His voice slowly faded as he walked away. Shane's mouth twitched slightly.

"Mr. President, did you want to see me?"

Zoe Watson, Shane's secretary, stood before him in a professional suit. She had the career every woman was envious of but it didn't come without a price. She had to be patient and calm all the time.

"Yes."

But after a long pause, Shane turned to Zoe and said, "It's fine. You can leave."

Even though Zoe was very confused, she didn't question him. She respectfully pushed the door open and left.

After getting off work, Charlotte couldn't help but go to Sheryl's kindergarten. However, she noticed a familiar car parked at the side of the road outside the kindergarten.

She immediately knew who it was by one look at the number plate.

"President, it's Mrs. Fuller-"

Cole clenched his teeth and said. He glanced nervously at Shane, who was resting, through the rearview mirror.

God knows how long they had been waiting outside of the kindergarten...

Shane slowly opened his eyes. His intense eyes gradually relaxed.

"Mr. President, I think Mrs. Fuller has seen us. I'll go..."

Cole swallowed hard as he felt a chill down his spine and his voice slowly became softer.

"It's fine."

Shane sat crossed- legged and looked at Charlotte who quickly averted her gaze from his car. There was a strange feeling in his heart.

As the school bell rang, a group of children rushed out of the yard.

"Mommy -"

Sheryl ran towards Charlotte excitedly with open arms. While she was in Charlotte's arms, her eyes darted back and forth.

"Baby, what are you looking at?"

Charlotte asked in confusion.

"Mommy, didn't daddy come?"
