Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“How is she?” Rick poured coffee and milk into a cup. “Do you want any sugar?”

“She’s fine, and no sugar.” Shane sat beside Avery and accepted the cup of coffee from Rick. He took a sip and closed his eyes. He looked very tired.

Avery handed him an untouched sandwich and said, “You must be tired today. Rest early tonight. Rick and I will leave after a while.”

Shane opened his eyes and nodded. “Sorry to trouble you today.”

“We are brothers, there’s no need to be ceremonious. As for you, talk to Charlotte after she wakes up. The lines between self-interest and feelings are blurred for both of you. If something really happens, the procedures will be too troublesome.”

“Yes.” He nodded.

Rick prepared two more sandwiches and passed them to Avery and Shane. He washed his hands, rolled down his sleeves, and placed his hands on the table. “You’re not going to tell us why Charlotte ran away from you?”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Heidi.”

“She is still lingering between both of you.” Avery frowned.

Shane looked at him coldly, but Avery was unfazed. “What’s the point of glaring at me? Mr. Fuller, I respect you, but in this matter, we have different opinions on how to proceed. I could either stay faithful to Irena until I die, or fall in love with someone I met. But it’s unfair to let the past affect your future.”

Rick nodded in agreement. He thought so, too.

“It’s different.”

“How is it different?”

“I don’t love Heidi.”

Avery found it even more hilarious. “So love Charlotte, then. Why are you doing this for someone you don’t even love? Oh, I got it.”

Avery just realized what the issue was. Shane didn’t love Heidi at all, and because of that, his guilt compounded.

She died because of him. Not only did he not have feelings for her, but he could not even make amends to her. Not to mention that Heidi’s only sister went mad because of Shane.

In any case, Shane couldn’t get over Heidi.

“What should we do?” Avery felt powerless. He thought this matter could be resolved by explaining his side. However, he wasn’t aware that Shane did not like Heidi.

“I always thought only a meticulous person like me would care about these details,” Rick said with a smile.

Shane remained silent.

He wasn’t a meticulous person, but he was too perceptive.

He assumed he would spend his entire life with Charlotte and took the time he had for granted. He felt it was alright to mistreat her. He did not realize he took it too far.

Shane picked up his coffee and took another sip.

“How… how did I get home?”

Three of them immediately looked to the bedroom door.

Shane and Avery rushed to Charlotte’s side to help her. Rick was the furthest, so he remained at the bar and looked at her.

“You do know that this is still your home?” Shane grabbed her arm and his lips thinned.

Charlotte lowered her head and didn’t offer an answer.

Avery immediately pushed Shane away and put his arm around Charlotte’s shoulder. “Ignore him. No matter what, your brothers Rick and I will stand by you.”

Brother?

Shane was disgusted by his demeanor.

Unfortunately, in an addled state, Charlotte was drawn in by Avery’s comforting manner and her tears started flowing.

As Charlotte sobbed and recounted her story, Avery and Rick finally understood the situation.

To put it simply.

Charlotte presumed Shane cared about Heidi, and that she could never replace Heidi. Consequently, she was broken-hearted. If she could sacrifice herself for Heidi to come back, she would do it. No one cared about her, anyway.

However, Shane’s logic was even simpler. Heidi could not compare with Charlotte at all.

“Heidi is like a sister to Shane, the way you are to me. You, to Shane, are like who Irena is to me,” Avery explained.

“That’s true. I wouldn’t put Anne and Charlotte together and compare who’s more important because they meant different things to me. But Charlotte doesn’t think so.” Rick looked at the person who fell asleep in Shane’s arms again and sighed.

After all, Heidi and Shane weren’t related by blood. Furthermore, when the two of them knew each other, Charlotte hadn’t met Shane yet.

“This is why I never wanted to date anyone. In fact, I’ve already let it go, sometimes I’m just obsessed with it,” Avery said as he stood up. “I’ll get you a cup of coffee.”

Who wasn’t?

Rick looked at Charlotte’s face with a gentle gaze.

Perhaps, he was the only one who would let go of the obsession and bear the pain and criticism, just for her to be safer and happier.

He was not obsessed, he was in love.

So it was even more difficult to understand the love and hate between her and Shane. Love should be love, shouldn’t it?

“Tomorrow, you’ll pick Anne up.” Shane looked at Rick.

“Is she back?”

“You’re her brother, how do you not know? The wedding is on the 27th.”

Rick shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Everything was arranged properly that even I have no idea what’s happening. Are you breaking up with me at my sister’s wedding?”

“Not with you, but with Christopher.” Avery returned to the sofa and nestled comfortably on it.

“At my sister’s wedding?” Rick frowned. This matter was too strange.

Avery snapped his fingers and said, “Don’t forget that from your point of view, it’s your sister’s wedding. But from Braden’s perspective, this is his wedding, and Christopher is his brother.”

“I see.” Rick nodded.

He had almost forgotten Braden.

“What’s more, our plan is for you to break up with me, then wait for Mr. Fuller to finish up with Christopher and get married. It has nothing to do with the wedding plan.”

To marry Avery.

For the first time, Rick actually gave it a serious thought, he felt that it was quite feasible.

In the eyes of the law, marriage was a legal union between two people who would spend the rest of their life together. If lovers could get married, why couldn’t two brothers do it, too?

“Are you really going to do it?” Shane still couldn’t accept it.

It was not about s*x.

Both of them were heterosexuals.

“I don’t have any thoughts.” Avery snorted and said, “It’s just to baffle our family members. Besides, marriage doesn’t have to lead to that.”

“Love after marriage.”

Avery choked on the coffee he was drinking and spattered it all over Rick’s face.

Rick sighed and wiped his face clean with a tissue. “Avery, I can deal with my face. But please clean my clothes and send them to my assistant.”

Avery coughed in embarrassment.

He didn’t expect his mouth to spray a stream of coffee.

No, he did not expect Shane to make a tasteless joke.

It was time for Avery and Rick to go home. Before leaving, Avery swiped an expensive bottle of red wine that Shane treasured and hauled Rick home for a nightcap.

The living room was lively a minute ago, now only the steady breathing of Charlotte in his arms could be heard.

Shane picked her up and walked to her bedroom.

She was lying quietly and peacefully on the bed, like an angel.

He stroked her brow. “Everyone has their own destiny. You’re enough for me.”

Charlotte was still deep asleep and didn’t hear what he said. Shane pulled back the blanket and lay down beside her.

He only hoped that her mood would improve after waking up tomorrow.

She was still angry.

He really didn’t know what to do.

He could solve any problems in the office, but not when it came to her.

Perhaps, he still had a lot to learn in life.
