Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Olive stopped speaking and smiled as she took the vanilla flavoured ice cream. "I like to eat anything in the original flavour. Thank you." "You're welcbut I don't like the original flavor, I like chocolate. Then I'll give this green box to Uncle Avery. I only bought it because they said it was nice!" Sheryl passed the matcha-flavored ice cream to Avery.

Avery took the ice cream and let Sheryl take a seat. "You two can sit together." "Alright." Sheryl sat down beside Olive and began to tell her sinteresting stories about ice cream.

Olive listened but her mind was wandering off. She suddenly realised a problem. She couldn't refuse Sheryl's kindness not because she was Ms. Emerson's daughter, but because she was Sheryl's. She was considerate and she treated Olive as a friend.

Even a child from an ordinary family couldn't refuse Sheryl, let alone herself.

Olive suddenly felt relieved. If she couldn't compete with the sun, then she would join the sun and becpart of the light. At least, this way she could feel the heat and not stand in the shadow. Fireworks suddenly exploded in the air.

Countless screams erupted. Sheryl stood up and waved her arms in surprise. "It's beautiful. The fireworks are so beautiful, Olive!" 'No matter how beautiful it was, it passed in a flash.' Olive thought but she stood up and reached out her hands with Sheryl, trying to catch the firework that could not be caught. "Yes, it's beautiful." While Sheryl was watching the fireworks, Olive was watching Sheryl.

In fact, apart from friendship, there was another relationship that lasted even longer. It was protecting each other.

Olive thought.

If possible, she wanted to protect Sheryl's smile for the rest of her life. She did not hate sorrow and despair. She could slowly forget all the pain. As long as Sheryl was by her side, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Perhaps it was because she was born an optimist.

After the fireworks were over, it was tfor them to part ways.

Sheryl handed one of the toys to Olive and said, "Look at this when you miss me!" "Thank you," Olive said as she took the box.

"Then I'll be going, bye bye." Sheryl left very chicly.

Olive watched as she left. She hugged the toy tightly and looked up to Avery. "Can I protect Sheryl? Like how your bodyguards protect you?" "Of course, as long as you don't hurt her, you can do anything." Avery paused and warned her, "But you can't fall in love with her. You know what kind of love I'm talking about." "I like boys..." Olive was very speechless. "And Dad, I'm not even ten. Isn't it too early to askthis question?" "Just promise me." Olive didn't know what to say.

She might have adopted a fake father.

In fact, from calling him master to Mr. Avery and now to dad, she never felt a sense of discomfort. Avery had never required her to address him as master or dad. He always let her do as she pleased. She should be quite happy to have such a father, shouldn't she? That was what Olive thought.

Sheryl yawned after returning to Charlotte's side.

"Can you still get up tomorrow?" Charlotte picked her up and asked. Only now did she realise that Sheryl had grown quite a lot. She could no longer carry her easily.

Shane carried her calmly in his arms. He might even be able to carry the both of them without breaking a sweat.

"I can't get up," Sheryl said in a childish tone. "Mommy, are we going to another city tomorrow?" "Sheryl, do you want to go or not?" "Can we go in the afternoon?" "Alright." "Yeah!" After a little happy cheer, she leaned back on Shane's chest and said, "I'll go to sleep now." She fell asleep immediately after. Charlotte watched as she slept peacefully. She couldn't help but sigh, "Being a kid is the best. I really hope I can go back to the past. My parents were quite loving then." "I have no intentions of letting my love go in vain or having an affair." "What?" "I won't allow what happened to you and Christopher to befall my child." Charlotte was just reminiscing her past, she didn't expect Shane to think she was talking about them. She hadn't thought about their future. After all, he was Shane and she... To be honest, caring for him, liking him, loving him and depending on him was one matter but to grow old with him was another.

All of a sudden, Charlotte didn't know how to reply.

"You've never thought of our future?" However, who was Shane? He immediately knew what was on her mind by the expression on her face. Charlotte was stunned for a moment before she quickly denied, "No way." "You don't mean what you said." "I... Shane, I really don't plan on tying you up for the rest of your life." Charlotte sighed, "I'll be honest, even if you had another woman, I won't say anything as long as you keep her away from me. I..." Shane suddenly pulled Lottie into his arms and kissed her on the lips. He held Sheryl in one arm and Charlotte in the other. He said in a deep, clear voice, "I would be struck by lightning if I had another woman." "Shane, don't be like this." Charlotte choked up a little. "Just as I said today, all good things would cto an end. Who knows one day we might fall apart. Love is very temporary, not to mention our relationship has little to do with love." At this time, he had already walked to the side of the car. Shane put Sheryl in the car and pinned Charlotte against the car door.

Charlotte turned away awkwardly, not daring to look at him.

"Do you still remember what happened in the car two days ago?" "How dare you mention that?" She immediately turned around and glared at him.

"Would I do that if I didn't love you?"

"You wouldn't have done that if you loved me..." Charlotte immediately felt upset at the mention of what happened. She feached out and pounded Shane's chest. "Shouldn't you respect and protect the person. you love? But you were hurtingat the time." "I'm sorry." Was he apologizing? For sunknown reason, Charlotte felt very wronged and burst into tears, "Then, if someone who looks like Heidi appears in the future, would you love her too?" "I don't like Heidi." Shane didn't know how else he could explain this to her.

He really didn't understand why Charlotte always brought up this matter.

Maybe it was because he was confused before and called her Heidi when he kissed her. But that was because he had been hypnotised, his memory had been tampered with. It wasn't his true feelings." "Shane, I still can't trust you. I always felt you were too perfect so you won't belong toalone." Shane knew anything he said wouldn't matter so he just hugged her tight and gently patted her back.

"Perhaps, a wedding will make you calm down." "Don't do that, a wedding is really too annoying." Charlotte broke free from his embrace. "I trust you. Really, I trust you now. I don't want the wedding anymore." Shane was speechless.

If it was any other woman, they couldn't wait to have a wedding with him. But Charlottel not only didn't want a wedding, but she was even afraid of one. What did that mean? Did she really think that a wedding would be troublesor did she not want a wedding of their own? Shane frowned and his face darkened. "Charlotte, do you not trustor yourself?" Charlotte was stunned.

What kind of question was this!? How could she not trust herself? She... she was in love with him.
