"It's me." The person on the phone only said two words.

"Shane..." Charlotte's voice quivered.

Shane glanced at the little fellow who was playing in the ball pit at the playground. His eyes softened at the sight of that. "Let's have dinner together and tell me about the content of today's meeting." Charlotte sniffed and said, "I don't want to see you."

"What's wrong?" He frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong with her.

"I'm fine."

"How can you say that you're fine when you're crying? Give me your address."

Charlotte shook her head. Only after a while did she remember that they were on the phone, and he couldn't see her shaking her head.

She said, "I'm really fine."

"Come have dinner with me then."

"I'm really not in the mood for dinner today. How about tomorrow?" Charlotte's voice was hoarse, making her sound rather pathetic. "Stay where you are."

Before Charlotte understood the meaning of this sentence, she heard Shane walking into the crowd, followed by Sheryl's voice.

After a short while, Shane hung up the phone.

It wasn't until then did Charlotte realize that the reason Shane didn't attend the partnership meeting today was that he was taking care of Sheryl?

He was absent because of Sheryl?

For some reason, Charlotte felt a shiver run down her spine.

Shane was already so devoted to Sheryl even before knowing that she was her daughter?

Charlotte decided to wait for Shane to come because she genuinely had no idea where she should go. After buying a cup of coffee, she just stayed in her car. In less than 20 minutes, a Maybach stopped in front of her car and honked at her.

She looked up.

Cole got out of the car to open the door of the backseat. Shane stepped out of the car with his slender and sturdy legs. His muscular and relaxed figure slowly emerged. A small and chubby girl who seemed to be asleep was lying on his shoulders.

Charlotte stared blankly at him as he walked closer and closer towards herself. It wasn't until he knocked on her glass window with his slender fingers that she came back to her senses and pressed a button to lower her window.

"Open the door."

"It's open."

Shane signaled Cole to open the door.
