Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 105

Anne looked at Raina's face, which was well-maintained for her age. Seeing that it had turned red with anger, Anne was secretly proud of herself,

She would not allow anyone to insult Charlotte.

When Shane arrived at the location that Braden sent him, he stepped into this seemingly ordinary apartment.

"Don't tell the old lady that I'm the one who leaked the information!"

Braden pretended to be pitiful as he looked at Shane who was walking forward and ignoring him. Fortunately, Shane did not say anything.

Standing in front of a half-covered door, the air around Shane was getting grimmer and more menacing. There was no emotion in his amber eyes. He said word by word, "What are you doing here?"

"How did you know I was here?"

Raina couldn't help but glare at Braden, who hurried forward to stand between her and Anne.

"It's not me!"

Braden still maintained a casual attitude and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Enough! Are you not satisfied with policing the whole family? Now you're trying to do this to other people as well?"

Shane looked down at Raina, who stood in front of him, and the chill in his voice made Anne tremble involuntarily.

It was so grim...

"Sir, Madam Raina is just concerned about you..."

Aunt Ophelia, who was standing beside Raina, spoke out, hoping to mediate the situation.

"That's enough. Let's go."

Raina looked into her son's hateful eyes and felt as if her heart had been pierced by an arrow. She was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

"Madam, why don't you let me tell Mr. Fuller why you did this? If you keep hiding this secret from him, your relationship will worsen."

When they returned to the car, Aunt Ophelia asked anxiously.

"He doesn't need to know."

Raina slowly closed her eyes, and a tear trickled down her cheek. Aunt Ophelia, who was sitting next to her, shook her head in silence.

Back in the apartment, when Anne realized that she and Braden were the only ones left, she slowly raised her head and asked, "Why do I sense that Mr. Fuller and his mother don't get along? They aren't close either. The atmosphere is seriously tense."

"I'm not sure either."

Braden shrugged his shoulders innocently.

Although he and Shane had known each other for so many years, there were some things that he usually steered clear of.

Meanwhile, the cause of this drama was sitting at her desk with boredom. Her current task was to 'get used to the Fuller Group's company culture', but she was actually doing nothing.

At ten o'clock, Charlotte walked out of the office.

"Ms. Watson, do I have anything else to do?"

Charlotte knocked on the door to the secretary office and asked softly.

"Ms. Emerson, Mr. Fuller has a meeting in the afternoon. You can prepare the paperwork."

"No problem."

"Mrs. Fuller, are you having lunch with Mr. Fuller or...?"

Zoe stopped what she was doing and asked Charlotte curiously, who was at the door.

"Ah? I... I ate alone. Um, I think I prefer you to call me Charlotte from now on. I can call you Zoe."

Charlotte looked at Zoe with embarrassment.

She shouldn't be too close to Shane in the company, because she didn't want more people to know about the relationship between them.

"Sure thing."

Zoe nodded as a sign of agreement. There was a barely discernible, courteous smile on her face.

There was a series of knocking sounds on the door.

Christopher had appeared outside the office at some point and knocked on the door. He leaned against the door frame and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"

"Mr. Gibson -"

"Christopher."

The two voices rang out at the same time. Zoe meaningfully glanced at Charlotte.

"Where is Mr. Fuller?' When he looked at Zoe, Christopher's expression remained gentle.

"The president went out."

Zoe explained in a matter-of-fact manner, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"All right."

Christopher raised his eyebrows at Charlotte and said in a gentle voice, "Let's have lunch together."
