Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Well..." Braden felt that it was not easy to be a reporter but he did not dare to talk back to his wife, so he could only keep quiet.

"Let's go." Charlotte calmly ended the conversation.

Anne glared at Braden.

Braden touched his nose unhappily. It was hard enough to chase his wife, but it was even harder to coax her. It was extremely difficult to have a sweet life with his wife. It was very difficult for him.

At the hospital.

Rick stood by the window, his body leaned against the windowsill. He felt a little cold as the wind blew.

As he looked down at the city, he felt an impulse to trample everything under his feet and make everyone bow before him.

Squeak, squeak- brother..." Anne's voice broke the silence in the room. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Rick didn't turn around. His voice was soft with no emotions "Lottie, you stay. The others can wait outside." Anne looked at Charlotte helplessly.

Charlotte nodded towards her. Only then did Anne leave with Braden.

Charlotte walked into the ward and put the fruit basket on the table, "I passed by a fruit shop on my way here. These grapes looked so good, do you want to try some?" "I don't like sour foods." "Uh, I also bought sapples." "Lottie, I don't like fruits." Charlotte bit her lower lip and paced to his side. She grabbed onto his sleeve and said, "The rumours on the Intearen't true. Shane and I were being chased by sof Blake's men. We almost couldn't escape. I chere the moment I saw the news, I was afraid you would misunderstand." Rick was still looking out the window. "I was dealing with the reporters here in the afternoon. Suddenly they all left, one of them toldyou arranged a press conference with Shane, right?" "Yes, I thought of a plan with Shane's help..." "Did you know Shane has never been present in any press conferences?" Charlotte was stunned for a moment and her hands froze.

"Did you know Shane has never praised a company in public?" "Shane is the most famous investor in River City. Do you know how much his word is worth? Since he spoke, the Jane Corporation's stock price skyrocketed today. Have you thought of a plan? No, you didn't need to think about anything. All you need was him to stand by your side and you would've already won." "I..." Charlotte lowered her head.

"He is a god in your heart, but what about me? What am I? A mere mortal who needs you to beg your god for help?" "That's not what I meant. I was just worried that they'll disturb your rest." Charlotte started to choke up. "I didn't think too much." "Yes, you didn't think too much. You just thought I'm sweak person who needs your protection. I even needed Shane to protect me, right?" Charlotte shook her head forcefully.

Rick shook off her arm. "Charlotte, I'm just not good enough for you. I'm not worthy of you." "Rick, when I heard about the situation, I wanted to discuss it with you but your assistant said the hospital was filled with people. So I panicked and thought of having a press conference to tell the reporters you transferred the shares to Shane because of Anne and Braden's engagement." "So what were you thinking about when you thought of this idea?" Rick asked in a hoarse voice.

"It was..." It was Shane.

Braden and Anne wouldn't sound persuasive at all if they spoke.

Since the shares were in Shane's hands, only he could justify the reason for the transfer of shares.

Charlotte panicked. She grabbed Rick's arm forcefully. I'm sorry. I'll discuss anything with you in the future. Please don't be mad, okay?" "You clearly went to beg a man you didn't even want to see for my sake. How could I get angry at you for this?" "Rick..." "Go home. You don't have to cover for the next few days. Letcalm down and take good care of the Jane Corporation." "Rick, I already know what I did wrong. Don't be mad. I wouldn't go find Shane anymore in the future. Can you forgive me?" Charlotte whimpered softly, her eyes red with tears.

Rick wasn't looking at her but his heart tightened when he heard her voice.

Did he make her cry? Did he upset her? But she didn't know that the hurt and sadness he felt could only be deeper than hers.

His woman went to find the man who hurt her again and again in order to protect him.

Perhaps, she even exchanged something for the peace he felt now.

He laughed at himself and gazed off into the tower in the distance. "You did nothing wrong. I'm just not patient enough." His tone was as soft as the clouds.

Charlotte shook her head, her hair was in a mess, covering half of her face. "No, it's my fault. I didn't think through it thoroughly." "Lottie, please disappear from my sight before I break off our engagement, okay?" Charlotte didn't know how she managed to walk out of the ward. Maybe it was because he was so adamant he didn't even look at her. All she could see was his cold back.

She had never thought that the word "indifferent" could be used to describe Rick.

Maybe she was afraid of him so she ran.

Bang- The door closed.

Rick staggered back to the bed and laid down.

As soon as he shut his eyes she closed her eyes, the tears at the corner of her eyes immediately squeezed out and fell on the pillow.

He could easily break up with Charlotte if she truly liked Shane. But Shane is so mean towards her and she's always hurt. How could he hand over the person he loved to Shane? However, Charlotte didn't trust him enough, Shane's love for her wasn't deep enough and he didn't have enough patience.

So it was his fault.

His patience and emotional intelligence weren't enough.

Outside the ward.

Anne pulled Charlotte into her arms. She looked very dejected. "Did my brother yell at you? What's wrong?" Charlotte shook her head. "Anne, can I go for a walk in the garden alone?" "You... Go ahead. I'll call you if there's anything." "Alright." Charlotte left.

Anne glared at Braden.

Braden blinked innocently and asked, "Babe, why are you glaring at me?" "I don't know. Seeing Charlotte this way putsin a bad mood. Ugh, just wait for Charlotte here. I'll go in and see my brother." Bang- The door was shut again.

Braden licked his lower lip and scratched the back of his head blankly.

Why did he feel like he was so useless? "Brother..." Anne crept into his room.

Rick had already calmed down. He opened his eyes and tilted his head back. "Didn't I ask you to go home?"

"Lottie is in a bad mood. She went to Qm have a walk in the garden alone so I cin to see you. XAnne Sat beside him and grabbed his hands casually. "You've always doted on Lottie. This the went to see Shane for you." "I know." "Brother, don't ask so much of her just because she's now your wife, okay? You never asked anything in return before."

n.

Rick smiled helplessly. He raised his hand and poked Anne's temple. "Silly, I can't expect nothing in return forever? Humans are all selfish."

"But Lottie likes you very much now. Shane and Tiffany are Lottie veggether.m ottie has a child, if you don't want her, what can she do alone?" "I still want her." "But you..." "As I said, I don't blher. It's my own problem. What can I do if she doesn't believe me?" Anne was dumbfounded.

She tentatively asked, "What did you say to Charlotte?" Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich women will persue you.
