Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 168

Just as Charlotte finished speaking, she felt her tongue go numb.

Because of the cold.

Shane's face sank instantly, and the look he gave her was cold to the bone.

If it weren't for the fact that it went against the principles of science, she would have assumed that her body temperature had dropped.

"Disgusting?" His thin lips barely moved, but Charlotte heard the word clearly nonetheless.

"I... I am going upstairs to rest."

Charlotte was so frightened that she turned around and ran. This time, her speed was so fast that Shane didn't have any time to react.

When she got back to her bedroom and closed the door, her heart was still beating wildly.

When she went downstairs again, Mrs. Fuller Senior and Sheryl had already come back.

The main reason was that she was hungry.

Ever since she took that medicine, she had been constantly hungry.

"Lottie, how are you feeling?" When Mrs. Fuller Senior saw her going downstairs, she immediately brought her to her side and patted her hand gently.

"I'm fine, Grandma." Charlotte didn't retract her hand and obediently sat down beside her.

"Don't always hide your problems. If worse comes to worst, come and live at my house. I will take care of you and Sheryl, okay?" Mrs. Fuller Senior smiled and said the latter half of the sentence to

Sheryl.

Sheryl nodded hard and said, "Yes! We can go and live and eat at Great-grandma's. She said that there are very pretty flowers and birds at her house."

Charlotte couldn't help laughing. "Okay, I'll take you to Great-grandma's house one day."

"That's great!"

Mrs. Fuller Senior patted the back of Charlotte's hand in a pleased manner. "Wouldn't it be great if you were my granddaughter-in-law? Even if this child isn't of the Fuller family's bloodline, just her character alone is enough to make me fond of her."

Charlotte was stunned. She subconsciously looked at Shane, who stood opposite her. Shane was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, half leaning against his desk. His black shirt sleeves were partially rolled up to his elbow. His gaze fell on the scenery outside the window.

He said that he had someone to take care of.

She knew it was Tiffany Allen.

Charlotte put away the sour emotions in her heart and said with a forced smile, "Grandma, I might not be able to call you this in the future. I'm going to be someone else's wife."

"Is that Jane child? That child isn't bad, he..."

"Aren't you going to dinner yet?"

Shane interrupted them coldly.

Charlotte immediately lowered her head.

Mrs. Fuller Senior harrumphed coldly. "How dare you interrupt me!"

Shane put down his coffee cup and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He said helplessly, "Grandma, you should sleep before half-past ten. It's not good for your health if you don't eat now."

Since his tone was still respectful, Mrs. Fuller Senior waved her hand and stood up. "Lottie, help me up. Don't worry. As long as I'm alive, neither you nor your daughter will have to worry about being bullied by a Fuller!"

This was a very serious statement.

It was obvious that Mrs. Fuller Senior really loved Sheryl.

Charlotte was very grateful. She clutched Mrs. Fuller Senior's hand tightly. "Grandma, I only have you as my grandmother. If there is anything I can do for you, I will."

"Oh? What if Shane..."

"That isn't something within my range of ability." Charlotte was very embarrassed.

"I know, you are just trying to make me happy." Mrs. Fuller Senior sighed. Even her legs and feet felt weak.

"As long as Shane wants to, I would definitely marry him again." Charlotte was shocked.

Mrs. Fuller Senior straightened her back instantly and said, "Sheryl, let's go to dinner."

"Okay!"

As Charlotte watched the two of them holding each other's hand as if they were about to 'run', Charlotte's lips twitched.

Mrs. Fuller Senior was too cute.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment before she managed to catch up to Mrs. Fuller Senior's pace. Before she could even take a couple of steps, a large, powerful hand landed on her shoulder.

Shane spat coldly, "Disgusting?"

Every strand of hair on Charlotte's body stood up as she shook her head forcefully, "I didn't think before I spoke."

"Use your brain and think through what you should ask and say to me."

"There's nothing I want to ask. I've said all that I should have said. I admit that I shouldn't have called you disgusting. But if you want to take care of others, don't come and bother me. If you do this..."

