Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 164

Shane invited her to dinner. Charlotte had been so worried about going out with Mrs. Fuller Senior that it was only when Rick called that she remembered that she should have let him know she had arrived.

And yet.

When she was talking to Rick on the phone, Shane had been talking to Sheryl.

"Is Shane there?" Rick naturally heard Shane's voice.

"Yes." Charlotte lowered her head and replied in a muffled voice.

"Do you not want to see him, or do you not know how to face him?"

"Both."

"Do you need my help?" Rick looked at his reports and said, 'TH be done in about 30 minutes."

Charlotte didn't want to trouble him. After all, Shane had brought Sheryl to pick her up. He had invited her to dinner too. It had been so nice of him to do so.

If Charlotte asked Rick to come over, it would be rude to both men.

She thought for a while but declined in the end. "It's okay. You don't have to pick me up, I..."

"Rick?" Shane suddenly turned his gaze towards Charlotte.

Charlotte felt a chill in her heart when he looked at her, and she nodded her head subconsciously.

Shane reached out and made a gesture to her, indicating that she should hand over the phone to him.

"Give him the phone." Rick seemed to have guessed what was going on.

Charlotte was speechless.

Why did she feel that she was out of place here between Shane and Rick?

Shane took the phone and pressed it against his ear.

"About Avery, what do you think?" Rick went straight to the point.

"It's not a bad thing."

"And it has nothing to do with you?"

"No."

"It seems that you've really given me a treasure. Don't you regret it?"

Shane's eyes turned cold and his voice deepened. "She's my woman."

"What were they talking about?" Charlotte wondered.

Although Charlotte didn't hear what Shane said, her intuition told her that it had something to do with her. However, when she heard Shane's words, she felt that something wasn't right.

Shane... He wouldn't tell someone that she was his woman, would he?

They no longer had anything to do with each other.

"Lottie doesn't seem to think so."

"That's not important."

"As a man, you should be more gentlemanly. Since you once gave up on her, you should let her have the choice to meet other men than you."

Shane sneered as he hung up the phone and returned the phone to Charlotte.

Charlotte had genuinely been scared by his words and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She silently placed her phone back into her pocket.

Rick looked at the black phone on the screen and frowned slightly.

He rubbed his temples.

Previously, Shane's attitude toward Charlotte had not been so unyielding. What had happened?

Was it because of Tiffany?

According to what Charlotte said, Tiffany liked Shane...

Or, it was because they had feelings for each other, but since Tiffany's scandal was exposed, Shane felt regretful and wanted to get back together with Charlotte?

Rick's soft expression became cold and serious.

Even if Charlotte wanted to be with another man, she couldn't be with such a piece of scum.

After sending Sheryl back to the old mansion, Charlotte wanted to leave on her own so that she wouldn't have to be in Shane's car.

But drove her away from the old mansion without a word before Charlotte had the chance to call a taxi.

"Where are you taking me?" Charlotte asked uneasily.

"We'll be there very soon."

"This person..."Charlotte thought.

Charlotte bit her lower lip and had no choice but to stay quiet for a while. She was in his car, so it wasn't up to her what she could do.

In the end.

Shane parked his car near a hot spring hotel.

They were alone in the middle of the wilderness.

Charlotte was a little nervous. Her fingers tightened in her fist. Her neck was also sweating profusely.

"She is my woman."

The words Shane had said before were now like a mantra cycling in her ear.

Just as Charlotte was thinking about how to escape, Shane opened his mouth and said, "Look at the environment here. If it's not bad, you can bring Sheryl and Grandmother over and stay for a few days. I'll transfer the money to you."
