Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 270

It was a little late when Shane returned to the country, but Charlotte still asked Rick whether he wanted to meet up. Rick directly asked her for the address and said that he would arrive in half an hour.

Charlotte put down her phone and walked to the open kitchen. She placed her coffee cup in the coffee machine and pressed the button. The entire room was filled with the fragrance of coffee beans. After she made her coffee, she walked into the living room. Shane was wearing a casual robe as he leaned against the back of the sofa, looking a little lazy.

She placed the cup of coffee by his hand and said, "You're already so tired, why did you ask me to ask Rick if he wants to come?"

"Isn't it better to settle things earlier?"

"But, you look very tired..." Charlotte absentmindedly reached out her hand and touched the space between his eyebrows. She used her fingertip to outline the shape of his eyebrows.

Shane stared at her soulfully, but he didn't stop her. He watched as her fingers slid all the way down and finally stop on his chin. Only then did he tremble as if he had just woken from a dream. She stopped hurriedly and retracted her hand. Shane covered her hand with his.

Their eyes met.

Charlotte didn't dare to blink, nor did she dare to look at him. She closed her eyes in fear, but it looked as if she was looking for a kiss.

Shane leaned over and kissed her on the lips. He let go of her hand and grabbed her waist. "If the Jane Corporation leaves the Asia Pacific region, it will only be good for us."

"So, you are helping him to get to know his plans better?"

"From what I know of Rick, he would liquidate his Asia Pacific region company and leave the country soon after our press conference."

This time, Charlotte did not ask why.

She knew that Rick had deep feelings for her. In her heart, she thought he really wouldn't keep Kendall by his side, even after he helped protect Kendall. But, in actuality, he had done it.

The light in Charlotte's eyes gradually dimmed.

"The man behind this scheme is not so simple," Shane said.

"Could it be Christopher?" "He might not be so shrewd." "In my opinion, they're all good people. Whether by my side or by yours, they're all..." Charlotte didn't know what to say.

It was like they had suddenly found out that someone was a murderer. The person had always done good things and was a charitable person. But the reason they had killed was very simple — they just wanted to.

Wasn't that ridiculous?

In her heart, she felt that Christopher and Rick's actions were just as ridiculous as this concept.

"Good people don't make mistakes?" Shane asked back.

"Um..."

"You didn't get along well with my mother before. Don't you care for her now?"

"That's because I've always thought that she was a good person. She is just a bit stubborn."

Really?

If she knew that Raina had once hurt Sheryl, would she still think that way?

Shane felt that Charlotte thought too much in black and white. Good was good and bad was bad. She was too naive.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Charlotte left Shane's embrace, straightened her clothes, and went to open the door.

Rick stood outside the opened door. He raised his head and smiled at her. "Lottie."

Charlotte silently took a step back. She pulled the door fully open to make it easier for him to walk inside. "The slippers are on the shoe rack. You can take them yourself."

As she spoke, she walked back to Shane and sat down beside him.

Rick changed his shoes and looked around the room.

The style of design was not forbidding, but it was a style that was more trendy a few years ago, which meant that Shane had bought this house a few years ago. It was not the house he bought with Charlotte.

Rick walked inside and went to the living room after passing the open kitchen and the connected dining room. The aroma of coffee and dessert tempted his taste buds.

He sat down and took out a thick stack of paper from a folder. "These are the people I'm sure are with me. None of them hired an assassin. None of them had suspicious movements in their accounts. Of course, the movements in my accounts are also recorded in detail here." "Mr. Jane, you are so generous." Shane didn't move to study it.

That Rick would bring it over for him to see indicated that he was confident in these documents.

Rick said with a wry smile, "Since I asked you for help, I have to show some sincerity too. I know that you have been holding a grudge against Joe. Back then, he kidnapped you and killed many people. With the Fuller family and Stevens family's influence, he still escaped the law. Now he's back again. You..."
