Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 204

After the engagement, Rick stayed to see off the guests while Anne took Charlotte home. He was afraid if they stayed longer something might happen due to the threat. He would feel much better if they were both at home.

After the last person left, Rick stared at the empty church hall. He didn't feel as happy as he had imagined.

Everyone had witnessed him fulfil his wish and realised his dreams. He shouldn't be in such a low mood.

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He quickly collected his thoughts and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"It's done," It was Shane.

Rick smiled. "Yes, it's done."

Shane was standing in a tall building in the capital of another country. He looked out at the skyscrapers and said, "I mean I'm done with my business. You can have your shares back." "Do I look like someone who makes vain promises?"

"True gold fears no flame."

What he meant was someone of integrity would not be afraid of any accusation.

Rick looked at the white rose in his hand. He felt Shane was really very interesting.

If Shane did not accept his offer and announced the truth about Sheryl at the ceremony, he would be deemed a hypocrite. So, he had no choice but to accept his situation.

However, if Shane took all of his shares because of this, he would no longer be a man of honour.

So the gentleman thing to do was take the shares and complete his goal, then offer to return Rick the shares.

"I also don't want to be the bad guy. Just think of it as helping me manage my finances."

"Are we that close?"

"In the future, I will be taking care of your daughter for you."

Shane kept quiet for some time before saying, "Take good care of them."

Rick was about to answer "I will", but Shane had already ended the call. He ended it so quickly it was as if he was afraid of hearing the answer.

Rick was stunned for a moment, then put his phone back in his pocket. He should go home.

A home where she's at.

Because of Blake's letter, Charlotte had become a little paranoid.

If Anne wanted to go to the supermarket alone, she had to be followed by bodyguards.

Anne complained relentlessly, "My brother isn't as nervous as you. You're too immersed in your role as my sister-in-law."

"I'm worried about you." Charlotte reached out her hand and pinched her waist as she continued, "As your best friend."

"Sure, but I just wanted to buy something at the supermarket." Anne picked up a small piece of bread and looked at Charlotte blankly.

Charlotte felt a little awkward. She crossed her arm around Anne's and smiled lightly. "It's all for the sake of your safety."

Anne rolled her eyes.

She was about to lecture Charlotte on how they shouldn't be paranoid when receiving such letters. These people were just threatening with words. Besides Rick would take care of it.

But Charlotte's phone suddenly rang.

Charlotte let go of Anne and took out her mobile phone. She quickly answered it when she saw it was Rick. "Rick?"

"Yes," Rick answered. "Where are you and Anne?"

"I told the butler Anne was going to the market so I asked some bodyguards to come along with us."

Rick, who was on the other end, breathed a sigh of relief and said tiredly, "Come back soon."

"You sound very tired..." Charlotte was worried.

"Yes, I'll take a nap first." Rick ended the call directly.

Rick sounded a little cold. Was he tired because of the wedding ceremony?

Charlotte didn't quite understand him.

Anne, who was next to her, asked weirdly, "Why do you still call me brother Rick?

Shouldn't you be calling him hubby?"

Hubby?

Charlotte was startled by this word. She blurted, "Nonsense."

"You're already married. Isn't it normal for you to address each other more intimately?"

Charlotte was stunned.

They got married.

Yes, she was already married to him.
