Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 264

Shane's phone suddenly rang, and Charlotte was startled. She immediately pushed him on the shoulder and said, "You, your phone is ringing."

Her voice was trembling. She was so shy that she didn't dare to look at him.

It was not the first time she was so close to him, but she could still be shy and avoided looking at him.

Shane didn't answer his phone. Actually, because he was holding her just now, his phone had fallen to the sofa, it was difficult to find his phone so quickly. He didn't bother looking for it. Besides, he didn't have anything urgent to deal with now.

It didn't matter if he didn't answer the phone.

"Aren't you going to answer the phone?" Charlotte was unable to push him away.

"There's no rush."

"What would make you rush?"

"You."

Her?

Why did she feel so anxious?

When Shane saw that Charlotte was at a loss, he wanted to tease her instead. He lowered his voice and said, "You look like you're in a rush."

Charlotte opened her eyes wide in disbelief and stared at Shane's beautiful eyes. She wanted to see the slightest hint of a joke in his eyes. However, he didn't seem affected at all.

How could he say something like that with a straight face?

"I found that I can't act normal when I'm with you."

Shane's long fingers rubbed her chin, and his body slowly leaned towards her. Finally, he laid on her thighs and bent over to kiss her.

Charlotte was stunned.

Shane was lying on her lap, while she bent down to kiss him?

Even in her dreams, she didn't dare imagine this. It was so beautiful.

The distant light was shining on his face, giving him a kind of hazy sense of beauty. And the distance was just right, so she could see all the lines on his face clearly.

"Ah!!!"

An ear- piercing scream interrupted their tender moment.

Charlotte was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

Shane stood up immediately, grabbed the back of her head with his long fingers, and held her in his arms. He pulled her up, and went to the private room's French window. When he stood here, he could see everything on the first floor.

There were many people on the first floor, and the colorful outfits were not as eye-catching as their obscured faces.

In the center of the first floor, there was an empty space. There was no one there, only a bloody corpse. Right then, Shane's phone rang again.

Shane arranged Charlotte to sit on the sofa and bent down to look for the phone in the seam between the sofa cushions. He picked up the phone and put it to his ear. "Avery."

"Something happened. Rick's younger sister was killed."

"Rick's younger sister?" Shane shot a glance at Charlotte.

He knew that it was precisely because Charlotte had a very good relationship with Anne that she knew Rick.

"Do you want to come and have a look?"

"Take her downstairs for a look?" Shane thought.

Shane rejected this idea.

If Anne was killed, Charlotte would probably faint if she saw the scene of the incident. It was better for him to figure out what was going on first.

"I'll come downstairs right away," Shane answered and hit the end call button.

"What's wrong?" Charlotte asked.

"Something happened downstairs. Avery asked me to go down. You can stay up there for a while. If you're hungry, I'll ask Cole to bring you some food."

"Can't I go downstairs with you?" Charlotte blinked her eyes.

Shane put his hands on the back of the sofa and pressed her between himself and the sofa. His cool breath sprayed on her delicate face.

Charlotte suddenly felt like she was drunk. She turned her head away from him and the feeling of his breath.

Shane's lips were right next to her ear. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was very cold. He said-

"Do you want to see the body?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and walked out.

For a moment, Charlotte was a little stunned. When she finally got herself together, she clenched her fists angrily.

Shane!

To one side, Cole was laughing so much that his shoulders shook after seeing the couple bicker.

He really thought that Miss Charlotte was suited to Mr. Fuller. When he was with her, Mr. Fuller could behave childishly. Some people said that men always acted like kids when dealing with the woman they loved. It was only now that Cole realized that Mr. Fuller had a childish side to him.

And this childish side was something only Miss Charlotte could see.
