Sheryl wasn't fat, but because she didn't really like doing exercise, her body didn't have any muscles. It was all fat. In this case, if she was allowed to eat anything she wanted, she would become fat. That was why Charlotte was strict with Sheryl's diet.
If you were fat as a kid, it would be hard to slim down after you grow up.
"Daddy, I want to eat cake, but Mommy says I'm fat." Sheryl turned around and whined to Shane.
"Charlotte, can't you afford to buy a cake?" Shane raised his head to look at Charlotte.
"Don't spoil her. Sheryl doesn't exercise. If she has dessert before dinner, she will definitely become a big fatty in the future," Charlotte complained relentlessly.
"I can take care of her."
"Sure you can do that, but what if you die?" Charlotte would not be talked down.
Shane frowned. "That's unreasonable."
Charlotte snorted coldly. "If you think it's unreasonable, I can take my daughter away. Anyway, I don't want to stay with you. You only want to spoil her. It'll be too late once she becomes a fatty who gets winded going up and down the stairs."
It was proven that it was useless to argue with women. It was also pointless to debate with them about their children's eating habits.
Right then, Shane was really worried that Charlotte would leave without a word. Then, she would be taken away by some undeserving man.
Sheryl was unhappy. She poked at her food without any intention of eating it at all. Shane tried to feed Sheryl several times but was stopped by Charlotte.
After all, Sheryl was a child. No matter how angry she was with her parents, she would not let herself go hungry. In the end, she obediently finished her meal.
After dinner, Sheryl lay on the sofa unhappily.
After she washed the dishes, Charlotte entered the room.
"Here."
Shane took some cake from the refrigerator and gave it to Sheryl.
He did not open the packaging.
Sheryl looked at it and shook her head. "Tomorrow, Mommy will scold me."
"Then let her scold me." "I don't want Daddy to have a bad relationship with Mommy. I can eat the cake tomorrow morning," Sheryl said in a childish voice and reached out to hug Shane. "I know Mommy is doing this for my own good, but I'm not fat, right?"
The reason why Sheryl was angry was not because of the cake, but because Charlotte had said that she was fat.
Shane couldn't help laughing, "Of course, Sheryl is the most beautiful angel."
Sheryl jumped happily in his embrace. Soon, she was tired. She made her way out of his grasp and rubbed her sweat-covered forehead. "Daddy, I'm going to take a bath and go to sleep."
"Can you manage it alone?"
"Of course, I was alone when you two were not at home." Sheryl smiled. "I'm going to my room."
Shane nodded.
As he watched Sheryl walk into her room like a penguin, Shane's heart suddenly felt bitter. This was his daughter, and the place where his daughter and Charlotte was was home.
Home.
He actually had a home.
When Shane came to his senses, he rubbed his forehead with his long fingers before pushing open the door of the bedroom.
Charlotte was lying on the bed and using her laptop. She was wearing pink rabbit pajamas with a hood that had rabbit ears, which made her look somewhat cute.
"Sheryl said she wants to eat the cake tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow morning is fine, but I still need to get her to eat some fruits." Charlotte didn't even raise her head to answer.
"What are you busy with?"
"The shipping routes. I'm going to do the final verification. The meeting will be held in three days, the project will be discussed in two days, and the tasks will be assigned tomorrow when I get to the office," Charlotte said as she took in a deep breath. "I can finally understand how tired you were."
Shane sat down beside her and closed the laptop.
Charlotte became anxious, "What are you doing? I have to finish this today."
"It's half-past ten. You go to sleep first. I'll take care of it."
"There's no need." Charlotte yawned and snatched the computer back. "I can't rely on you for the rest of my life, can I?"
"You don't want to rely on me?"
Shane's expression darkened.
Charlotte was not scared by his cold expression. Instead, she laughed, "Please, don't put on a cold look just because you're unhappy. It's not that I don't want to rely on you. It's just that I want to complete the work based on the foundation you created."
"You have done very well."
"I can do better."
Shane's eyes darkened. He turned his head to grab her lower jaw and kissed her on the lips.
His flexible tongue pried open her white teeth and pulled her soft tongue to his domain. While entangled, he put his long arms around her and held her in his arms.
Charlotte's eyes were closed, and her face was red.
