Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 199

"You won't win."

"No one knows that."

Rick sent Shane back home but he had no intention to leave.

Shane didn't invite him in but Rick entered the house on his own.

There were traces of Charlotte's life here everywhere. Some items she bought were even expired but Shane did not throw them away.

Rick saw that there was a candle on the table and there were many boxes of the same candles in the living room.

It was the same in the bathroom. There were still some unfinished shampoos but he had already prepared new ones.

Air fresheners, perfumes, towels...

They were exactly the same.

"Did you do this yourself?" Rick didn't find it romantic, he even thought Shane was out of his mind.

He was obsessed with Charlotte yet he still wanted to hurt her. What kind of a lunatic does that?

Shane walked into the study alone without paying any attention to Rick. Rick looked around outside and followed him into the study.

Shane made a cup of tea and sat before the computer as he looked at information on the Airline Union.

Rick sat down and stared at him quietly.

After a while.

Rick's phone rang.

He picked it up.

"We're already home," Charlotte said as she looked helplessly at Anne winking at her. "Um, when are you coming home? Anne wanted to know."

Rick didn't put the call on hands- free but Shane could hear because they were very close, Shane could hear Charlotte's voice.

"I just sent Shane home. He is so drunk that he needs someone to take care of him."

"Is it inconvenient for you? If not you can call the housekeeper."

"There's no need. I don't think Mr. Fuller would want anyone else to touch him."

"You're right. He is quite particular. You should come home earlier. Don't be late. We'll go to bed first."

"All right."

After he ended the call, he stood up.

Shane put down the document and looked at his back. "Did you follow me just to let me hear this phone call?"

"Mr. Fuller, I hope you understand, she has someone who cares for her and loves her. She also has her own family and career. So don't do anything immoral."

Immoral?

Shane's eyes turned cold and his face darkened.

The two of them lunged at each other.

They didn't know who was the first to attack.

Finally, Rick leaned against the wall panting hard. There was a trace of blood on his forehead.

Shane stood with his hands in his pockets as if he was a high and mighty lord.

Rick's clothes were a little ragged. He tidied up himself and wiped the blood away from his forehead. "I didn't expect you to like solving problems the violent way."

"I'm looking forward to the fight with you."

Rick walked away with a hand on his stomach. His body felt uncomfortable as he was kicked by Shane just now.

After Shane saw him off, he turned around and swept everything on the table onto the floor.

He released all his rage through his actions.

Everything turned into trash under his anger.

Rick...

If they go against each other and he won, he would obtain a huge price. But if he lost, there would be a heavy price to pay. However, according to the situation of the NC company and Jane Corporation, it's hard to say who would win or lose.

They were both stuck in a hard spot as both of them didn't want Charlotte to lose her status and right to speak.

If...

Rick didn't respond to his attack.

What would Charlotte think?

What would the public think?

Shane was holding back his anger. He can't say anything nor vent his anger.

He still owed Charlotte a mountain full of debt. It burdened him until he couldn't breathe and at the same time tormented his heart.

After Charlotte got out of bed, she played with Sheryl for some time. The kid was overjoyed when she saw her mommy, she kept whispering into Charlotte's ear.

By the time Charlotte left, Rick was still not home.

Initially, she wanted to ask him what happened with Shane but she remembered it was a sensitive topic for Rick so she decided not to ask.

After she returned to school, Charlotte put all her energy into her studies.
