Chapter 349


    The ringtone was Teresa’s favorite luby, but at this moment, it sounded more terrifying than any


    horror movie score.


    “What do I do now? I told her I was going to Taekwondo ss! She definitely wants me to hand the


    phone to the coach! Who can pretend to be the coach for me?”


    Teresa was on the verge of tears, holding her phone as if it was a hot potato.


    She turned to look at Hayes.


    No way, he was a little mute, he wouldn’t be able to pretend.


    Teresa’s eyes then met with Chuck’s, who flinched as if burnt by her gaze, “No can do! Marguerite


    would recognize my voice right away!”


    Chuck then turned his attention to Frederick, “Mr. Winston! Mr. Winston, maybe you should take the


    call!” Mr. Winston was always cunning, a true wolf in sheep’s clothing! He could lie without batting an


    eye, he was the perfect candidate!


    Without hesitation, Frederick took the phone from Teresa, ready to answer the call, but the little one


    snatched it right back, “Daddy, no! Mommy knows your voice! You can’t fool


    her!”


    Daddy? This sudden address made Frederick’s heart skip a beat, stirring something deep within him. A


    strange sense of… happiness?


    His gaze was fixed on the little girl, who was still busy with the phone call. She leaned forward in her


    seat, handing the phone to the driver.


    “Sir, can you take the call? Mommy definitely won’t recognize your voice!”


    The driver didn’t immediately take the phone, instead, he looked at Frederick through the rear–view


    mirror, seemingly waiting for hismand.


    Frederick nced at Teresa’s phone and told the driver, “Answer it.”


    Upon hearing this, the driver respectfully took the phone, cleared his throat, and adopted a deep voice,


    “Hello, this is Teresa’s Taekwondo instructor. Yes… okay… understood…”


    The matter was smoothly handled, and the driver ended the call. Teresa let out a sigh of relief. She


    slumped back into her seat, patting her chest, “Thank God, that was a close one!”


    But just as one wave settled, another rose. Frederick wasn’t about to let the little one off the hook.


    “What did you just call me?”


    Teresa stiffened, straightening her back.


    14:56


    Oh no! Did she just call him daddy in her panic?


    Teresa couldn’t help but reach for the paternity test in her pocket. She wanted to show it to him as proof


    that she didn’t call him by the wrong name!


    However, seeing Hayes out of the corner of her eye, she didn’t want to hurt him, so she swallowed her


    words. She looked at Frederick with an innocent face, her eyes brimming with naivety, “I meant to call


    you Hayes‘ daddy, but I was so panicked, I slipped up.”


    Frederick’s gaze was unyielding, he asked again, “Do you know the rtionship between Marguerite


    and I?”


    Oh no! Daddy sure has a lot of questions!


    Marguerite did mention that she dated him, but how could she admit it now?

    If she did, Hayes would surely overthink!


    Teresa shook her head vigorously, acting cute, “Nope!”


    “Why did you say she would recognize my voice?”


    Teresa was speechless this time.


    Was daddy a walking encyclopedia of questions? Why was he always asking ‘why‘?


    Chuck also watched with a gossiping look, and Hayes was also curious.


    Teresa looked at Hayes, then at Chuck, deciding that this secret couldn’t be known by


    everyone.


    So, the little one half–kneeled on the seat, her small hands resting on Frederick’s broad shoulders, she


    whispered into his ear.


    “Hayes‘ daddy, I saw you kissing my mommy the other day. You bit her lips until they bled…”
