Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 86

In the ward.

Charlotte glanced at the man who seemed to have no intention to leave and lowered her head awkwardly.

Although they are already legally married, she was still not used to being alone with a man with such a strong aura.

Furthermore, they were in an enclosed space. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"Mr. Fuller, you..."

"We're not at the company,"

Shane suddenly said in a cold tone.

"Sh... Shane."

Charlotte blurted out weakly. Her face flushed red instantly.

Shane looked at her mischievously, then put his hands on Sheryl's soft hair and said dotingly, "Let's go home and let mommy rest."

"Okay, bye, mommy."

Sheryl waved her chubby hands at Lottie and blew her an air kiss just like in the movies. Charlotte's lips curved into a smile at her antics.

It seemed she had to stop Sheryl from watching bad TV.

"Timothy, do you think Lottie will come home?"

At this moment, Elaine, who should have run away, returned to the Emerson's Villa. She leaned against Timothy's shoulder meekly.

"She can do whatever she wants!"

Timothy snapped with anger, then snaked his arm around his wife's waist.

The corners of Elaine's mouth curled unnoticeably. Her brows slightly knitted together while she looked loathingly at the hand around her waist.

"Lottie is still young, she'll figure it out."

"Humph!" He snorted.

Timothy immediately removed his hand from her waist as Elaine continued to speak of his unfilial daughter. He walked towards the boy playing with his wooden blocks at the stairs and picked him up with difficulty. "If she doesn't come home, I will disown her."

As he left, Elaine slowly revealed a satisfied smile.

'Charlotte Emerson, even if you marry Shane, you can't defeat me!' She thought.

In the afternoon, Charlotte sent a message to Anne, soon she heard hurried footsteps at the door.

"Why are you here so soon? Don't tell me you're nearby..."

As she finished speaking, Charlotte saw Braden following Anne closely behind. She couldn't help but raised her brows towards Anne.

"This is for you."

Braden held two cups of coffee in his hands. He gave one to Anne dotingly, then placed the other on the table beside Charlotte. He crossed his arms and looked at Charlotte, who was on the hospital bed, worriedly.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were in the hospital. Otherwise, I would have brought you something else."

"It's okay."

The corner of Charlotte's mouth twitched as she stared with disbelief at this playboy.

She had never heard him say anything of this sorts in his daily life.

"You..."

They both spoke at the same time. Braden put his arm around Anne's shoulders and said with a chuckle, "You go first."

"You can leave now since you've already accompanied me all the way here."

Anne didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Are you trying to get rid of me? I'm so sad." Braden put on a pitiful act. Charlotte immediately turned her gaze away from the couple.

He was simply the devil!

Braden felt better when he saw the woman in his arms hesitate. Then, he planted a big kiss on Anne.

She was so adorable!

After the door of the ward closed, Charlotte looked at Anne with scrutiny. She propped her face with both hands and asked her word by word, "How far are you in this relationship?"

"Not much... There's no progress."

Anne deliberately avoided eye contact with Charlotte. She suddenly tugged on her hospital gown and asked slyly," What about you? Have you... fallen in love with Shane?"

"That's impossible."

Charlotte immediately smiled and shook her head.

"Nothing is impossible. Besides, what if that man from five years ago was Shane? By the way, where is Sheryl? Why didn't I see her?"

Anne scanned around the room then looked at the woman on the bed with a puzzled look. Finally, she plopped down beside Charlotte and stared at her with bright eyes.

"Shane brought her home."

"Oh!" Anne replied playfully. Charlotte clearly understood the meaning behind her answer.

But, she was just bonded with Shane through a marriage agreement. Even with the legal documents, they were still bound to be separated in the future.

It was better not to put herself in this irresolute situation right from the start.

"Anne, I don't want to think about these things right now. You know the purpose of my return this time." Charlotte's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Anne looked at her familiar yet strange eyes and sighed quietly.

"Your family wants you to return. What are you going to do?"

The ward fell into an unusual silence again. Just as Anne thought she wouldn't get an answer, she heard a weak but firm voice.

"I want to go back and take back what's mine."

"Good."

Anne suddenly gave her thumbs up and looked at Charlotte with a smile. At the same time, she felt sympathetic towards her brother as he ended up missing his chance with Charlotte.

In the evening, Charlotte opened her eyes to see two figures before her. They both seemed to fit together perfectly. However, the harmonious atmosphere was quickly broken.

"Does your husband looks satisfy your needs?"

Shane had already noticed she was peeping at them the whole time. But he continued to play the wooden blocks with Sheryl, his lips quirked into a small smile.

"Uh..."

Charlotte lowered her head awkwardly as a faint blush quickly crept onto her face.

"Mommy, why is your face so red?"

The little girl sat on the carpet suddenly put down her toys and ran over, her footsteps pitter- pattering across the floor.

Charlotte quickly prepared herself to catch Sheryl, who was about to pounce onto her. However, she was confused when the child suddenly stopped a foot away from her.

"Mommy, daddy said you can't hold me because you are hurt."

Her face was full of determination.

Charlotte even had a feeling that the feature of the little girl before her seemed to resemble the man standing by the door.

Could it really be...

She dared not imagine if that were true.

"It's okay. Mommy is a superhero. Besides, Sheryl is very light."

Charlotte's heart ached for Sheryl as she spread out her arms to hug her. The little girl tilted her head in deep thought for a few seconds before slowly laying down on the bed. She tried her best not to touch any of Charlotte's wounds.

Shane suddenly walked towards them. His heart softened at the scene in front of him.

Perhaps, a quiet and peaceful life was at that very moment.

"You've decided to go stay with the Emerson family?""

Shane looked down at Charlotte's delicate face and felt a sense of familiarity.

"Well, I can't let him sell the house. That's the only memory left of my mother. It's very important to me."

After Anne left, Charlotte sent Shane a text message, telling him her decision to leave the hospital and return to the Emerson family.

'All right."

Shane nodded thoughtfully. He reached out his hand to smooth her furrowing brows, but paused midway. Then, he put his hand on his mouth as an act to cover up his embarrassment at the moment.

"I don't think you would bring Sheryl to the Emerson family."

He looked at Charlotte with absolute certainty.

"Well, I'm going to let Sheryl stay at Anne's house for a while..."

"No way."

Before Lottie could finish her sentence, she heard Shane's indisputable voice. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

"I am your husband and also Sheryl's father."
