Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 325

Rick was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "That's another matter."

"When it comes to Charlotte, it's another matter. Double standards, I tell you." Avery shook his head.

"Let's not talk about this. What did you come to see me about?"

"It's like this, I wanted to ask if you want to have dinner together. I found a good Japanese restaurant. Since you're picking up Kendall, we can go together. I haven't seen her for a long time," Avery said while glancing at his watch. "Anne and Braden should be having jet lag. You leave them be."

"That's fine."

After he finished the call with Avery, Rick went to the Stevens' residence. When they heard that Kendall was going to move to Rick's house, Caleb and Ryland were very happy and kept teasing Kendall.

Rick turned a deaf ear to this, pretending that he did not hear anything at all. It was not until Kendall came out with her luggage that he made a token effort to talk to them both before taking Kendall away.

He put her luggage in the trunk. "Get in the car."

Kendall shook her head. After Rick finished with her luggage, Kendall suddenly went to hug and kiss him.

Rick instinctively turned his head to avoid the kiss. Kendall's eyes widened as she looked at him with hurt in her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Don't you have any shame?" Rick shut the trunk door, grabbed her hand, and got her into the car.

Before Kendall could sit properly, Rick pulled her onto his lap. He held her head and kissed her lips. He deepened the kiss steadily. Kendall felt her whole body weaken, and she relaxed into Rick's embrace.

Avery, who was sitting in the passenger seat, snapped his fingers and said, "Please, can you restrain yourselves a little?"

Kendall screamed. She immediately pushed Rick away and buried her face in her hands.

"Now you feel ashamed?" Rick found her very funny. He took her hands away and hugged her harder. "Come on, relax."

Kendall indeed relaxed obediently into his embrace.

Avery teased and said, "Rick, Kendall is so good to you. She listens to you. If a woman treats me this way, I would definitely forget about Irena."

"Don't joke. Your love for Irena is deeper than my love for money." Rick laughed.

"Wow, I didn't think you loved money."

"Who doesn't love money?"

"I can list out a number of people, such as Shane. Or perhaps Shane. Maybe Shane?" Avery deliberately mentioned Shane and kept emphasizing his name.

When she heard Shane's name, Kendall sneered unhappily. She reached out to hold Rick's finger.

Rick patted her head and said, "I can't compare with Shane. He can easily let go of his own NC Company. I have to report it to the headquarters if I even want to take a month-long vacation."

"Well, you can still take a month off." Avery snorted, "I still haven't gotten my revenge. I can't even sleep well, much less take a vacation."

"What revenge?" Kendall asked curiously.

"It's better if you don't know about this."

"It has something to do with the Stevens family." Kendall guessed it in one.

Avery just smiled and gave her and Rick a meaningful look. "That's why you'd better not know. Otherwise, how will you face me and Rick?"

"I'm not afraid of you guys. It's just that I don't know how to face my family. Also..." Kendall thought of that woman's name, but she could not be bothered to say it. She turned her body and kept resolutely quiet.

"Kendall, no matter how good you and Rick's relationship is in the future, you won't be able to enter our circle."

"Avery." Rick frowned.

"I'm different from you. I'm not good at sweettalking children. Besides, don't you think it's better to make things clear?" Avery winked at Kendall and said, "Child, what do you think?"

"What, what do you mean by a child?" Kendall thought.

Kendall glared at him, "I'm not a child. Furthermore, I don't want to enter your circle. If you and Charlotte aren't happy, you can sue me again. Besides, there's no one protecting me right now. Just lock me up, it's what I owe you anyway!" "If you knew that you would owe her, why did you kidnap Sheryl?" Avery sneered.

"I just can't stand that she thinks of Rick as a spare tire. What if I kidnapped Sheryl? After I kidnapped her, Charlotte sued me while Rick and my family protected me. What's wrong with that?"
