Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 293

Rick wasn't an unreasonable thinker. Even in Charlotte's eyes, he was a true businessman. And to her, a 100% businessman would never be open and straightforward. A businessman had an inferior status in the ancient societies because they were only interested in making profits.

Therefore, he would definitely choose the more advantageous option and not let his feelings get the better of him.

She interrupted Shane and acted in front of Rick, so that Kendall would let her guard down. And also to vent her frustration at the same time. After all, she kindly let Avery go back to discuss cooperation with Rick, but it led to such a disaster. Anyone would feel uncomfortable because of that.

However, she really didn't expect that Rick would want to fall out with Kendall here.

"Lottie, I thought you interrupted Mr. Fuller because you saw through it." Zoe was surprised too.

"I... Forget it. Just pretend as if I saw through it. The consequences are pretty much the same anyway." Charlotte simply gave up on herself.

"It's a good thing to be absent- minded." Peter smiled and said, "I received a text message from Rick again. He said that he had contacted his friend. If we want to meet the person who pushed Avery down, we can go now."

Charlotte bit her lips. She did want to see him, but she also knew that it was meaningless to see him. She would even enrage herself.

"Let's not meet him anymore."

It was Shane who spoke.

All of a sudden, all three people's eyes landed on him.

"I'll ask Cole to take him away. Well use our own way to make him speak."

Peter's eyes lit up. "Is it a special method? Mr. Fuller, you haven't interrogated anyone in a long time."

"Not me. It's for the kids from the army have some fun."

The kids from the army?

Charlotte and Zoe looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Since when did Shane have anything to do with the army?

Charlotte looked at Peter again. His face was full of surprise and anticipation. Obviously, Peter had already known about this.

However, neither Shane nor Peter proceeded to discuss this topic. She also knew that she shouldn't ask too much, so she just stopped talking.

She didn't want to ask too much about the world that belonged to Shane.

The four of them sat in the police station until Cole brought over 'the kids from the army'.

These 'kids' looked much older than Shane. Charlotte only dared to look and not stare. She listened to their conversation and didn't dare to interrupt. Only when the 'kids' brought the man away did she let out a sigh of relief. Then, she realized that someone was sighing beside her too. When she turned around, she realized that it was no other than Zoe.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"We don't seem to know them very well," Zoe spoke first.

"It's enough that they understand each other, just like how we understand each other."

"Lottie, if my lover is not someone from his circle. I don't think I can maintain this relationship between us."

Zoe was extremely rational and calm. She wasn't asking a rhetorical question, nor was she seeking a sense of security from Charlotte's answer. It was only a possibility that she came up with.

Charlotte pulled her to the side and sat down. Shane and Peter were left in the living room.

The place where the two of them sat was a bit noisy. Not far away was the place where the police worked. Some police officers were running around with a large pile of documents in their hands, while some of them were even pinning down the suspects onto the table. The scene would only make people sigh.

Compared to those composed scenes from movies and TV dramas, reality looked so much more chaotic.

Charlotte looked at them while holding Zoe's hand. "We are no longer at the age of dreaming. Lifelong friendship sounds too exaggerated. I only want you to be here for now."

"Alright." Zoe nodded.

"When there's a chance, I'll introduce Anne to you. Then we surely will not be bored in the future." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"What kind of person is she?"

Then, they began to talk about Anne.

Zoe had no friends.

It wasn't that she didn't have many friends. She didn't have friends at all.

She yearned for everyone's life. But at the same time, she was afraid that after she grew closer with others, they would look down on her because of her family background. Only when she was with Charlotte could she live like a normal person and not have to be afraid.

Shane soon finished his work. He left the living room with Cole alone. The man behind him, whose hands were cuffed, was taken away by the 'kids' from the army.

"Do you want to have dinner together?" Shane stood next to Charlotte and looked at Zoe.

"No thanks, Mr. Fuller. You guys have been hustling for so long. Go back and have a good rest. Peter and I cook at home every day. We can't finish everything," Zoe stood up and explained.

It was true that they were friends, but in her heart, she still regarded them as her superiors. She still had to have some etiquette.

Shane didn't say anything. He nodded and left with Charlotte.

Zoe picked up her bag and walked to Peter's side. "Let's go back then."

"You just said that you cook with me at home every day. I almost thought that we were already living together." Peter put his hands in his pockets, smirked, and smiled complacently.

"Are we not? We don't have to be a couple to live together."

"You really ruined the mood." Peter instantly started to feel sad.

However, Zoe didn't take it seriously. "I'm just telling the truth."

Sigh.

It was good that she told the truth, but sometimes it was impossible to live with the truth.

After returning home.

Charlotte told Shane about the safari park. Shane praised her management skills and said that she was very efficient and neat too. Charlotte was quite happy about it.

In the middle of the night, the hospital called, saying that Avery had woken up. She wanted to follow him at first, but Shane had locked her up at home, not allowing her to go. Instead, he went alone. Charlotte yawned as she sat on the sofa in the living room.

Although she didn't go to the hospital, she kept thinking about Avery and Shane.

She hoped that Shane wouldn't encounter anything else when he went to see Avery.

Facts had proven that her anxiety was very unnecessary. Shane was fine, and so was Avery. The main reason Shane went over was to deal with some procedures and talk to some experts. She really wasn't as good as Shane when it came to those two things.

Upon receiving the news from the little bird, Charlotte finally felt relieved and decided to sleep.

Tomorrow, she still had to follow up on the safari park's project.

The next day, dawn.

Charlotte got up early in the morning. After making breakfast, she left a note, took her luggage, and left. She had to go overseas to follow the wildlife truck.

Today, Zoe was not with her. Zoe would only meet up with her when she had arrived in another city tomorrow.

Before leaving, Charlotte specially recorded a video for Sheryl. It was only 7:30 a.m. when she sent it to the little girl. She was usually still asleep at this hour, so she didn't wait for a reply.

Very soon, Charlotte arrived at the airport. She checked in and switched off her phone.

Because she was in the first-class cabin, she was able to enjoy a delightful breakfast.

After breakfast, the plane was almost near the destination.

Charlotte got in the taxi and switched on her phone. She received a total of two messages. One was sent by Sheryl: Mommy, you have to come back soon. Daddy said he would bring us to travel when you come back!

The other one was from Shane: Have a safe trip.

It was only four simple words, but Charlotte couldn't get tired of it. She kept stroking the four words on her screen with her fingers. Her eyes welled, and her nose tingled.

She was not an emotional person, but when it came to Shane, her emotions would often be moved by him.

"Miss, are you here to see your boyfriend?" The driver witnessed Charlotte's expression from the rearview mirror. "Don't cry, alright. You'll get to see him in a short while."

"Mister, I'm already a mother of a child." Charlotte couldn't help but laugh. "You can't call me Miss anymore."

"A mother? Oh, I really couldn't tell. That's why I thought you look young but quite mature. So you're not here to see your boyfriend?"

"I'm here to work. My boyfriend sent me a message just now."

Upon hearing that, the driver laughed happily. "You really followed me and called him your boyfriend.

You have to call him your husband."

Husband.

Charlotte was speechless.

Shane Fuller didn't seem to match very well with that word.
