Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Sheryl's eyes shone. "That's right, mommy is right!" "The memories between you and greatgrandma will always belong to you. This means that your memories will always be there even when the carousel is not, is it not?" Sheryl nodded. She wiped away her tears and waved her clenched, chubby little fists. "That's right! But the pink carousel was quite pretty..." "Mommy will buy you another one today. Good girl, let's go and have breakfast." Sheryl nodded hard and waddled to the dining area like a cute penguin.

The whole time.

Everyone including Raina, who was standing next to the sofa, Madam Fuller Senior, who was in the dining area, and Shane, who was standing on the second floor after waking up, said nothing. It was extremely quiet. Sheryl walked up to Madam Fuller Senior, and only then did Charlotte look coldly at Raina.

She said, "Mrs Fuller, at Madam Fuller Senior's age, it's not easy to have something or someone she likes. We should be more understanding as younger family members." "You're disciplining me?" Raina found it rather funny.

"Yes." Charlotte looked at her emotionlessly. "Because from today onwards, I will no longer treat you as Shane's mother or as Madam Fuller Senior's daughter-in-law. To me, you're just someone who tried to bully my daughter." "Are you aware of your own position and of who you are speaking to?" "Mrs Fuller, do you think you are qualified to turnaway from this place or one-sidedly divorce Shane andusing legal means?" Charlotte said word by word, sharp and precise like a cold-blooded machine.

She could bear with it if it had happened only once or twice.

It didn't matter if she bullied her.

However.

She couldn't allow anyone to bully Sheryl.

As a mother, she had to be strong, and she would never regret it.

Just when Charlotte thought that Raina would scream and tear at her hair, throwing her out of the house, Raina smiled and said, "Not bad. I finally see that slightly admirable side of yours today." Charlotte frowned.

"However, do you have the abilities to protect your daughter?" Raina turned around and left proudly.

Charlotte clenched her fists, unyielding.

She knew that she was still too weak.

"You don't have to worry about my daughter. I will be the one to protect her." Shane said.

He was partially leaning against the handrail beside the staircase, looking like a noble, elegant king.

Raina paused but didn't turn around. She felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Shane cover to Charlotte and said, "Let's have breakfast." Charlotte nodded and left.

The atmosphere in the dining area was heavy.

It was tense and uncomfortable.

"No matter you're a man or a woman, you still have to remove the scales from your eyes before finding a spouse," Raina suddenly said.

Charlotte remained silent. She knew that Raima's words were directed at her.

"If you get married just because you impulsively think that it is true love, you will have a hard tin the future." Raina continued without a switch in expression. "Once those hard days begin, they won't end easily." Charlotte continued eating silently.

Madam Fuller Senior handed Sheryl over to Ms Laura and said, "Sheryl, go watch TV and wait for great-grandma to cover." "Alright." The little girl left obediently.

After Sheryl left, Madam Fuller Senior spoke again, "I once heard someone say that in a relationship, as long as one betrays another, the other half would already have lost, no matter how hard she tries. Raina, stop educating your child when you yourself are a loser in marriage." Raina didn't expect Madam Fuller Senior to speak up for Charlotte by taking a dig at her son and daughter-in-law. Moreover, her son was deceased! Raina was so angry that her entire body trembled as she glared at Charlotte. If looks could kill, Charlotte would have already been dead. Charlotte didn't understand the current situation. Raina's glare sent a chill down her spine, and it was difficult for her to continue eating calmly. Her lips trembled as she opened her mouth to speak. "Grandma, we..." "You are my good grandson and granddaughter-in-law. I am very happy." In other words, she did not have a good son.

Charlotte didn't know what was going on within the Fuller family.

Shane was not speaking either.

Perhaps his relationship with his father was no better than that of his mother.

The Fuller family looked glamorous from the outside, but in fact, it was still a problematic family. It was quite pitiful.

Sparks were flying about during the meal, and the atmosphere was tense.

Charlotte excused herself from the table.

Shane answered a company phone call, put down his chopsticks and left as well.

The lively dining area suddenly becquiet.

"Raina, you used to be the daughter of an eminent family too. Why is it that you just can't tolerate a young girl from the Emerson family?" Raina placed her chopsticks on the bowl heavily. "Mother, Theodore is your son." "So what if he's my son? He was in the wrong!" "He is still your son, after all. How could you defhim in front of an outsider?" "He's a father who doesn't even acknowledge his son, and you're a mother who can't accept her son's decision. What right do you have to call others outsiders?" Madam Fuller Senior placed pressure on each word.

"Mother!" Raina's face was ashen. She didn't want to recall those events from the past.

"As long as I am still in this house, you won't be able to bully the child and her mother. After I leave, you can do anything you want to." Madam Fuller Senior gave an ultimatum.

Raina took in a deep breath and loosened her clenched fist. "When are you going back?" "Soon." Madam Fuller Senior added meaningfully, "Raina, don't forget how you managed to get married into this house. The reason why I let you into this family was not for you to cause harm to my granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter." "But that child isn't..." "How do you know she's not?" Raina's body shook violently.

The child indeed looked very similar to Shane.

"Remember how the other woman was expelled by you from the family while she was pregnant, and until now her whereabouts are still unknown?" Raina heard every cell in her body tremble.

"That woman and her child, they better be dead, they better be dead..." She kept repeating those few words in her heart.

The rims of Raina's eyes reddened and her voice was hoarse. Her lips had a thin layer of angry tears and that wor spittle. "Why does have everything I've dreamed of when she doesn't deserve all of it? Am I not better than her? Mother, didn't you bringinto the Fuller family because I was better?"

Madam Fuller Senior slammed the table in anger and said, "You bastard! ve My greatest regret was stopping my son from pursuing his happiness and turning him into a monster! Do you think I will let my grandson go through the sthing again?" Madam Fuller Senior left after saying angrily.

She still had to watch cartoons with Sheryl.

Who knew how many years she has left to watch cartoons with Sheryl before she passed away.

Beside the dining table, Raina was weeping silently.

Ms Laura's heart ached as she supported her. "Madam, Madam Fuller Senior is going through a hard tas well." "I know." Raina's body was weak, her eyes red and swollen. "But regardless, the woman I despise will enter the Fuller Residence, over my dead body!" "But she is already in the residence, isn't she?" Ms Laura sighed.

She wanted to persuade Raina, but she didn't know what to say.

Sthings could only be seen clearly from a spectator's view.

On the second floor.

Charlotte heard those words very clearly.

Shane was standing by her side. She wanted to say something to him.

"Sha..." But when she turned around, he was gone.

There seemed to be a wall between them...

Charlotte was a little disappointed. Even though their relationship was contractual, she was still unable to stop herself from caring about him and understanding him due to empathy. As for the piano incident, she had been over the line.

But his cold attitude made her quite disappointed. She wasn't trying to pry into his private matters.
