was her first time getting drunk, and on that first time, she had forced herself onto Shane.

At that same moment, Shane looked up and his eyes met Charlotte’s.

Charlotte immediately felt guilt wash over her and she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid further eye contact.

She appeared somewhat adorable in this state of loss.

Lunch finally ended with awkwardness suspended in the tense air.

After walking out of the restaurant, Charlotte cleared her throat, about to ask Anne to bring Sheryl home.

Before she could speak, Sheryl came scurrying over. She cradled Charlotte’s hand in hers and started swinging her arm gently, complaining in a cheeky tone, “Mommy, I don’t want to go home. I want to be with you.”

“Sheryl, be a good girl, please. I still have work to complete, you…”

“Employees from our company do not need to work overtime to get things done. If you need to work overtime to complete your tasks, I’m afraid you’re not suitable to be a part of our company.” interrupted Shane abruptly, standing at one side.

Charlotte was rendered speechless as she stared at Shane in disbelief.

To think there existed an employer who would frown upon the idea of employees working overtime!

“Yay! Great! Mommy doesn’t need to work anymore. You can play with me now!” Sheryl cheered happily beside her.

“Sheryl, where do you want to go? I’ll bring you wherever,” Shane suggested with a friendly smile and dearness in his eyes.

Braden and Anne were both left stunned by the abnormal man in front of them.

Their perception of Shane was renewed once more.

The frigid workaholic was actually offering to bring a child out to have fun.

Braden’s eyes darted between Shane and Sheryl. A few seconds of silence later, he slapped his forehead aggressively and pointed at Sheryl. “Shane, she can’t be your daughter, can she?”

The two did look awfully alike. Topped with Shane’s unprecedented patience and kindness, Braden simply couldn’t quash the possibility.

However, as soon as this was brought up, all eyes were on Shane.

Shane’s signature cold glare promptly resurfaced.

Realizing that the mood had changed, Braden chuckled in an attempt to dissipate the tension. “I’m just joking. Just joking.”

With that, Braden took off at warp speed, hoping to avoid contact with Shane.

“Well, I’ll be taking my leave too.” Being a sensible person herself, Anne turned a blind eye to Charlotte’s pleading face. In a flash, she climbed into her car and fled the scene.

“Mommy, can we please go to the amusement park?” Sheryl turned to Charlotte eagerly and blinked her adorable puppy-dog eyes.

Faced with her daughter’s large, glimmering eyes, Charlotte couldn’t bear to turn her down. Pursing her lips, she persevered and shook her head.

However, before she could turn Sheryl down, Shane picked the little girl up and sat her on his broad shoulder. Disregarding Charlotte, he said to Sheryl, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the amusement park.” Without waiting for Charlotte to react, he started walking toward the parking lot.

Watching Shane’s broad shoulders and how stalwart he stood, Charlotte felt a sense of security in her heart for no reason.

Next, her eyes traveled to the wide grin stretched across her daughter’s guileless face.

Regardless of how heartless she could get, she could never bring herself to give the red light.

Thus, Charlotte took a deep breath and stepped forward to catch up with the two.
