Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 114

"Daddy, what are you thinking about?"

Sheryl took out the lollipop from her mouth and stared at Shane's handsome face with a puzzled look.

"I'm thinking why Sheryl likes to eat sweets."

Shane smiled gently, and the hand holding the little girl suddenly tightened a little.

"Because I'm a kid. Daddy is so stupid."

Sheryl couldn't help but roll her eyes and didn't see the ambiguous smile on his face.

After giving Sheryl over to Ms. Jenny's care, Shane deliberately slowed down when passing by the room next to his, but he didn't hear any sound.

At that moment, Charlotte was lying quietly on the bed. Everything here was foreign to her. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The next morning, Charlotte assumed that she woke up very early. She walked down from the second floor in a panic, trying to avoid Shane.

"Good morning."

As if by reflex, Charlotte turned around and looked toward the source of the sound.

At this hour, the morning sunshine filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows to land on Shane's shoulder. It made him look like a wealthy gentleman.

"Morning-"

Charlotte waved her hand reluctantly. When she walked to the living room, she suddenly said, "Please take care of Sheryl. I'm going to the office now."

"You're not having breakfast?"

Shane looked up and down at Charlotte before him. In his mind, the memory of the last time he picked this small woman up floated up. Her body weight had been obviously too light.

Charlotte didn't know why the man before her with his hand on a newspaper had changed his expression so quickly. She could only say in a weak voice, "I'll buy some breakfast on the way."

As he looked at her rapidly departing back, Shane's mouth twitched a couple of times.

Of course he knew that the woman was intentionally avoiding him.

But they were under the same roof. How could she avoid him?

"Mr. Fuller, the breakfast that you ordered for

Miss Charlotte is ready. What do you think?"

Ms. Jenny respectfully put the packed breakfast on the table, quietly waiting for Shane's instructions.

"Leave it here."

Shane continued to read the newspaper in his hand and didn't withdraw his gaze until he heard the sound of footsteps upstairs.

An hour later, Shane drove to the Fuller Group after sending Sheryl to her kindergarten.

Braden, who had been waiting for a long time, was chatting with the receptionist at the lobby on the first floor.

When he saw Shane coming in, his foot almost slipped, and he went straight to him.

"Shane."

Braden gave his signature smile and waved to the two beautiful women at the front desk, then he fixed his eyes on Shane.

"What's the matter?"

Shane threw a cold glance at the man following him and went straight into the exclusive CEO's elevator.

"There is a small matter."

Braden followed him into the elevator shamelessly.

One after the other, they arrived at the office. Braden closed the door shut behind him as he was the last to enter. Then, he drifted over to a waiting sofa.

"You're a slave to your daughter now. But your life still seems more interesting than ours."

Braden stretched lazily and covered his belly with his hand.

"Jealous?"

Shane didn't object. Instead, he raised his eyebrows, his expression relaxed.

"Of course I'm not jealous. I also want to start a family one day. Humph..." Braden rolled his eyes. Then, his expression turned serious and turned to look at the man sitting on the chair, saying, "I'm here to talk business."

"The role of acting CEO of the Emerson Corporation has been taken up by Elaine Emerson. That woman is not so simple. As soon as she took the role, she replaced all the old employees who worked hard for Timothy with people who are under her control or those she trusts."
