Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

As she watched a hateful Charlotte walk over, Elaine did not show the slightest bit of anxiety.

“Where’s my dad?”

Charlotte’s shoulders were shaking slightly. She clenched her fists and looked at Elaine in front of her.

“Can’t you tell what’s going on?”

Elaine’s face was filled with disdain. She let out a cold snort and was about to turn around to leave when she was stopped by Charlotte who was standing behind her.

“I want to see… him.”

In the end, Charlotte did not say the word ‘corpse’ out loud. As she looked at the huge photo frame placed in the middle of the room, her black eyes filled with tears, but she did not let them fall.

“There are only ashes left. Since you’re here now, you can still send your father on his way.”

Elaine suddenly approached Charlotte, and continued with a vicious tone, “You don’t want to make trouble at your father’s funeral, do you? So it’s best if you behave.”

Since her back was facing the main room, Elaine did not see the boy rushing toward her.

“Mom.”

Elaine turned her head to look at the boy who was hugging her thigh. She smiled and lifted him up. She gently stroked the boy’s hair and pretended to be sad as she said, “Alistair, let’s go see your father and let him see you again.”

“Okay.”

Although he did not quite understand what had happened, the boy in Elaine’s arms still nodded.

As she looked at the people coming and going, who continued to pay their respects, Charlotte gripped her collar tightly in her hands. She slowly sat down against the wall, looking in a somewhat sorry state.

She seemed to have become an orphan without any parents…

At that moment, Shane, who had just arrived at the office, was stopped by Zoe. He was shrouded by a bad mood in an instant. Cole, who had been following him, gave Zoe a look, but she turned a blind eye to it.

“Mr. Fuller, this is an invitation from the Emerson Corporation.”

“Tell me about it.”

Shane spat coldly. He didn’t even look at the white invitation that Zoe handed him.

“The Emerson Corporation’s Timothy Emerson passed away a few days ago. A wake is being held today. You…”

Before Zoe could finish her words, the white invitation in her hand was quickly snatched away.

“Why didn’t you tell me when it happened?”

There was a flash of malice in Shane’s eyes, which made Cole, who had been standing behind him, tremble.

“I just found out myself. The Emerson Corporation must have suppressed the news on purpose. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the media not to find out.”

Zoe explained simply. She still held a stack of documents in her arms, but she did not hand them over immediately.

She watched as Shane, who had just only stepped into the office, disappeared again before her eyes. Zoe shook her head helplessly.

Outside Sea Park, Anne rushed over to the Emerson family’s place with Braden once she heard the news.

“Don’t worry.”

Braden kept comforting her.

“How can I not be worried? Why did I only get this news today? Where is Lottie now?”

Anne hated that she had not been informed of this at all.

“Shane arrived at the company more than an hour ago, but he left in a hurry. I think that he has also gone to the Emersons’.”

“Braden, what should we do? Lottie will definitely fall apart.”

Along the way, Anne kept muttering to herself, putting her hands on the car window from time to time.

Once she arrived at the Emersons’, Anne did not dare to step into the house. She was afraid that she would see a scene that she could not accept.

“Let’s go in.”

Braden put his hand gently on Anne’s shoulder and half-pushed the latter in step by step.

Cole, who had been standing at the door the whole time, looked at the two people who came in and respectfully called out, “Mr. Collins.”

“Where is Shane?”

“Mr. Fuller just arrived and should be in the reception hall now.”

When Anne heard Cole’s words, she shook off Braden’s hand and ran straight in.

Since Anne came with Braden, not many people dared to stop her.

In the reception hall, Shane’s arrival undoubtedly became the focus of everyone’s attention.

When Elaine saw Shane coming over, she was also slightly surprised. Originally, she had sent him an invitation experimentally, but she did not really expect him to come.

However, it didn’t matter anymore. That woman, Raina Fuller, would never allow a woman who was pregnant out of wedlock and had been disowned by her father to marry into the Fuller family.

“Mr. Fuller.”

Elaine pretended to be sad as she looked at Shane who was walking toward her. She picked up Alistair and went over to greet him.

Shane glanced at Elaine coldly, but his eyes were continuously focused on the woman who was awkwardly squatted on the ground, hugging her knees. She looked as if she was in a lot of distress.

“Follow me.”

Shane didn’t pay any attention to Elaine beside him. He walked over and stood in front of Charlotte. His wide palm appeared in front of Charlotte’s lowered sight.

“Shane.”

When she saw the tall figure in front of her, Charlotte’s tear could no longer be controlled. Fat tears flowed out of her eyes.

Anne, who had just rushed to the door, was about to run over, but was stopped by Braden next to her.

He could see that Lottie was becoming slightly more important in Shane’s heart.

“Don’t go.”

Braden raised his eyebrows meaningfully and continued, “Go pay your respects first. Everyone is watching.”

Once it was pointed out by Braden, Anne realized that everyone was staring at Shane and Charlotte in surprise. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

“Look at me.”

Braden grinned captivatingly, showing his signature smile, and walked towards some people he had met before who were gathered together to one side.

“Mr. Collins?”

Braden deliberately stood in the middle to attract everyone’s attention. He paid his respects presentably.

“Sorry, I came in such a hurry that I didn’t prepare anything.”

He turned to look at Elaine, who was walking toward him, and said emotionlessly.

“It’s okay, Mr. Collins. It’s enough that you came.”

Elaine felt flattered and stared at Braden. He was almost as handsome as Shane. A sudden flash of calculation passed over her eyes.

Braden, who thought he had a lot of experience with women, could easily tell that Elaine was not as simple as she seemed. However, since he was at a wake, he continued to keep a distant look on his face. He glanced over at the wall from the corner of his eye to find that the two people there had disappeared.

In the garden, Shane put down the hand that was holding tightly onto Lottie’s shoulder. He helped Charlotte to sit on a stone chair.

“If you want to, just cry.”

Shane looked down at the woman who was still holding back her emotions, and his heart ached.

“Crying will only make those who are jealous of you happy. I won’t be so stupid anymore.”

Charlotte covered her heart with a hand and suddenly raised her tear-stained pale face. She said word by word, “Shane, did you know that I’ve seen this before years ago? At the time, I felt very much in pain.”

Shane frowned and stared at Charlotte, whose shoulders were trembling. He continued to listen and did not say a word throughout the whole process.

“I can’t change anything. Although I hoped that he would be punished five years ago when I was disowned, I never wished for him to die. Never!”

Charlotte smiled bitterly and placed her hands on the top of her head. She lowered her head and sobbed silently.

When Anne came out to see this scene, she walked over feeling distressed. Shane stood aside for her.

“Lottie.”

Usually, her name was easy to say, but at this moment, Anne didn’t dare to call her name.
