“It’s work-related.” Drake finished his sentence and hung up the call before Nicole could do so.




Meanwhile, Nicole had no choice but to make her way to the president’s office. Upon knocking on the door and entering the office, she was greeted by the sight of the man who was wearing a white shirt. There was an attractive look in his eyes which seemed like they were trying to charm her. She walked closer and asked, “What are your orders, President Butler?”




Drake looked at the woman calmly. “Are you confident with your design in the jewelry fair this time? Do you think you’d be able to win the prize?”




“Of course, I’m confident.” No op curled her lips and smiled.




“I’ve raised the prize from 100,000 to a million, so if you can win the prize, the money will be all yours.” Drake sluggishly lay back in his chair, his eyes lighting up like a charming womanizer.




In the meantime, she couldn’t help but think about his alternative careers if he wasn’t a businessman. He could even be a superstar in the entertainment industry with

his good looks.




 On another note, Nicole was confident that she could win the reward to worth one million; she was even planning to save the money for her son so that he wouldn’t have to worry about his future later on. “It’s about time. I need to make a move now.” Nicole implied that she had to get going.




“I’m almost done as well. Let me give you a ride to pick the kid's up.”




“There’s no need for that, but thanks for the offer anyway.” Nicole turned down Drake's kind offer.




Drake squinted and stared at her without blinking. “I promised my grandma to look after you and your kids.”




Although Nicole had no problem getting along with Jodie, she didn't feel the same way with Drake, so she rejected him once again. "We don't need you to look after us.".




Ten minutes later, Nicole made her way downstairs and stood by the sidewalk to flag down a taxi when a black

silhouette pulled up in front of her. Then, the car - window rolled down as Drake said firmly, "Get in."




However, Nicole responded with an unfriendly gawk. She found him annoying because he wouldn't stop following her

despite her rejection..




At that moment, a taxi pulled up before Drake's vehicle and Nicole promptly pulled open the door before entering it. As soon as the taxi started moving, Drake followed right behind the car in his Rolls-Royce Phantom.




As Nicole turned around and eyed the tailing vehicle coldly, she cursed in her heart and questioned the man's intentions in a frustrated manner. What is this guy

trying to do?.




By the time Nicole arrived at the school gates, he saw Anastasia entering the school shortly before she came back out while holding the kid's hand. When the little triplets saw the handsome man leaning against his car with his eyes on them, they happily let go of their mother’s hand and greeted him in excitement by saying, “Mr. Butler.” they then scurried toward the man the moment they finished their sentence.




Needless to say, Drake Butler happily crouched down and embraced the children with his arms. The next second, he carried the kid's and allowed them to sit on his muscular arm with immense joy. At the same time, they were approached by a father and son who asked, “triplets, is this your father?”




Drea looked at his classmate and shifted his gaze to the man, ready to shake his head in response just when Drake smiled and replied, “Yes, I’m their father indeed.” While the kid's was stunned to hear that, Nicole, who was walking closer, glared at the man and grumbled to herself about his questionable motive to pose as her kid's father.




As soon as the father and son left, Pete turned his attention to Drake . "Mr. Butler, can you be my daddy for the time being?"




"Do you really want me to be your dad?" Drake asked..




"Of course!".




“No way!” Nicole interrupted the man and the child’s conversation, berating Drake for echoing her son’s childishness.




“Mom, my teacher said there will be a parent-child program this month, and everyone will bring their father along. Therefore, I’d like Mr. Butler to do me a favor and act as my father for the time being so that I can participate in the program.”




“Isn’t there a program for mothers to attend with their children?”




“There is one, but only girls get to attend that program with their mothers. The boys have been told to participate in this event with their fathers,” Pete answered.




After hearing her son’s explanation, Nicole was surprised that Pete's kindergarten didn’t consider those children who were fatherless, but she didn’t blame the school for that.




Drake replied firmly, “Alright, I’ll take part in this parent-child program with you.”
