Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 85

"Mr. Handsome!"

Sheryl immediately dashed towards him away from Anne's arms. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile and said, "Carry me."

"Mr. Handsome?"

Shane deliberately pulled a handsome face, his arms didn't attempt to move.

Sheryl circled her arms around his legs and asked in confusion, " Mr. Handsome, if I call you daddy, will you protect my mommy?"

She scrunched up her face as if worried about being rejected by the man before her. She curled her hands into fists and continued, "My mommy is very popular. If you don't want to protect her, I'll do it myself."

Shane smiled tenderly as he wrapped his arms around her. His heart softened in an instant. "I promise you," he replied.

"Daddy—"

Her cheeks flushed red and she buried her head in his chest.

Shane straightened his back, his eyes overflowed with tenderness.

Beside them, Anne put a hand on her chin as in deep thought.

She didn't expect Shane to be such a family guy. It would be great if Sheryl was actually his daughter.

It's fine, who knows the result of the paternity test may surprise them.

Anne reassured herself. She looked at Elaine who was ignored and her mood immediately changed for the better.

"Mr. Fuller..."

Elaine gently called him. Her face almost froze from being given the cold-shoulder.

"Speak."

Shane spat a single word coldly. He seemed the complete opposite from the tender person from before.

"Mr. Fuller, my younger sister had suffered enough for what she'd done. Can you please forgive her? Since Lottie also didn't suffer any fatal wounds."

Elaine lowered her voice. She dare not address him as her "brother-in-law" anymore. After all, that woman was now Shane's wife.

That was what she despised the most.

Why was it that she tried so hard to reach where she was now, but Charlotte was able to achieve even more?

"Daddy, my mommy is in a lot of pain. It's not at all like what this bad woman said."

The child who was hiding in Shane's embrace suddenly spoke up solemnly. Anne almost exclaimed in excitement.

She was indeed well taught by Anne.

"I see."

The coldness on Shane's face instantly dissipated. He stretched out his hand and stroked her long hair.

The corners of Lottie's lips couldn't help but twitch a little. She didn't even realize Sheryl had started to call him "Daddy."

'This man's attitude changed even faster than one changes clothes,' Elaine thought.

She immediately took a step towards Charlotte but was quickly blocked by Anne's shoulder. "Madam Lane, you should just stay where you are," she said with a hint of disgust.

"You..."

Elaine swallowed back her words forcefully. She pretended to brush her off her hand with her raised hand. "Lottie, just forgive Yuliana for the sake of family," she pleaded with Charlotte.

Charlotte was even more confused as she looked at Elaine's genuine expression.

She was obviously the one who was hurt. Why did she make herself look like a villain?

"Why should she be forgiven? If Mr. Gibson hadn't shown up, who knows what other injury Lottie would have suffered! You don't deserve forgiveness."

Anne stood in front of Elaine angrily and stared at her caked-up face. She then put her hands around her waist while she put on a menacing posture.
