Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 160

"My daughter will not call Rick her father," Shane said coldly. He shook her off and left without looking back.

He had stayed with her all night because he was afraid that she would feel cold being in the living room alone.

Even if she didn't notice that he had always been there, it didn't matter. He didn't do this to please her.

The only thing was...

He always thought that she only joked about being Rick's fiancee, but he didn't think that...

The veins on Shane's arm became slightly visible, and there was a coldness in his eyes that would be able to freeze the air in front of him.

Charlotte didn't even have time to react. The meaning behind what he said had shocked her enough that she fell to the floor.

She rubbed her butt and quickly looked at the computer. Fortunately, the computer was not broken.

"This bastard," she thought.

He cared so much that Sheryl called him Daddy. If he found out that Sheryl was his daughter, wouldn't he become even more of a menace then? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

It seemed that he really liked Sheryl.

If he cared more than just about Sheryl, then that would be great.

Charlotte was shocked by her own thoughts. She hurried upstairs with the computer in her arms.

She couldn't and wouldn't fall in love with Shane.

Once bitten, twice shy.

The next day.

After Charlotte had breakfast with Mrs. Fuller Senior, she gave Ms. Laura the address of Sheryl's kindergarten.

Anne's feelings were complicated when she heard that Sheryl had stayed with the Fuller family. She asked tentatively, "Don't tell me you don't want my brother anymore?"

"It's not like that. Shane's grandmother is back in town and she really liked Sheryl. She said that I'm too busy and don't have time to take care of Sheryl. I asked Sheryl about this too. Sheryl says that if I'm not accompanying her and her Great-grandma can..." Charlotte sighed.

After all, she was just a kid. Whoever played with her was a good person.

However, Charlotte also knew that Sheryl had always been very sensible. The child would make such a choice because she knew that Charlotte was busy.

"That's good. You can visit Sheryl when you have the time. It's better than ruining your relationship with the Fuller family." Anne said.

"They don't know that Sheryl is Shane's."

"What!? Then, then why did you leave Sheryl behind?" Anne was stunned.

She thought that Charlotte had already told Shane the truth a long time ago.

That was why she had always thought of Shane as a piece of shit.

Charlotte hadn't said anything before going abroad. And she hasn't said anything since returning.

Anne felt that this wasn't right. "No, Lottie. There is no harm in telling them the truth. You might even get shares from Shane's company. Those are worth a lot!"

"I was afraid that they would take Sheryl away, so..."

"Are you stupid? Isn't Sheryl with them now?"

"It's not the same."

Anne didn't understand how it was different.

Charlotte said that she had already arrived at the office and was going to start working, so she ended their conversation.

Anne didn't give up easily. She went directly to the Jane Corporation, planning to talk to Rick and Lottie about this matter.

When she arrived at her meeting, Charlotte could only see Anne's face in her mind's eye. She was smiling, looking like a malicious weasel.

Charlotte sighed.

She knew that her best friend would not give up so easily, so she quickly finished the meeting. She wanted to talk to her about this matter during the break.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to call Anne, the woman had already shown up.

It happened to be lunchtime, so Charlotte took Anne to the canteen and said, "You're really my best friend."

"I am not only here to see you, but also to see my brother."

"Why are you looking for your brother?"

"I want to know what he thinks about you not telling Shane the truth."

Charlotte was stunned.

She subconsciously felt that she should not bother Rick with such a trivial matter, but she really wanted to know what he thought.

Fortunately, she didn't need to worry about it. Anne was a very capricious sister, so she immediately called her busy brother over.

It was only after Rick came to the canteen that he found out Charlotte was also there.

"Do you both have something to talk to me about, or is it just Anne?" Rick sat down, looked through the menu, and pointed to one of the dishes. The waiter immediately went to put in the order.

"I'm the one looking for you," Anne said.

"Okay, talk."

Anne told him the whole story.

Rick frowned as he listened to Anne speak. "Are you telling me that Shane got drugged five years ago and could have died, so Lottie got raped in the process of saving him?"

Anne nodded vigorously. "That's what Shane thinks is the case. In fact, Charlotte didn't know who Shane was at that time. Rick, I have told you about this before."

"Well, I didn't pay much attention to it at that time."

He had always thought that the child that Charlotte gave birth to was the child of some ex.

So he did not pursue her too hard. He was worried that she would refuse him because of her love for the child.

He didn't expect that the child was just an accident.

Anne had mentioned it before, but he was so busy at that time, how could he have remembered such a small thing?

It seemed that he had missed a good opportunity to keep Charlotte by his side.

"Rick, do you think we should tell Shane or not?"

"There are two parts to this problem. The first issue is whether you want to tell him. The other is whether you should." Rick analyzed immediately.

Anne looked confused. "Stop using your debate skills. I don't understand."

Charlotte smiled from the side.

That's right.

Rick had been in the debate team when she was in university.

It was not the college debate team but the international team.

His debate skills were world-famous.

"The first part of the problem is very simple. If telling Shane can get you more benefits than keeping it from him, then tell him. As for the second part, I don't think you should tell him. There's no reason for Charlotte to tell him anything"

"So..."

"It's up to her," Rick answered simply and clearly.

Anne pouted her lips and said, "I think I should tell Shane. Then she can use her daughter to get some of Shane's shared.."

"Anne." Charlotte felt helpless.

"If Lottie were such a person, then accepting my proposal would be much better than telling Shane that Sheryl is his child. That way, half of the Jane Corporation would be hers."

When she heard this, Anne's eyes lit up. "So the reason why Lottie didn't tell Shane is because of this!"

What?

Charlotte was dumbfounded.

Anne suddenly left happily.

Charlotte didn't even have time to react. She looked up at the man in front of her in confusion.

He was having his meal languidly. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He looked gentle and elegant.

"Aren't you afraid that she will misunderstand us and spread this everywhere?"

"Are you scared?"

"I have a child, and I have had a divorce. You really don't mind?"

Rick shrugged. "Why should I mind?"

Charlotte was speechless. These things were very difficult for her, but they didn't seem to matter to Rick.

The way he had explained things so simply made her feel at ease.

She lowered her head and smiled bitterly. "Anyone else would mind, not to mention..."

"I don't care why you gave birth. I only know that I won't let you go. I will respect you and give you space. But at the same time, even if you gave birth to Sheryl because you were in love with him, I still wouldn't mind."

What he mind was,

"Will she fall in love with me?" he wondered.

Sheryl was so cute, why would he mind her?

Charlotte felt a pain in her heart. She said in a low voice, "I saw some people on the Internet say that we are a good match, but someone commented something about how a used woman with a child in tow could possibly be part of the Jane family."

"Are you going to be with me? Are you going to accept my proposal?" Rick asked bluntly.

"Of, of course I haven't thought of that..."

"If you don't like me, if you don't think that I can take care of you, then why should you care about what people think of you being with me?"

"But, it's not good for your reputation. The head of the Jane Corporation fancies a single mother, and he wants to marry her. Public opinion would definitely not be good."

"Really?" he wondered.

She cared more about his reputation than he did. Rick put down his knife and fork and opened his mouth-
