Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Selena jogged all the way into the kindergarten where the teacher and Juniper were playing with building blocks while waiting for her. “I’m sorry, Miss Monroe! I’m really sorry.” She started apologizing the moment she stepped into the room.

The teacher, on the other hand, seemed used to such a thing. “It’s okay, Miss Yard.”

“I’m really sorry to have troubled you. I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Juniper put away her things before walking over to Selena. “Mommy, I’ll just go to the washroom for a while, okay?” As she said that, she all but skipped away.

“Miss Yard, we’ll be having Family Day at the end of the month. This is the kindergarten’s monthly activity, so the school attaches great importance to it every time. It’ll be Juniper’s first time attending, so I hope you can make time for it.”

“Family Day? What’s Family Day?”

“Parents nowadays are always busy with work that they’ve got no time to accompany their children. Thus, we set up Family Day in hopes that parents will put everything aside to join and accompany their children. On that day, there’ll be competitions in which parents can participate together. Also, there’s a mystery prize! Juniper is really looking forward to it.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

However, the smile on Selena’s face froze. Juniper doesn’t have a daddy. She’ll surely be saddened to see other children attending with both their parents. Besides, other children will also know that she doesn’t have a daddy at that time. Will they ridicule her? She couldn’t help thinking about all this.

“Remember to come, Miss Yard. Put aside all your work and accompany Juniper for a day.”

At this exact moment, Juniper returned from the washroom, so they both left. Surprisingly, Juniper didn’t utter a single word about Family Day throughout the drive back. Perhaps she doesn’t want to attend as well, not wanting other children to know that she has no daddy. Thus, Selena didn’t bother keeping Family Day in mind. JNS Corporation’s headquarters had also just been relocated to Astoria, so she was swamped with work. Hence, she put this matter at the back of her mind.

Selena was having a meeting with her subordinates in the meeting room when Linda silently opened the door and walked in. Stopping before Selena, she leaned down and murmured, “Your father is here, President Yard.”

Taken aback, Selena’s expression turned forbidding. “Turn him away.”

“I’ve told him that you won’t see him, President Yard, but he’s now kicking up a fuss downstairs.”

Stilling for a moment, Selena then relented and said, “Have him wait for me in my office.” Linda nodded and left.

After wrapping up the meeting, Selena went back to her office. As soon as she stepped in the door, she saw Roland sitting on her chair as he flipped through the documents on her table, not regarding himself as an outsider in the least. “Get up. That’s my seat.” She strode in with a glacial expression on her face.

Upon hearing her voice, Roland cleared his throat. Still, he stood up from her seat. Selena then marched over and plopped right onto her chair, so he could only sit across from her.

Picking up the documents on her table, Selena started reviewing them. “Why are you here? Spit it out.”

“What kind of attitude is this?” Roland was instantly pissed off when he saw her attitude. Who has ever seen a daughter talking to her own biological father in such a manner, expression cold and

tone callous? Back during Megan’s wedding, she kicked up such a fuss that Megan is still afraid to leave the house to this day. Worse still, she made the Yard Family a laughingstock and humiliated me greatly.

In the blink of an eye, however, he put on an ingratiating expression since he was truly desperate. The Yard Family’s company had been deteriorating, and he initially wanted to have the Lake Family help them out after Megan had married Finneas. Unexpectedly, the Lakes disdained them, and he couldn’t ask for Meredith’s help either since she hadn’t yet married.
