Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 14

It was already ten o'clock at night when Charlotte returned home after a long day at work.

It was pitch-black in the house. None of the lights were left on in wait for her.

She fumbled for her house slippers in the dark, but just as she put her flats into the shoe cabinet...

The lights in the living room suddenly flickered on, and the successive bangs of party poppers invaded her ears.

Immediately after, Sheryl brought the carefully prepared cake up to Charlotte with Anne's assistance.

"Happy birthday, mommy!"

"Happy birthday, Lottie!"

Welcomed with the warm scene in front of her, Charlotte was so moved that she teared up. Today was her birthday.

"Mommy, you're one year older. You're a big girl now. Don't cry," said Sheryl with a stern expression.

Charlotte was instantly amused by her precious daughter's witty words.

As per regular birthday routine, Charlotte made a wish and finished cutting the cake.

Sheryl scurried back to her room and cheekily brought out a box from the room.

"Mommy, here is a gift for you."

Looking at the exquisite gift box in Sheryl's arms, Charlotte subconsciously assumed it was Anne's arrangement, but Anne looked rather dumbfounded.

With elation written all over her face, Sheryl looked at Charlotte giddily and urged, "Mommy, quick, open it, and have a look."

Following Sheryl's instructions, Charlotte opened the box and the jade-colored dress laying in it startled her.
