Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“Shane…” Charlotte was dumbfounded.

“Come and pick us up.” Shane could guess her expression by just hearing her voice. His lips couldn’t help but curl up. There was even a hint of gentleness behind his cold eyes.

Peter picked up the teacup and took a sip. He glanced at Shane from the corner of his eyes. It was obvious Mr. Fuller was deeply in love. He had been with Mr. Fuller for quite some time, it was his first time seeing him like this.

He had been used to his cold demeanour. He was really curious to see this side of him.

He wondered if Mr. Fuller would act so lovey-dovey every day if he really dated Ms. Emerson. It would be a real shocking sight.

Peter couldn’t help but gossip.

“Oh, alright. I’ll send someone over right now.” Charlotte immediately answered. “But the road here is very steep. Are you sure you want to come? Or we can meet at the city later since I’ll be staying for a few more days.”

“You don’t want to see me now?” Shane asked.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“I…” Charlotte suddenly choked on her words.

She wanted to see him, she even dreamed of him.

She was far away from home and it was the first time she had to transport such large cargo. Although she looked calm on the surface, she actually felt very nervous. What if an accident happened? What if one of the workers were injured?

Although these problems didn’t occur, they kept haunting her mind.

She would feel much better if Shane was by her side. At least she wouldn’t need to worry about all these ‘what if’s. She knows nothing could compare to having Shane by her side.

“It seems that you didn’t miss home at all.”

“Not at all. Aren’t I home now?” Charlotte smiled ruefully. “I’ll go pick you up right now.”

“There’s no need.”

Doot, doot, doot-

Charlotte stared at the blank speechlessly. Shane’s last words were so short and cold with a slight arrogance in his tone.

She always had a hard time facing Shane. It was even worse now that he was so full of himself…

Charlotte thought for a while. Finally, she got up and walked towards Zoe. “Zoe.”

“Hmm?” Zoe, who was petting a panda, turned around. “Do you want to pet it?”

“No, I wanted to ask if it was okay for you to follow up here alone?”

“I’m fine with it. What’s the matter?”

“Peter Brown is coming.”

Zoe remained calm on the surface but she felt butterflies in her stomach.

She promised to follow Charlotte because she wanted to avoid Peter. Now, it feels like she just can’t escape from him.

“Really?” She lowered her head.

“Shane is here.” Charlotte sighed.

Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. It’s better that Mr. Fuller came. At least this meant Peter wasn’t coming for her. The situation would be less awkward between them.

Zoe came back to her senses and turned around to face Charlotte. “So you want to leave everything to me and go pick them up?”

“I’m bringing them to the city so I won’t come over anymore. But if you need me here, I will…”

“They are all experienced workers. They’ll do fine without us. Have a good rest when you reach the city. Take a nap.”

“I’ll leave it to you.”

“I’ll be sure to finish the job you entrusted me to.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

…

Charlotte rented a car and hurried towards the city centre.

The whole journey was a rush. She was able to rent a car with GPS but she didn’t know where Peter and Shane were staying. She asked some people at the company but no one knew either. As Charlotte was at a loss, Peter secretly texted her a message.

“Ms. Emerson, we’re at the Crescent Hotel. Mr. Fuller went to the gym on the top floor. You have to hurry if you want to see him.”

What a coincidence.

Charlotte was not far away from the Crescent Hotel. She immediately turned around and headed back.

Thanks to the city planner, the road here was much smoother than in River City.

Charlotte quickly arrived at the Crescent Hotel. She hurried up to the gym after booking a room.

There were many exercising equipment, barbells and treadmills here. The environment was also quite green, there was a man-made stream in a distance. Beside the stream were some umbrellas and lounge chairs. It seemed they were trying to create a tropical environment.

After Charlotte looked around, she finally found Shane in the rest area.

He was wearing a black T-shirt that revealed his muscular arms and black workout shorts. He also wore his favourite AJ sneakers.

Shane was one of the few people who would prepare three pairs of shoes for a trip.

That includes a pair of leather shoes, a pair of sneakers and a pair of sandals.

One could see Shane still lives an enjoyable life even though he’s usually busy.

However …

Currently, there was a woman standing before him.

The woman looked petite but she had a good figure. Her cheeks were red as she spoke to Shane. It seemed they were flirting.

A surge of emotions welled up in Charlotte’s heart. She picked up her phone and dialed Shane’s number.

“Hmm?” He answered the phone.

“Are you having a good time with that woman?” Charlotte asked impulsively.

“You sound sour. Are you jealous?”

Shane leaned over and looked around. Finally, he found her. She looked very beautiful and dazzling but her face was filled with weariness.

His eyes darkened and he furrowed his eyebrows. He took off his earphones as he strode towards Charlotte, ignoring the woman in front of him.

He reached out to pull her into a hug, then he wrapped his fingers around her neck.

“Your heart is beating so fast? Did you sleep at all last night?”

“No.” She struggled.

Shane hugged her tightly and propped her up into his arms. “Go to sleep.”

She stopped struggling, but her tone was still sour. “You still haven’t answered me. Did you have a good time chatting with that pretty girl?”

“I don’t know.”

“… ”

What kind of an answer was that!

Shane raised his eyebrows with his lips curled. He motioned for her to look at what was around his neck. It was a Bluetooth headset. Only then did she remember, he looked like he was talking to that woman just now but he didn’t speak.

So, it seemed that he was chatting with a beautiful woman but instead he was just listening to music?

For some reason, Charlotte regained her good mood. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against his chest.

Shane looked at her helplessly and asked, “What’s your room number.”

“Huh? Didn’t you book a room?”

“It’s for Peter.”

“I’m at Room 8012.”

Shane nodded. “I’ll take you there.”

“What about you?”

Charlotte felt something was wrong after she asked the question.

For the past two days, it felt as if both her mind and tongue were out of place. What she said made no sense.

“I have some official business.”

“I brought my computer. You could use mine.”

Shane laughed when he heard that. “You mean, you want me to stay in your room?”

Charlotte was slightly confused by his response.  She asked tentatively, “Can’t you?”

This question seemed pointless.

Shane didn’t answer and Charlotte didn’t say anything else.

It was a short trip from the gym to her room. Charlotte actually fell asleep in Shane’s arms. She leaned against his shoulders quietly. She looked so sweet and gentle.

Shane tried his best not to touch her but it was difficult for him to pull out the key card from her pocket. It took a long time before he could open the door.

After placing Charlotte on the bed, Shane’s gaze landed on her exposed ankle.

His eyes darkened. He walked over and removed her shoes. Then, he covered her with the blanket.

She seemed to have felt it and she even kicked and scratched her leg.

Silly.

Shane had only one word to describe her.
