Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 66

Surprise washed over her as she raised her head and looked at Shane. Her mind was completely blank and she was at a loss. She didn't know what to think of this.

"Take a look at the contents first," Shane prompted.

Charlotte obediently lowered her head again and read through the document carefully.

As the seconds ticked by, Shane remained nestled in his leather seat as he gracefully sipped from his cup of coffee.

Every now and then, his gaze would float toward Charlotte.

Four words then suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Time passes in silence."

Inadvertently, the corners of his lips rose ever so slightly.

After reading every line in the document, Charlotte let out a long sigh in her heart.

For some reason, it was utter relief for her that Shane’s intention was not really to marry her, but instead to establish a contractual marriage for two years.

What was his purpose for doing so?

And why her?

It was as though Shane read her mind just by staring at her.

"To me, women are like articles of clothing; but you, you’re different. You know how to put that big brain of yours to good use and, because of that, you would save me a lot of trouble if I were to marry you. At least when we are to divorce, you wouldn't cry or make a scene.” Shane paused for a moment, then continued, "And as a compensation, I'll help you return to Emerson Corporation.”

Charlotte's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, but Shane caught it in its fleeting moment. He could tell he had managed to tickle her deepest desires.

He added, "On the other hand, your daughter needs a father, and it happens that I adore the child very much."
