“No... I’ve stopped using that phone number. Here, you should have my new one,” explained Chris.

As he was saying that, he passed his phone to Charlotte after unlocking it...

“Why did you change your phone number?” asked Charlotte. “Oh, I know... I bet a lot of girls must’ve had your old number,” she added.

“Hey, the past is in the past. I’m a different man now. I’ll only be yours in the future!” Chris promised solemnly.

“Hah! Only a fool would believe you.” Charlotte feigned a smile.

“I swear!” Chris raised his hand. “From now on, if I’m ever seen fooling around with other girls, then I shall be forever cursed with erectile dysfunction.”

“Don’t give me that bullsh*t!” said Charlotte. Seeing Chris being so sincere and honest, Charlotte finally budged and dropped the subject. Hmm, what should I set his name as in my contacts, though?

Chris took a glance at her and knew exactly what she was thinking about. Hence, he frivolously said, “Just put my name as the child’s father.”

A trickle of sweat was flowing down Charlotte’s forehead the moment she heard that. “You like kids?” asked Charlotte anxiously.

“I’ll love them as long as you’re their mother. I’ve got a suggestion... Why don’t we start making one tonight?” Chris grabbed her hand tightly.


“Stop fooling around! I have things to do at home.” Charlotte withdrew her hand and was quite flustered.

“Aww... Then how about we pick this up tomo-”

“Bye! Drive safe.”

Charlotte was still preoccupied with Ellie’s illness, so she wasn’t in the mood for a lovers squabble.

That being said, she was touched by the fact that the attractive Chris really liked kids.

This was because her kids, who just went through a lot today, would always nag on and on about meeting their father. Should I let them meet Chris? Will I ruin it in the future if I do?

“Just stop the car here. I’ll go up by myself,” said Charlotte after arriving at her block.

“I’ll walk you...” Chris was getting ready to unfasten his seatbelt.

“Nah, it’s ok.” Charlotte opened the car door and rushed to her apartment.

However, Chris still made sure that she made it inside before he drove off.

As he was making a U-turn, he realized that Charlotte’s purse was still in the car. After making the turn, he parked the car by the roadside and took out his phone to call her.

Before he could make the call, he saw Charlotte carrying a young girl while running out. Behind them was a plump woman trudging behind, doing her best to keep up with them.

Three of them went in a cab and sped off in the opposite direction...

Chris was stunned. As he watched the cab drift away, his mind was flooded with a plethora of questions.

However, he was still able to keep his sangfroid when he tried to access the situation calmly. Curious, he opened Charlotte’s purse, and her black wallet caught his attention. Chris opened the wallet and saw a family photo being kept in it.

In the photo, Charlotte and the plump woman he saw earlier were sitting beside each other. In their arms were three babies while a green parrot was standing on top of Charlotte’s head. Six of them, yes, including the parrot, were beaming with smiles, and they looked really happy.
