Chapter 158
Sheryl did not even have to think about it. "Daddy! Daddy is a superhero!"
Shane was extremely satisfied and his eyes smiled in satisfaction.
In the past.
He always thought that this kind of comparison was childish, but now he felt that the first person to come up with comparisons must have been a father.
Only a father would care if he was the most important person in his daughter's eyes.
Since she hadn't been to the old mansion in a long time, Sheryl was very excited to return. She was jumping about like a bunny.
Mrs. Fuller Senior was resting in the old mansion. When she saw Sheryl, she stood up immediately and gave her all the toys that she had prepared.
She had nothing to do these days, so she kept getting toys for the little girl. She kept hoping that she could get Sheryl to come and see her.
Raina didn't say anything when she saw this. As long as Shane didn't bring Tiffany to this house, it didn't matter if Sheryl came here. Shane and Charlotte divorced anyway. Raina didn't bother with a child.
"Great-grandma, I miss you so much." Sheryl was lying against the old lady's lap with a pitiful look.
"If you miss me, get your mother to bring you here to see me. Come on, is she's so busy that she doesn't even have time to take care of you?"
"Grandma, Charlotte is currently the CEO of the Jane Corporation's Asia Pacific Region," Shane explained.
Mrs. Fuller Senior was stunned. "Are you talking about Lottie?"
Shane nodded. "She said she's Rick's fiancee."
Mrs. Fuller Senior was shocked at first, but when she heard this, she sneered and said, "You let go of such an extraordinary woman. You should be crying."
"Grandma." Shane felt quite helpless.
"Humph." Mrs. Fuller Senior got up and pulled Sheryl up too. "Think about it carefully," she said.
Shane watched them both go upstairs.
Raina walked over and said, "Shane, did you talk to Charlotte about Sheryl being here?"
"No, I haven't." "Call her and get her to pick Sheryl up. Don't send her back yourself," Raina said before leaving. After taking two steps, she stopped in her tracks. "I just think that Tiffany shouldn't have used the past to threaten you. But I don't approve of what Charlotte did."
Raina also returned to her room, leaving Shane alone in the living room.
He took out his phone. The words that Charlotte said a few days ago echoed in his mind.
She didn't have any feelings for him.
It wasn't that she couldn't like him. She had chosen not to feel anything for him.
She had chosen not to feel anything for him.
She had made it so clear. How could he try to win her back?
It wasn't like he had Stockholm Syndrome.
At that moment, his cell phone rang. Shane frowned and picked up the phone. He said in an unfriendly tone, "Speak."
"Um, is Sheryl with you? If it's convenient, I'll come over and pick her up." Charlotte was scared by his tone, so her voice was softer and gentler.
"Charlotte is calling?" he wondered
"She's at the old mansion. Are you sure you want to come here?"
"It's on the way. I'll be there in about ten minutes."
"It's up to you."
Their conversation was over.
Shane planned to sit down in the living room until she came, but he was surprised to see a brooch on the floor.
He picked it up. This was the exact brooch he had handed to Rick to pass to Anne.
It seemed that Rick had come up with a plan and used it to get on Sheryl's good side.
He frowned.
A moment later, Charlotte rushed to the old mansion with some health supplements in her hands. She panted as she entered the living room and put down the items in her hands.
Sheryl, who was playing on the second floor, heard the sound and ran downstairs.
Mrs. Fuller Senior also walked downstairs slowly.
"Mommy!" Sheryl threw herself into Charlotte's arms. "I'm so happy today, hehe."
"I only found out that Mrs. Fuller Senior was in town when I was on my way here, so I got my friend to get some calcium powder. It should be good for Mrs. Fuller Senior." Charlotte explained as she held the little girl in her arms.
"Shane, shouldn't you thank her?" Mrs. Fuller Senior snorted coldly.
Shane stood up, walked up to Charlotte, and handed the brooch to her. "Did you buy this for Sheryl?"
Charlotte laughed and shook her head. "No, Anne said that she bought it online. I don't think this is a cheap knock-off. I told her off too. Even if she wanted to make Sheryl happy, she shouldn't have done it that way. Kids shouldn't have expensive things."
