Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 196

Sheryl pouted at the mention of her mother. "She hasn't came home for three days. I asked Aunt Jane, she said mummy was very busy."

"It's true. She's studying for a degree in International Economics. The professor is even introduced by Avery," Braden immediately explained as he was afraid Shane would misunderstand. "It's not easy for her to be alone. She can't survive in the Jane Corporation without any background."

"She's working so hard, she even forgot her daughter?"

"Ugh, Shane, think about it, she might be a little bit busier but she's now an independent woman. She just doesn't have the time to care for her child, it's better than having her dealing with bad men or selling her soul."

Shane pursed his lips.

The way he looked at the little girl was much softer. "Now who sends and brings you home from school?"

"Aunt Jane!" She replied.

"She won't play with you?"

"She does but I still miss daddy and mommy..." Sheryl lowered her head. "My friends at school always had their daddy and mommy to pick them up but I don't."

Alas!

Braden couldn't stand to see the sad look on Sheryl's face as if he was a wicked uncle.

Shane stroked her back gently and said, "But it's too dangerous for you to come alone. Don't do this again."

"I'm not alone."

"Huh?" Shane frowned.

Sheryl took out her phone and dialled a number.

Outside the door, a cell phone rang.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned towards the door.

Avery, who was wearing a bare-chested dress, walked up gracefully. He flipped his long hair and smiled. He raised his hands towards them and said, "Hello."

Christopher was speechless.

Braden widened his eyes.

Shane turned around silently. "Don't follow him around in the future." "But Aunt Avery treats me very well."

Aunt Avery.

Braden spat out a mouthful of water and asked, "Avery, why are you so shameless? I mean you are already quite good-looking in your usual outfits. What's up with your clothes today?"

Avery's broad chest was exposed showing some defined lines. It was a truly astonishing sight.

Avery wasn't even angry. He smiled as he sat down on the sofa, "I came here because I wanted to give Mr. Fuller a recording. You can either get rid of me or let me take Sheryl home after listening to it. It's up to you."

Sheryl wrapped her arms around Shane's neck.

It wasn't easy for her to persuade someone to bring her out.

She didn't want to go back.

"What recording?" Shane asked.

"Mr. Collins, Mr. Gibson, please leave the room."

Braden grabbed Christopher and left.

What a joke.

He didn't want to see this 'mouth-watering' Avery for even another second.

As soon as the two of them left, Avery directly pressed play on the recording pen.

It was the conversation between Charlotte and Anne.

Charlotte finally admitted she had contracted a pelvic inflammatory disease under pressure. It was then followed with Anne cursing Shane.

Shane's face remained blank when he heard this.

The second recording was between Charlotte and Rick. They were simply talking about her pelvic inflammatory disease. Rick asked, "You may have fully recovered but... do you really want him to be oblivious to all the hurt he caused you?"

"We're about to get married. I don't care what he thinks. I just want to be your wife."

"All right."

At this point, Shane's anger was evident.

Avery curled his lips. Here came the good part.

Rick asked again, "If that's the case, why did you persuade the Gibson Family to join the Airline Union?"

"Rick, I can't blame the father of my child and I can't deal with him on my own. He's like a god to me, so I could only vent my anger on Christopher. Think about it, if it weren't for Christopher, I wouldn't be so miserable. Besides, he's the mastermind behind Elaine."

"In other words, you did it for revenge?"

"That's right."

"Study hard for the next two days. I'll handle the affairs between the Gibson Family and Emerson Corporation."

Shane's expression darkened and his breathing became heavier.