"Alright."

Shane interrupted Charlotte with that one emotionless word.

Although he felt a little heartache at saying it.

But before the situation could become worse, she...

She had chosen to hide her feelings.

It was better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. Even if she was only relying on him now, it was better to hide everything away.

When a person felt as inferior as dust, beautiful flowers would not bloom. It would only turn into barren land and decadent illusions.

Charlotte lowered her eyelashes to hide the hurt in her eyes.

Perhaps it was because of her mood, although she was obviously very hungry, she didn't eat much.

She went back to her room and went to bed early.

She had to prepare a speech for when she would have to meet Christopher in two days. She didn't know if Christopher would be willing to work in the Jane Corporation.

Although what she wanted to do was not very proper, now that Christopher and Shane were each on their own, it didn't matter where they worked.

As Charlotte kept thinking about things, she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day.

Mrs. Fuller Senior said that she was going to take Sheryl to watch a movie, so Charlotte suggested that they all go together.

She thought that Shane would not follow them because of their talk yesterday, but he acted as if nothing had happened. He still carried Sheryl with his eyes full of love.

It was really great to have a girl be close to her father.

Charlotte didn't know what to say, fearing that Mrs. Fuller Senior wouldn't be upset again.

When they arrived at the cinema, Sheryl chose a movie with a small black cat in the leading role. Its Internet ratings were quite good.

Initially, Charlotte was worried that she wouldn't be able to understand the movie. However, someone said that there were exciting action scenes as well. Even adults would be able to enjoy it.

They bought popcorn and sat down.

Sheryl was very excited. Charlotte had to repeatedly remind her not to disturb others.

"But the little black cat is very cute," Sheryl said aggrievedly.

"You can squeal internally."

"Can I do that internally?" Sheryl wondered.

Sheryl blinked her big eyes and nodded hard. She covered her mouth to hold back her words, and praised the little black cat for being so cute internally.

Sheryl was sitting between Charlotte and Mrs. Fuller Senior, and Shane on Mrs. Fuller Senior's other side. They were not too far away from each other, so they could hear each other clearly. However, they couldn't see each other clearly.

Shane took a second look at Charlotte. In the darkness, there was only her silhouette, but it was this silhouette that made him feel that it was extremely happy.

But when he thought of what the woman had said...

He immediately withdrew his gaze, his indifferent eyes no longer looking at anyone.

"Lottie is really good at educating children." Mrs. Fuller Senior said lightly.

"That's right."

"With such a well-behaved child, even if you get mad, you have to resist getting mad at her. It's much better than finding another child."

Shane's brows furrowed and he looked at his grandmother with a probing gaze.

Mrs. Fuller Senior smiled and said with a little mystery, "I'm already a man whose heart belongs to someone. Just one is enough."

"You mean..."

"Haven't you checked the child's background?"

"I've checked."

Mrs. Fuller Senior nodded with satisfaction and said, "Check it carefully. Don't miss anything."

So what if they had the result? RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

As Sheryl's mother, she would know better than him.

Even the document he had had only been obtained by Cole once she had gotten rid of it.

She never mentioned it.

She hadn't said a single word.

He could be good to her, but he would never give in.

"Wow." Sheryl still couldn't help but cry out, but she was not alone. Many people were amazed.

Charlotte touched the child's head and brought the drink to her mouth.

Sheryl scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Thank you, Mommy."

She took a sip and handed it to Mrs. Fuller Senior beside her. "Great- grandma, you should drink too. And Daddy too!"

Even though they each had their own cups.

Mrs. Fuller Senior took a sip and handed the cup to Shane. "Your daughter wants you to have a sip."

Shane didn't even use the cutlery that others had touched. He handled them himself after disinfection. Straws were the same.

However, at the thought that this was Sheryl's intention.

He could only lean over and take a sip.

He didn't have much physical discomfort. His mysophobia was not serious. It was dependent on the person involved.

Sheryl picked up the cup and handed it to Charlotte. "Mommy, take a sip too!"
