Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 460

"Okay, Young Master. I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Skylar acceded respectfully.

"Then go and rest." Avery hung up the phone and texted the address to Charlotte. He asked if she needed any car service. He was around the area and needed a break.

Charlotte immediately agreed and made an appointment with him for lunch. Avery let out a sigh of relief. The most important part of the plan went without a hitch. There was no need for him to worry about the plan anymore.

He would definitely succeed!

The next day.

Charlotte got out of bed, gazed around the empty room, and felt a little dejected. She tried to take her mind off of Shane. She couldn't pine for the days with Shane, otherwise her heart would soften when she saw him in the hospital. Nothing good ever happened to anyone who lowered their guard around Shane. Her thoughts and heart were in a mess.

After hastily finishing her breakfast, Charlotte got someone to host a video conference and made arrangements for tasks to be done in the afternoon. She began to do yoga and before she knew it, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. She took a shower, changed her clothes, and walked to the square next door. She and Avery had agreed to meet at a Japanese restaurant they frequented while they were still on good terms. After he went back to his city, they hadn't been to the restaurant in a while. Now, it was time to revisit their old haunt again.

Charlotte took the liberty to order food. Her stomach was rumbling in hunger but she waited until Avery's tardy arrival, only then did she ask the kitchen to serve the food. After all, Japanese food was best eaten fresh. Some people thought that a minute's delay was intolerable, let alone ten minutes or half an hour. Therefore, the food could only be served when everyone had arrived.

Fortunately, the dishes were served swiftly.

Avery brought a piece of salmon to his mouth and chewed it with a satisfied hum. "Ah, the food still tastes the same as before. You don't know how long I've been dreaming about the food here. The food back there wasn't as delicious."

"Your city isn't exactly lacking compared to Brine and the capital," Charlotte said.

"It's not a coastal city. No matter the price, seafood in Brine is always fresh. That's not the case in my city. Even if you pay a premium price, you'll only get frozen goods. The texture is inferior, and the soy sauce and wasabi can be easily bought in supermarkets, unlike the horseradish here."

"That's true. Even in Brine, it's difficult to find a Japanese restaurant with decent horseradish."

Avery sighed. "Yes, it's a pity. Oh, by the way, I have another thing to talk about this time. It's about Cassius. How much do you know about him? I have new information about him, I don't know if you would like to read it."

"It's about Jovanni, isn't it?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes, how did you know that?"

"I sent my people to investigate and they found out that his manager was Jovanni's. So I went directly to Cassius and he admitted that Jovanni is his great- grandfather. I didn't expect that he would have such a vast background. No wonder he looked like a babe in the woods. I thought that might be attributed to a sheltered childhood, but now it seems that his family protected him a little too well."

"Do you think that..." Avery trailed off.

"Do I think that there's something wrong with him? Not really." Charlotte frowned. "For me, he is not indispensable, but with Jovanni backing him, our objective is to make him the best in his field to rake in money. I figure this is Jovanni's game plan as well."

"You want to be Jovanni's shield, don't you?"

"Why can't I? Jovanni has already lost a great-grandson, so I don't want him to lose another. Besides, if I was able to safeguard his scheme, would we still lack resources?" Charlotte smiled as she picked up a sweet shrimp and placed it in her mouth. She chewed it slowly and allowed the taste of sweet shrimp to fill her mouth before sighing in satisfaction. "The taste is really good."

Avery picked up his teacup and sipped on wheat tea. He said, "Let's have a meal with Cassius one day. I'm curious about him and Jovanni."

"But since we were able to find out about Jovanni, someone else may already know about this, too."

"Don't worry. I've already sealed off any channels that might lead to this discovery. If Jovanni's people try to dig some dirt on Cassius now, they might not succeed, let alone some random person."

Charlotte nodded. "I'm always at ease when you deal with these matters."

"Compared with Cassius, don't you think Shane is quite important now? I don't know how he is now. Although he is kept under observation by Skylar and other nurses, he has become very sensitive.
