Chapter 291
Christie was befuddled.
Before coming here, she had read up everything on Harold, and she knew for a fact that he was a married man.
Of course, the information that they had found out was only more recent information about him.
They couldn't get any information about Harold from five years ago.
It was as if the man had appeared in Dellmoor out of nowhere five years ago, and there was no trace of him whatsoever before that.
Then, there was the abrupt rise of Craig and James.
Both of them had only used a few years' time to catch up to Philip, who had been working in Dellmoor for years.
Harold did not answer Christie, nor did he reply to Isabella.
Although he was frustrated at the turn of events, he tried to put it all behind him and continued to work. However, his WhatsApp pinged with a notification again.
He thought that Isabella had texted him again and immediately took out his phone.
However, it was a message from Wrenna that read: Char says she misses you. Why don't you accompany her for dinner tonight?
Harold hesitated for a moment before replying to her: All right. I'll wait for you in the parking lot after work.
A day went by just like that.
It was only the first day. Fearing that Harold might get irritated, Christie dared not be too aggressive and headed home right after work.
Meanwhile, Harold chauffeured Wrenna back to her place.
“Daddy, why didn't you come to see me for such a long time?” asked Charlotte in a choking voice.
She threw herself at Harold right after he stepped into the house.
Harold had never been a father. He did not know how to comfort Charlotte.
In a bind, he looked to Wrenna for help.
“Char, your daddy is busy with work. It's good enough that he can visit you now. Don't ask for too much, okay? I'm already so worried about my husband,” Wrenna said in an attempt to help him out. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Wrenna was stunned when she heard herself calling Harold her husband. She had said that without giving it another thought, and there was no way she could retract what she had said now.
Realizing her blunder, Wrenna cast Harold a sheepish glance.
However, when she thought about how youngsters nowadays would start calling their partners “Wifey” or “Hubby” once they started dating and how she had, in fact, slept with Harold, she didn't think it was out of place for her to call Harold her husband.
“Daddy, don't get angry. I'm sorry. I will earn a lot of money after I've grown up. That way, you don't need to be so tired from working!” Charlotte said innocently.
She immediately stopped looking at Harold with teary eyes.
Harold was taken aback to see how fast the little girl could snap out of it.
She's so talented. I've got to cultivate her talent. Who knows? She might get nominated for the Best Actress award one day.
“All right. I'm going to wait for you to grow up and take care of me instead.”
Harold hugged Charlotte and carried her to the living room to watch cartoons together.
A warm smile spread across Wrenna's face as she looked at the pair interacting with each other.
She put on her apron and went to the kitchen to start preparing food for them with the housekeeper.
Soon, it was dinner time.
Even the housekeeper, Francesca, smiled as she looked at them.
After dinner, Harold guided Charlotte with her homework while Wrenna helped Francesca with the dishes.
