Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 159

Charlotte had never thought about it like that. She lowered her head and thought for a long time before shaking her head. "Grandma, you know Shane better than I do. He would never."

Mrs. Fuller Senior opened her mouth, but Shane had already turned around and left before she could say anything.

She sighed. "Lottie, you might regret this in the future. You might not have the chance to get back together with him again."

"I know."

Mrs. Fuller Senior had nothing more to say.

She and Charlotte left the solarium, but she didn't see Sheryl in the living room.

"Sheryl?" she asked aloud.

Ms. Laura came over and explained, "Sheryl was too tired. She went upstairs to sleep. I can take her to kindergarten tomorrow?"

Charlotte said helplessly, "Oh, this kid. That would be good too. She hasn't seen you in a long time. She really missed you. She can stay another day tomorrow."

"I like that idea. As for me, I will be in town for the time being. I'm not as active as I used to be and I can't afford to travel back and forth so much. I think you are busy as well. Why don't you just leave Sheryl to me?" suggested Mrs. Fuller Senior.

That...

After Charlotte found out that Sheryl was Shane's, she felt bad when it came to Mrs. Fuller Senior.

The old woman loved Sheryl and Sheryl was biologically part of this family too.

It was not a big deal for Charlotte to keep this secret, but to deliberately prevent them from seeing each other would be too disrespectful.

Charlotte sighed. "Grandma, if you're up for it and Sheryl wants to spend time with you, I'd be okay with that."

"You're a good person." Mrs. Fuller Senior felt gratified.

"Only, weren't you very healthy before?"

Ms. Laura sighed and said, "You don't know what happened. After you divorced Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller Senior rushed home immediately. By the time she got back, you had already gone abroad and they had a big fight, so..."

Charlotte felt even guiltier. She clenched her fists tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I didn't expect things would turn out this way."

If she knew that Mrs. Fuller Senior had rushed back, she would have to explain everything properly before leaving.

At that time, she felt terrible and only wanted to escape from it all as soon as possible.

"It's all in the past now." Mrs. Fuller Senior had no intention of pursuing the matter. "Instead of blaming you, I might as well blame my grandson for not respecting me."

"Grandma..." Charlotte's heart ached.

"If you really feel sorry for me, you can go upstairs to rest. Tomorrow you can have breakfast with me."

Charlotte hesitated for a moment before agreeing to this request. This time, she definitely couldn't sleep in Shane's room, so she asked Ms. Laura for the keys to another room.

However, she was unable to fall asleep. After taking a shower, she changed into some pajamas and slippers. She went to the living room for some water. After drinking a few cups, she still did not feel sleepy at all. She simply took out her computer and started working in the living room.

She only turned on a weakly shining standing lamp.

The environment was dim and the sofa was soft. In the living room, there were wooden walls and the front door. Through the French window, she could see a sky full of stars.

Some people lived their whole lives without ever experiencing this kind of peacefulness.

Therefore, having money was really a good thing.

Charlotte rubbed her temples to try and made her mind sober. She focused her attention on the computer in front of her.

Her recent project was a collaboration with the Brightshine Group. They had to create a brand electric toothbrush whose performance was better and more durable than that of all the other models on the market.

Rick had said that it was better to focus on e-commerce for the Asia Pacific Region.

In other countries, online shopping was no longer a new market.

It was only five or six years ago that it had become publicly available here. On the surface, the market was already saturated, but in fact, there was still a huge gap on the market.

This was especially true for the smaller cities. The residents lived a good life with reasonable salaries, but they wouldn't spend money excessively.

Rick wanted to get money from these people.

The best way to entice these people was to produce cheap but high-quality products.

Another problem was how to deal with the shipping and logistics.

Rick had been busy dealing with the shipping routes recently, while she was in charge of the products.

"Oh, the products," she lamented internally.

Charlotte bit her finger.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

The light around her dimmed.

Charlotte raised her head subconsciously and smiled at Shane. "You're not sleeping either, Mr. Fuller."

"Call me by my name."

"Isn't it a little inappropriate at this point?" She said with embarrassment.

"If you don't call my name, I won't answer."

Charlotte found it funny but felt very helpless. "Shane, are you a child?" NôvelDrama.Org content.

"Miss Charlotte, what about you?"

"I'm not arguing with you. I can't win anyway." She shifted her gaze and looked at the data on the computer in front of her.

Shane glanced at her and said lightly, "Are you going to collaborate with Brightshine?"

Charlotte nodded. "We need to research some products. I remember that your company also has some products for e-commerce."

"I'm not interested in these things. The profits I get from the e-commerce platform is higher than the profits I can get from the product sales in ten years."

"Capitalists are truly different," she muttered.

"Isn't Rick a capitalist too?"

"Of course he isn't." Charlotte retorted subconsciously. Only after she finished speaking did she realize that she was being too emotional.

When Shane saw Charlotte's guilty look, Shane could only feel that she was horribly naive. He grabbed her chin with his long fingers and turned her face to face him.

Charlotte struggled, but she couldn't overcome his strength. "What, what are you doing?"

"Rick had much more floating capital than I ever will. But according to what you, he seems to be innocent in your opinion?"

"The way he does things is different from you." "Oh?"

"When dealing with the same matter, you go for aggression while he tries assimilation. So maybe that's why I feel that he's a little more humane." Charlotte explained.

"Humane capitalism. Sounds stupid."

"Everyone has their own opinions."

Charlotte couldn't win in an argument with him, so she didn't intend to keep talking about it.

Shane did not intend to argue with her too much on this matter. After all, when she was still in school, he had already established his company. For him, the most important thing was to maximize benefits and make use of time efficiently.

After a while.

Charlotte yawned, stretched, and accidentally touched Shane with her fingers. It was only then that she realized that Shane was beside her.

She apologized in a hurry. "I'm sorry."

"It almost feels like I don't exist at all." Shane rubbed the chin that she had poked.

"I, I forgot," Charlotte said, feeling guilty.

She had moved with so much strength that a very obvious bloody mark had appeared on Shane's lower jaw.

Charlotte immediately stood up. "You're bleeding. I'm going to get the first aid kit."

"Bleeding?" Shane thought.

Shane touched his jaw.

Judging from the amount of blood, the wound wouldn't be too big.

Did he need a first aid kit?

Charlotte returned with the first aid kit very quickly. She carefully dealt with his wounds.

Yup.

He needed it.

Shane's eyelashes were lowered, and his cold face became soft in the.

After Charlotte cleaned up the wound, she lifted her gaze. When she saw his smiling eyes, she was shocked and the cotton ball in her hand fell on his leg.

She picked it up in a hurry, but he grabbed her wrist.

"Are you going to marry Rick?" His voice was cold and ruthless, but it was also very enchanting.

She was just using Rick as a pretense.

Shane lowered his voice and said, "Hmm? Don't tell me, it's an excuse for you to sidestep me."

"I don't need to sidestep you. Besides, you were the one who proposed the termination of the contract, so there's nothing for me to sidestep. Rick has always been very nice to me, and it's normal for him to have feelings for me over time. I haven't thought about marriage yet," Charlotte explained in a very soft voice.

Shane narrowed his eyes.

In other words, them getting married was a foregone conclusion?

His grip tightened.

She was the mother of his child, but she wanted to marry someone else?

What a joke!

"And Sheryl approves of this?"

"I haven't told Sheryl yet."

"You'd better remember that you're a mother before a woman."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte had a sour feeling in her heart. She instinctively roared at him, "I didn't want to be a mother! I didn't do it willingly!"

Suddenly, the room became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

She hadn't become a mother willingly? Oh.
