Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

Surprise washed over her as she raised her head and looked at Shane. Her mind was completely blank and she was at a loss. She didn’t know what to think of this.

“Take a look at the contents first,” Shane prompted.

Charlotte obediently lowered her head again and read through the document carefully.

As the seconds ticked by, Shane remained nestled in his leather seat as he gracefully sipped from his cup of coffee.

Every now and then, his gaze would float toward Charlotte.

Four words then suddenly popped up in his mind.

“Time passes in silence.”

Inadvertently, the corners of his lips rose ever so slightly.

After reading every line in the document, Charlotte let out a long sigh in her heart.

For some reason, it was utter relief for her that Shane’s intention was not really to marry her, but instead to establish a contractual marriage for two years.

What was his purpose for doing so?

And why her?

It was as though Shane read her mind just by staring at her.

“To me, women are like articles of clothing; but you, you’re different. You know how to put that big brain of yours to good use and, because of that, you would save me a lot of trouble if I were to marry you. At least when we are to divorce, you wouldn’t cry or make a scene.” Shane paused for a moment, then continued, “And as a compensation, I’ll help you return to Emerson Corporation.”

Charlotte’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, but Shane caught it in its fleeting moment. He could tell he had managed to tickle her deepest desires.

He added, “On the other hand, your daughter needs a father, and it happens that I adore the child very much.”

Even though the DNA test result was a disappointment to him, it did not stop his love for dear little Sheryl.

Besides, it was probable that his grandmother would be beyond delighted to meet such an adorable child like Sheryl.

Charlotte suddenly remembered the picture of him with Sheryl that she had left out on her bedside table and her heart skipped a beat.

A moment later, she uttered sincerely, “Thank you for taking Sheryl to that family event the other day.”

She was certain that she would always remember Shane’s great deed.

“Still, I would need some time to think about this.”

Even though it would just be a contractual marriage, it was a marriage regardless.

Shane’s eyes traveled to the tight fists Charlotte’s fingers had formed from nervousness. He then nodded his head. “Alright, but I can only give you tonight to think. By eight o’clock tomorrow, I need a definitive answer.”

After the discussion ended, Charlotte left with her daughter.

Lee couldn’t help but feel on edge for Shane. This was the first time the young master brought a girl back home, so why didn’t he ask her to stay for dinner?

“Young Master, Miss Charlotte has not eaten. She may be hungry,” Lee hinted.

Shane slightly narrowed his eyes as he stared in the direction Charlotte had left.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing the young master’s unrushed state, Lee tactfully held his tongue. However, in his heart, he itched to tell the First Madam about this.

Right as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice interrupted him.

“I’ll inform Grandma on my own.”

‘Great,’ Lee thought. Suddenly, he felt that there was nothing else he could do.