Anne?
So Rick had given it to Anne, and then gotten Anne to find a way to give it to Charlotte or Sheryl?
"Interesting. Rick is more interesting than I thought," he thought.
Sheryl put the brooch back on her clothes. She raised her small face and said, "Mommy, can you bring me here more often? I love Great-grandma!" "You can ask Sh..." Charlotte wasn't sure how to address Shane now.
"Aw. Can't you bring me here, Mommy? Why does it have to be Daddy?"
Charlotte patted Sheryl's head.
There was really no way to explain it to her clearly.
"It's so late already. You should stay the night since you're already here," Mrs. Fuller Senior took the chance to say.
"Sure!" Sheryl agreed readily.
"Do you want to stay here?" Charlotte picked up the little girl.
"Yes, I want to!"
"You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow."
Sheryl felt put out.
Charlotte kissed Sheryl's cheek and said, "There's still a chance next time."
"It's not safe to go out so late at night." Mrs. Fuller Senior tried.
"Grandma..." Charlotte felt helpless.
"It just so happens that I still have something to talk to you about."
Charlotte froze for a moment before she subconsciously looked at Shane.
Hadn't they already gotten a divorce? Didn't Shane tell his grandmother about it?
Shane gently rubbed his temples with his long fingers. "Grandma, Lottie and I have divorced."
"Can't I talk to her if you've gotten a divorce?" Mrs. Fuller Senior was about to lose her temper.
"Er, Yes, sure." Charlotte immediately said, "I'd love to chat with you."
Mrs. Fuller Senior suddenly laughed. "Lottie is so sensible. Come on, I will tell you about Shane's childhood..."
Sheryl blinked her eyes and said, "Daddy, so can I sleepover here?"
"If you go to sleep now, then yes."
"Then I'll go. Can I sleep in the same room as before?"
Shane nodded.
Sheryl immediately ran upstairs.
Charlotte followed Mrs. Fuller Senior all the way to the solarium.
It was night, and there was no sun, but the bright moon was in the sky. The clouds were spread out evenly in the sky, and the stars were shining like diamonds.
"Shane has always been very contradictory. Don't use it against him."
"He must have had a reason for what happened with Tiffany."
Charlotte lowered her eyes and smiled. "Grandma, I'll bring Sheryl to see you more."
"I can tell that Shane really cares for you. If you talk to him, maybe he'll understand. I really like you too." Mrs. Fuller Senior still wanted to persuade Charlotte to stay.
It was rare for her to meet a young person that she liked. It didn't even matter to her whether Sheryl was, even if she was not Shane's child.
Charlotte sighed, "Grandma, if I were someone else, I would definitely be very happy to hear you say this. However, I still have a lot of things to consider."
"What are you worried about? Tell me, and I can help you to solve it." Mrs. Fuller Senior smiled.
"Shane's feelings," Charlotte understood and said, "Of course I can try to persuade him and he would get back together with me because he feels guilty. But is that fair to him?"
Mrs. Fuller Senior had been smiling, her eyes gentle, but now they widened.
It was partially because of what Charlotte said.
And partially because...
Shane was leaning against the door, holding his arms and looking at the two of them calmly.
"She was doing Shane a favor by not talking things out with him?" Mrs. Fuller Senior wondered.
"Grandma, do you think Shane would be willing to marry a woman he doesn't like and have her tie him down for the rest of his life?" As she spoke, Charlotte stood up and looked up at the starry sky. "There are so many stars, but they all surround the one moon. Isn't he just like the moon?"
An extraordinary person like him shouldn't be tied down. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Therefore, even though she was the one who had been abandoned, she had no complaints.
There would be heartache and sadness, but there would be no hatred.
"Lottie, do you really think that?" Mrs. Fuller Senior looked at Shane, who was still standing at the door, and an idea came into her mind. She smiled slyly.
"Yes, that's right."
"But what if I said that Shane has fallen in love with you, what would you do then?"
