Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 184

When Charlotte returned home, she recalled what Christopher had told her.

Elaine had mocked her mother many times, and she had also heard the conversation on the phone. Even if Christopher hadn't asked Elaine to hurt her mother, was it possible that Elaine did it on her own, but Christopher didn't know about it?

It was possible.

As long as there was this possibility, she would not let Elaine off.

Charlotte clenched her fists and drank cup after cup of water in the kitchen.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

"Don't come over." Charlotte's manner was extremely cold as she turned her head to look at Sheryl. The look she gave was frigid.

Sheryl's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was her Mommy being so mean to her?

She pouted and burst into tears.

Charlotte was agitated by her crying, but she didn't go to sooth the little girl. She was really in a mess now. Children were living, breathing creatures. She had even broken a cup just now. What if she accidentally damaged Sheryl?

Upon hearing the crying, Rick came to the kitchen. He had come back to get some documents and was about to leave. But when he reached the door, he heard Sheryl crying.

He walked over and lifted the little girl into his arms. "Sheryl, don't cry."

"Sob... Mommy is being mean to me. I didn't do anything wrong. Why did she lose her temper with me? I want Daddy. Sob..."

"You don't have a daddy!" Charlotte suddenly exploded and shrieked like a banshee. "Sheryl Emerson, listen very carefully. You don't have a father!"

Sheryl cried even harder, "Sob. You're lying! I have a father, but you played hard to get and drove him away, just like you want to kick me out now!"

Since when did she want to drive the little girl away?

Charlotte said irritably, "You came from my womb. I've raised you with all my heart. Why would I kick you out?"

"Sob..." Sheryl didn't care about this.

Charlotte's head started to ache even more.

Rick kept patting Sheryl's back and said,

"Darling, can I be your Daddy?"

When she heard this, Sheryl immediately stopped crying. At first, she shook her head hard, then nodded and whispered, "I like Daddy. And I like Uncle Rick very much. Can I... can I have both?"

"Of course, I love you very much."

"But I want Mommy to be with Daddy." She sniffed. "Daddy is great and considerate. And he really likes me."

"What if... And I'm only saying 'what if', Mommy doesn't like Daddy but likes Uncle Rick instead? And I really like you too. I can promise you that I'll only have you as my child. I will always love you..."

"If Mommy likes you then I like you too."

Children would be children.

A second ago, she could be crying from a cold glare. The next second, she could be thinking about her mother's future.

Charlotte's eyes suddenly turned red. "Sheryl, I didn't mean to yell at you..."

"Humph." The little girl turned her head away, lay on Rick's shoulder, and whispered to him, "Uncle Knight, you and Mommy are well matched. I have no objection. You can't be mean to me."

This little kid.

Rick touched her head and said, "I love you so much, how could I be mean to you? I know you haven't been able to see your favorite great-grandmother. And now your Mommy's being mean to you. That's why you threw a tantrum."

"Hehe..." The little girl laughed embarrassedly. "Uncle, how did you know that I'm missing Great-grandma."

"You don't have any other friends."

"But, I also heard from Aunt Anne that Greatgrandma has returned to her city." Sheryl lowered her head.

"You can make a video call."

A video call!

It was the first time that Sheryl learned about such a thing.

Rick spent two hours teaching the little girl how to make a video call. She couldn't wait to go call her great-grandmother. She had even called Rick "godfather" in a childish tone. Of course, it was Rick who coaxed her into calling him "godfather".

Rick went back to the kitchen.

When he saw that Charlotte's face was still full of regret, he laughed, "Did you spend two hours standing here all alone?"

Only then did Charlotte return to her senses.

She had been in a daze. She got very tired standing there, but she didn't know where to go. Exhausted, she smiled at him and said, "I'm fine, I..."

"Would you honor me by having a meal with me?"

"Aren't you going back to the office?"

"I'm the CEO. Who's going to fire me?"

Charlotte smiled. That was indeed true.
