Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 103

"Sheryl, is your mommy here?"

The teacher asked Sheryl, who was standing in a corner obediently.

"My parent will be here."

Sheryl stared at the ground. Her face was puffed up with anger, which made her look strangely adorable.

The teacher was suddenly overcome with the urge to comfort the child. But when she saw another child's parent glaring at her imposing manner, she could only hold back the words she wanted to say.

"If your family can't give me an explanation, you'd better stop coming to school!" said one of the parents, a middle-aged woman.

"Lady, it's not my fault. Your son provoked me first, so I returned the insult."

Sheryl rolled her big dark eyes, and her quirky expression could evoke one's maternal instinct. She secretly glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and muttered in her heart, 'Why hasn't daddy come yet?'

"Watch your mouth!"

The middle-aged woman sitting in the chair suddenly pointed to Sheryl and continued to shout, "If your parents don't come here today, you'd better find another kindergarten! You're already so cocky when you're young. Who knows how bad you would be when you grow up!"

"What's going on?"

As soon as Shane came to the door, he saw his pitiful daughter standing by the wall, and his heart suddenly ached.

"Daddy!"

When Sheryl saw her father coming over, she ran toward him right away.

"Hi."

Shane ruffled Sheryl's hair affectionately and smiled softly.

"You are..."

The middle- aged woman, who had been yelling, suddenly calmed down. But for the sake of her pride, she continued to say, "Are you her parent?"

"That's right."

Shane glanced at her coldly, but his eyes didn't linger on the woman in front of him.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Cole couldn't help but feel sorry for that woman... for what was about to happen to her.

"Daddy, don't listen to that lady. In fact, I didn't do this for no reason. Her son insulted my mommy and said that I didn't have daddy, so I quarreled with him."

Sheryl snuggled up against Shane's chest and pouted.

"Humph!"

When the middle-aged woman shot Sheryl a glare, she was startled by Shane's cold glance.

"You're Sheryl's dad, aren't you?"

The teacher asked Shane shyly.

"I've said that, so I won't repeat."

"Miss, he is my daddy. My mommy is married to him."

Sheryl smiled and put her arms around Shane's neck.

"But he's not your biological father. Am I wrong?" said the little boy who fought with Sheryl.

The boy, who had been nestled in the arms of his mother, suddenly stuck out his head, but quickly shrank back down.

"Mom..."

With a hint of timidity, he called out to the woman.

When the woman saw that Shane was about to leave with Sheryl in his arms, she mustered the courage and blocked the door. She said brusquely, "You can't go. This matter hasn't been resolved yet."

"Resolved?"

Shane raised his eyebrows.

"My son is the future heir of Oceania Corporation. Your daughter had said nasty things to him. What if he has psychological trauma because of that?"

The middle-aged woman was unwilling to let it go. As Cole, who had tried to diminish his sense of presence, watched the scene unfold, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is that the case? Oi, Cole."

An emotionless voice echoed in the room. Cole took a look at his president, who was on the verge of an outburst, and took out a check.

"Is five million dollars enough to resolve this matter?"

All the people present except Shane and Sheryl were shocked by Cole's words.

Shane didn't even say a word when his assistant took out a five-million-dollar check, as if he was used to doing that. This made the middle- aged woman reevaluate this situation.

"Do you think I'm doing this for money? My family is not short of money."

The woman continued to speak with pride.

She knew that if she accepted the check, she would have to leave like a loser.

"Is your family running Oceania Corporation?"

Shane glanced coldly at the spoiled brat who was being held in his arms by the woman and gave a loop-sided smile.

"Cole, prepare a purchase plan."

"Yes, sir."

This sentence stunned everyone in the room, especially the woman who had been aggressive until now. Her legs suddenly went weak. And she had no choice but to let Shane leave with Sheryl in his arms.

"You - "

"Sorry, you've messed with the wrong people. Oceania Corporation is going to be acquired by Fuller Group in the next three days."

Cole had no expression on his face as he adjusted the gold frame glasses on his nose before finally speaking in a calm voice.

"Fuller Group?"

The woman muttered, completely regarding how flustered and embarrassing she looked. She sat down on the ground and stared stupidly at Shane as he left.

When they got back to the car, Sheryl gave Shane a loud kiss on the cheek.

"Kiddo, why didn't you call your mom instead?"

Shane looked meaningfully at Sheryl.

"Um... because mommy is very busy."

She kept her head down and didn't want to look into Shane's eyes.

"I don't like kids who lie."

It was rare for Shane to have the patience to joke with Sheryl.

"It's.... because daddy can solve every problem, like Superman!"

In the end, Sheryl raised her head and said with embarrassment.

"That's right."

Shane nodded, and there was a faint smile on his face.

"Daddy, can you take me to mommy's place? I haven't seen her for days."

"All right."

Shane always fulfilled Sheryl's requests.

Standing in front of Anne's apartment, Sheryl stood on her toes and patted the front door.

"Mommy, Aunt Jane, this is Sheryl!"

She was panting, but it didn't affect the volume of her voice. On the contrary, she sounded even louder and anxious.

"Mommy, this is Sheryl..." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The next second, the door was immediately opened. Charlotte saw the little girl In front of her and realized that it wasn't a dream at all. She forcefully held back her tears of joy and lifted her daughter in her arms.

"Sheryl, mommy misses you so much."

"I miss you too, mommy."

Sheryl planted a kiss on her mother's cheek and giggled.

Charlotte looked behind her daughter, but she didn't see Shane.

"Mommy, daddy has left."

Sheryl could not help but remind her.

After entering the apartment hand-in-hand, the child kept her head down.

"Mommy, I want to talk to you about something."

"What's the matter?"

Charlotte cut the fruit that she had just bought into slices and placed them all in front of Sheryl.

"Sheryl? Why didn't you give me a kiss? You've forgotten about me because of your mommy and daddy. You ungrateful little girl!"

Anne had just changed her clothes and rushed toward the child, pretending to be sad.

"No, I never forget about you!"

Sheryl was explaining herself anxiously and completely forgot that she had something important to say.

The two adults burst into laughter when they saw the worried look on the girl's face.

Meanwhile, in the Fuller residence, a woman glared at a man who came to her with a piece of news.

"Say that again?"

"Because of that child, Mr. Fuller postponed the meeting with the Ivygreen Group from M Country."

The man stood in front of Raina and told the story in detail.

"Ridiculous!"

Raina directly threw the thermos cup in her hand to the floor, crossed her arms, and sat down on the sofa. She patted herself in the chest until her anger subsided.
