Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 251

"Are you afraid that I'll misunderstand?"

"Yes." Charlotte nodded her head resolutely.

"Do you want to reply to it, or should I?"

Charlotte thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I won't reply to him. When I was involved with you, I was already thinking that it would be unfair to Rick if I was with you, and it would be unfair to you if I was with Rick, so..."

"It would be unfair to me if you were with Rick?"

Charlotte had subconsciously blurted out the truth. Immediately, she covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head forcefully.

Shane, however, was in a good mood. The corners of his eyes were lifted a little as he said, "I didn't expect you to have such an awareness."

"What awareness?" Charlotte asked dumbly.

"Since you know that it's unfair to me if you're with him, why do you agree to the divorce?"

"You've already brought up the divorce. If I didn't agree, wouldn't it mean that I still have feelings for you? But the marriage was just contractual, so any feelings beyond that don't matter," Charlotte said. She had always assumed that this situation was

the truth.

In other words, it was not that she did not love him. In her view, she could not love him.

Shane was even happier when he came to this conclusion. He said, "Let me reply."

He suddenly seemed to be very happy.

Charlotte analyzed Shane's features and felt that the current him was much gentler than before. He didn't look as cold as he used to be.

Soon, Rick received a reply.

Charlotte: I'm not talking to you.

Such a brief reply was obviously not from Charlotte. Even if she wanted to reject him, she would include words such as Tm sorry' and so on. To Charlotte, refusing Rick was something that she found difficult.

Rick felt a pain in his chest, and he raised his hand to cover his heart.

Rick: Mr. Fuller?

Charlotte: Mmm.

Rick: Are you afraid to let me see her?

Charlotte: She asked me to respond.

Rick did not know how to respond to that.

Charlotte knew that if she had replied, she would definitely feel guilty. In order to prevent this guilt from affecting her relationship with Shane, she asked Shane to reply.

Impressive.

Charlotte was becoming more and more impressive.

Rick simply threw his phone on the sofa, picked up the wine on the coffee table and drank it all.

The alcohol burned his throat. After entering his stomach, the distinctive smell of alcohol rushed into his nasal cavity.

Rick shut his eyes and leaned into the sofa, allowing the alcohol to hit all his body's senses.

"Rick, why are you drinking again!" Kendall ran to his side and said, "You..."

"Get out." Rick pushed her away.

"I'm sorry, Rick." Kendall lowered her head.

Rick tilted his head to one side to look at Kendall. Kendall liked to pretend to be pitiful, using her wronged expression to get him to sympathize with her.

"You haven't done anything you need to apologize to me for. I should be apologizing to Charlotte. I did wrong by the law. I've done the most impulsive and regretful thing in my life by bailing you out so that you can cooperate with Christopher," Rick said, gritting his teeth.

He hated himself. But he hated Kendall more, and hated Christopher the most.

He didn't even understand why he would commit perjury just because of a few words by Christopher.

Originally, he thought that even if he gave false evidence, the court would certainly dismiss it, so it did not make much difference whether he did it or not. What was more, Christopher's words were reasonable. If Kendall was imprisoned, the Stevens Family would definitely come forward. By then...

As he was thinking about this, Kendall let out a scream. "How could this happen?"

Rick came to his senses and looked at her in displeasure. "What's wrong?"

"Tiffany was charged for first-degree murder and she will be sentenced to life. It seems that she wanted to kill Shane." Kendall handed her phone to Rick, her face pale. "Shane is now with Charlotte. If he can treat Tiffany like this, will he put me in jail for life too?"

There was a difference between first- degree murder and kidnapping.

According to the country's law, the maximum sentence for kidnapping was only about 25 years, and the highest sentence would be used rather than compounding them. What was more, Sheryl was now still alive and kicking, so Kendall would only be sentenced to a few years.

The key point of the matter was that, Tiffany must have been out of her mind, since she would definitely not be able to do anything to Shane.

She must have made a move against Charlotte, and Shane just happened to be standing right beside her.

Rick threw his phone aside, grabbed the bottle of wine again, took a sip, and put it back down.

"Shane does things quickly. He won't allow anyone who hurts himself or his people to exist in this world."

"Then Christopher..."

"I don't know. I always thought that he had other feelings for Christopher. Otherwise, according to his style, he would never allow Christopher to act wildly in his company, let alone give his shares to Christopher."

Kendall didn't know Shane at all. She only knew that Shane was a person who could kill her easily.

Although Shane only hit her once at that time, she could feel that Shane wanted to kill her in that moment.

On the outside, he looked as carefree as a celestial being, but deep down, he was a demon.

This sort of person was too frightening.

The only thing was.

Kendall suddenly had an idea. "That's not right. Didn't he give all the shares of NC Company to Christopher? He has nothing to do with the company now. Why should we be afraid of him? He has nothing now."

"Nothing? Indeed, if you leave the Jane family, you will have nothing, but Shane is different. It can be said that he built NC Company with his connections. Once he leaves, it's NC Company that will have nothing."

Kendall was speechless. She would really die a miserable death if she left the Jane family...

Rick sighed and picked up the bottle again. "I admit that I lost to Shane."

At least, it was Shane and not anyone else.

It wasn't so bad if it was Shane's.

At least he could accept this conclusion.

On the weekend.

Because Shane had to go to a salon, Charlotte could only bring Sheryl to the old mansion herself.

The butler waited at the door for them for a long time. When he saw them coming, he smiled and said, "Miss Charlotte, Mrs. Fuller Senior has been talking about you all the time." "Hi, long time no see." Charlotte smiled and nodded at him.

The butler was stunned for a moment before he nodded with an embarrassed smile on his face.

This Miss Charlotte looked more poised than before, as though she was not nervous at all.

Charlotte brought Sheryl into the mansion and looked at Raina and Mrs. Fuller Senior on the sofa. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Raina didn't even look at the two of them.

Charlotte walked up to Mrs. Fuller Senior with a smile on her face. "Grandmother, Sheryl keeps saying that she misses you."

"I know. I've already watched your press conference." Mrs. Fuller Senior smiled widely.

Sheryl immediately threw herself into Mrs. Fuller Senior's arms and said, "Great-grandmother."

After throwing herself into Mrs. Fuller Senior's arms, Sheryl stammered and greeted Raina, "Hello, auntie."

Charlotte broke into laughter. "Grandma, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Sheryl. I have something to talk to Madam Raina about."

Mrs. Fuller Senior nodded meaningfully. "Lottie, you're more mature than before."

"Thank you, Grandma. People have to grow up sometime."

"Hahaha, even though you've grown up, don't lose your spirit."

"Grandma, I understand." Charlotte leaned over and kissed her on the face. "Thank you."

Mrs. Fuller Senior was very satisfied as she brought Sheryl to the sunroom to have some snacks.

In the living room.

Only Raina and Charlotte were left.

Charlotte took out a small box from her pocket and handed it to Raina, "This is a gift I've prepared for you. I was in a hurry before, so I didn't prepare any gifts."

"Gift? What is it?" Raina rudely refused to accept the box.

"Shane told me that you like crystals and jades, so I got someone to find a piece of jade and some crystal. This bracelet is made of ice jade and white crystal."

Charlotte opened the box and revealed the bracelet.

The style of this bracelet was similar to that of Shane's gift to her. The main reason was that she felt that this style was really pretty. The sterling silver matched the other two components, so they didn't contradict each other.

The bracelet was naturally good-looking.

The ice jade was high-end and elegant, while the crystal was transparent and bright without being unfashionable.

In this bracelet, you could find the perfect mix of olden and modern times.

The disdain in Raina's eyes suddenly changed.
