Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 321

Ryan was a little angry. Since he met Charlotte, he had gradually treated her as a friend. Furthermore, he thought her personality was sincere. She didn't look down her nose at him at all.

However, her friend waving a cheque in his face cheapened their friendship to a business deal.

"Sir, I think all good intentions should be rewarded, not to mention that you have inadvertently helped a friend we cherish very much. Whether it is money or other requests, you deserve it." Avery was not in a hurry to hand over the cheque.

He knew if this matter was not handled properly, Charlotte would definitely skin him alive.

After all, Charlotte didn't have many friends. It was very difficult for her to open up to someone. If Ryan was driven away by him, he didn't dare imagine the consequences.

"Will she repay you like this if you had helped her?" Ryan asked.

"Of course. Oh, this was what you meant. Don't worry, this money comes with no strings attached." Avery smiled.

"Is that so?"

"I don't know. According to your logic, I'm in a partnership with Charlotte. When two of us work together, we shouldn't think about profit and loss, but it's impossible."

Avery belonged to the upper crust. He was so wrapped up in self-interest, that he did the same to Charlotte.

However, for ordinary people, that self- interest was synonymous with self- serving and coldblooded indifference.

In the end, Ryan did not accept the cheque. "I don't want this cheque. Can I make a request?"

"Of course."

"I have money and I want to start supplying coffee beans. I need some avenues to get started."

"Ah, well." Avery fished out Charlotte's business card. "This is much more convenient. Charlotte can return this favor herself as she is in the transportation business. Have you thought about it clearly? Do you really not want my cheque?"

Ryan shook his head. "No amount of money in this world is enough."

"Actually, with a few million, you can continue your coffee shop business and invest in property." Avery shrugged.

After all, Charlotte's safety was not something you put a price tag on.

Ryan still shook his head. "That's not the life I want."

"It's hard to choose between working and settling down. But since you've made your choice, I hope everything goes well for you." Avery patted him on the shoulder and said, "I don't have a friend in the coffee business."

As he spoke, Avery left with an umbrella over his head.

Ryan did not know that helping the girl would inadvertently lead to this.

His dream had almost turned into reality. He looked down at the business card in his hand, her frail appearance in his mind.

That man must have meant a lot to her.

Although she was an orphan, she still had a home to run away from. Unlike Evelyn and him who didn't even have a home. • • •

In the villa.

Shane helped Charlotte take a bath, get dressed, and guided her to the sofa.

The doctor once again tended to Charlotte. He touched her forehead and sighed. "What was she thinking?" "Why don't you reprimand Mr. Fuller instead? He'll just ignore you. But if you reprimand Charlotte..." Avery trailed off and raised his brows suggestively.

"Avery, I thought you were quite sensible. Now it seems your vocabulary is similar to Braden." Rick quipped.

"Is it, babe? You dare group Braden in the same league as me? You wound me." Avery sidled up to Rick, and Rick reached out to hold him.

Two of them had their arms around each other.

Shane's eyes were brimming with disgust. Without sparing them a glance, he scooped Charlotte and returned to his bedroom.

Rick pushed Avery away and observed, "You must be worried about Shane."

"According to his temper, when he saw Ryan, he should have given him a combination of punches, interrogated him about what he did to Charlotte, and finally taken her away." Avery shrugged.
