Chapter 271 Meeting My Daughter on Her Birthday
When he spotted me, he got excited as if he had just won the lottery.
“Chloe, what a coincidence! You’re here early, too? We were planning to go together. I wanted to see our
daughter as soon as possible!” He stepped out of his car and briskly walked toward me
I put some distance between us. I wasn’t keen on our daughter going out to dinner with him.
Firstly, I didn’t trust him at all. It also felt like a stab in the heart.
I quickly dialed my mother’s number, fearing she might run into Matthew. I didn’t want her to feel upset. Only then did I welcome our daughter out. Upon seeing Matthew, Ava hesitated for a moment.
She instinctively looked up at me, and I understood her feelings. This child had learned to read the room. Matthew, on the other hand, seemed natural. “Hey there, princess! Did you miss Daddy? Let me have a
look!”
Ava didn’t move, keeping her gaze on me.
*Say something, honey. Your dad wants you to join him for dinner. He was busy yesterday, so today, he’s making it up to you for your birthday. Will you go?” I looked at her, conveying Matthew’s intention. “Will you come too?” Ava glanced at me, asking cautiously.
That question was quite challenging for me. Honestly, I didn’t want to go. I had very little tolerance for
Matthew.
“Of course, your mom will come! Come on, let me hug you!” Matthew crouched down, opening his arms
to Ava.
She hesitated for a moment, but I gently nudged her.
Perhaps encouraged by my support, Ava finally flung herself into Matthew’s arms.
He scooped her up and kissed her little face. She instantly burst into a joyful smile. She wrapped her tiny
arms around Matthew’s neck, saying, “Daddy!”
sighed inwardly. Regardless of how I felt, he was her father.
Did you miss Daddy? I missed you so much! I was busy so I couldn’t visit you. Are you mad at me?”
Matthew cooed, trying to soothe the little one with his words
Though I didn’t like it, I couldn’t argue right now. After all, children needed this kind of comfort.
I nodded solemnly. “Of course I am. The building materials market needs a capable manager. If you decide to come, I’ll entrust it to you. If your year-end performance is acceptable, I can even give your shares. We can discuss your salary, but I’ll offer you the standard in Foswood.”
I offered an olive branch without hesitation.
Eleanor beamed with gratitude as she nodded. “I’ll consider it when I get home and call you when I
decide.”
“I’ll be waiting for the good news!”
I didn’t return to the company after saying goodbye to Eleanor. Instead, I went to pick up Ava. Sitting in the car, I couldn’t help but feel Eleanor would be a perfect fit. She would have security while I can allow Grayson to assist Ryan.
After all, we only needed to manage Tanum Corporation and Hartz Construction. Since I had yet to introduce Hartz Construction to the world, Grayson would be perfect to care for it. Still, I had to await Eleanor’s decision since she had emotional attachments.
I began feeling tired after sitting in the car for a while. So, I exited the car and stretched before walking toward the kindergarten. Unexpectedly, Matthew’s car stopped beside me. Chapter 271 Meeting My Daughter on Her Birthday
