Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 194

"I..." Charlotte tried to explain herself further.

"Or give me the answer after Shane's wedding."

They were going to Shane's wedding?

Charlotte was scared out of her wits.

Rick continued, "Mr. Fuller gave me an invitation with both our names."

"Can I not go?"

"This wedding is said to be a set- up. According to some sources, Shane was threatened and this wedding was planned to let the person get close to him."

"Then isn't he..." Charlotte was surprised.

"Yes, he might die if something happens. Then, you wouldn't even need to make a decision."

Charlotte was quiet.

Rick picked up some spicy wings, placed them on the plate and ate them.

The spice was quite numbing.

It would make his stomach uncomfortable.

But it made his heart feel better.

"Okay." Charlotte suddenly became determined. "I'll give you the answer after the wedding."

Rick continued to eat his chicken wings.

Charlotte suddenly stretched out her hands and took his food from him. It was so spicy she spat it out after she took a bite.

Rick held his head in his hand and looked at her calmly. "Why did you steal my food?"

"I thought it looked spicy but you seemed to like it so I wanted to try it too," she said as she took a big sip of her soft drink. "It's so spicy."

"Are you stupid?"

"I'm just curious."

Rick smiled helplessly and said, "All right, enjoy your meal. There's still a lot of work back in the company."

"Sure!"

Rick's attitude towards her was neither cold nor hot, but Charlotte was already happy he was talking to her.

While their relationship did not return to how it used to be, he was no longer cold towards her. She couldn't ask for more. She just hoped Rick wouldn't be hurt.

It would be great if she didn't need to make a decision.

She really felt that she was not worthy of being with Rick.

On Shane's wedding day, the mainstream media reported on the news wildly.

The youngest and most promising bachelor in River City was getting married.

The bride was a celebrity with a dreadful reputation.

Charlotte didn't think much about it. She simply came here as Rick's companion. Her main purpose was to eat and drink as much as she could.

She thought that Shane's wedding should be very luxurious and spectacular but from the layout to the buffet, only one word could describe it -cheap.

Perhaps even an ordinary person would find it hard to accept such a wedding.

Moreover, why would they choose to serve a buffet-style dinner at a wedding held in River City?

People were walking back and forth. It didn't feel like the usual River City.

Besides...

Braden and Christopher weren't here...

"Rick, this doesn't look like Shane's wedding but my sore loser cousin's," Charlotte whispered to the man beside her.

This made no sense.

"We'll find out later."

She thought of what Rick said before about how someone was threatening Shane, she instantly felt uneasy and nervous for him.

Her gaze searched amongst the crowd.

She thought she would be able to immediately identify the person who wanted to hurt Shane.

As more and more people came, word started to spread on the internet.

Many people's reactions were similar to Charlotte's. They thought that this wedding was too simple and crude. It doesn't seem like Shane at all to be so cheap. Some even speculated that Shane must've not like Tiffany.

Soon, it came to the part for the announcement.

Everyone sat on the pews of the church, Shane and Tiffany stood in the middle, surrounded by flower girls and page boys.

The sun shone through the glass windows of the church.

The man was tall, handsome, and dressed in a black tuxedo.

The woman was wearing a white wedding dress. She appeared to look more pure and innocent.

Charlotte stared blankly at the two of them. The corners of her lips curled up slightly but the rims of her eyes turned red.

Such a beautiful scene made her heart fill with envy.

Suddenly...

She saw someone from the corner of her eyes walking through the sides of the pews. There seemed to be something in his hand. Her heart tightened and instinctively tried to get up.

"Don't go." Rick held her hand.

"Rick, that man is acting weird, he..."

"Are you going to leave me alone?"

However!

The man was getting closer and closer to Shane.
