Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 428

Avery sent a picture of Sheryl and Freddie to Charlotte. When she woke up, she immediately saw Avery's message. Seeing that Sheryl was happy, she felt happy too. However, her happy mood did not even last for a few seconds. She could not grasp the feeling of happiness.

Charlotte put down her phone and went to stand by the window. She looked at the scenery outside but felt empty inside.

Suddenly, someone lifted her off the ground, forcefully moving her away from the window. She was confused. "Shane, what are you doing?"

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Charlotte turned around and met his cold gaze. Puzzled, she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I just wanted to breathe some fresh air. Why did you carry me away all of a sudden? Are you insane?"

Shane didn't like explaining himself. Even though she said those words, he still didn't speak. Charlotte didn't bother to pay attention to him. So, she pushed him away and went back to bed angrily. During dinner time, she broke all the plates and dropped all the food. Not long after the nurses finished cleaning up, she dropped a second portion.

But Shane was rich. He kept buying more food when she kept ruining them. In the end, Charlotte was so angry that she experienced yet another shock.

"I don't think you're suitable to take care of people," the doctor said bluntly. "You're always standing on the opposite side of the patient. How can her anxiety be eased that way?"

But now, who else could take care of her except him?

Shane massaged his temples and said, "Doctor, I just want her to eat."

"Do you not know how to have a good conversation with others? You shouldn't be asking her if she wants to eat or sleep. And you also shouldn't be pressing her onto the bed or forcing her to eat nutritious meals that she doesn't like at all. She doesn't need to take care of her diet now. It's already a tough job for her to stay alive."

Back to the ward.

Shane stopped at Charlotte's bedside. She turned to the other side of the bed, ignoring him.

He lowered his gaze and said, "I'm sorry."

"You were right. I know that I'm crazy. The doctor said that something's wrong with my brain recently, so can you just leave me alone?"

"What should I do?" Shane suddenly held her shoulders and said, "I don't know what to do. There's no formula. I can't find answers in my books either. This is my first time as a father, and the first time being in a relationship. I know I hurt you, and I..."

Forget it.

There was no point in saying these.

He slowly let go of her and said, "I will not leave you alone."

Charlotte was annoyed, so she covered her head with the quilt.

That night.

After she fell asleep, Shane called Braden to the bar.

Silently, he drank bottle after bottle. Braden and Anne, who were beside him, felt sorry for his stomach even when they saw him.

"What the hell is going on?" Anne couldn't help but ask.

"What else can it be? Ask your bestie." Braden sighed. "Rick had just recovered. And now, something's happening to Charlotte. The two of them are really..."

Shane froze when he heard this. After a while, he said with a self-deprecating smile, "Should I have helped them at that time?"

"That's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand, okay," Braden immediately stated. "I think that you and Charlotte were born to be together. Don't break up just because of what I said."

"Where is Rick?"

"He should be making babies with Kendall at this hour." Braden said seriously, "Please don't ruin other people's happiness."

Shane looked at him with disdain, "I'm just trying to ask him for help. What are you thinking about?"

"I think you will kill Kendall any time soon and then throw Rick onto Charlotte's bed." Braden had never kept his mouth shut, so his words were always unfiltered and random.

"I'm not that crazy."

"You will only be crazier than this."

Shane didn't bother to reply to him this time. He continued drinking.

After a while.

Braden couldn't hold it back anymore. He asked, "Buddy, can you tell me what's going on?"

After hearing Shane's explanation, Braden's head was about to explode. "There's no way she was shocked because of something like this. I suspect

that she might have recalled some traumatic events. You might have reminded her of something from the past for keeping those two incidents from her."

Something from the past?

Her... parents?

Shane suddenly recalled Charlotte saying that he would never treat her nicely because he was so cruel toward Mrs. Fuller Senior.

Was it because her father might have given up on her mother for some reason and caused her mother to die of an illness that caused her to recall the event? And that was why she no longer trusted him and regretted giving him all her heart. Was that what triggered her?

Shane thought that was very likely.
