The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 170

Dominic My father's home office has only ever had a picture of him but ever since Charlotte was born, he's put up a few more and just of her and her precious smile.

Each time I'm here, it's mostly business, except when I bring Charlotte over.

As he finally takes his seat on the other side of the desk, my first thought is that he wants to talk about business, as usual but with some small talk.

"How's everything at home?" He keeps a blank expression as he leans back.

"Everything's great," I reply, not expecting him to linger on this conversation, but he surprises me.

"I want to talk about Charlotte." His face brightens up a little as he looks at her picture on the left side of his table.

"She's so well spoken despite her young age.

I've spent so much time with her and I see just how good of a job you've been doing, especially you.

Vanessa has told me all about how you usually go the extra mile just for my granddaughter." I chuckle and proudly say, "I'll do anything for my princess." "I know you will.

I wanted you to earn my trust again.

That's why I've been watching you.

With everything I've observed in the past few years, I've decided to give you back what you deserve." "What?" I almost jump out of my seat but end up placing my hands on the table as I lean forward.

"You're...

giving it back to me?" "Your mother wanted me to do it last year but I thought to myself that I should wait a bit longer and you've really proven yourself to me.

I'm proud of you, son.

I forgave you a long time ago.

I just wanted to see how long you'd actually be there for your family and not once have you let them down, so here you go." He slides an envelope across the desk and after I open it to check the document, my eyes grow wider as I read through it.

"This is a list of all the shares you're giving to me and it's much more than I thought it would be! What...what about Sophie and Jake?" He gives me a half smile.

"As a family business, we've expanded even more in just three years.

That's why they also have more than enough and they were thrilled, maybe not as thrilled as you are.

I could've easily monitored you during the first few weeks of your marriage, but I didn't want to invade your privacy and I trusted you.

Just don't mess things up now.

Actually, I believe you won't." He rises to his feet and walks over to me, making me rise up and I embrace him a bit too strongly that he grunts.

"Sorry." I force a chuckle as I loosen up.

"I expected it." "Dad, thank you so much for this." He pats me on the back.
