Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“Yes, I have some medicine.” Henry took out a small bag of pills. “I’ll bring her some water. Once she takes this, she will be sleeping for four to five hours.”

“Okay.” Shane nodded.

Henry left the bedroom to get some water.

Shane lowered his gaze. He looked at the fragile woman in his arms and gently stroked the tips of her eyebrows with his fingers.

“Did you hear that? If you go all out for Rick, you are really going to give your life to him.”

“I don’t want to let Rick down…” She was in such great pain that her words were incoherent.

“He’s just using you.”

“He’s not.”

Shane didn’t want to argue too much with this insensible woman. He coldly withdrew his arm and said, “Think about it carefully. You have problems with your health now. How can Rick help you?”

Charlotte tightened her grip on the blanket. “No. He also told me to rest, but I didn’t want to. If I want to catch up with all of you, I have to work even harder than all of you. But even if I were lucky enough to have ten years head-start, I could still only be good enough not to be a burden to all of you.”

“Catch up with us?” Shane felt like he was listening to a joke.

“I don’t want to rely on you forever. When something happens, I want to solve it myself, instead of…”

It made him feel that she should ask him for help as soon as possible.

Shane took a probing look at her. Then he bent down and pointed between her eyebrows. “A smart woman must learn how to make use of men in addition to being capable. Obviously, both me and Rick can be your weapons.”

Charlotte shook her head subconsciously. She stretched out her hand and pushed him away. She struggled to stand up and looked at him seriously, “If I rely on Rick, at least it’s related to benefits. But if I rely on you, then what’s the point of it?”

“What do you think?”

“I… I know we have nothing to do with each other.”

“That’s up to you. I’ll tell Rick that, if such a thing happens again, I’ll make his Janes Corporation disappear from the Asia Pacific Region. You can decide what to do.”

Shane stood up and left the bedroom.

“This man!” Charlotte seethed.

Charlotte’s eyes widened. He had threatened her!

Charlotte’s stomach hurt.

She clutched at her stomach and felt even more aggrieved.

Was it still her fault that she didn’t bother anyone?

If she had known that skipping two meals would cause a stomachache, she wouldn’t have skipped them. It was  just that she had been too busy in those two days. She had been sleepy once she got on the plane and didn’t have time to have lunch.

Additionally, she had signed the contract with Avery that day. If she said, “I’m going to have dinner first,” right after meeting him, then she definitely wouldn’t have gotten the contract signed.

She also knew that overwork was bad, so she was resting now, wasn’t she?

There were so many people in the Jane Corporation and NC Company. They both had countless workaholics there, but none of those people collapsed from overwork.

Charlotte angrily hit the mattress to vent her frustration.

She was not angry with Shane. It was her own body that disappointed her.

If other people could do it, why couldn’t she? Why had she gotten sick?

Squeak-

Henry pushed the door open.

“Miss Charlotte.” Henry smiled at her. “When you take these pills, you will feel sleepy. You’d better go to sleep immediately. When you wake up, you will be fine.”

“Thank you.” Charlotte accepted the cup of water.

“I just examined you and analyzed your saliva. To put it simply, you’ve recently been consuming too little, which led to a problem with the secretion function of stomach acid.” Henry said.

“I’ll be careful.”

“You should eat proper meals in the next two days.”

Charlotte nodded.

Henry hesitated for a moment but eventually chose to speak up. “This is something I shouldn’t be saying. However, Miss Charlotte, Rome was not built in one day. If a person wants to build a city as quickly as possible, they will have to eat and drink without sleep or rest. However, they will die before they are even done.”

Rushing will get you nowhere-Even children in kindergarten understood the logic behind this, so Charlotte naturally understood.

She smiled and said, “Thank you, I’ll be careful.”

“Mr. Fuller is already being very patient with you. I also hope that you can be more patient with him.”

Charlotte was stunned. She didn’t understand how the conversation had gone back to Shane. Although she was suspicious, she understood Henry’s good intentions, so she nodded her head.

Henry left the room.

