Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 72

"Thank you, officer." After she hung up the call, Sheryl returned the phone to the policeman behind the counter.

She blinked her teary eyes and spotted a row of chairs in the corner. Step by step, she walked over to them. She tried to climb up with all her might, so much so her face turned red.

The policeman watched her seat herself. Concerned, he asked, "Hey buddy, is your guardian going to pick you up?"

Sheryl nodded.

She must sit here obediently and wait for Mr. Handsome.

On the other end, Shane snapped his head toward Cole and demanded coldly, "What’s going on?"

The glacial look in his eyes sent a chill running down Cole’s spine.

"Three days ago, Miss Charlotte, pardon me, your wife was taken away by the madam's henchmen."

He had already been informed of the news an hour prior. However, Shane was engaged in an important meeting at the time, so Cole decided to wait for him to finish before breaking the news.

From the way Shane looked at him, Cole instantly knew he had made a mistake.

"Get the plane ready immediately," commanded Shane without hesitation.

"Yes, sir."

Making his way to River City as fast as he could, he rushed over to the police station near Flowerbed Residence.

Meanwhile, at the station, little Sheryl was happily eating her favourite KFC.

The second she saw Shane, Sheryl tossed her chicken away and dashed over.

Shane effortlessly scooped her up and allowed Sheryl's greasy hands to rub all over his expensive suit as she embraced him tightly.

Sheryl wrapped her arms around Shane's neck and said, "Mr. Handsome, you're finally here."

She spoke with a bittersweet tone. "Mr. Handsome, my mommy is missing. Can you help me find her?" pleaded Sheryl.

In her naive mind, Shane was a superhero capable of doing anything. She thought he could do an even better job than the police.

Brushing her little nose, he said dotingly, "Don' t worry, we've found her already. Let's go and fetch her home together.”

"Yay!" Sheryl broke out into a radiant smile.
