Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

At the Fullers’ Residence.

Ophelia led Charlotte to the living room, where Raina had been waiting for them for quite a while.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Raina directed her gaze upward to look at them.

“Madam, she has arrived,” announced the butler. With a bow, he left.

“So, you must be Charlotte Emerson,” said Raina nonchalantly as she looked her up and down, sizing her up with eagle eyes.

Charlotte did not flinch. Maintaining eye contact with Raina, she calmly and courteously replied, “Yes, Auntie.”

Half an hour earlier, Charlotte had bid Shane goodbye. Right as she was about to head home, an army of men in black appeared in front of her, stalling her.

“The madam wishes to see you. No need to ask any questions, it will all be clear later,” informed the men.

Only then did she find out that the lady they were talking about was Shane’s mother.

In fact, she was rather surprised that Shane’s mother looked so youthful. If the two of them went out together, they could have passed off as sisters.

Perhaps she had invested a lot into a self-care routine. It was clear that she had upheld her elegance from her younger days. Her eyebrows were beautifully shaped like willow leaves, her mouth was petite and cherry-like – all the features of a typical River City woman.

As time went on, she certainly matured into a more graceful look.

No wonder Shane was so attractive. There was no doubt that he had inherited his mother’s genes.

However, Raina felt rather insulted upon being addressed as auntie.

She glared at Charlotte with eyes of daggers. “Don’t you ever think that the Fuller family will accept you as one of us. Not even if you and Shane have your marriage certificate. The wise thing to do is get yourself and your daughter out and far away from River City!” warned Raina.

Charlotte was caught off guard by Raina’s words. She was not expecting to hear this from her at all. Indeed, one should not judge a book by its cover.

“Auntie…”

“Who are you calling Auntie?” interrupted Raina without hesitation.

Before Charlotte could open her mouth, she pressed on, “Five years ago, you conceived a child out of wedlock and were driven out of the house by the Emerson family. What were you thinking? You shouldn’t have come back to River City. And you should never have gotten the Fuller family tangled into your mess!”

Finally, Charlotte understood why Raina had asked her to come over. She wanted to humiliate her and tear down her self-esteem.

Although Charlotte was keeping her cool, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile.

“Madam Fuller, how can you be so sure that it wasn’t Shane who initiated it?”

“How dare you!” sputtered Raina. She was left speechless.

It seemed that what Cole told her was true – it was her son that wanted to sign a marriage certificate with this woman!Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

After a brief moment of silence, a mocking, disdainful expression appeared on Raina’s face. “Hmph, I’ve seen plenty of tricks from foxy women like you trying to elicit unsuspecting men. At the end of the day, you’re all hungry for money. Just name me your price.”

Charlotte was rather taken aback. Apparently, the Fuller family dealt with their problems the same way as all affluent folks did – with money.

Still, the truth was that her marriage with Shane was all for show. Once the contract expired, she would disappear from the picture, without needing to worry about it.

She just was not allowed to let Raina know about this.

After all, she had signed a non-disclosure clause in the contract.

In that instant, her memories rewound to the incident that went viral on the internet.

She frowned at Raina and looked at her with the beady eyes of a lost puppy. “Madam Fuller, I don’t want any money from you. I truly love him from the bottom of my heart.”

Just as she had expected, Raina’s face contorted in anger, changing expressions as though she could not decide how best to express her fury. Finally, she blew her top and smashed her cup of tea to the ground.

Ophelia was startled by the sudden commotion. However, Charlotte remained rooted to the spot, not even batting an eye.

Raina narrowed her eyes slightly, observing Charlotte’s demeanour. As much as she did not want to admit it, she was slightly impressed by her capabilities.

It seemed that money would not be enough to get rid of her.

“Well, if it is indeed true love, I suppose you can stay here for now,” said Raina, revealing a hint of a cold smile.
