Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 257

Charlotte arrived at the event venue and parked the car. She didn't see anyone there.

Why was it empty?

On the way to the door, she did not see a single person.

"Strange, isn't anyone here for the musical?" Charlotte muttered as she walked inside.

According to the writing on the ticket, she went to the right hall.

Cole had been waiting there for a long time. He smiled and handed some breakfast to Charlotte. "This is the breakfast that Mr. Fuller prepared for you."

It was her favorite ham and egg sandwich and a glass of some Barker's lemon coffee.

Charlotte took it and said, "Thank you, but why is there no one here?"

"About that, Mr. Fuller said you'll find out after you go in."

She'd find out after she goes in?

Had Shane prepared a surprise for her?

Charlotte walked into the hall with breakfast in her

hands.

There was still no one inside. The seats and stage were empty, and even the lights had not been turned on. Only some weak lights led her to one of the seats. It was barely enough for her to walk without tripping over something.

Charlotte walked towards her seat. Only after she sat down did she realize that there were roses on both the seats next to her.

Would Shane do such a romantic thing?

She laughed and put the coffee cup into the seat's cupholder.

After she waited for several minutes, the lights from before were also turned off.

In the pitch-black space, there was only the sound of her own heartbeat. Charlotte was a little nervous. She had a vague idea of what Shane was going to do.

Suddenly.

Countless lights on the stage lit up in an instant and focused in the center.

The curtains went up to reveal a man in a tuxedo sitting in front of the piano. He opened the cover elegantly, took off the cloth on the piano keys, and put his long fingers on the black and white keys.

Melodious music sounded.

Charlotte's eyes turned red as she looked at the person on the stage. She raised her hand to rub her eyes, but the more she rubbed her eyes, the more tears came out because of stimulation.

Her breakfast was put aside. She only had eyes for the man on the stage.

Indeed, Shane was amazing at playing the piano. She imagined that he was like a prince in a fairy tale.

All the movements were just right, and there was a sense of pride in him, but the sound of the piano was soft. From time to time, he looked up at a certain point in the air in front of him, as if he was looking at someone amidst the piano's music.

However, there was no sadness in his playing. Instead, it was extremely sweet.

After the song ended, Shane got up and stood on the stage, looking at his special audience.

"This is my answer," he said.

Charlotte knew that she didn't hear what he said clearly. She put down the sandwich and ran towards him. But when she reached the bottom of the stage, she didn't have the courage to get up and hug him, to share with him her excitement and thoughts.

Shane was on stage while Charlotte stood below it. The stage was like an entire galaxy between

them.

Shane suddenly bent down and gave her his hand. Charlotte hesitated and didn't hold onto it.

"Shane, congratulations on letting go of the past," she said.

Shane frowned slightly.

Charlotte sniffed and revealed a smiling face. "I was wondering before if you re- examined the incident back then because... It looks like I'm too sensitive. I should apologize to you."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm fine. It's just that my emotions are a little messy right now," Charlotte said, her eyes turning red again.

This time, she did not use her hand to rub her eyes. Instead, she forcefully suppressed the stinging and the tears in her eyes, forcing herself to smile.

Shane thought she would be very excited or moved, but she wasn't. Her response was like that of a child from an orphanage who was taken back to his new home. She was a mess.

Shane jumped off the stage and held her in his arms. "Don't think too much. You deserve all of this." "I don't deserve you being so nice to me," she said in a choked voice.

"You do." He pressed his lips lightly against her ear. "Charlotte, I want you to be like me, to give up the past and face the future bravely. Even if it's just for the sake of Sheryl, we have to be together."

"But I have nothing. Your family background and your... hmm..."

He stopped her words with a kiss.

He would slowly take care of the Fuller family's affairs.

But he couldn't slow down when it came to her.
