Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“Why shouldn’t I?” Shane didn’t give him any face.

“I admit that I didn’t handle the situation well, but the problem is that the two of them didn’t really want to do anything about it! There was nothing much I could do either, other than looking for you. However, it’s not because you’re powerful, it’s because you’re Charlotte’s boyfriend. Look, if I had been Charlotte’s boyfriend, I’d be able to settle it in the blink of an eye.” Avery retorted.

The two men glared at each other heatedly.

Charlotte’s face was blank. She couldn’t figure out why she had been dragged into their argument. She tried to defuse the situation helplessly. “You’re both really great, alright? The most superior beings at this table. Could you both just settle down and stop embarrassing me and Cassius? We’re going to get to work later tonight. If you guys start making trouble now, we won’t be able to finish our meal in time, and the meeting will get delayed. I don’t want to have to waste another day here, alright? Time is of the essence.”

Avery snorted coldly and said, “Then tell your husband to stop patronising me! It’s not like I didn’t want to settle the matter! It’s just that it was nearly impossible for me to do so. If having a meal out with someone can be construed as being romantically entangled with someone, then I’ve probably been with hundreds of people! The netizens are looking for gossip anywhere they can, it’s unreasonable to blame it on me!”

Charlotte said helplessly, “I know it’s not easy for you, but Shane came all the way here to settle this matter, right? No matter how you look at it, he did end up dispelling all those rumours.”

“Of course you’re on his side! You’re his wife! Whatever, come with me, Cassius. Let them stay here for dinner, we’ll head out first.”

“Oh, alright…” Cassius had been eating. When he heard Avery’s words, he hurriedly put his utensils down, and left with Avery.

“Bang!”

Avery slammed the door behind them loudly.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Charlotte walked up to Shane and sat on his lap. “What should we do now? Not only is Avery angry, but you are too. I can’t do anything but sit here and watch. Why can’t you just help me out without all this drama?”

“You have a problem with that?”

“Of course not.” Charlotte leaned on his shoulder. “I’m very happy that you’ve come all the way here just for me. To be honest, Avery had come up with plenty of ideas to dispel the rumours, but Cassius and I didn’t think they were feasible. Plus, we thought that there was no need to clarify anything. After all, we’ve only just eaten together, and we’re just on business. The truth would come out sooner or later.”

“You’re too concerned about Cassius…” Shane held her chin. “You’re too thoughtful.”

“He’s very pitiful.” She raised her eyebrows at him. “If you become as pitiful as him, I’ll definitely protect you twenty-four-seven. But alas, you don’t seem to need my protection at all. You’re always the one protecting me instead. I’d like to experience what it’s like to protect you just once some time in the future.”

“That time might come very soon.”

She tilted her head in query.

“I’ll be playing the piano, right? At the time, if someone’s being mean to me, you can help protect me from them,” He said in a calm tone.

Charlotte almost laughed. “Come on, who would dare bully you? You’re Shane Fuller. Just hearing that name will make anyone run for the hills, fearing for their lives. Even if they do end up taking their revenge on you, they won’t be able to withstand your retaliation. I’m really excited for you to play the piano. When will that be?”

“Give me another month.”

“Are you still planning to deal with Christopher?”

Shane didn’t respond.

Charlotte sighed. “To be honest, even if you’ve turned into a wicked villain by the end of this, you’ll still be the Shane Fuller I love with all my heart. At first, I couldn’t figure it out from my point of view. But now that I think about it, I guess whatever you’re planning to do isn’t unjustified. From your point of view, this solution might seem best.”

“Have you thought it through?”

She nodded. “No matter what you choose to do, I will support you. Even if… Well, whatever it is you decide to do, I’ll stay with you.”

“I won’t kill anyone.”

Charlotte nodded.

She didn’t want him to fall into the abyss, and never be able to get back out of it. But these few days, she had come to an understanding.

If one hadn’t fallen into the abyss already, how could one have come up with such an idea?

She had tried her best to stop it from happening, but if there was no way to stop it, well, she could only embrace it. She loved Shane, that was something that would never change.

…

After Shane returned to Brine, Charlotte and Avery went to visit plenty of willing families together. They had already established the price for the kidney, but it was difficult to find a compatible one. Just when the two were about to give up, they finally found someone suitable. The other party was also willing to go to Brine for surgery.

After everything was arranged, Charlotte rushed back to Brine and found a hospital to negotiate with.

After that was settled, she went home feeling exhausted. Just as her head hit her pillow, her phone rang out.

Her limbs felt weak as she stretched out to grab her phone. “Hello?”

“Where are you?” Rick’s voice was a little hoarse.

“What’s wrong? I’m at home. I just got back. Are you okay?”

“Shane’s target was not Christopher at all, but the Fuller Residence! Today, both Shane and Christopher were in the same restaurant. It turns out that this had nothing to do with the hotel Augustus had died in.”

Charlotte felt that something was amiss.

“The fire is still burning strong at the moment, and the Fuller family has been rescued. Raina was heavily injured in the fire, but at the moment, her condition is stabilised. The rest of them are in the ICU. The Brine police force is going crazy. They’re still looking for the person behind all of this, but it seems like the whole incident will be ruled as an accident. From this moment on, Christopher and Shane have full control over the Fuller family and NC.”

Charlotte involuntarily shut her eyes as she heard.

Rick took a deep breath and continued, “Shane and Christopher are missing now. I don’t want to put the blame on him. If I were him, I would’ve done the same to these so-called relatives of mine, but…”

Rick tried his best to get his words out, but it was too difficult.

“But this also means that Shane and Christopher have planned this whole thing out together, that they’ve been working together this whole time.” Charlotte finished the sentence for him.

“What’s more, Shane must’ve helped hide Christopher from us before. I don’t know when exactly they started cooperating, but my best guess is they started since the mysterious investment of the Emerson Corporation. Do you remember? Emerson Corporation was on the verge of closing down, and when we were about to make a move, a huge investment was suddenly made.”

It must have been Shane.

Shane had been working with Christopher since the beginning.

A family feud between the two? That was just an act. In the end, the two brothers had merely put on a show in front of everyone else.

Charlotte didn’t know what to say. She just smiled and replied, “Rick, I regret giving Kendall to you now.”

“I didn’t expect things to turn out like this either. Kendall and I are ready to leave this place soon. If you want to, you can come with us as well.”

“There’s no need for that. I…”

For some reason, Charlotte rejected the offer right away.

Perhaps it was because she wanted to hear Shane’s explanation.

“Alright, I understand. Avery and Peter will be around to accompany you. This time, I’m really leaving. Lottie, you know that I’m not a person who likes to take risks, and I’m not that well-acquainted with Shane anyway. Kendall and I were planning to meet up with you to say goodbye, but if you’re at home right now, forget it. I won’t disturb you at the moment.”

“Rick, what will happen to Anne after you leave?”

“I’ll leave everything to her. Just like you said, if the both of us need help with expenses while we’re travelling around the world, you’ll help us out, right?” Rick said with a smile.

He had already established a company for Kendall. He had already taught her everything there was to know about world-renowned antiques, famous paintings, and luxury products. Now, it was time to let her go and put that knowledge to practice.

She would make enough money to live a relatively comfortable life.

In general, it was a very fulfilling job.
