When Shane ended the call, his lips slightly turned upward at the corners. He looked up and happened to see himself in the rearview mirror. He was stunned. Looking at the corners of his mouth, he instantly calmed his composure and started the car.

Sheryl returned the phone to Charlotte, but she didn't talk to her. Instead, she turned around and went back to the children's playground.

Charlotte couldn't help but feel helpless. She didn't know what she had done wrong to make this little fellow angry at her.

Soon, Shane arrived.

Charlotte was keeping an eye on Sheryl with her chin propped on her palms when she suddenly felt that the people around her stopped talking. There was also a familiar scent. She turned around subconsciously.

"Shane." There was a hint of frustration in her tone.

"What's wrong?" "Sheryl has been begging to see you for the entire day. I'm obviously her mother."

Shane's cold expression softened a little. He raised his slender fingers, which were hanging at his side, and waved. "Sheryl."

Sheryl, who was playing in the playground, heard his voice and immediately stopped what she was doing. She ran towards Shane and jumped into his arms. "Daddy!"

"Miss me?"

"Yes! Daddy is the best!"

Charlotte sighed and said sourly, "Sheryl, I really raised you for nothing. You're so heartless."

"What does that mean?" Sheryl asked, tilting her head.

"Forget it."

Charlotte left the pair behind and walked forward on her own.

Sheryl wrapped her arms around Shane's neck and asked cutely, "Daddy, is mommy jealous?"

"Who did you learn that from?"

"From TV series."

"Don't watch those ridiculous series."

The little fellow shrank at those words. It was rare for daddy to be so serious...

Even if Charlotte was angry, Sheryl was still the most important thing to her. That was what Shane firmly believed in.

As long as Sheryl was standing here, Charlotte could never successfully avoid him.

And as long as she didn't refuse him entirely, he still stood a chance.
