Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 141

Charlotte was stunned for a few seconds before she pressed the answer button. "Hello?"

"Wait for me to return. We need to talk." The male voice on the end of the line was cold and unruffled.

"Okay," she responded jerkily.

She really wanted to ask about him and Tiffany, but she was afraid that, like before, she would touch his sore spot, so she didn't.

Shane changed his posture, picked up a necklace with his long fingers, and said, "I heard that you like the color purple?"

"Are you bringing me a gift?" She was pleasantly surprised.

"You don't like purple?"

"I like it." She just didn't expect that he would buy her a gift.

"Well, I'm looking forward to coming back."

The sour feeling in Charlotte's heart dissipated quite a bit in an instant. She laid against the windowsill and looked at the stars in the sky. "Is it morning over there?"

Shane replied calmly, "Yes. Around six o'clock."

"You're up so early."

"There is another meeting. I'll be back in the country the day after tomorrow at the latest. We will see each other at Braden and Anne's engagement party."

"Alright."

They ended the call.

Charlotte suddenly felt that her relationship with Shane had deepened and was no longer as distant as before.

He said it was worth looking forward to, so she was looking forward to his return.

On the day of Anne's engagement party to Braden.

Charlotte, Zoe and Christopher arrived at the church together by car.

Since they had to arrive on their own anyway, it was more fun to go together.

Along the way, Charlotte was very excited. She looked forward to seeing Shane and having a good chat with him. After all, it had been a long time since they last saw each other.

A week? A week and a half?

She had never wanted to see someone as urgently as she did now.

The event was a buffet, but there were seats too. If you were tired, you could sit down and rest.

Charlotte didn't have anyone to greet, so she was separated from Zoe and Christopher. She sat down in the corner alone.

As she ate, she suddenly heard a commotion.

She raised her head subconsciously—

Shane walked in slowly, dressed in a black suit. As he walked unhurriedly, his tall and strong figure, as well as his handsome appearance, became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Charlotte stared blankly at him. She subconsciously wanted to get up and meet him.

And yet.

A woman in a pink dress came to his side. She took his arm naturally, and gave him a sweet smile.

From a distance away, Charlotte couldn't see Shane's expression clearly, but he didn't push the woman away.

That woman...

It was Tiffany Allen.

Charlotte felt as if she had been hit by someone. She was so overwhelmed that she couldn't even keep her legs steady.

She turned around hurriedly and hid in a corner.

Braden, who walked up to meet Shane, was immediately stunned. Earlier, he had even promised Charlotte that Shane would definitely not come with anyone else. But, in the blink of an eye, he had brought Tiffany to Braden's engagement party?

"Shane, why don't you introduce us?" Braden coughed.

"Tiffany Allen," Shane spat coldly and pulled his arm away. "Where is Charlotte?"

It was not until then that Braden realized that his friend Shane had not abandoned Ms. Emerson. He was only symbolically entering the venue with a female companion.

Braden let out a sigh of relief. "It's good that you still think of Charlotte."

Shane frowned, and his gaze turned frigid. The atmosphere around him suddenly became colder.

Although Tiffany did not speak, the fingers hanging at her side were tightly clenched. She knew through her sources that Shane was married to some woman, and that person was Charlotte Emerson.

She had never expected that another woman would beat her to the punch while she was filming abroad.

She would not allow anyone to steal Shane from her.

"I don't know where Charlotte is. Why don't you look for her? I think she's with Zoe and Christopher," Braden said.

"Okay."

Just like that, Shane left Tiffany alone.

Braden wanted to take Tiffany to the lounge to be nice, but when he turned around, she was already gone.

It was so strange.

In her corner.

Charlotte looked at the exquisite dessert on the plate before her without any appetite. Her mind was filled with the image of Tiffany holding onto Shane.

"What's wrong? Why are you sitting here alone and not even eating? Don't you like the food?"
