Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 335

"Rick, I don't think you and Anne are in a good mood today, so I came to ask after you." Braden was holding two cans of beer. "I didn't find anything else at home. Is this okay or do you want to continue drinking coffee?"

Braden was a very friendly person. He didn't care whether Rick needed his companionship or not. He simply sat beside him and opened a can of beer.

Rick usually didn't like this kind of person very much. Uninvited guests were very troublesome for him. But at that moment, he felt that Braden was being quite nice.

He also sat down and picked up a beer. After he opened it, he did not drink it. "I forgot how long I haven't had anything to drink. I think it's been a few months. Kendall is very strict with me."

"I know that you and Shane have always been at odds with each other. I'm his good friend, but you're my brother- in- law. I'm not being biased when I say that Charlotte really isn't a good match for you."

"Is she a good match for Shane?" Rick asked.

"That's not the same. Let me tell you, Charlotte is definitely not a good match for Shane, but there is no other choice. They already have a child together. If the cute little girl pouts and cries, holding her father's thigh and screams about wanting her mother, do you think Shane would be able to resist?" Braden smacked his lips. "If I had a daughter with Anne, I wouldn't even want to bother with anyone in the Collins family. I'd live here with you every day."

"Aren't you living here now?" Rick couldn't help laughing.

"I will go home tomorrow," Braden said sullenly. "I may seem to care about you, but in fact, I come here to talk about my sorrows."

"What's wrong in the Collins family?"

Braden waved his hand. "Let's not talk about such sad things first. Let me talk to you about your situation with Shane and Charlotte. Just tell me if you don't want to hear it."

No one had told him anything about Charlotte. Kendall herself still didn't know anything either. It was impossible to count on her to say something useful. Anne was Charlotte's friend, so she couldn't be objective. As for the other people around her, only her assistant and Avery had a better relationship with Rick. But the assistant couldn't say anything because Charlotte was their superior. The relationship between Avery and

Charlotte was too good as well.

That was why, even if they wanted to say something, they had to look at things from Charlotte's perspective. It was really rare for them to analyze the situation from the perspective of him and Shane.

"Of course I want to," Rick answered without hesitation.

"From the beginning, Charlotte gave me the impression that she wasn't someone to mess with. The way she looked in professional attire really stunned me. It wasn't because of her good looks. I was honestly scared." Braden recalled that the first time he saw Charlotte. It was really shocking.

The main thing was that, the time he met Charlotte for the first time was also when he met Anne for the first time. It was inevitable for him to think of them both.

"Later, after we started to get to know each other, I thought she was very capable. Now I'm still unable to catch up with her. Not to mention, she works overtime even more than you and Shane. Don't expect to wake up and get to eat any breakfast made by her. Wouldn't your heart break for her once you hear her ask after you considerately?"

Rick could not help but nod.

Charlotte was indeed a very hard-working person. After they got engaged, she had thought of the Jane Corporation as her own and worked hard in the company. So at that time, Rick had been moved by this but also felt very sad and depressed.

He really hoped that she would not be so ambitious and put more focus on her private life so that he could still have a chance.

"Then there was the thing with Christopher. Charlotte had a good relationship with Christopher before. It's as if she is a flower. If someone promises sunshine, then she can leave an indelible mark in the heart of that person. Tell me, if Shane and Sheryl didn't exist and there was only Avery, who she met to help you, would you be jealous?"

"I would." He didn't even have to think before he answered. If Avery didn't have Irena, he really would have suspected that Avery and Charlotte had some sort of relationship.

"Shane is slightly better than you on this point. He has a daughter with her, so he has nothing to fear."

Rick nodded again.

Since Shane had Sheryl as his trump card, he was not afraid that Charlotte would leave. After all, as long as he had his daughter wrapped around his little finger, she could get her mother back.

"So just based on these two points, Charlotte is not a good match for either of you. But Shane is very smart. He let Charlotte handle the company herself. That way, as long as Charlotte can't solve a problem, she will have to find him. Therefore, he would have the upper hand."

"But you are different. To put it bluntly, you need someone who can take care of you once you come home from work. Someone who treats you gently. Like a little rabbit."
