Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

Peter hugged Zoe tightly. “Really? Are you sure? You said you like me, right?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, I like you,” Zoe affirmed.

“Zoe, you’re my first love. You can’t let me down.” Peter suddenly looked dejected and pouted. It was obvious he was complaining about her indifference.

Zoe could only pat him on the head like a dog, then touched his face.

After agreeing to date him, Zoe decided to break the news to Charlotte.

Charlotte was busy dealing with matters in the office. Just as she was about to take a break, she saw Zoe’s message. The brief words read- “I’m with Peter now.”

Charlotte was stunned for a few seconds, then her fingers flew across the screen as she typed a reply, “Then I’ll ask the workers to stop the renovation of your house.”

“No, I still have to move back. To be honest, he’s too clingy.”

“Ah, I like the clingy ones,” Charlotte typed as she cast a glance to the man beside her.

Shane had set up a desk in her office. Normally, both of them were always together. Most of the time when she was working, he would be at his desk not too far away. However, the two of them didn’t talk at all. Even if they spent an entire day together, they didn’t exchange a word.

If only Shane were a little bit more clingy.

Charlotte couldn’t help but imagine that scene. Her whole body shuddered in response. She couldn’t imagine Shane being clingy at all.

“Although Mr. Fuller is not a clingy person, he treats you well,” Zoe replied.

“Zoe, sometimes I don’t even know the status of our relationship.”

Zoe looked at the message sent by Charlotte and was lost in thought. After a while, she typed, “I only know that you are married to each other.”

“I divorced a long time ago.”

“But your affections for each other still endure.”

The conversation came to an end. Charlotte rested her head on her hand and twirled the phone on her other palm. Her attention drifted and the phone slipped before bouncing off the table twice and landed on the carpet.

She pushed the chair back and ran towards her phone.

Before she could bend down to pick it up, a familiar hand shot out and grabbed the phone. He turned the phone and scanned the screen for cracks.

“What’s going on?”

“Uh, it slipped from my hand,” she explained.

“I meant your text messages with Zoe.” He brought the phone nearer to her face.

The screen was cracked, but the messages were still discernible.

Charlotte lowered her head. “As for that, aren’t we already divorced?”

“The previous text.”

It’s none of his business.

And the text was self-explanatory.

Charlotte didn’t bother explaining. She lowered her head and remained silent. Shane looked deeply at her, trying his best to control his emotions, but his fingers were trembling. He lifted her chin before kissing her.

In her peripheral vision, he bit down on her lips forcefully.

Blood diffused between their lips.

Shane released her and left the office with her cell phone.

Charlotte gasped for air, her eyes reddened slightly from the pain.

…

Shane went straight to Avery to get her phone repaired.

Avery thought Charlotte would look for him personally, he didn’t expect Shane to show up. He teased, “Charlotte needs a demonstration of love from you even when it comes to repairing a phone?”

“Will you shut up?”

Avery noticed something was wrong, so he gave a few reassuring pats on his shoulder. “Looks like it’s a relationship problem. As your friend, I’ll tell you how to cajole a woman in exchange for a free meal.”

“You?” Shane frowned with disgust evident in his eyes.

“Although I have never dated, I still have a couple of tricks up my sleeve when it comes to Irena. You have to cajole her and give her a sense of security. Otherwise, she will lose her temper, cry, and quarrel with you. But pay attention, if she is silent, that’s the real danger.”

“Excuses.” Shane shifted into a comfortable position and his body was subconsciously angled toward Avery.

At this point, he was interested in what Avery had to say, which was his forte.

“If a woman has nothing to say to you, it means she has no expectations of you. If that’s the case, even if you were the king, she would not spare you a glance. She will quietly make up her mind to leave you.”

“Hmm.” Shane pursed his lips. “If she leaves, I’ll tie her up.”

“Or you could pin her on the hood of your car…” Avery trailed off and his eyes flashed.

Shane was stunned by his description. There was no way anyone saw what he did in that remote area. So was Avery talking from first-hand experience?

Avery detached the screen from the phone and sighed. “Then she will be in pain, sad, and even commit herself to another person. As for me, when I saw her lying motionless in a coffin, I became a lunatic.”

“You and Irena?”

“Who else? Oh, I get it. Have you already done these things to Charlotte?” Avery looked up and his eyes were cold, “I advise you to be kind to her.”

“What’s done is done.”

“She will remember it. If someone is in love with her now, she will definitely leave you.”

“She wouldn’t. We have a child together.”

Avery chuckled. “Shane, imagine Charlotte smiling and laughing in another person’s arms, and Charlotte as a shell of a person with you, are you sure you’d be impassive and rational to choose the latter?”

“When you see her in such pain, do you want to hug her and let her go, or do you want to possess her at all cost?”

Shane returned to the office with the phone.

When he opened the door, he saw Charlotte listening to the background music from the conference’s livestream. Recently, they had opened a new air route, so they needed to work together with airline companies to acquire aircraft. The expenditure took up a considerable amount of time, and the conference was held for financing purposes.

The melody was a little sad and she got carried away by her emotions. After listening for a long time, she removed her earphones and sighed.

There was a knock on her door.

She raised her head.

A man with a familiar profile leaning against the door frame rapped his knuckle against the glass panel. He was looking at her with unfathomable eyes.

Charlotte took a deep breath and smiled at him, “You’re back.”

Shane walked over and handed the phone to her. “Avery said the inner screen was not cracked, so he just repaired the external screen for you. If you don’t like it, you can change the inner screen.”

“I didn’t know Avery could repair phones.” Charlotte clicked her tongue in wonder while inspecting her phone. “I thought he’s already great, what with his knack for repairing computers.”

In Charlotte’s opinion, every data analyst should know how to repair computers. However, phones were in a different ballpark. This was what most girls who were uninformed about computers thought.

Shane sat down on her desk beside her and curled his fingers under her chin.

Charlotte looked up at him. “What’s wrong?”

His fingers slowly moved to her lips. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, he couldn’t express his thoughts.

“It doesn’t hurt,” she said with a smile.

He still could not bring himself to utter those three words.

Charlotte wanted to lower her head but he resisted and lifted her chin towards him.

Suddenly she felt nervous and lowered her gaze. Her body could not help but tremble slightly.

“Who are you to me?”

His clear voice questioned.

Charlotte was stunned.

She should be asking him this question.

Who was I to you?
