Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 287

However, Charlotte was Charlotte after all. She would never doubt Shane's words.

Holding back her discomfort, she forced herself to raise her head and look at the people on the other side. Shane smirked and pressed his lips on her collarbone. He kissed it hard, leaving a hickey.

As Charlotte exclaimed in surprise, she saw the eyes of those people from the Stevens Family.

They looked at her and Shane with traces of disdain in their eyes.

"They probably think that we're an ordinary couple." She lowered her head and reported to Shane.

"They won't."

"Huh?"

"The price of the VIP pool here is enough to buy a small company. They were probably looking at you with disdain and disgust."

It really seemed to be that way. Charlotte nodded and asked, "Why is that?"

Shane straightened his body and sat on the steps next to the pool. He put her on his lap and said, "They probably think that I've rented you."

"Maybe they think I don't know that they're looking at me? But there must be something wrong with their eyes. They're so close and have been staring at us for so long, yet they still haven't figured out who we are?" Charlotte didn't dare to move, but she felt weird sitting on him.

She wanted to break away from his arms, but she couldn't.

"There are mists," Shane said.

"Then how can we see their faces clearly?"

"Because of the density and distribution of the mist."

Shane reached out his hand and then retracted it. "Can you see it?"

When she saw it, Charlotte nodded her head.

The moment he reached out his hand, his fingertips seemed to be enveloped by a thick cloud of mist. And when he retracted his hand, the mists moved backward along with his movement.

Therefore, when he reached out his hand, the farther part of his hand was blurrier than the closer part. That was to say, the mists here were denser than those on the Stevens Family's side. So, in certain positions, it was natural for her and Shane to see them, and they wouldn't see the two of them.

Just when Charlotte thought that it was astonishing and wanted to look at the other side again, she met Rick's eyes.

In a split second, Charlotte knew that Rick had recognized her, but he quickly looked away. He continued to chat and laugh with the Stevens Family, pretending as if he hadn't seen her.

"Shane, I think Rick might have seen me." Charlotte knew that Rick had recognized her, but...he acted as if he didn't.

Shane leaned backward as he glanced at the three members of the Stevens Family.

Their expressions were the same as before. Rick probably hadn't told the others about this matter.

"Let's leave before they catch us." Shane was just about to stand up.

"Hey!" Charlotte immediately clung to him.

"What? Sad to let me go?" He looked at her with amusement.

Sad to leave him? She just couldn't get out of his arms!

However, he got up and kept walking forward. Not to mention leaving, she couldn't even change a position, so she was forced to lie in his arms.

"Young couples nowadays really don't care about the occasion." A voice came from the pool at the Steven Family's side.

Charlotte buried his head in Shane's arms.

Rick, who had been holding Kendall in his arms, looked at Shane with an intense gaze. Under the water, his hands were already clenched into fists.

Shane didn't react too much and directly left with Charlotte.

The two separated in front of the locker rooms.

Seeing this, Rick stood up and said. "Mr. Stevens, Caleb, I'm going to buy some drinks. What would you all like to drink?"

"Buy drinks? It seems like you can only buy that at a takeaway shop. Bring me a cup of milk tea if you can." Caleb's lips twitched. "Sorry to bother you, Rick."

"No problem at all. What about you, Mr. Stevens?" Rick asked with a smile.

"The most ordinary tea will do. Don't add sugar."

"Okay. Kendall, as usual?"

Kendall nodded at him and held his palm reluctantly. " Rick, do you want me to go with you?"

Before Rick could open her mouth, Caleb said impatiently, "He's only going to buy some drinks. Why do you have to follow him?"

Kendall was a little unhappy and pouted.

"It's more convenient for me to go alone. Besides, even if you follow me, I won't let you carry the drinks." Rick caressed Kendall's head and got up to leave.

Ryland nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Kendall, you have good taste."

Upon hearing that, Kendall's expression mostly remained unchanged. She just made a face at her brother.

"What's so good about him? He's obviously a hypocrite," Caleb said with a cold smile.

"What's wrong? You think you're so good yourself?" Ryland asked back.

Caleb was silenced by his father. He pursed his lips and didn't reply.

Only then was Kendall satisfied. She held her father's arm affectionately and said, "Dad, you treat me the best. My brother only knows how to bully me."

"The prerequisite for me to treat you well is that you won't get me into trouble again, do you understand?"

"I promise that, as long as I marry Rick, I won't get into any trouble anymore."

"Hmph. You better keep your promise."

Although Ryland was being harsh on Kendall, his eyes were already smiling.

Kendall was not his actual daughter. To be specific, she was his niece, his eldest brother's daughter. And his eldest brother was the person he respected most in his entire life. In his heart, Caleb could never compare to Kendall.

Kendall was the last wonder his elder brother had left in this world.

Charlotte finished changing and walked out of the locker room. She toyed with the number card as she walked to the lounge. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Shane didn't wait for her at the exit.

He hadn't come out yet?

Charlotte looked around. When she finally spotted Shane standing next to the vending machine, she automatically walked in that direction. When she got closer, she realized that not only Shane was there, Rick was there as well.

Rick came out too.

Charlotte stopped in her tracks and found a more secluded place to hide.

"Are you so afraid of me getting close to Lottie?” Rick inserted a coin into the vending machine and pressed the coffee button.

"Just in case." "Shane, I've never treated you like this before."

"Never treated me like that before? You even used me as an excuse to break up with Charlotte." Shane half- leaned against the wall. His bangs scattered in front of his forehead, covering the frostiness in his eyes.

Upon hearing that, Rick chuckled and said, "Was I wrong for that? If I forced her to do that kind of thing, but she still regarded me as a divine God, would you be able to stand it?"

"Do you think you fit to be called that way?" Shane retorted.

"True. I'm not Shane Fuller. I don't deserve the honor of being called God, but at least I have the right to be a human."

"According to your logic, since you have the right to be a human, as a God, I also have the right to control humans."

The two of them were scoring off each other, but there was no animosity in the air.

Rick opened the can and took a sip of the ridiculously sweet commercial coffee. He looked at Shane with mockery in his eyes and said, "I guess you're probably worried. Because the more Charlotte regards you as a God, the more it means she doesn't love you, right?"

"That's not important." "If you really think that it's not important, it's just a project, you..." "So you want to receive your goods in perfect condition from the Stevens Family without my involvement? Do you think it's possible?" At this moment, Shane finished his soda water. He flattened the can and threw it into the trash bin.

Rick didn't think of that. In his mind, when he decided to break up with Charlotte, Shane should have already added him to his blacklist.

But he didn't. He was actually considering it from Rick's point of view.

How?

How could he be so chill about it?

Rick endured his anger and tried to calm down the fury in his heart. "Shane, who am I in your eyes?"

Shane was already planning to leave. After all, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a little woman hiding in the corner. He didn't know when she came or how long she had been there. However, he had never adopted the bad habit of letting her wait for him for too long.

"It's not important."

He replied nonchalantly and once again took a step forward.

"If it's not important, then why do you want to help me?"

Why was he able to control everything as if he was a savior?

He had obviously lost NC.
