Dauntless God Of War

Chapter 217

That turn of events had the young man at the side wholly floored. That turn of events had the young man at the side wholly floored.

“What's going on here, Wrenna?”

Before Harold could comfort Charlotte, the young man had already started interrogating Wrenna.

“That's none of your business! Why are you asking so many questions? Get out of here!”

While saying that, Wrenna pushed the young man out the door.

“Let me tell you this, Wrenna. Adam has been released. He asked me to come over and bring you and Char back. How dare you find yourself another man out there? Are you intent on destroying us all?” the scarred young man snarled with fury etched across his features while glowering at Harold and Wrenna.

As soon as Wrenna heard that, her expression changed. “I don't need you poking your nose into my affairs. Hurry up and scram!”

She immediately shoved him out of the house and slammed the door shut.

“Why did you kick Uncle Justin out, Mommy?”

Poking her head out of Harold's arms, Charlotte put that question forth as she gazed at her mother with puzzlement written all over her face.

“Don't ask so many questions when you're just a kid. It's your daddy's first time home, so give him a tour of our house. I'm going to help Mdm. Fawkes with the cooking!”

After saying that, Wrenna went into the kitchen with the groceries in hand.

“Sure thing! Quick, come with me, Daddy! I've got loads of dolls! I've even got Super Wings!”

At the mention of giving her “daddy” a tour, Charlotte promptly forgot all about her uncle. She first dragged Harold to the room she shared with her mother.

Harold was also incredibly patient. In no time, laughter drifted out of Charlotte's room.

When Wrenna heard that as she carried the food out of the kitchen, her expression turned conflicted.

“Come out and eat!”

Only after she had hollered aloud did the two come out of the room happily.

To Harold's surprise, the usually cold and indifferent Wrenna allowed the housekeeper, Francesca, to sit and dine with them.

This doesn't quite fit her cold-blooded personality!

Because of the return of her “daddy,” Charlotte relished the food greatly, eating an entire bowl of pasta.

At the sight of her daughter eating so heartily, Wrenna finally had a smile on her face.

After dinner, Charlotte continued clinging to her “daddy,” Harold.

“Char, your daddy is exhausted from working all day, so he can't play with you for too long. Quick, go brush your teeth before going to bed!”

Seeing that it was already nine o'clock at night and the two of them had spent more than an hour together, Wrenna urged her daughter to go to sleep.

“Sure thing! Quick, come with me, Daddy! I've got loads of dolls! I've even got Super Wings!”

“Okay, Mommy. But I want both you and daddy to sleep with me!” Charlotte whined reluctantly upon hearing her mother's words, glancing at Harold, her so-called “daddy.”

Her request had both Wrenna and Harold feeling awkward in a flash.

“Char, your daddy is really tired from work, so don't pester him, okay?” Wrenna coaxed with a flaming face after pondering for a while.

Harold, on the other hand, had never expected a time when the woman would be embarrassed and blush when she was such a detached individual.

However, Charlotte didn't listen to her mother this time. In fact, she even refused to brush her teeth.

“No, no way! Other kids have their daddies telling them bedtime stories every day, but not me. I just want to sleep with you and Daddy...” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Wrenna was all flustered as her daughter started throwing a tantrum.

Twenty minutes later, Charlotte slept in the middle of the big bed in Wrenna's room while Wrenna and Harold slept on either side of her.

Despite having her daughter acting as a barrier, Wrenna still wore an embarrassed expression on her face.

Fortunately, she noticed that Harold had his attention on telling Charlotte a bedtime story and wasn't paying her any mind. That had her feeling much more at ease.
