Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 416

Zayden shook his head. "I have a younger sister. She likes sweet things a lot, so I usually prepare something for her in the car."

"Where is she now?" Kendall asked.

"She... is dead."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know. I... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to bring it up."

"I'm fine." Zayden smiled, but the light in his eyes was very dull. "She was kidnapped and forced to sleep with that man. She couldn't stand the humiliation and committed suicide. I thought that I had forgotten about her. It was not until I saw you that I realized that I had not actually forgotten her."

Kendall was reminded of Irena when Zayden mentioned his younger sister. Zayden said that he only remembered it when he saw her. Kendall asked tentatively, "Is it Irena? I, uh, I'm not trying to pry. It's just that you said you thought of it because of me. Irena was the same. I don't have a good relationship with Avery, but I know about it because Avery loves Irena very much."

"Shouldn't your first reaction be to wonder why my last name is Crawford and hers is Chambers?"

Zayden turned on the car's engine.

"Avery told us that she wasn't brought up by both her birth parents. Her mother raised her with her stepfather. Although their financial situation wasn't as good as before, her stepfather liked her a lot and they lived a happy life. It was also because of her birth family that she became acquainted with my brother." Kendall sighed. "It's a pity that I've never met her."

Zayden gave her a sideways glance. "Your relationship with Avery doesn't seem good."

"I'm not the same as my brother." Kendall's voice was very soft. She didn't think that this was something to be proud of. "Regardless of whether it's from my brother's or Avery's standpoint, I feel that it's too much of a pity. Irena is too pitiful, so I don't want to stand on that side."

"I knew there was a reason I like you so much, Kendall."

"... Do you really like me?"

"Of course."

"Are you sure? Do you want me to like you so that it will be easier to avenge your sister?"

He had this kind of idea before.

Later on, he found out that she was as guileless as his sister. In the end, he could not do it.

Zayden rolled up his sleeves and showed his arms. On his well- defined and muscled arms, there was a very beautiful green dragon. The lines of the tattoo were beautiful and the details stunning. What was more, his muscles were like mountains and moved as he flexed. The dragon seemed alive.

"Do you think that I need to use you to take revenge on you or your elder brother?"

Kendall blinked and said with an embarrassed smile, "It seems that you don't."

"So, Kendall. I would like to ask you what you think of Rick."

"What?"

"Aren't you going out for dinner with me in the middle of the night for Rick? Do you think it's right for you to have to do so?"

Kendall was silent for a while. She clenched her fists and raised her head. She looked at Zayden firmly and said, "Whether it is right or not, I like him very much. I used to think that I could just walk away if he hurt me. But I was fooling myself. As long as he wants me back, I will return to him."

"Even if he stays with you because of guilt?"

"I don't care why."

Zayden sighed. "You could have had a better life."

Kendall didn't say anything.

Zayden took Kendall to a Michelin star barbecue restaurant.

Kendall really didn't expect that there were barbecue restaurants with two Michelin stars. Both the decoration and the waiters here exuded a kind of superior air, which was very exquisite. It didn't look like a place to eat barbecue at all.

It was the first time she had come to a place like this, so she was shy as she looked around.

When he saw this, Zayden grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side. "Don't worry, this is mine."

"What? This two Michelin star restaurant?"
