Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“You don’t have to advise me. I know what I am doing. I did not come this far to end up at the guillotine. We have to choose between what we want to do and what we should do. Poppy, you just have to believe in me and keep my house in order,” Cassius finished and collected the rest of the plates.

Poppy sighed. “We’re here, but you still choose to do it yourself. Young Master, you’re really different.”

Different?

In reality, there wasn’t much difference. He chose to escape from the fog, while others chose to be enveloped and used.

No one was nobler than the other, and no one was better than the other. It was just a personal choice.

“Poppy, I’m done for the night. Please make breakfast tomorrow. They may get up early.” Cassius yawned. “But just prepare and wash the ingredients. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

After returning to his room, Cassius turned on his computer and found information about what Charlotte had told him at dinner. He intended to read up on them.

He went down the rabbit hole for several hours. He yawned, set the alarm clock on his phone, and tossed it on the bedside.

He had learned a lot tonight and needed more time to digest, so he was pacing himself accordingly.

The next day.

Charlotte got up and saw Cassius cooking up a storm in the kitchen. He yawned and had dark circles under his eyes. She walked over and said, “Are you all right? You look very tired.”

“I’m fine. I was up late reading about the thing you told me yesterday. I found it quite interesting. I made breakfast. You and Mr. Play should have something to eat before leaving.”

“Thank you.”

“You said that we are friends. Well, this is what friends would do for each other. Anyway, I can still sleep in the afternoon.”

Charlotte looked at the porridge he served her. It looked and smelled great. Even the bowl looked cute. She couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect you to enjoy life so much. Perhaps I’m biased, but I feel like you guys in the entertainment industry work harder than us, but you can still whip up delicious meals.”

“I don’t know about others, but I do enjoy life to the fullest.” Initially, Cassius wanted to refute, but he thought about it and changed his mind.

He did like to cook and watch classic films.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“This is good. Instead of loving some random things, it’s better to love everything around you.”

“Yeah, do you still want more?”

“I’m good. This is enough for me.” Charlotte took her bowl and left.

Cassius looked at her back and shook his head with a smile.

She ate so little.

Soon, Cole came downstairs and was a little surprised to see that breakfast was ready and was prepared by Cassius. “Up so early?”

“I can still sleep in the afternoon.” Cassius handed Cole his portion and asked, “Mr. Play, when are you leaving?”

“Initially I planned to leave now and then have breakfast, but since you have made breakfast, we must finish it first.” Cole accepted the bowl and took a seat.

Cassius ladled a bowl of porridge for himself and sat down with both of them.

“I will be busy with two meetings this afternoon, so I might not be able to cope with your situation for the time being. Will you be able to handle them yourself?” Charlotte asked Cassius.

“I’ve always been alone. I’ve checked the contract, and there are about two days left. I can go for the shoot once I’m ready. Although I’d prefer to have you around with me, it’s fine either way. I can take Westin with me.”

Speaking of Westin, Charlotte was a little sad. “He is a very outstanding person. As for the plan I told you, if he wants in, I hope you can invite him as well.”

“He will certainly accept my invitation. He owes me one,” Cassius said with a smile.

Charlotte nodded. After all, it was such a big favor to find him a kidney. Westin had no reason not to go along with Cassius.

However…

Cassius meant something that had happened between him and Westin many years ago. However, he was still very young at that time and was at home, so it was a lesser-known event.

Charlotte and Cole left after the meal. Cassius stood at the door and saw them off. When the car was a spot in the distance, he turned around and returned to his room.

He was planning to sleep, but he wasn’t sleepy at all. He took out his phone and started reading again.

He wasn’t usually quick on the uptake. Cassius thought maybe he was influenced by Charlotte, or maybe he had realized that he could no longer continue to live in ignorance. Even if he browsed through some inane materials, he still felt at peace in his heart.

Speaking of which, it was strange.

…

Charlotte headed straight to the conference room. She only came out twice with Peter. The rest of the time, she was rooted to her seat.

After solving the problems in his department, Peter left the conference room and returned to his office. He unscrewed a bottle and gulped a mouthful of water. He leaned back in his chair tiredly with his eyes closed.

“What’s wrong? You look very tired.” Zoe brought a cup of coffee. “Do you need a boost of energy?”

“I’m fine. It’s Ms. Emerson.” Peter opened his eyes and took a sip of coffee. “She’s an animal. I’ve never met someone so driven. Even Mr. Fuller wasn’t like this.”

“We have to get used to it,” Zoe said with a smile. “She used to work just as hard when I was with her. Now all the resources have been amalgamated. Previously she just had to attend one company’s meetings, now she’s in charge of both companies. It’s normal for her to hustle.”

Peter shook his head helplessly and said, “I won’t be able to survive for another two days at this rate.”

“Then I’ll go on your behalf. It’s all the same.”

“No, you will be carried out after an hour. Didn’t we have a deal? I will attend meetings while you handle the business trips. If we can work together, we’ll do it together.”

“It’s because you’re too tired.”

“But I’m more concerned that you’ll feel tired.”

Did this count as sweet nothings?

Zoe was not used to it for a moment. Her ears and face started blushing. She turned her head away and said, “Well, let’s not talk about this. I will finish up my work. You can finish your coffee or rest for a while.”

“Got it, dear wife.” Peter chuckled.

Zoe bolted out of his office.

Peter looked at her back and smiled broadly. That was why he liked Zoe. Although she appeared aloof, she was easily embarrassed after a few teasing words. It was adorable.

Four hours later.

Charlotte finally walked out of the conference room. The first thing she did was to take two Vitamin B pills and guzzle some water to wash them down before returning to the office.

In the blink of an eye, the evening lights were lit.

Cole informed her that he was waiting in the parking lot.

Charlotte went downstairs and got into the car. She sighed. “I can’t believe a day has passed just like that.”

“Miss Charlotte, I’ve seen the schedule for tomorrow. Your workload is not as heavy as today’s, and there is an advertisement shoot for Cassius tomorrow. Do you want to stop by and have a look?”

“Forget about it. I’d rather go home and sleep.” Charlotte dismissed the idea immediately.

Cole released a sigh of relief.

Before Mr. Fuller came back, he had to keep an eye on Miss Charlotte so that no man could take advantage of her.

As Charlotte reached home and sent Cole away, her phone rang.

She looked at the screen and it was Avery.

“Hey. Is there any good news?” Charlotte took off her jacket and flung it on the coat rack.

“Christopher turned himself in.”
