Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 426

The news of Sheryl getting injured was a big deal, so Shane naturally had to go and find her. When he arrived, he noticed that Nathan was there too.

They hadn't seen each other since the last international exhibition. It should have been at least five years since they last met. If Shane still looked the same as before, then Nathan had definitely added some weight. Although he still looked handsome, you can hardly see his jawline from his previous years now. He still had the same noble and charming smile, but he already had wrinkles on his forehead.

"Shane, how come you did not age?" Nathan was astonished.

"I'm seven years younger than you." Shane frowned and said, "Seven years later, I'll look as greasy as you are now."

Nathan burst into laughter. "Seven years ago, I wasn't as self-aware as you are," He said as he pulled his son closer to him. "This is my son, Freddie. You've seen his mother before. She passed away because of ALS. I've always loved her and missed her. And I've never wanted to find someone new. That's why I let Irena stay with me. After all, her heart is already dead. There's no need to worry that she might have any bad intentions."

"She is the lover of my friend," Shane said.

"I know. That's why I've been very generous. I can still manage those troubles. However, I did that for your daughter's sake."

"Daughter?"

"My son said that her name is Sheryl and that she's very cute. He wants to invite her to our house. If she agrees, she can take Avery's daughter with her too. Of course, both of them will have to agree

first."

"I disagree." Olive opened her mouth without even considering it.

This matter had nothing to do with her from the start. Besides, she didn't like Freddie either. He looked too cute and small, like an ant. She could easily slap him to death. A kid like him thought he had the potential to flirt with Sheryl? He could just dream on. Maybe it would still be acceptable if it was an older kid.

Sheryl couldn't speak as freely as Olive did. She knew that her words and actions represented Shane, and the education Shane and Avery received was completely different.

Avery never restricted Olive's behavior. If Olive was in trouble, he would have just helped her out.

He wouldn't care about losing face.

However, Shane was different. Sheryl could always mess around with Shane at home, but as long as she was outside, not to mention mess around, it would be better if she didn't act cute to her daddy too. Unless there were only daddy, mommy, and daddy's friends around, she could only be an obedient and put-together child.

She didn't think it was a bad thing. After all, it was easy for her to behave like a polite and sensible child when she was outside.

Nathan laughed again and asked, "What do Mr. Fuller and your daughter think?"

"I don't accept marriage of convenience. As for other things, it's up to you."

"If that's the case, then that would be the best. I also think that there's no need for me to arrange a marriage. So, Sheryl, do you want to go back with me and play for a few days?"

"Mister, my mommy has been hospitalized these two days. She's very unwell. I don't want to go too far away from her, so I can't go to your castle to play," Sheryl replied politely.

"That's a pity." Nathan was actually taken aback by her answer.

Freddie was upset. Just as he was about to say that he could help her solve her mother's problem,

Sheryl spoke again.

"But my daddy also has a castle. You all can move there."

Nathan cracked up.

He was shocked by her answer and laughed until he almost fell to the ground. He pinched Sheryl's cheek with a big smile on his face. "You're so lovely. Much more lovely than your father."

"You're very talkative, aren't you?" Shane spoke coldly.

"Your daughter is so cute." Nathan carried Sheryl on his shoulder and said, "How about this, Mr. Fuller. I have a medical team too. Let them help your daughter come up with a solution. As for the other children, just let them stay home and play. What do you think?"

"Not that great."

"I can help take care of the children." At this moment, Irena returned to Freddie's side and brought Avery back with her at the same time. "I've already explained everything to Avery. He respects my decision and promised not to reveal anything about me."

Nathan's eyes fell on Avery, and he said with disdain, "Irena's achievements in the past few years are beyond your reach."

Upon hearing that, Avery was infuriated.

Initially, he had wanted to thank Nathan because he was the one who saved Irena after all.

"Be polite to my friend." Shane eyed Avery and said, "Bring Sheryl and Olive home first."

"Okay." Avery nodded and turned to Irena, saying, "Do you want to come with us, Irena?"

Irena was a little embarrassed. She was not used to being close with him so quickly.

But Avery didn't feel like something was wrong. He treated her just like how close they used to be.

"If I don't let you have Irena, my son's wife may be gone. You can go." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Boss!" Irena bit her lips.

"Are you going to disobey my order?" Nathan smiled.

"I don't dare to..."

Now, Irena could only leave with Avery.

After Nathan put down Sheryl, he took his son with him and asked him to discuss the current international situation with Shane.

Shane thought he was only showing off at first, but slowly he realized that something was wrong. After asking a few questions, he fell silent.

"Mister, why did you stop?" Freddie was actually more or less in awe of the man in front of him.

The first reason was that Shane was already a genius since he was a child, just like him. Second, even his father had to bow to him in his own territory. So as a son, he certainly couldn't show any disrespect to him.

"How much is your IQ?"

"190," replied Freddie.

Did you know what it was like to have a 190 IQ?

Stephen Hawking's IQ was only 170.

The IQ of the smartest person in the world was 210. This person could read the language of four countries at the age of four, and he was able to study abroad at the age of eight.

So, with his 190 IQ, even if he only pursued the easiest job in the future, he would still be able to become the best in that industry due to his intelligence.

"Great genes," Shane commented.

"If he had brain damage at birth, can you guess if I would exchange him for the life of my lover?"

"I will."

"I'll do the same thing too. He can still live if he has brain damage, but I only have one lover. I'm glad that we think alike. After so many years, I can still have a good chat with you." Nathan patted Shane's shoulder and said, "I also feel sorry toward my child for venting all my anger on him before. He really hadn't done anything wrong."

Shane waved his hand and Freddie immediately walked up to him.

"Do you like my daughter?"

Freddie nodded.

"Why?"

"She glows," Freddie replied without hesitation. "When I look at her, she's glowing. And when I don't look at her, she's still glowing. Moreover, I feel like she seemed to be the person I was destined for. There's a voice in my mind telling me that it's her."

Mind that he was an eight-year-old child.

Shane nodded and said, "I have a vacant villa. So, I'll have to ask you to take good care of Sheryl with Avery and Irena's help for a short period of time."

"It seems like we came just in time." Nathan raised an eyebrow.

"My lover is also very important to me." Shane left as soon as he finished speaking.

Nathan looked at his back and shouted, "Send the hospital address to Avery later."

Shane didn't respond, but Nathan knew that he heard him.

Freddie asked, "Can I go look for Sheryl now?"

"Your mother named you Freddie Doyle. So you will always be Freddie Doyle."

Freddie sounded nice.

Freddie felt that Sheryl would call him Freddie no matter what.
