Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

Rick had originally wanted to be a little cruel and not explain himself to her, but he suddenly thought of how Charlotte was today.

She was so confident and so efficient. It was probably because she had Shane by her side. Although he gave her a lot of things, they were pointless. When she was with him, she could become all that she wanted to be.

They were both people, so he couldn’t treat Charlotte and Kendall so differently.

“Kendall, if I don’t like you, there is no need for me to sleep with you. If I like you, then I should sleep with you even less. So the result is already determined. As for whether you think I like you or not, it doesn’t matter to me. You are just adding to your own sadness and sorrow, do you understand?” Rick said to her very seriously with a dark expression.

Kendall lowered her head. Her eyes were red. “I just wanted to hear you clear things up.”

“A murderer won’t tell you that he wants to kill you, and you won’t ask him, either. But why do you keep asking me if I like you?”

“I…” Kendall choked up instantly. There was something wrong with what Rick said, but she couldn’t refute it.

“Let me answer for you.” Rick put his hands on her shoulders. “Because murderers are strangers to us. We always assume that strangers would deceive us, while people we’re familiar with and trust won’t lie to us. But how can you guarantee that I’m not lying if I say that I like you?”

Kendall really didn’t understand any of this.

She just wanted to hear Rick say that he did not dislike her, and that he was actually interested in her.

Kendall had been arrogant with others, but she couldn’t talk logic with Rick. She was afraid that he would think that she was stupid.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“But, I can still tell you the answer.” Rick let go of her and walked to the window with his back facing her. “I won’t like you so quickly, but I don’t hate you either. It’s up to you whether you stay or leave.”

“But Rick, you’ve kissed me,” she said in a low voice.

“If you ask Charlotte, she’ll tell you that even when I was engaged to her, I’ve never even kissed her on the cheek.”

“Why not?”

“It’s because she was unwilling to be with me, while you and I willingly to be intimate with each other.”

He was willing.

Kendall suddenly realized something. She asked, “You mean that you’re still willing to be with me even though you’re not deeply in love with me, right? So you do have feelings for me. It’s just not as intense as true love.”

“You need to find the answer yourself.”

Kendall suddenly moved forward and hugged Rick tightly. “You’re so nice.”

Rick was stunned.

“I can’t become as smart and ruthless as Charlotte. Maybe she admires the heartless and decisive Shane, but I’m different. I like your gentleness. I admire your merciful style of doing things.” Kendall leaned against Rick’s back and muttered to herself.

Rick sighed, turned around and hugged her gently. Kendall raised her head and kissed him on the lips. “Rick, I like you. I’ve liked you very much since I was a kid.”

“Did you come back because you heard the news that I was getting married?” he asked.

“That’s right!”

“If I didn’t do as you expected and gave up on Charlotte because of Shane, what would you have done?”

“I’ll sabotage you and break you up. I’m a wicked villain anyway. Even if I can’t get you, I won’t let anyone else have you!”

That was why.

Even if he could make flawless preparation, there would still be some variables. For example, Kendall, whom he always regarded as a good person. For example, Shane, who had done nothing but had aroused the strong possessiveness in Rick’s heart and burned away all of his rationality. Not to mention Charlotte, who had personally brought Kendall to him.

Sometimes the scary part about fate was that it was completely out of anyone’s control.

When she saw that Rick was silent, Kendall’s heart skipped a beat. She asked in a low voice, “Am I so bad? Is it that you dislike me like this? I can…”

Before the word “change” came out of her mouth, Rick reached out and kissed her on the lips.

“I don’t think that your nature is bad. Maybe that’s what Charlotte thinks as well, so she classified you as being too childish. I think she didn’t target you because she wants to pin the blame on Christopher and Elaine. In other words, she thinks that it was them who made you kidnap Sheryl.”

Kendall was a little confused. After she thought about it for a long time, she shook her head and said, “I wanted to kidnap her myself. I kidnapped her daughter instead because I couldn’t find her. It was only after I took Sheryl that…”

“Are you still on Elaine’s side?”

“No, what I mean is that this has nothing to do with anyone else. I admit that I was wrong, and I’m not asking you to forgive me. As long as I am with you, I don’t mind going to jail.”

This woman.

Both he and Charlotte had already found an excuse for her. But on the contrary, it was her who couldn’t get over it.

Rick put his hand on the top of her head, but then he moved it slowly all the way down to her shoulder. He touched her collarbone through the thin layer of cloth.

Kendall blushed and looked at him innocently with wide eyes. “Rick.”

“Hm.” There was a hint of pity in his eyes. “No matter what happens, you only need to remember one thing. Whether it’s me or Charlotte, we won’t make things difficult for you. However, you have to know in your heart that it’s not because of Charlotte’s stupidity, nor is it because you weren’t wrong. She just doesn’t want to pursue the matter.”

“I know this, especially after I was with you. Actually, I think about this every day…” Kendall bit her lip.

“Just wait and we’ll see what happens. When the time comes… I’ll…”

Rick did not continue.

After all, he was not sure what would happen to the Stevens family if he teamed up with Avery and Shane.

Maybe he would make use of Kendall.

By then, if Kendall was still willing to be with him, he would marry her and protect her for the rest of her life.

Kendall also had a feeling in her heart. But when she thought that her father and brother’s love for her came with an ulterior motive, she hated her family. She thought that, if the Stevens family was ruined, would her brother and father treat her like an ordinary woman and love her as more than a tool?

After all, her brother had been nice to her when she was a child, just as nice as Rick was.

In another room in the Jane villa.

Anne walked back and forth angrily in the room. “Braden, tell me what Rick is thinking. He actually brought Kendall Stevens home. Is he sick in the head?”

“Isn’t this good?” Braden threw the remote control aside and put his hands into his pockets. “Your brother is smarter than us. It’s impossible that he won’t use this opportunity.”

“But the woman has kidnapped Sheryl. Who knows what she will do? I don’t want to call such a woman my sister-in-law.”

“Charlotte doesn’t even care. Why are you so worked up?”

“How dare you!”

Braden got up with a cheeky smile and hugged her. “Anne, your brother and Charlotte are worthy of your trust. There won’t be any problems with what they plan to do. Besides, I don’t know what exactly happened. I heard from Cole that it was Christopher and Elaine who used Kendall.”

“Who would believe such a thing, I…”

Right at that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Anne opened the door in a bad mood. When she saw an innocent and adorable woman standing at the door, she was stunned.

“What are you doing?”

“Rick asked me to give you this.” Kendall handed her a document. “He said he will transfer his shares to you as a wedding gift. Just sign it.”

“Transfer them to me? And you agree with it?” Anne was suspicious.

What was her brother thinking?

Why didn’t he tell her this himself, but get Kendall to do it instead?

Was he out of his mind?
