Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 471

"I..." Charlotte was speechless for a moment.

Over the past few years, she had been avoiding him. Of course, work was one of the reasons but most of the time it was because she didn't know how to get along with him. They both avoided flirting with each other. Most of the time, they talked about business and she would check in with him on what was happening in the entertainment circle. Even if they were free, they never went on dates.

So she was sorry to him. She clearly said that she would give him the best life. She also said that even if she took over everything, she would not ignore him. But in the end, she let him get hurt. In the past, it was so difficult for people to meet him, let alone hurt him. Now...

She failed to protect him, so she apologised.

"There's no need to be sorry."

"Sorry." She apologized again.

"You haven't fulfilled your promise of one month."

"What one month?"

"Dating."Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

It was only then Charlotte remembered there was such a promise but now...

Charlotte felt a little awkward as she said, "I'm really too busy right now. If I take some time off to be with you, I won't be able to do anything else." "In the past, I also took time off to be with you."

"Alright..." Charlotte couldn't turn down these words.

That's right.

In the past, Shane was much busier than her. After all, she took over everything from him. Besides, he had to build the company on his own before. It was much more difficult compared to her work. However, where should they go on a date?"

Sheryl noticed her parents seemed to have become much closer recently. They often went out together. Sometimes they would take her and Freddie out too. Although she really liked going out, she was even more curious about the sudden change in their relationship.

However, it was quite sad that Shane's left hand was impaired. He could no longer carry Sheryl on his back like he used to.

On this day.

Sheryl and Freddie were doing their homework at home. Suddenly, the door burst open. Olive ran in and sat down beside Sheryl. "I'm so angry." "What's wrong?" Sheryl reached out and touched her hair.

"The new school I'm at is way out of line."

Freddie looked up and shot her a disdained look. "Why blame the school for your own incompetence?"

"You'd better shut your mouth and wash it with soap." Olive rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Alright, can you stop arguing the moment you see each other?" Sheryl asked helplessly. "Olive, ignore Freddie. Tell me what happened."

"They didn't tell me when they were playing with the time capsule!"

"What is a time capsule?" Sheryl asked.

"That is..."

A time capsule was a game the children liked to play. They would put a note or toy into a small box and then bury it. When they grew up, they would dig it out again. Most of the time, it was played with two or more people as doing it alone would be boring.

Olive longed to play this game but no one in school wanted to play with her. Of course, she couldn't care less to play with them either but it was quite pitiful to be ignored during activities.

"If I had known, I would go to the same school as you," Olive sighed.

"Thank you but I don't want to. Furthermore, you are too old. You won't be able to pass the tests." Freddie retorted without lifting his head.

"You crazy..."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Sheryl's head was starting to spin.

As she thought about it.

This year, she would soon be fifteen years old. Freddie would be sixteen and Olive, eighteen. So Olive would be the eldest, but she was the immature one amongst them. She was hot and impulsive, like a ball of fire and she was also especially...cute? Or it should be said that she was childish. For something like the time capsule...

Sheryl thought that it would be something she was interested in during pre-school.

Freddie shut his notebook and stood up. "I'm going back to my room to study."

"You!" Olive's eyes widened with anger.

"Calm down. I'll play the time capsule with you." Sheryl patted her head and asked, "Olive, have you decided which college to go to?" "Yes, geology university. I'm going to study ecological studies in the future. What about you?"

"I've discussed with Freddie. He'll apply for a performing arts college in Brine while I'm going to study Biotechnology and minor in finance. Next time..." Sheryl lowered her head and smiled, "He wants to be a singer."

Olive was speechless.

Was he crazy?

Olive could never understand Freddie's choice. She coldly answered, "Then you should make your own choices. If you feel that he's not good enough for you, you can find someone else anytime."

"Okay," Sheryl agreed.

Olive left not long after.

Sheryl propped her head up with one hand as she looked towards the distance.

After a while, she yawned. Her soft hair flowed down her shoulders.

Of course, her future was bright, but there were still some things she cared about very much.

Squeak, squeak-

The door was pushed open again.

Sheryl thought that Olive left something behind, so she did not look up.

"Sheryl."

She didn't raise her head until she heard the familiar voice. She rushed to the door without hesitation and hugged her. "Mommy!"

"You're already such a big girl, why

do you still act like a child?"

Charlotte cupped her face and sighed, "You used to be so sma// when theld you in my arms. I didn't expect you to become as tallas me now."

"I'm only 5 feet tall, mommy..." Sheryl felt very helpless.

"Hahaha." Charlotte laughed. She looked very happy.

"Mommy? Why do you look so happy?"

Of course, she was happy.

Charlotte took out a red book mysteriously and waved it before her in a smug manner. "Look, what is this?"

Sheryl grabbed it and read it carefully. Her eyes turned red when she realised the seal was real. "You guys finally got married? I'm no longer a poor girl without a home."

Freddie walked out of the room on the second floor and leaned against the armrest as he looked down.

Sheryl looked so cute with her red eyes. He couldn't help but feel like hugging her tightly to comfort her.

"Yes, we're married," Shane said as he entered the room.

His left hand still couldn't move but he could still open and close doors. He also held a red book in his right hand.

"Now everyone knows that those people left the music industry because of me." Shane handed the book to Sheryl. "It hasn't even been a month, why are you so anxious?"

"I know that you love me and only me. Of course I'm anxious," Charlotte said as she grabbed his arms. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Tell her earlier?

She would have to listen, too.

Shane didn't know what else to say.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's a good thing that you're married. Freddie, my parents are married!"

Sheryl was so happy that she ran up. She threw herself into Freddie's embrace without a second thought. "My parents are finally married. I am so

happy!"

She felt very soft in his arms.

Freddie smiled as he placed his fingers on her hair. "Let's get married in the future."

"Are you going to marry me?" She raised her head, her eyes still filled with tears of excitement.

"It's been my dream since I was a child. What about you?"

"I..." Sheryl hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that she didn't like him but they were too close to each other.

Most of the time, she couldn't tell if

Freddie was her brother or her future fiance. She even had the thought that if a new girl appeared by his side one day, he would go for it without any hesitation. After all, he was too familiar with her.

Freddie seemed to know what she was thinking about. He leaned over and whispered, "Next time, you would take over the company and would enter the entertainment circle. Don't you want to be my benefactor? Then you can do whatever you want with me."

"Really?" Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sure."

"Yay!"

Charlotte couldn't help but sigh as she listened to the two children arguing upstairs. "The thing that I was the most worried about has now become

something I'm most unconcerned about."

Shane put his arm around her shoulder and said, "It's enough to have you by my side."

That's right, it's enough to have him by her side!
