Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 224

When Shane ended the call, his lips slightly turned upward at the corners. He looked up and happened to see himself in the rearview mirror.

He was stunned. Looking at the corners of his mouth, he instantly calmed his composure and started the car.

Sheryl returned the phone to Charlotte, but she didn't talk to her. Instead, she turned around and went back to the children's playground.

Charlotte couldn't help but feel helpless. She didn't know what she had done wrong to make this little fellow angry at her.

Soon, Shane arrived.

Charlotte was keeping an eye on Sheryl with her chin propped on her palms when she suddenly felt that the people around her stopped talking. There was also a familiar scent.

She turned around subconsciously.

"Shane." There was a hint of frustration in her tone.

"What's wrong?" "Sheryl has been begging to see you for the entire day. I'm obviously her mother."

Shane's cold expression softened a little. He raised his slender fingers, which were hanging at his side, and waved. "Sheryl."

Sheryl, who was playing in the playground, heard his voice and immediately stopped what she was doing. She ran towards Shane and jumped into his arms.

"Daddy!"

"Miss me?"

"Yes! Daddy is the best!"

Charlotte sighed and said sourly, "Sheryl, I really raised you for nothing. You're so heartless."

"What does that mean?" Sheryl asked, tilting her head.

"Forget it."

Charlotte left the pair behind and walked forward on her own.

Sheryl wrapped her arms around Shane's neck and asked cutely, "Daddy, is mommy jealous?"

"Who did you learn that from?"

"From TV series."

"Don't watch those ridiculous series."

The little fellow shrank at those words. It was rare for daddy to be so serious...

Even if Charlotte was angry, Sheryl was still the most important thing to her. That was what Shane firmly believed in.

As long as Sheryl was standing here, Charlotte could never successfully avoid him.

And as long as she didn't refuse him entirely, he still stood a chance.

Soon, Sheryl was tired of playing and the three of them went back to the new house that Charlotte had rented.

At first, Charlotte thought that Shane would be very critical about the house and say that it wasn't good here and there, but he didn't. He casually sat down on the sofa, looking as if he was expecting her to make tea for him.

Charlotte put Sheryl back to her bedroom and went into the kitchen to make a pot of tea. She then returned to the living room with the teapot and teacups.

"I only have jasmine tea left. I know that you like to drink green tea, but I..."

Shane looked up at her and interrupted her directly, "How are you going to settle things between you and Rick?"

Charlotte choked and lowered her eyes with a wry smile. "It's too late now. How can I even settle it? Even Anne doesn't talk to me anymore. This is my punishment, and I deserve it. I have a confusing relationship with you and enjoyed his affection at the same time. How can there be such a great thing?"

He suddenly stood up and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't, don't..." She struggled.

"I can help you."

"What's the price for that? Do I trade that with myself? Do you think so lowly of me in your heart?" She laughed.

Shane frowned and said, "You could be counted as my subordinate in the partnership. In terms of personal relationships, I clearly have a better relationship with Sheryl. You were once my personal secretary too."

Charlotte looked at him with a smile, but she was on the verge of tears, her voice choked with sobs. "I also wish that our relationship is as simple as that. If I wasn't drunk the first time, and the second time you didn't... I would really ask you to help me."

"..." He pursed his lips.

"Sorry, I've already upset Rick once. I don't want it to happen the second time. Before I settle everything, I hope that we're not even normal friends."

"What about Sheryl?"

This was his last trump card.

If she didn't even care about her daughter's opinion, he could only watch her struggle in the business market on her own.

How could she manage to carry a company with such weak shoulders?

"Mr. Fuller, Rick used to ask me why I didn't have time to take care of Sheryl, but you, the director of NC, have time to take care of my child. Can you provide an explanation?"

"I have a professional CEO."

"So does that mean that the success you've achieved to this day is all thanks to this professional CEO? Then why no other company wanted to hire him?"
