Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Therefore, it was best for her to finish all the food.

However, how was she supposed to finish this 'free breakfast' all by herself, when it was equal to her entire day's meals? Charlotte's pale, agile fingertips tapped on the bags and finally landed on a bag where half of the bread inside had fallen out. She started eating as slowly as a snail.

Half an hour passed.

She couldn't finish the food.

It was impossible to finish it.

Looking at the breakfast, Charlotte felt pressured.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Someone knocked on the door.

"Cin." She wiped her lips.

The first thing Christopher saw when he pushed open the door was the mountain of food piled up in front of Charlotte. He smiled in surprise, "That's a lot, can you finish all of it?" Charlotte sighed. "Even you know that I can't finish it, but a certain someone thinks that I can. Since you're already here, I'll have to ask you for help." A certain someone? Is it Shane? A complex expression flashed through Christopher's eyes.

"What nice timing! I haven't had breakfast yet." He walked to the table and sat down.

"That's great, eat as much as you like, it doesn't matter if you finish all of it." She was too in need of help.

At the stime.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Someone else was knocking on the door.

"Who is it this time?" Charlotte thought.

Charlotte was a little nervous. It couldn't be Shane coming to check if she had finished eating, right? The door opened.

It was Zoe, who was smiling politely.

Charlotte let out a breath she was holding.

When Zoe entered the door, she saw Christopher and Charlotte sitting side by side, eating together. She was slightly stunned, and the fist by her side tightened unknowingly. "Mr Gibson." "Go on, don't worry about me." Christopher waved, smiling gently.

His breezy smile was like a feather, scratching lightly at Zoe's heart.

She lowered her head and handed the document over to Charlotte. "The CEO askedto hand this to you. It's the future plan for the design department. Also, he askedto cand see if you've finished eating breakfast." "Zoe, have you had breakfast yet?" "Not yet." When did she even have the tfor breakfast? "Very well." Charlotte stood up with a bright smile. She went behind Zoe, nudged her back, forcing her to sit next to Christopher. "Eat, finish all of these." Zoe: "What exactly was going on?" She subconsciously turned her head to look at Christopher, who was sitting next to her.

He just gave her a polite nod.

Zoe shifted her gaze, picked up the food and moved to the corner to sit down at an appropriate distance from Christopher.

Charlotte sat on the guest sofa opposite them. The document Zoe gave her was a pending version, which was usually handed over by the design department to the CEO or the chief director, and it could be carried out directly after review.

"How did it get sent to me?" She thought.

Charlotte frowned. There were no obvious problems with these, including the newcomer training and other plans. They all met the company's requirements.

After a long tof going through the documents, Charlotte finally finished off.

She put down the document and massaged her shoulders.

She picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, finding that it was the last item among the pile of food.

The three of them had finally finished the meal together.

In the afternoon.

Charlotte returned the document to the design department.

When it was tto get off work, she decided to head back home. When she passed by a hotel next to the company, she saw a familiar car unexpectedly.

That car...

She stopped subconsciously in her tracks.

The door opened to Cole wearing a pair of metal-framed glasses.

Cole got out of the car and opened the back seat door, and out stepped an extremely handsman. Charlotte's breathing tightened instantly.

On the other side of the car, a woman in a red dress appeared.

She held the man's arm naturally, the two looking close.

Charlotte watched as they walked into the hotel. For sreason, her heart was heavy with bitterness.

That man was familiar to her. It was Shane.

But that woman...

Charlotte withdrew her gaze and took a deep breath.

"Go home." She thought.

She shouldn't be thinking too much about things that were not of her concern.

In the magnificent hotel.

The woman in the red dress with an enchanting figure loosened her hand wrapped around the man's arm. "Shane, thank you for today." Shane gave a slight nod.

"About my sister, I wanted to..." "It's all in the past." Shane interrupted her, his voice cold.

The woman smiled awkwardly. "I understand, Shane. Thank you for still being willing to take care of me." "Cole." "Yes, sir." Cole immediately left the hotel, trailing behind Shane.

After getting in the car, Cole reminded him softly, "Mr Fuller, what if Miss Allen hired paparazzi to take pictures..." "Don't say too much about her matters." "But your reputation..." "I owe Heidi a lifetime." Cole:...

Perhaps, Mr Fuller had never moved on from the past.

Cole asked again, "What about Miss Emerson, then?" Shane's eyes flickered like a candle that was on the brink of extinguishing.

He closed his eyes and a trace of exhaustion appeared on his face.

Cole stopped asking immediately.

Charlotte was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Her heart was heavy and unsettled.

Vaguely, she heard the sound of the door opening followed by the stream of water. Finally, she felt a burst of warmth press against her back.

"Are you asleep?" Shane's voice by her ear was hoarse with a hint of temptation.

'Tim asleep!" Charlotte thought.

Charlotte's body tensed up and she didn't move an inch.

Due to the lack of response, Shane didn't say anything else.

Charlotte didn't even know how she managed to fall asleep. Anyway, Shane was already gone by the tshe woke up.

The words he said last night, which made her heart tingle for a long time, seemed like a mere illusion.

Charlotte finished washing up before arriving at the company.

She received a message from Shane.

He was saying that Madam Fuller Senior wanted Sheryl to stay with her for a few more days, so he had sent someone to bring Sheryl there.

Charlotte knocked her knuckles against her head. She was really an incompetent mother. She didn't even check whether her daughter was at hwhen she returned yesterday... "Lottie? Are you alright? Why do you look so dazed?" Zoe had been calling her quite a few times.

Charlotte cto her senses suddenly and rubbed her temples, "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now. What's wrong?" "Congratulations, you're one of the ten top newbie nominees for this year. Do well in the coming celebration." Zoe gave her a gift box and an invitation.

Charlotte accepted the letter doubtfully and carefully read the invitation letter.

This time's bid was successful, which led to the NC Company holding a celebratory feast. At the stime, many other businessmen from the sindustry were invited to the party. This was a way to make a public announcement that this project had been secured by the company. Charlotte opened the box and found a dress of pretty good quality lying inside.

It was at this moment Zoe knew that the gift Shane sent Charlotte was actually a gown.

She smiled and said, "The chairman seems to take good care of you. He gavea watch and a tie for Mr Gibson. Yours is a full dress instead." He was... quite nice to her.

Charlotte was lost in thought as she looked at the gown. She could tell the size of the dress at a glance. It was exactly her size.

"Try on your dress. I'm going to work now." "Alright." Charlotte nodded and watched her leave.

Charlotte locked the door.

She took the dress out of the box.

The plain white dress was decorated with small diamonds and a lace hem, and at the end of the pleated dress Wasla was a layer of tulle. The entire gown was luxurious but not tacky. Charlotte put on the dress and stood in front of the mirror, staring blankly at her reflection.

The dress was just her size, not showing anything improper. However, it made her look attractive and poised.

It was extremely pretty.

Charlotte reluctantly took off the gown and put it back in the box.

As soon as she straightened her collar, her phone rang.

"Hello?" "Have you received the dress?" "Yes, I've tried it. It fitsvery well." Shane gave a faint "hmm", and the image of her in the gown appeared in his mind. His lips quirked upwards at the corners.

Charlotte's knuckles tightened on her phone. This silence made it awkward, and she had no idea how to continue the conversation.

"Wear it when you go to the celebratory feast." "Is it really alright to keep such a high profile?" "Why did you think I sent you this gown, then?" X For a moment, Charlotte was at a loss for words. She heard a cute voice from the other end of the line- "Daddy, the handsuncle is going to sendaway. Don't you want another hug?" Was it Sheryl's voice? But didn't Shane say that she was at the old mansion?
