Chapter 36 She Looked Just Like Your Daughter
"My house is small. Please find yourself a place to sit."Anyway, Raymond was a guest here, and
Bethany took the initiative to greet him."I'll go make you tea."
Raymond looked around the house. This was a very small place, where he could see all the rooms at a
glance. He turned around and met Shayla's gaze. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Shayla stared at him and asked, "Aren't you the scumbag who betrayed my mom? Why did you come
to my place with my mom?"
Raymond was dumbfounded when hearing this.
"So Shayla, you don't welcome me, do you?"Raymond asked.
"Last time I went to your company, you didn't welcome me. This is a way of treating others in their own
way."
Raymond chuckled and said, "You little girl, you know quite a lot."
Raymond looked at Shayla and felt that the little girl looked similar to himself. He suddenly recalled
what Damion had said. Damion had told that one of his classmates was named Shayla, who looked
just like his twin sister.
Raymond thought, "Is she the little girl mentioned by Damion? They look very similar."
"Shayla, do you know my son? His name is Damion."
"Are you asking me questions?" Shayla put on an evil smile."Ten dollars for one question. Cash or
online transaction is both okay."
Raymond was speechless.
"Clearly priced, fair to all, I do not force you to pay."
Shayla thought, "I mustn’t be soft-hearted to such a wealthy scumbag."
And at this moment, Damion, who had been hiding in the wardrobe, felt suffocated and thought,
"What's Daddy here for? Why hasn't he left yet?"
Raymond had to take out a 100-dollar bill from his wallet and hand it to her. Shayla quickly took it over
and put it away.
"You're quite generous. I'll give you a discount. You can ask me 11 questions."
Raymond said, "Then answer my first question first."
"I don't know him, "Shayla felt surprised."Your son must be from an aristocratic school. How could I
possibly know him?"
Raymond thought, "She doesn't know him. So the little girl Damion mentioned is not her."
Raymond looked at the kitchen again and saw Bethany hadn’t come out. He continued, "You have a
twin brother, right?"
"Yes, my brother's name is Tyrone. I told you he went out to play basketball."
"Do you have his photos? Let me take a look."
Damion’s heart seemed to block his throat and he prayed, "Don't show him the photos. Don't."
"Ten dollars for answering the question. If you want to see the photo, you will have to pay an additional
price."
Raymond was left helpless by a child for the first time. He took out his wallet again. However, before
the money was handed over to her, Bethany grabbed it.
"Shayla, you're too greedy." Bethany returned the money to Raymond and said, "Raymond, I know
you're rich and generous, but don't indulge children."
Shayla was grieved and didn't expect the money to fly away like this.
Damion felt like he was about to suffocate, so made a very small noise. Shayla reacted very quickly
and said, "Well... it's time to eat. Let's go out for dinner."
Bethany looked at the time and it was indeed time for dinner."But Tyrone has not returned yet."
"Ainsley will pick him up, Beth. Let's go. I've always wanted to have a big meal in Parkville. I haven't
eaten it yet."
She was implying that she wanted Raymond to treat her.
"Shayla, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
"As long as it's a big meal with meat."
Bethany had no choice but to obey Shayla. After the three of them left, Damion came out of the
wardrobe and let out a long breath. He was fortunate that he had not been discovered.
"Wow, Uncle Raymond, your car is so handsome!" Shayla exclaimed in the car.
"Sit quietly and speak less, " Bethany warned her.
Shayla nodded with a pout. "Okay."
Seeing Shayla become quiet, Raymond showed a doting smile and strangely found he was fond of this
little girl.
Because Shayla said she wanted to eat meat, Raymond took them to the most expensive western
restaurant in Parkville to have steak.
"We don't need to come to such an expensive place for dinner, " Bethany said.
"Beth, you don't understand that. It's particularly important for men to treat for the first time, because it's
a matter of their dignity. We need to respect Uncle Raymond."
Bethany thought, "Respect? Doesn’t she just want to eat a free meal?"
"In terms of that, your daughter is more sincere than you." Raymond picked up Shayla and brought her
into the restaurant.
Bethany complained in a low voice, "How could you say I’m not sincere? Okay, I’ll very sincerely order
the priciest dishes!"
The three of them sat down around a table by the window and quickly received a waiter.
Bethany didn't take the menu but said directly, "A foie gras with truffle sauce, 200 grams of Almas
caviar, a vegetable soup, a medium-rare A5 steak, a cup of Helena coffee, and a fruit salad. Thank
you."
Raymond was quite surprised and thought, "She lives in a slum-like place but is quite skilled at
ordering in this high-end restaurant."
When Bethany was still a noble lady, she was already tired of eating these things.
"Pretty lady, I only want meat. Just give me a dish of meat, " Shayla said to the waiter.
"Okay."
"Thank you, pretty lady, " Shayla said in a sweet voice again. The waiter put on a doting smile and then
said to Raymond, "Your daughter is really cute."
"My daughter?" Raymond was slightly surprised.
"Yes, anyone can tell at a glance that she's your daughter. We can know that without a DNA testing.
Your daughter looks just like you."
Both Raymond and Bethany were quite embarrassed. After the waiter left, Shayla said, "Look, anyone
can tell that. Beth, you were in Parkville before. You think about it. Is Uncle Raymond my biological
father?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Bethany felt more embarrassed, so she made an excuse to leave. "I’m going
to the washroom."
After Bethany left, Shayla looked at Raymond and asked, "Are you really not my father? Otherwise, it is
inexplicable that we two look so similar."
"You don't know who your father is?" Raymond was quite puzzled. Even if the man had passed away,
Raymond could tell from what happened last time that Bethany loved him, so she had no reason not to
tell the children about their father.
"I don't know, " Shayla said truthfully, "Beth said we don't have a father."
Raymond felt more puzzled. "Have no daddy? How can that be?"
