Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 103

"Sheryl, is your mommy here?"

The teacher asked Sheryl, who was standing in a corner obediently.

"My parent will be here."

Sheryl stared at the ground. Her face was puffed up with anger, which made her look strangely adorable.

The teacher was suddenly overcome with the urge to comfort the child. But when she saw another child's parent glaring at her imposing manner, she could only hold back the words she wanted to say.

"If your family can't give me an explanation, you'd better stop coming to school!" said one of the parents, a middle-aged woman.

"Lady, it's not my fault. Your son provoked me first, so I returned the insult."

Sheryl rolled her big dark eyes, and her quirky expression could evoke one's maternal instinct. She secretly glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and muttered in her heart, 'Why hasn't daddy come yet?'

"Watch your mouth!"

The middle-aged woman sitting in the chair suddenly pointed to Sheryl and continued to shout, "If your parents don't come here today, you'd better find another kindergarten! You're already so cocky when you're young. Who knows how bad you would be when you grow up!"

"What's going on?"

As soon as Shane came to the door, he saw his pitiful daughter standing by the wall, and his heart suddenly ached.

"Daddy!"

When Sheryl saw her father coming over, she ran toward him right away.

"Hi."

Shane ruffled Sheryl's hair affectionately and smiled softly.

"You are..."

The middle- aged woman, who had been yelling, suddenly calmed down. But for the sake of her pride, she continued to say, "Are you her parent?"

"That's right."

Shane glanced at her coldly, but his eyes didn't linger on the woman in front of him.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Cole couldn't help but feel sorry for that woman... for what was about to happen to her.

"Daddy, don't listen to that lady. In fact, I didn't do this for no reason. Her son insulted my mommy and said that I didn't have daddy, so I quarreled with him."

Sheryl snuggled up against Shane's chest and pouted.

"Humph!"

When the middle-aged woman shot Sheryl a glare, she was startled by Shane's cold glance.

"You're Sheryl's dad, aren't you?"

The teacher asked Shane shyly.

"I've said that, so I won't repeat."

"Miss, he is my daddy. My mommy is married to him."

Sheryl smiled and put her arms around Shane's neck.

"But he's not your biological father. Am I wrong?" said the little boy who fought with Sheryl.

The boy, who had been nestled in the arms of his mother, suddenly stuck out his head, but quickly shrank back down.

"Mom..."

With a hint of timidity, he called out to the woman.

When the woman saw that Shane was about to leave with Sheryl in his arms, she mustered the courage and blocked the door. She said brusquely, "You can't go. This matter hasn't been resolved yet."

"Resolved?"

Shane raised his eyebrows.

"My son is the future heir of Oceania Corporation. Your daughter had said nasty things to him. What if he has psychological trauma because of that?"

The middle-aged woman was unwilling to let it go. As Cole, who had tried to diminish his sense of presence, watched the scene unfold, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is that the case? Oi, Cole."

An emotionless voice echoed in the room. Cole took a look at his president, who was on the verge of an outburst, and took out a check.

"Is five million dollars enough to resolve this matter?"

All the people present except Shane and Sheryl were shocked by Cole's words.

Shane didn't even say a word when his assistant took out a five-million-dollar check, as if he was used to doing that. This made the middle- aged woman reevaluate this situation.

"Do you think I'm doing this for money? My family is not short of money."

The woman continued to speak with pride.

She knew that if she accepted the check, she would have to leave like a loser.

"Is your family running Oceania Corporation?"
