Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 408

"Change what? Change to love me? Change to like me? Or force yourself to do something that you don't like? Rick, don't make things difficult for yourself, and don't make things difficult for me too."

"Okay, then I won't change, and I won't love you either. When it's over, I'll let you go."

Kendall really couldn't understand. Rick had always been a clear-headed person. How could he be so lost when it came to love? She smiled bitterly and said, "Rick, I don't care who locked me up, whether it was Avery, Anne, Braden, or even Shane and Charlotte. Even if they send me to jail, I'm okay with that. But you know what? It can't be you."

"Kendall." Rick's expression turned cold. "I did make a mistake that night. I thought I didn't hurt you. But the truth is, everything I did to you was hurting you. I admit it, and I'm willing to pay the price for it. But can you give me another chance?"

"Having been with you for so long, if what I gave you were not chances, then what were they?" Kendall blinked. Her eyelashes, which looked like butterfly wings, were damp with a thin layer of tears. "Rick, don't you know how much I like you?"

Rick was silent. When he was about to say something, he saw a wound on her ankle. He leaned over, held her ankle, and lifted it to eye level. "What happened to your ankle? When did you hurt yourself?"

"Way back," she said, wanting to pull back her foot.

"Don't move. It seems like the wound is not completely healed. Did you scratch it?"

Kendall did not speak and only pursed her lips.

Rick looked at her and shook his head with a sad smile. "You probably got injured when you left me or before you left me. To remind yourself how much you hate me and how big of a jerk I am. That's why you keep scratching your wound, right?"

"Why are you still asking when you already know?" She turned her head away stubbornly. Her eyes were red and swollen. "Let me go."

"I'm sorry." Rick wrapped gauze around her wound after he sterilized it. "I've never expected things to turn out this way."

Rick finished his sentence with a hoarse voice. He then put her leg down and got up, his face pale. Because he had been squatting for too long, he felt dizzy and staggered a little. "Kendall, rest well in here. Don't go out for the time being. I won't come here, and I respect your decision. I will explain it to you after this."

Kendall pursed her lips.

"Charlotte and Shane will be here soon. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask them."

Rick left the room in a hurry.

If Zayden's appearance was a heavy blow on him, then the wound on her ankle was a shame to him. He had never expected that one day he would force a woman who loved him deeply to harm herself and remember how much of a bastard he was. He had always thought that he could retain a perfect relationship with everyone. Even with Charlotte, he hadn't argued with her to the point where they wouldn't talk to each other.

But when it came to Kendall, he could still choose to hurt her again when she had risked everything for him.

He shouldn't have.

Charlotte and Shane rushed to Rick's house. Charlotte was startled when she saw the bodyguards that surrounded the house. She turned sideways and said, "Shane, the fishpeople aren't a big threat to Rick, are they? Isn't it a bit too much for him to do this?" "I'm afraid it's not because of the fishpeople."

Not because of the fishpeople...

Charlotte lifted her head thoughtfully. Suddenly, she thought of someone and said in surprise, "Is it because he went to look for Kendall and took her here? Then it makes sense that he called us over. Well, this is definitely not because of the fishpeople incident. It's because of Kendall and the Stevens Family."

"Yes." Shane nodded.

"But this has nothing to do with us. He should have looked for Avery instead." Charlotte couldn't help but sigh.

However, the thing was that no one had seen Avery for the past two days. Even Sheryl and Olive did not know where he was all day long.

When Rick saw the two of them coming, he got up from the chair and went to greet them. "Kendall is upstairs. I invited both of you here to tell her about the current situation. She wouldn't listen to me and kept wanting to go out."

"Rick, she wouldn't listen to you because you're Rick, not because of what happened to the Stevens Family." As a very sensible person, Charlotte brutally told him the truth.

"I know..." Rick sighed. "That's why I hope the two of you could come over." "I can help you calm Kendall down and let her stay here, and then? I hope you can think about this problem."

Charlotte said as she walked up the stairs.

Shane didn't go upstairs. He was different from Charlotte. Kendall had offended him before, so he would never help him. He would never forgive a person who had hurt his girl, even if his girl had already chosen to be a saint and forgive her.

Shane found a seat and sat down. Then, he took out a book as usual. Before he started to read, Rick sat down opposite of him.
