Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 68: I Came to Pick Up Bea from School
In the R&D department, Elara Don gave Ethan Lane a grateful smile.
"Director Lane, thank you for your help earlier."
If it hadn’t been for him filming a video earlier today, she would have been stuck with no way to explain herself.
"It was nothing."
Ethan waved his hand, "Charlotte, I’ve heard that Mr. Hawke was brought up by Miss Hawthorne herself, which makes her quite controlling. There was once a female employee who had ideas about Mr. Hawke and was also driven out by Miss Hawthorne. All the old employees know this, so don’t take it to heart today. Moreover, Mr. Hawke has already demoted Sophie Harper, so that’s his way of giving you an explanation."
Vinny Hawke tends to be quite domineering.
So when Sophie Harper accused Elara Don of stealing Vinny Hawke’s necklace, he foresaw trouble.
That’s why he instinctively picked up his phone and recorded the scene.
Because he knew there was no way Elara Don would steal Vinny Hawke’s necklace.
Vinny Hawke was intimidating Elara Don.
And his actions just now probably earned him some points with her.
Hearing Ethan’s reassurance, Elara Don smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Director Lane, I didn’t take this to heart, nor do I want to. I’m here for work and just want to get the perfume developed quickly."
Once the work was done, she’d apply for a transfer!
"There will be a new person reporting tomorrow, so you can relax a bit."
Ethan paused, looking at Elara Don’s delicate face, and took a deep breath, "Charlotte, don’t listen to what people say. In my heart, you’re a really good girl. Actually, I..."
"Director Lane, I must go pick up my son now. My boyfriend should be back from his trip too, so I’ll take my leave first."
Elara Don cut off Ethan’s words, gathered her belongings, nodded slightly at Ethan, and quickly left.
She had an inkling of what Ethan was about to say.
But she didn’t want to give anyone a chance!
Watching Elara Don’s retreating figure, Ethan was stunned.
Elara Don has a boyfriend?
And even has a son?
So she’s not single!
What a disappointment!
At the kindergarten gate.
Elara Don got out of the car and stood by the roadside waiting for the kids to be dismissed.
All around were parents also waiting for their children.
The chatter was lively, full of the essence of life.
Elara Don curled her lips into a smile and saw Kiki’s mom nodding at her. She was about to go over and greet her when Evan Miles’ voice called her name.
"Elly."
Elara Don paused, seeing Evan Miles get out of his car, and walked over to him with a smile.
"Evan, did you pick up Tilly already?"
Claire Grant’s preschool finished earlier than kindergarten, so he should have left already. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Was he waiting for her?
Was he really planning on picking Bea up every day?
"Mommy."
Claire Grant opened the car door, reaching out for a hug from Elara Don.
Elara Don’s heart softened, and she picked up her little body, pinching her small nose, "Tilly, sweet baby, you should call me godmother from now on."
Calling her "Mommy" could easily be misunderstood.
"Isn’t Mommy the same as godmother?"
The little one’s voice was tender and a bit puzzled.
"It’s different, come on, call me godmother."
Elara Don didn’t know how else to explain, so she just smiled and coaxed the little one to call her godmother.
Evan Miles’ smile subsided a bit, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Is it necessary to do this?
Was she intentionally drawing a line between them?
"Elly, the child is still young, there’s no need to correct her title."
"But it’s necessary, I wouldn’t want to be seen as a thorn in the flesh by the future sister-in-law."
Elara Don replied cheerfully, then continued, "Evan, you just returned, you must have a lot going on. There’s really no need to specifically pick up and drop off Bea. If I need anything, I’ll let you know in advance."
The woman’s expression was composed yet firm, making Evan Miles a bit irritable.
"Elly, do you really have to draw a line between us like this? Didn’t we agree that we’re friends?"
Is he angry?
Elara Don pressed her lips together, "Evan, I didn’t mean anything else, it’s just..."
"Charlotte."
A man’s low voice came from behind.
Elara Don turned to see Damon Hawke, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, striding toward her with long legs.
His tall figure looked especially imposing under the sunlight, stunning everyone around him as he passed by.
So handsome!
No!
That’s not the point!
What was he doing here?
Elara Don stared blankly as the dignified man stopped in front of her and asked, "Mr. Hawke, you are..."
"I came to pick up Bea from school."
Elara Don: "..."
He came to pick Bea from school?
He even knew her son’s nickname!
Why!
"Mr. Hawke, what are you playing at now?"
Isn’t the drama at the office enough?
Wasn’t she clear enough?
Could he stay away from her?
"I’m a grown man, I don’t like playing games."
Damon Hawke looked at Elara Don’s pretty face, "Charlotte, I’m serious, serious about pursuing you. So, I intend to take you and Bea under my wing."
The man’s flawless face and serious expression were captivating.
Elara Don held the little one tightly, momentarily speechless.
Claire Grant looked around, then turned to her dad, "Daddy, is the handsome uncle going to take Mommy away? We should take Mommy home quickly!"
Elara Don: "..."
Little sweetie, could you not stir up trouble right now?
"Tilly, remember, call her godmother."
"But Mommy is godmother, and godmother is Mommy."
"..."
Is this really Evan Miles’ daughter?
Did Evan Miles use his daughter to get close to Elara Don?
Damon Hawke gave Evan Miles an intriguing look.
"Mr. Miles, since you’re back, your time is precious. There’s no need to trouble you with picking up and dropping off Bea. If you have time, you could complete the previous contracts at Hawke Corporation, but of course, you could continue the daily pick-up for Bea."
On the surface, the words seemed ordinary.
But Evan Miles detected the underlying threat.
Damon Hawke was pressuring him to make a choice.
If he kept clinging to Elara Don, the collaboration between the two families would end!
Such incessant dominance!
"Mr. Hawke, business is business; how can you, as the company head, mix personal matters with business?"
Evan Miles spoke in frustration, while Damon Hawke laughed arrogantly.
"Mr. Miles, I heard that the second house of the Miles family is making moves! I also wonder if perhaps due to your youth, you’re unable to distinguish priorities, making it hard for you to manage the Grant Family’s affairs with authority! Perhaps, I should consider collaborating with the second elder from the family?"
Another blatant threat!
Damon Hawke surely knows where to strike!
Evan Miles’s face changed color, eyes filled with restrained anger.
Holding the little one, Elara Don listened to their conversation, hesitating to speak.
Damon Hawke was pressuring Evan Miles.
Wanting him to stay away from her!
As if she belonged to him!
She wanted to lash out at him because he had no right to do this!
But in the end, she swallowed her words.
This might be better, using Damon Hawke to make Evan give up on her.
Cutting ties cleanly!
