Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 405

After all, she was his girlfriend. Rick still felt sorry for her. So, he carried her out of the bathroom.

Kendall kept shaking, but she did not dare to move. All the nerves in her body were snapped. Her eyes were hollow as she gripped the sheets, and her teeth had left a bloody mark on her lips. "Rick, look, you still feel sorry for me. You care about me, don't you?"

However, Rick did not pay attention to her at all. He turned sideways and pressed on her shoulders, keeping a distance from her. The pain she felt was mixed with an inexplicable emptiness.

Kendall immediately moved closer to him. He was dodging her, so she tried harder.

"Ouch!" Kendall burst into tears.

"Are you crazy?" Rick grabbed her shoulders firmly and said, "If you keep acting like this, I'll send you to the hospital tomorrow!"

"Let's break up tomorrow..."

Kendall muttered to herself.

What?

Rick thought he must have heard wrong.

Suddenly, Kendall decided to leave him. She threw herself off the bed and dragged herself away from him. She tugged at the quilt but felt that it was no longer necessary. Because no matter what, she had already become a disgusting person in his heart.

"Let's break up! Don't you want to get rid of me? I've already thought it through. I'm not cheap anymore, and I will not follow you around anymore." When she said that, she did not dare to look at

him, for she was afraid that she would waver if she saw the slightest trace of reluctance in his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Rick's tone remained the same. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

To him, losing her was indeed a problem. He would have a hard time explaining it to Shane and Charlotte, whereas Avery and Braden's plan might be leaked to the Stevens Family by Kendall. But to him, personally, he wouldn't have to take care of her feelings from now on and wouldn't have to spend time with someone he didn't like. He had never enjoyed spending time taking care of her and taking her out to have fun.

The reason why he said that he liked her was most likely because he didn't bear to give up on the time he had devoted.

The lost time had made him force himself to accept her.

At least that was what he thought.

"I'm sure."

Kendall's voice quivered but sounded extremely resolute.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and stared at Rick. "I want to break up with you..."

She finally understood that he would not feel reluctant. When she left him, he would only light up firecrackers and celebrate. And just like in the past, he would work, sleep, and eat every day. No matter how sad and desperate she was, his mood would be as calm as the surface of the water, without any ups and downs.

Just like how she had risked everything a moment ago, but he only wanted to flee from her.

"It's up to you."

After saying that, Rick walked into the bathroom again.

Kendall looked at him in misery as he walked away. Only after a long time did she finally stand up. On her way to the door, she stumbled and fell several times, but she did not cry out in pain. She left from one room to another, then took out her pajamas and put them on. Then she slid into the blanket and went to sleep.

She cried softly as she held on to the edge of the blanket.

Initially, she didn't want to break up with him. She had wanted to tell him that she was a maniac, a maniac who loved him only.

When Rick came out of the bathroom and found that Kendall was no longer there, he frowned and ignored it. He planned to sleep after he had finished cleaning up the mess. After all, he was worn out.

However...

As soon as he lay down, he saw a blotch of blazing red.

Stunned, he reached out and touched it.

As she grew from a girl to a lady and a woman, Kendall had always cared about him with all her heart. He couldn't force himself to be brutal toward her, and that was why he kept her by his side. But in the end, not only did he hurt her, but he also wasted his time.

Perhaps he should have been more heartless from the very beginning.

Rick sighed and ignored the bloodstain. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

The next day.

Kendall got up early in the morning. She had wanted to drive away secretly, but she saw that Charlotte was still in the living room. So, she walked downstairs nervously.

"Uhm, Charlotte..."

Charlotte had just woken up. She didn't have the habit of sleeping during the day, so she woke up soon after dawn.

Seeing Kendall walk down in her pyjamas, she joked, "Did you sleep well with Rick yesterday?"

"I broke up with him."

"Is it because he failed to satisfy your needs?" Charlotte teased as she patted her head. "Don't say angry words. You have to be more patient with the people you like."

"He likes you so much. So, why can't you find a way to like him?" Kendall asked with her head hung low.

"Yeah, he does like me. But he loves himself more."

"I want to love myself a little more, too."

"You're different from me. Do you have any other goals after leaving Rick?" Charlotte continued to caress her hair. "Honestly, Kendall, I'm very envious of your absolute courage to love and hate. So even when I hated you the most, I only lamented over why you would be nice to me when you want to and extremely cruel to me when you said you wanted to slap me."

"I'm sorry, I..."

"I'm not blaming you. I just want to say that you treated me that way because I'm not that important to you. But it might be different in Rick's case."

Kendall bit her lip and shook her head.

Charlotte stopped trying to advise her. She put down her hand and said, "It's not really elegant for you to go out like this. This is my windbreaker. You can wear it and leave."

"Thank you."

"Is there anything else you want to say to Rick?"

"I'm going home to pack my luggage first. Can you help me to distract him for a little bit? I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to leave if I see him."

"All right."

Shortly after Kendall left, Rick went downstairs.

He saw Charlotte at first glance and walked to her side, "Have you seen..."

"She has already gone home to pack her luggage and even told me to distract you for a while. She said she was afraid that she wouldn't want to leave once she sees you. It's not too late to chase after her now. This is the key to Shane and my car." Charlotte took out the key from her pocket and passed it to Rick.

Rick took the key but did not move.

"If you don't go now, she'll reach home soon."

"If I break up with her, will it affect your plan?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said, "Rick, I really didn't realize that you're an a*shole. You've been dating her for so long, and you're just going to dump her like that?"

Dump?

Before yesterday, he had never touched her at all.

Rick only smiled bitterly and said, "This is why I don't want to be with her."

In the end, he still took the key and left. Just like what Charlotte said, he had to take responsibility for Kendall, even if he never wanted to sleep with him.

Charlotte was stunned.

Rick had actually been a gentleman for such a long time?

Such a pro.

If only Shane were half like him, she might have been abroad with Sheryl by now.

Charlotte was lost in her thoughts as she put the cocoa powder into her milk.

If Kendall really returned to the Stevens Family, would she betray them? That was indeed a problem.

On the other side...

Kendall returned to Rick's house. She looked around the house that brought back memories and cried while she packed her clothes. Her hands were really fast, as if she was rushing for time.

Rick arrived downstairs. But he didn't get off the car after he parked it.

He stared blankly at the rattan chair on the balcony of the second floor. He recalled the times when he had to work overtime at the company and Kendall had to go home and play games because she was bored. Kendall would sit there every day. She even caught a cold several times because of

that. He had reminded her many times, but she never listened and only bought a small blanket online.

She would fall asleep there every time and wait for him to carry her back to her room.

Rick massaged his temples.

At that moment, Kendall came out with her suitcase. Before she could take a few steps, her legs went limp, and she slammed into the wall.

She seemed to be stunned by herself. So, she leaned against the wall for a long time before finally crying out loud.
