Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Shane nodded. "Answer it." After the last time, if Rick could still call her, it meant that it was something important.

Charlotte nodded. She picked up the phone and placed it to her ear, "Rick?" "Are you investigating the Stevens family? I don't intend to cooperate with them. The investment they gaveis an accident. Don't get the whole Stevens family involved because of you and Kendall, and what happened between the three of us. It's not good for you." "Is it not good for me, or for Kendall?" Rick was shocked into silence by Charlotte's question. He kept silent.

Charlotte didn't say anything else. Now that the tables had been turned, and they had different teammates and people she cared about, their thoughts were completely different now.

"It's not good for both of you." "So, you are not only showing concern for me, but also for Kendall's welfare. Not only did you allow Kendall to hurt my daughter, but you also think that I should let her go. Rick, do you have a conscience? Can you still say that you're a human being?" Charlotte sneered.

Her hands were trembling a little.

If Rick had not made this call, she would feel that they had broken up peacefully.

Did he actually want her to let Kendall go? How dare he? Did he think she was a saint? Kendall had hurt her child. Did he expect her to congratulate her on a job well done? Of course not! Shane cto Charlotte's side and held her shoulders with both hands. Charlotte calmed down for a moment. She turned around to look at him and gave him a reassuring look. She was only aggravated and not angry.

Shane didn't take his hands away. He stood by her side quietly, like a guardian giving her strength.

"Rick." Charlotte spoke up once again, "We aren't friends. I'm very grateful that you once liked me, but that's all in the past. Let's just leave it be." She would always be grateful that, in her most difficult times, the Jane siblings had helped her.

However...

She could not live in gratitude forever.

Without waiting for Rick's reply, Charlotte immediately ended the call. At the stime, she also muted her phone.

"No one will disturb you anymore. Let's continue talking about the matter between you and Christopher. Why did you say that no one thinks of you as brothers?" Charlotte placed her phone back into her bag.

"Your mood..." "I'm fine. Compared to the others, I'm more worried about you and more concerned about you." Shane's thin lips twitched.

It was obvious.

Shane really liked that Charlotte said that. It made him happy.

"In our own opinion, we are friends that can play together, but in the eyes of others, he and I are just two chess pieces without souls." "So that's how it is..." Charlotte's heart ached even more.

She reached out and hugged him gently.

It didn't matter. Now that he had her, she wouldn't betray him.

Although she did not say it out loud, Shane noticed Charlotte's serious expression on her lowered face. He touched her cheek gently with his long fingers.

"I'm fine." "I know you're fine, but it doesn't change the fact that my heart aches for you." Sigh.

She was so silly.

Three days later.

Charlotte helped Avery to make an appointment with Zoe. Peter and Shane also attended the meeting.

They had agreed to meet one-on-one. It was only when Avery arrived that he found that it had beca bigger gathering. Avery did not have an opinion on this. It so happened that he had not seen Shane for a long tsince he was always on business trips.

Peter had only seen Avery from inside the car before. Now they were in closer contact, he was a little afraid of him.

He was charming and unrestrained, and he had a murderous look in his eyes. It made him seem invincible. Soon, the conversation topic turned to Zoe.

"So, what you mean is that I look very similar to Irena Chambers?" Zoe found the main point of the conversation. "It's not very similar, you look exactly the same," Charlotte added.

Zoe felt that this was incredible. "How could it be possible? I don't have any siblings." "Have you ever had amnesia?" "Of course not. I wish I could have amnesia." If she did, she wouldn't have to deal with those annoying family disputes.

If she didn't have any siblings and didn't have amnesia, she wasn't a clone, was she? In the end.

Avery still decided to take Zoe to the Chambers residence for a visit. He wanted to verify it. After all, it was fine if they only looked similar. The probability of the two of them looking exactly the swas too low.

But in the face of going to the Chambers residence, Zoe was very nervous. "I don't know any of those people. Do I really have to go? Plus, their daughter is dead. If I show up, won't it be traumatic?" "Zoe, you have to think of it this way. Their daughter has already left this world and she can't cback to life. However, you look exactly the sas their daughter. Perhaps, to them, it would be a kind of comfort." Charlotte really pitied the Chambers family.

The Chambers family wasn't as big as the Hart family, who had many children. From what Avery said, the Chambers didn't have any children after what happened.

After Zoe listened to what Charlotte said, she nodded. "Fine, I can meet them." "Mr. Fuller, what do you think?" Avery looked at Shane beside him.

"To speople, reality is more important than the truth." Avery was stunned, but he didn't expect that Shane would give such an emotional answer. He picked up the teacup and angled it forward, "Cheers, Mr. Fuller." Shane clinked cups with him.

Everyone went their separate ways.

Charlotte couldn't help but ask Shane, "When you said that the reality is far more important than the truth, Avery seemed to be very excited. Why?" "He doesn't think that I'm a materialist." "What's that?" What was this materialism thing? Charlotte bit her lip and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out.

"Materialism denies the existence of God." "Well, there is no God in the world," Charlotte replied matter-of-factly.

"Many families think that their family is prosperous because their ancestors were favoredby.God.m You've seen how people go through elaborate ceremonies to enforce this thinking." Charlotte finally understood. Simply put, the rich believed in superstition, and they also believed that everything was by the grace of God. The rich maintained a skeptical attitude towards what they saw in front of them.

It was not like Shane, who thought that what he saw in front of him was the truth.

"If I have the chance, I will go to the Chambers residence with Avery and Zoe." "Are you also interested in this?" Shane nodded.

"Fine, I'll go hand discuss it with them." On the other end, in the parking lot.

Peter sat in the driver's seat. Through the rearview mirror, he could see e Avery and Zoe sitting next to each other, but they were not very close to each other. They did not talk and only looked at their phones. Peter started the car and focused on driving. "When are you going to go to the Chambers residence?" Avery was the first to speak.

Peter's ears twitched.

"Anytis fine. I'm thinking of asking Lottie first," Zoe replied.

"That's fine too. She'll probably cwith us." "Will she want to join in the fun?" Zoe thought that it was unlikely.

Charlotte was so busy with company matters. Although Charlotte was Avery's friend, she wouldn't want to get involved in such things.

Avery chuckled and said, "She definitely wouldn't want to get involved. But someone will." "Mr. Fuller?" Zoe looked over at Peter.

Avery also looked over and brushed the tip of his nose. "Sthings don't need to be said, my friend. The walls have ears." "I'll report everything you said to Mr. Fuller and Ms. Emerson," Peter said honestly.

Besides, he was Shane's man. He wasn't good at lying. He might as well tell Avery that he would report back.

As for what he said, that was up to Avery.

When he heard this, Avery leaned forward slightly and looked straight into Peter's eyes through the rearview mirror. "I wonder who you think will get the better of this situation, Mr.

You Brown? Will be it Charlotte and Shane, or Christopher. Or are you more optimistic about my own chances?" X
