Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart

Chapter 94 The Problem of Calling

"Jane, why did you ask Frederic to start live broadcast?"

The entire process was not approved by the shareholders' meeting in advance. There was a suspicion

of leaking business secrets.

This time those people didn't look into it. Otherwise, they would be held accountable.

"Daddy, is there something wrong with how you call Mommy?"

Daddy and Mommy were talking about work. Dayton didn't understand. He was ignored.

"I had to take a risk at that time. Frederic said the shareholders won't hurt me anyway."

She would try her best to make it since the outcome was acceptable.

After resolving William's doubts, Jane held Dayton in her arms. "My baby, what's wrong with Daddy's

calling?" She asked.

William also wanted to know what the matter was.

"Ms. Lily said that the couple would call each other by 'darling'."

Dayton bit his lips. He found that Mommy always called Daddy "darling", but Daddy had never done it.

It was very strange to call someone by his or her name.

William was cornered by his son. He thought it wasn't good for Dayton to be precocious. For example,

William didn't know how to reply right now.

"Yeah, Daddy's fault."

William admitted his mistake and changed how he called Jane.

"Darling or baby, you take one."

Dayton nodded and forgave William's slip of the tongue.

William was speechless.

He wondered he could just skip the title. But now he was torn between the two choices.

Looking at Jane, William suspected that she taught Dayton this.

"Dayton, Daddy, and Mommy don't need to be addressed. There's no need for the intimate."

Jane became more embarrassed as she was exposed by Dayton. In the female lead's memories,

William never called her by darling or baby.

William was so frigid. He hated to be sappy. Even if Andrew called him by a few intimate names,

William would get annoyed.

Jane felt wronged to face William's suspicion. She didn't want to be called like that, as she was afraid

that she would feel creepy.

"But how do you know who to talk to if you don't call her?"

Dayton said seriously, "There are three people here. Daddy, Mommy, and Dayton. If you don't call each

other, I would think that Daddy is talking to me."

"Why did you skip such a simple title, Daddy?"

Dayton thought it wasn't good for Daddy to do so.

William was miffed. Had he known that Dayton was talkative, he would have gone to sleep in the living

room.

He took a deep breath and told himself that Dayton was his baby son.

But he did want to slap on Dayton's butt.

"Darling."

If he must choose, he would never call Jane "baby".

William took great efforts to squeeze out that word. But he didn't even look at Jane. He was just like NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

reading the script.

"Darling."

Jane replied with the same word. She felt no pressure, except the wooden fake smile.

Dayton did not find their embarrassment. He lay between and looked at them. He finally fell asleep

after an hour.

Then William gave a long sigh.

Just now he was even more nervous than that he couldn't attend the shareholders' meeting. But he

didn't speak out.

"Darling, you don't fall asleep, do you?"

William was very dominating. Even on the side of the bed, Jane could feel his breath with the aura of

mint.

"No."

William pillowed his head on his hands. His voice was low and sluggish, "Jane, you've changed a lot."

Dayton was asleep. William could call her whatever he wanted.

Indeed, Jane felt more at ease that way.

Jane had thought about the answer many times. She had been waiting for William's question.

"At some moment, one would be keenly aware. If life is about to end, what does he or she want?"

It was not money, wealth, status, cute babies, clothes, or shoes. It was a romantic relationship one

wanted.

One would have an unforgettable romance in his or her entire life.

"I have my husband, my son, and my grandfather. They are all very kind to me. I quite cherish that. I'm

luckier than most people, though I lack the love of my parents."

Jane spoke out her mind.

Perhaps everything was predestined. But she just didn't want to regret it.

"So, did you fall in love with me?"

William wasn't mocking. He was just kind of joking.

Jane was lost for word. She just wanted to skip this part.

She said nothing, and silence came again.

William curled his lips and denied his disappointment. He knew that Jane was lying, but he still felt

upset about that.

"We don't get on too long. I don't know whether it's love. But we're family, aren't we?"

Suddenly, it turned cold. Jane held her arms and replied thoughtfully.

They didn't meet much over the past six years. How could love exist?

The female lead rarely interacted with William. She wasn't as talkative as Jane.

"That's right. We're family. It can't be changed."

William agreed that Jane would be Dayton's mother even if they divorced someday.

Maybe he should trust Jane more.

"Darling is just a title in our relationship. There's no connotation. So, could you care more about my

feelings outside?"

There had been rumors that William disliked Jane and he had an affair. Every time she showed up,

people would sympathize with her.

"Fine, darling."

This was the first time that their conversation was so relaxing. William found that it wasn't hard to

change the title.

"There was no news from Andrew for a few years. Why did he come back this time?"

Jane was certain that Andrew wasn't here to take over the family business. Nor was he to get hitched.

"Because of some stuff. I'm not sure yet."

William turned on the light and asked, "Would you mind if I smoke?"

It was his habit to smoke while thinking for many years.

"No. But Dayton is asleep. It's bad for his health."

There was nicotine in cigarettes, which was harmful to humans and would be adsorbed on clothes.

William was addicted to smoking.

"This is a cigarette made of mint leaves. No nicotine."

William explained that he had to keep focus, as a wrong decision could throw the Duncan Group into a

mess. So, he relied on mint cigarettes to remain refresh.

Right now, he was very sober and just wanted to think about something.
