Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

On the way, Rick purposely had Charlotte come with him and Kendall to hand Sheryl over to Shane.

This naturally made Shane feel displeased. Rick leaned over and said in a rushed voice, “Shane, think about it, Sheryl must have said something to Charlotte, otherwise her attitude wouldn’t have changed. So don’t worry about it now. You must first find out what changed. What did Sheryl say to her?”

“You are indeed a strategist.” Shane stretched out his hand and patted Rick on the shoulder. “Thanks, my friend.”

“It’s not easy for you to call someone your friend,” Rick said with a smile as he shook his head.

When Rick saw Shane take Sheryl to the car, Rick went to Charlotte’s side again. “What did Sheryl say to you just now?”

Charlotte was silent.

“Look, if you don’t tell me and Sheryl tells Shane later, I won’t be able to help you.”

“Did you do it on purpose?”

“I don’t think you can say that. Since you already have a child together, why not use her to make you show your hand?”

Kendall had heard what Rick said to Shane. Of course, she also heard Rick talking to Charlotte, so she was a little lost. She didn’t understand who Rick was helping. However, she thought that Rick would definitely help Charlotte. In terms of personal interests, it was better to help Charlotte.

Therefore, he must have helped Charlotte. But why did it sound like he was helping Shane?

Oh, my God. Her mind was in a mess. She didn’t want to think about it anymore.

On the other end.

Shane got in the car with Sheryl.

“Daddy, do you and Uncle Rick want to know what I said to Mommy?” Sheryl held out her hand greedily. “Give me money and I’ll tell you.”

“Who did you learn that from?” Shane frowned.

He did not think that it was bad to see his daughter asking him for money. He could even buy anything she wanted for her. Even if she wanted a plane or a cannon, as long as it wasn’t illegal, he would buy it for her as a toy. However, he did not like her hiding her intentions and even using money as a bargaining chip.

Money could indeed solve most problems. Sometimes it was everything, but he didn’t want Sheryl to think so.

“I just wanted to see Olive and Uncle Avery,” she said in a low voice. “But you don’t care about me. Why don’t you let me go and play with them?”

“You can ask us directly. Who told you to ask me for money, Avery or Olive?”

“It was Uncle Avery,” Sheryl said obediently. “He even said that if you ask this question, I have to tell you. You’re so scheming. No wonder Charlotte didn’t want you and ran away.”

Shane was speechless.

He stretched out his hand and poked at the space between Sheryl’s eyebrows. “That’s your mother, how can you call her Charlotte?”

“Hehe.” Sheryl gave a silly smile. “Then, Daddy, do you want to know what I said to Mommy?”

“Tell me.”

“I told Mommy that a child raised by a single mother is very sad and may suffer depression. I told her that I felt my heartbeat going very fast these days and I feel like jumping off a building. Mommy was scared, so she agreed to stay with me for the time being. She said that she would not let me get hurt. If I don’t want to, she won’t force me to go with her, so she hopes that I won’t force her…”

Shane pursed his lips.

Sheryl grabbed up a bottle of water and took a sip. She proudly looked up and said, “Then something amazing happened. I said that Mommy should go and I will tell Daddy where to buy a cemetery plot. Mommy got scared again. She said that I can’t do this to myself.”

“I thought that I should play it up since I already started. So I told Mommy that since she can’t understand me, then I shouldn’t try to understand her either. It’s a two-way street. It’s the same with her and Daddy.”

Shane frowned.

“Mommy told me that her relationship with Daddy isn’t that simple. It isn’t like what I think. So I said that it’s just about Great-grandma dying.”

“Who told you about that?”

“Someone sent me a message on my phone. I saw that it was some other country’s language, so I searched about it online. I guessed that it happened too, so I cried for a few days…” Sheryl said, “Great-grandma loves me the most. Even more than Mommy.”

Shane felt a buzz in his head.

He opened the window a little.

He didn’t feel better until the cold wind blew into his face.

Coincidentally, they had stopped at a red light. He looked at Sheryl beside him with a hint of self-mockery in his expression.

What on earth was he doing all this for

Sheryl, who shouldn’t have known the truth, had already found out.

Charlotte, who he wanted to keep the truth from the most, had already found out.

They had found out so easily, while Shane had spent so much effort to hide it. Was there no such thing as a secret in the world?

“Then Mommy asked me how I knew about this and what I thought about Daddy. I said that I love you, so what you did must be right. Even if you’re wrong, you’re still right, because you’re my Daddy.” Sheryl raised her face and looked at Shane expectantly. “Will I get a reward?”

“I’ll allow you to visit Avery for two months during the summer.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I love Daddy so much!”

As they chatted, they arrived at their destination.

Rick waved to them. “Mr. Fuller, I’ll bring Sheryl into the restaurant to order first. Lottie said there was no drink here that she wants. Would you like to go buy some with her?”

“Okay.” Shane walked to Charlotte’s side.

The three of them walked into the restaurant.

Shane reached out and grabbed Charlotte’s hand. “Let’s go.”

“Wait a minute.”

He stopped in his tracks, looking at her in confusion.

“Shane, let’s date,” she said all of a sudden.

“Date?”

Shane was very… unfamiliar with this concept.

He was extremely unfamiliar with it.

He had never dated before, not even once. If Charlotte counted, then he had. However, dating was too narrow to define the relationship between the two of them. What he had with her was more than that.

“Right, I have thought about it. Things have come to this point because I don’t love you enough. And the reason for that is because we are too used to each other, but we have never truly loved each other.”

“Do you mean that I don’t love you?” Shane felt like he was being pranked. “Charlotte, if I don’t love you, who else does?”

“Rick talked to me about it. He said that we think we love each other a lot. My love for you is like giving you an apple a day not knowing that you might want a watermelon instead. I thought about it and he’s right. We love each other enough, but the way we express our love is wrong.”

Rick had always made his points clear.

As long as he analyzed human nature using psychological methods, he would be right. However, it was unknown whether it was because Rick was lazy or he disdained to use this method. A lot of the time, he did not rely on psychology and human nature to analyze things.

Shane still trusted Rick, so he nodded. “I can accept this theory.”

“So, let’s date and try to get to know each other better. If it doesn’t work, I’ll still go. Whether I take Sheryl with me or not, I won’t say another word. At least, let our acquaintance have an ending.”

The wind blew past them.

It was a little cold, and after Charlotte finished speaking, she shivered.

Shane took off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders. “Let’s buy some drinks first?”

“Alright.”

She nodded.