As Henry passed by the living room, he saw Shane still standing in front of the window. He sighed and whispered, “Are you lovesick, Mr. Fuller?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Stop joking.”

“I’m just curious. There’s been a lot of gossip in our circles. People are saying you picked up a certain Ms. Allen, but you’re here hiding out with someone else.”

“Do you have too much free time?”

“What you’re doing is called burning the bridge behind you.”

“Don’t I pay you?”

Henry felt helpless. Judging from Shane’s expression, it was useless for Henry to talk to him. It would be better for him to just leave first.

Mrs. Fuller Senior called to inquire about Charlotte’s condition. When she heard that Henry had thought that everything was fine, she stopped worrying about it and focused on playing with Sheryl.

Five hours passed.

Charlotte woke up yawning. Her stomach didn’t hurt anymore, but she was hungry.

She rubbed her belly, got out of bed, and changed her clothes. She wanted to find something to eat.

After changing her clothes, she turned around and got a fright.

Surprisingly, Shane was sleeping on the sofa. She covered her mouth and carefully walked around the sofa, trying to push the door open and go out-

“Where are you going?” The man lying on the sofa opened his eyes. His eyes were like ice-cold flames, and his gaze was piercing.

“I’m hungry. I’m going to eat something.”

Charlotte stopped and turned around to look at him.

Shane stood up and said, “Let’s go together.”

“Weren’t you sleeping?” she asked curiously.

“I don’t mind if you assume I’m sleepwalking.”

“What was going on with this person?” Charlotte wondered.

“Why does he have to go against everything I say?”

Charlotte replied with an “okay”. Without waiting for him, she headed out alone.

She was mean.

Shane pursed his lips and took large steps to keep up with her pace.

He stayed by her side for an entire afternoon. She didn’t even invite him when she went out for food.

Sure enough, there was no greater wrath than a woman scorned.

For some reason, Charlotte had turned into a woman with a heart full of poison. At this moment, she only had one thought – to eat.

Since there was a buffet restaurant in the hotel, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to eat until she was full.

Most of those who came here ate seafood. Even those who were of lesser means had steak.

Charlotte served herself a bowl of noodles and got some vegetables.

Shane sat opposite her, drinking coffee and enjoying some pasta. He wished he had never met this woman.

They were at a high-end restaurant.

And Charlotte was just eating noodles?

Once she finished her noodles, Charlotte smiled happily. “Delicious,” she praised.

“Miss Charlotte, please mind your behavior.”

“It’s okay, no one here knows me.”

The implication was that she was embarrassing Shane.

The veins on Shane’s forehead bulged and he got up to leave the restaurant.

As she watched the angry expression on Shane’s face, Charlotte smiled in satisfaction.

Let him be mad at her. He deserved it anyway!

Beep-beep!

Her phone rang all of a sudden.

Charlotte picked it up, and the name “Christopher Gibson” flashed on the screen. She was stunned for a moment before she immediately picked it up. “Christopher? I’ve been looking for you.”

Ever since Charlotte’s return, she had been calling Christopher, but he never answered.

In the past few months, she had been calling him non-stop, but he never picked up.

“Do you have NC Company’s shares?” Christopher’s voice sounded hoarse and tired.

“No,” Charlotte replied.

“Where are you now?”

“I’m working in the Jane Corporation.”

All of a sudden, Charlotte felt that there was something wrong with Christopher.

After a few seconds of silence, she chuckled and said, “Do you want to meet up?”

“I’ll be with my daughter these two days. How about we meet at the Jane Corporation after my vacation? I’ve been very busy recently.”

“Alright.”

“What about you? What are you busy with?”

“Let’s talk when we meet.”

Christopher ended the communication in this way.

An alarm started ringing in Charlotte’s heart.

Logically speaking, Christopher had no reason to ask her if she had NC Company’s shares. Was he worried about Shane?

No, she had to ask Shane about this.

Charlotte thought for a moment before putting the phone back into her pocket and walking toward the room. The moment the door opened, she heard a clear and cold male voice coming from within–

“I can marry you.”
