Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 326

Avery held his phone as Shane's words echoed in his mind.

"Rick, Shane said that letting Charlotte see Kendall is a good thing. Do you understand what he meant?" Avery sent Shane the address and put the phone back into his pants pocket.

"I don't know. Let's talk about it when we see him." Rick also did not understand what Shane meant.

With Shane's personality, he shouldn't think that Kendall and Charlotte had the potential to become friends, so what he said was...

Rick couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. After all, he knew Shane wouldn't say such a thing. Otherwise, Rick wouldn't have asked permission to bring Kendall.

Soon, Rick's driver parked the car in front of the Japanese restaurant. Avery looked around and saw a black Tesla. He smiled and said, "Look, it's Mr. Fuller's new car. He used millions of dollars to buy a bunch of batteries and scrap metal."

"That's an electric car." Rick shook his head helplessly.

"Isn't renewable energy just a bunch of batteries? In a few years, the money needed to change the batteries can be used to buy a car." Avery continued to tease relentlessly. In his opinion, buying a so- called renewable energy car was stupid.

Rick looked at him disapprovingly and frowned. "Renewable energy can reduce pollution, and degradable batteries are always better than releasing exhaust into the atmosphere."

"I never thought you were a tree-hugger. Whatever. Based on cost efficiency, I will never consider getting this kind of car."

"My brother said the same thing," Kendall said in a low voice.

"I'm going to buy a Tesla then."

Kendall widened her eyes and looked at Avery in disbelief. She huffed, "Hey! You're so mean!"

Avery shrugged his shoulders, looking pleased since he knew Kendall couldn't do anything to him. Kendall really couldn't do anything to him. Even if it was her own brother, he probably couldn't do anything to Avery either. Hence, she decided to remain silent.

She couldn't win her argument anyway.

After the three of them entered the Japanese restaurant, the waiter nodded immediately when he heard Shane's name. He led the way for them with great hospitality.

"I have a hunch that we probably won't be able to finish all the dishes that Mr. Fuller ordered." Avery looked at the enthusiastic waiter and thought back to a long time ago when he had eaten with Charlotte and Shane.

Actually, there was nothing special about the meal. Shane had simply ordered all the dishes on the menu. When Shane entered the restaurant, the waiter fell over himself in his haste to serve them. Once, when they went to a Michelin star restaurant, Shane booked the entire venue...

What could Avery say about that?

Before he met Shane, Avery had always thought that he was similar to Shane.

But now.

Wealth was just a word, but he felt as though he and Shane were worlds apart.

They followed the waiter all the way into the back of the building. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the number of dishes on the table, "Mr. Fuller, you ordered the

whole menu, didn't you?"

Some dishes weren't available, so we only have these." Charlotte raised a cup that was filled with a pink beverage and said, "Welcome, come and eat." Avery smiled and was the first to enter the room, followed by Rick and Kendall, and finally Rick's assistant.

Kendall felt a little uncomfortable. He was always deliberately the moment she entered the room. She was worried about Charlotte, but the other woman didn't pay her any attention. She didn't even look at Kendall. After drinking some wine, Charlotte's face became a little red.

Kendall stared at her for a while. Suddenly, they met each other's eyes, which startled Kendall.

Charlotte glanced at her and quickly withdrew her gaze. She took a chicken skewer, saying, "This one is delicious. I want some more."

Shane picked up the electronic menu and ordered two more portions of chicken skewers.

Rick also went over and ordered two bowls of soup and a salad. He didn't like to eat raw food, so every time he went to a Japanese restaurant, he would order some udon or something soupy like that. It was better for his digestion.

Several minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it." Avery stood up and opened the door.

Charlotte was looking at the steak in front of her. However, she suddenly screamed. She was so frightened that she threw the fork aside and raised her head in suspicion.

"This..." Charlotte's eyes widened.

The waiter who came in spilled all the soup on Rick's arm. Although Rick didn't show that he was in any pain, blisters were appearing on his skin. The waiter apologized with a pale face.

Kendall was panicking. She trembled, not knowing what to do. Avery moved far away and grabbed his phone to make a call.

"Avery, don't call anyone." Charlotte reached out her hand and stopped Avery. "This kind of burn can be treated at any hospital. If you get someone to come here, it might delay treatment even more. Send him to the hospital first."

After he heard this, Avery nodded and put the phone back into his pocket, "Then I will send Rick to the hospital." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Kendall, can you drive?" Charlotte, however, looked at Kendall.

Since the two saw each other today, this was the first thing Charlotte said to her. Kendall nodded absent-mindedly, "I can do it."

"Kendall, send Rick to the hospital, Avery, you go pick up your doctor, and then meet up at the hospital."

"Nice, this will speed things up." Avery agreed with her proposal. "You and Mr. Fuller will..."

"We'll call the police."

Avery almost forgot about calling the police. Since Rick was so seriously injured, it would be bad if there were any loose ends. It would be better if they made a report and had official records of the incident. Avery thought about it and nodded, "I understand."

They each took action separately.

An hour later, at the hospital.

Rick was getting a drip set up in the emergency room with Avery and his doctor, Skylar, beside him.

"It's not a serious injury. You just need to change the bandage after the drip. But be careful not to get it wet." Skylar ordered.

"Thank you," Rick said politely.

"That's what I'm here for," replied Skylar with a smile.

"I've heard from Lottie too. The waiter said that you stood up and bumped into him. Now he's at the police station insisting that it's not his fault. I heard that his parents have already gone over there. Lottie wants us to talk once we finish up here and get over there." Avery handed the phone to Rick.

Rick didn't take it. He shook his head and said, "I don't want to go. The waiter must be very troublesome. Otherwise, Mr. Fuller and Charlotte would definitely deal with this privately. After all, we don't care about compensation money."

"Yes, calling the police was only to get a record done. Otherwise, if the police hear that you got injured, they might think it's something more serious. That would be worse," Avery said jokingly.

"When it comes to this, I admire Shane very much." Rick sighed.

He taught Charlotte very well.

After Rick finished with his drip, the three of them went to the police station. By then, it was completely dark, and several police officers who were handling the case had also gone off shift.

The person who greeted Avery was the deputy head of the police station. "Avery, I didn't expect you to be in Brine."

"I've been in Brine for several months."

"There's no news from the higher-ups." The deputy head was surprised.

"My family didn't know I've come to Brine. But you, you haven't changed in a long time. You even looked younger and younger." Avery made fun of him.

"Me? Hahaha, you're such a sweet-talker, Mr. Hart."

The deputy director pushed the door open slowly. "Avery, the biggest reason Mr. Fuller asked me to come over to greet you is—I'm being honest here— no matter what happens, you must control your temper."

"Is it so troublesome?" Avery frowned.

It was just a waiter. It was impossible for his family to be so influential. Moreover, even if he had influence, in the whole of Brine, who could oppose Shane?

The deputy director shook his head meaningfully. "You'll understand when you see it."
