Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

Anne raised her eyebrows and said, “It’s good for you to think that way. Let’s have fun together and stop worrying about those things that Shane has to worry about. That’s what life is about. I’ve always thought that you don’t really like the atmosphere in the office. People who like to be free will only become more uncomfortable if they shut themself inside of a box.”

“What about you? If I could let go of everything, would you think that I’m just a useless piece of garbage who’s only waiting to eat and die?”

“Isn’t it good to be a piece of garbage? Why does everyone think it’s not good to be a piece of garbage? Well, I am a real piece of garbage who’s willing to be a piece of garbage. I have someone to support me, to teach me how to manage my money. I have thousands of dollars of income every day when I wake up. Isn’t that nice? Why do I have to work hard?” Anne asked.

Braden could not utter an answer, or in other words, he felt the same as Anne did. “I don’t know, Anne. I only know that if you don’t see me as a piece of garbage, I would like you to support me.”

“Deal.”

Braden suddenly felt relieved. After they finished handing over their work to somebody else, Braden helped Anne carry her bag and took her to their car. “Let’s go have dinner!”

“Why are you suddenly acting so servile…” Anne smirked and grabbed her bag.

“I hope that this rich woman can love me forever. So, I have to please her more often.”

Anne thought that it was hilarious, but at the same time, she liked the way it was.

To have Braden accompany her forever was better than him going out to work every day and making her unable to go out and have fun on her own. When he was not around, she didn’t even dare to go to the bar alone, fearing that he might think that she went to find a handsome guy to cheat on.

…

When Charlotte and Shane arrived at the place, Peter and Zoe were already waiting for them. A moment later, Rick and Kendall also arrived. Braden was a little slow, so everyone went straight in without waiting for them.

Caleb had already ordered a table of cold dishes. When he saw them coming, he immediately got up and greeted them. At the same time, he instructed the men beside him to hand out gifts to Peter and Zoe. “I’m so sorry. As my token of apology, I prepared these gifts for you two. I really didn’t mean to frighten the both of you.”

“What’s going on…” Peter was completely baffled.

“It’s nothing. Just come over and have dinner. Oh, wait, someone is still not here yet. It’s okay. We’ll order more later.” Caleb grinned and snapped his fingers. “Well, get ready to serve the dishes.”

Peter and Zoe took their seats in confusion. Charlotte leaned closer to Shane and said, “Has Caleb believed the fact that Zoe is not Irena?”

“Yea. Avery had done a paternity test, proving that Zoe completely has nothing to do with Irena’s parents. Caleb attacked them multiple times just because he didn’t believe it.”

“I understand what you mean now. Caleb thinks that if Zoe is Irena, she should be furious with him now and have a falling out with him. She shouldn’t be afraid of him. This meal seems to be the final test.”

“That’s right.”

If that was the case.

It would be quite a headache. There wasn’t anything wrong with that, but if Zoe couldn’t get rid of Caleb’s doubts, then unless Avery and Shane really destroyed the Stevens Family, or else…

“Zoe, Peter, please don’t take it personally. I have mistaken her as someone else,” Caleb said as he picked up a glass of wine. “Come, I’ll toast to you two.”

Peter believed Shane, so he picked up his glass. When Zoe saw that, she stopped doubting and picked up her glass to clink glasses with Caleb. After the three of them drank the wine, Caleb sat down with a smile. Peter and Zoe knew very well that it was only a fake smile.

He looked disgusting when he smiled but dangerous when he didn’t.

“I heard that you two are married?” Caleb asked.

“Yes,” Peter answered. “According to the law, we are already married.”

Zoe was confused. She didn’t marry Peter. Why did Peter say that they were married? But she knew that Peter, Shane, and Charlotte were people who would never hurt her. So even if she didn’t understand, she didn’t say anything and just sat there silently like a statue.

It suddenly dawned on Caleb. “Well, that’s pretty good. How did you guys know each other?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Peter told Caleb everything about their encounter, and Zoe would occasionally add a few words. The two of them indeed looked very affectionate. More importantly, Zoe seemed to rely on Caleb with all her heart.

“I used to like a girl, she…” Caleb took the opportunity to tell them about his relationship with Irena.

Their relationship was actually not that complicated. To say that there was a lot of love, hate, and sorrow was an overstatement. It was only a simple story.

There was actually no need to say that out loud. But because Irena started dating Avery and died afterward, this story sounded extremely sad and bleak.

“Honestly, you guys make a pretty good couple. Why did she want to date Avery instead?” Zoe couldn’t quite understand. “Didn’t she love you very much?”

“Perhaps she thought that Avery was more suitable for her,” Caleb said with a smile.

“I’ve seen Avery a few times. He’s not bad but unreliable. If you compare yourself with Avery, I actually don’t think you will lose. But if you compared yourself with Mr. Fuller, I definitely think that Mr. Fuller is better,” Zoe paused and said, “Sorry, I’m a straightforward person. If you’re not happy about that, I can apologize to you.”

Instead, Caleb burst into laughter. “No need, no need. I’m indeed much more confident if I have to be compared with Avery. After all, even though I’m a very sinister and cunning person, I won’t put on an act like he does. However, compared to Mr. Fuller, I’m indeed far too inferior. Mr. Fuller has always been a true gentleman ever since he was young. All my life, I have always wanted to be friends with him.”

Zoe remained silent and suspicious toward him.

Peter continued, “I won’t say anything about Avery’s personality. But Mr. Stevens, I’ve heard a lot about your personality. I have something that I don’t quite understand, and I hope you can answer them.”

At that moment, Kendall, who had been gaming all along, perked up her ears. She was quite concerned about what other people thought of her brother.

“Ask away.”

“Rumour says that you love women and have even stolen women from your father. Is that true or false?”

In a split second.

Caleb’s smile disappeared.

Zoe tugged the corner of her lips and said, “What kind of question are you even asking, Peter? Are you crazy?”

Instead, Peter frankly responded, “I accept Mr. Stevens’s apology, and I also understand that Mr. Stevens has condescended to come and talk to us commoners. That’s also exactly why I dare to ask this question. I want to know, Mr. Stevens, what exactly do you think women are in your eyes?”

“You’re right. I’ve indeed stolen my dad’s women.” Caleb laughed again and continued, “I personally admire you a lot for taking advantage of Shane’s presence to disrespect me. However, since I’m apologizing to you, and you’re also asking things that are related to women, I will answer you. Because if I get angry, it’ll make me seem too petty. So, I can say, yes, I love to steal women.”

Kendall blinked her eyes in shock.

“Excuse me,” Rick suddenly said, “I’ll take Kendall out for a while.”

“No, I want to listen.” Kendall didn’t want to leave.

“Don’t worry, Rick. It’s not something unsuitable for children to hear. On the contrary, you guys will get to know me better if you listen.” Caleb’s expression turned serious. “When I was very young, my father already had other women by his side. Everyone, if it was you, would you snatch his woman to seek justice for your mother, would you develop a relationship with those women in front of him to let him know that his son is not to be trifled with, or would you just treat him as a beast and ignore him?”

That was a good problem.

“To deal with wicked people, I decided to become a wicked person myself,” Caleb said with extreme confidence.
