Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 117

After getting off work, Charlotte went straight to the kindergarten to pick up Sheryl.

Sheryl raised her little head and looked around. After a few seconds, she pouted and asked, "Mommy, why didn't Daddy come pick me up with you?"

Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "Daddy has gone on a business trip. When Daddy comes back, he'll come pick you up, okay?"

In the blink of an eye, her little face turned sunny and she laughed. "Okay! Mommy, today we..."

She kept talking non-stop.

As for Charlotte, she watched as the sky gradually darkened. She thought that Shane should have arrived at W Country by now.

She took out her cell phone from her bag, pulled open the contact list, and scrolled to that familiar number.

There seemed to be no reason to call him.

Beside her, Sheryl noticed that her mother was staring at the phone and said loudly, "Mommy, are you listening to me or not?" Shocked, Charlotte's hand slipped and dialed the number on the phone.

By the time Charlotte realized what was going on, she had no time to care to think, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Because she hung up the phone in a flurry, she was not sure if the call had really gone through.

What would Shane think if she had really made the phone call?

The lights on both sides of the street were suddenly turned on. Due to the weather turning cold, there were only a few pedestrians on the road. Meanwhile, because of the awkward phone call just now, Charlotte's body was hot and her mind was also in a mess.

When Charlotte and Sheryl arrived home, there was nothing from her phone. Since so much time had gone by without a response, it was likely that the call had not gotten through.

While she was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.

The emotions that she had pressed down with difficulty suddenly rose to the forefront again. Charlotte took a deep breath and picked up the phone. "Hello."

A man's chilly voice rang out. "We were in a meeting just now so I couldn't answer. What's the matter?"

Although he sounded cold, Shane explained patiently.

For a moment, Charlotte was at a loss for words. She wanted to say that she had made a mistake, but the words that came out were completely different. "Ah... I want to ask if you've arrived? Did things go well?"

On the other end of the line, Shane was silent for a few seconds. "Hmm," he agreed.

Just like that, they descended into a long silence. Perhaps she was aware of the awkward atmosphere at the moment. Charlotte was a little embarrassed as she opened her mouth and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now."

"Please, what exactly are you doing, Charlotte?" she thought to herself.

Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Shane stopped her and said, "If all goes well, I should return next Monday. When I do, I'll take you back to the old mansion."

Charlotte's hand tightened on the phone. She paused for about a second before saying, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Charlotte couldn't sleep. Did Shane say he was going to take her back to the Fuller family's old mansion just now?

She must have been hallucinating.

At that moment, the phone rang again. Charlotte looked at it almost instantly. When she saw who was calling, she felt at ease enough to answer it, "Anne-"

A weak voice came through the phone, which made Anne frown doubtfully and ask, "What's the matter? Haven't you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Charlotte rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Anne couldn't help but wield her sharp tongue. "Tell me, what's wrong with you? Why do you sound so upset? You moved in with Shane. What else is there to worry about?"

"Shane's grandmother is back. He said something about taking me to the old mansion next week. What should I do?"

"Are you serious? This is explosive news!"

"Yes."

"Then you should go. I heard that Mrs. Fuller Senior is a legendary figure, but she hasn't come back in so many years. She probably won't be leaving again this time."

Since Charlotte didn't say anything, Anne continued to advise her in a rapid-fire manner, "She would have found out about you being with Shane sooner or later. Instead of letting her come to you herself, it would be better for you to take the initiative. After all, you are from a younger generation."
