Was Shane crazy? Did he just kiss her?
Charlotte patted her face and forced herself to calm down. She sat down on the sofa and took out her mobile phone to play some games. She thought she could calm down in this way.
But things often did not go her way.
She heard a character in the game speak in a sexy and husky noise. Shane's face instantly appeared in her mind.
"Why does he keep haunting me?" she wondered.
Charlotte smiled bitterly. She turned off her phone and lay down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling.
She had just returned from a business trip today. She should have taken Sheryl to have hot pot with Anne and the others. Then, she should have taken Sheryl out to play tomorrow.
How had she ended up here with Shane?
Sigh.
She couldn't understand him.
The next day.
Sheryl, Mrs. Fuller Senior and Ms. Laura arrived at the hotel.
Even if Charlotte didn't want to be here with Shane, she couldn't take it out on Mrs. Fuller Senior and Sheryl.
The two of them went to the buffet restaurant where Shane was already eating.
Mrs. Fuller Senior brought Sheryl to get some food. Charlotte didn't have much of an appetite, so she sat near the window and waited forthem.
"Don't you want to eat anything?" Shane pushed a portion of steamed eggs in front of her.
"I'm not hungry." Charlotte looked at the egg and didn't have much appetite. "I might have eaten too much yesterday."
Yesterday?
Shane recalled that she didn't eat too much. Most of the food had been eaten by him and Sheryl, and some of it Sheryl had taken back to the old mansion.
He pursed his lips. "If you're not feeling well, I'll have Henry give you a physical examination."
"I just don't have an appetite. That doesn't require a physical examination, does it? Besides, I don't want to bother you."
"Didn't want to trouble him?" Shane thought.
Shane looked at her coldly. It was enough to freeze a cup of warm water in an instant.
Charlotte lowered her head and didn't meet his eyes. She was eating the steamed egg mechanically.
After a while, Sheryl and Mrs. Fuller Senior came back with a lot of food.
Sheryl put a strawberry in Charlotte's. Charlotte didn't want to spoil the child's mood, so she opened her mouth and ate it although her stomach did not feel too good.
After the meal.
As Sheryl wanted to feed the pigeons, so Charlotte accompanied her.
Mrs. Fuller Senior and Shane followed behind them.
"Mommy, you don't look so good." The little girl tilted her head and looked at Charlotte.
"I'm fine." Charlotte stretched out her hand and touched Sheryl's head.
Sheryl made an "oh" sound and didn't mention it again.
After playing for a while, Charlotte suddenly felt her stomach churning. She fell against the fountain and covered her mouth.
If she vomited in there, it would be difficult to clean it up.
As Charlotte thought about this, she forced herself to look for a trash can before she dared to puke a little.
What came out were the undigested strawberry and steamed eggs.
She leaned against a street lamp with a pale face.
"Mommy!" Sheryl grabbed Shane's hand and ran to the street lamp. "Daddy, look at Mommy. She looks ill today."
The little girl felt helpless. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Charlotte propped herself up and said with a weak smile, "Sheryl, Mommy is fine. It's just that I'm having a stomachache."
"You vomited blood!"
"That's strawberry, silly girl."
Sheryl blinked her eyes.
Mrs. Fuller Senior walked slower, and only arrived then to pull Sheryl to her side. "Shane, take Charlotte to see a doctor." "I've already called Henry over. Grandma, why don't you keep Sheryl company?"
"Alright. Quickly, take her back to rest."
"Yes."
Shane simply lifted Charlotte into his arms in a bridal carry and took her back to the room.
Charlotte's stomach felt terrible. She begged him in a low voice, "Stop carrying me. What if I vomit on you? Put me down, please?"
"I don't mind."
"But..." "That would be very awkward," Charlotte thought.
Shane ignored her.
Charlotte had been holding back all this time, but her brain didn't have the final say on her physical condition.
Her stomach couldn't take it anymore, so she leaned forward and threw up.
Shane didn't even frown. He ignored the strong smell of stomach acid and sped up his pace.
At this time, Charlotte felt weak. Her body was constantly trembling. She did not have time to care if he would feel disgusted by her. Instead, she curled up into his embrace.
