Charlotte took a deep breath and shook her head.
She didn't know if she was his wife, or their child's mother, or just... lovers.
Shane planted his feet on the ground and bent down again to kiss her again. His mouth was cold, and the gash on the inside of her lips felt a little numb. Charlotte's body went rigid, her hands gripped his sleeve uneasily.
He deepened the kiss, and at the same time his fingers crept into her clothes.
Heat consumed her body and Charlotte pleaded in a breathy voice, "Not here."
Shane's hold slackened, the emotions still evident in his eyes. "Does it really not hurt?"
She shook her head. "Yes."
"Do you have an answer now?"
"You act as if I'm unimportant, as if our relationship doesn't matter. I was just a little confused, so I said those words to Zoe. " She couldn't live without him. She felt at peace when she was with him.
If he wasn't by her side, or if she couldn't get in touch with him, she would feel uneasy and agitated.
But as long as he was here, it would be fine even if they had nothing to do with each other.
Shane was silent, his fingers gently stroking her lips. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous. I'm just..."
At this moment, Cole barged through the door and panted heavily. He didn't even apologize. "Mr. Fuller, there's someone here to see you."
Shane loosened his hold on Charlotte and turned to look at Cole. "It had better be someone important."
"It's Heidi."
The office went silent.
Shane's pupils constricted. She had died in his arms. He knew better than anyone that she did not exist anymore.
Charlotte felt his heart pounding erratically, but he quickly regained control of himself and calmed down.
She gently tugged at his clothes and urged, "Go check it out."
Shane glanced at her in silent warning.
Charlotte swallowed her words. She didn't know why those words provoked him. The look he gave her was fierce.
Ill H
Lets go.
Shane and Cole left.
Charlotte sighed and returned to her seat, but any intention of working had fled her.
She knew that Heidi's death pained Shane when she died in his arms. It was Mrs. Fuller Senior who told her about it, and she did not ask Shane for clarification for fear of distressing him.
While Charlotte was still debating, she picked up her phone and called Avery.
After hearing the purpose of her call, Avery chuckled and said, "Do you need my help checking the mistress' identity?"
"I..."
"Don't worry, Shane is a man of self-restraint. Even if Heidi comes back to life, it may not affect your relationship. I recall that Tiffany escaped from prison."
Hearing this, Charlotte nodded. "Yes."
"Maybe she naively believes that Shane has no ability to resist her sister. It's a pity, this could be a great opportunity. In this case, if Shane finds out about the truth, she will die miserably." Avery felt regretful.
"What if hypnotism is added?" Charlotte asked a question that shocked Avery.
What if.
This matter had something to do with Christopher.
Avery immediately stood and said, "I am going to find Shane now."
Charlotte held her phone and felt upset, but there was nothing she could do. After all, if Shane didn't want to go, she could persuade him to do otherwise.
She only hoped that there would not be any trouble.
Half an hour later, Charlotte received a message from Avery with an address and she immediately rushed over.
It was a villa. At the door, Peter and Zoe were waiting for her.
