Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 11

By the time Charlotte got home and washed up, it was already ten in the evening.

She carefully opened Sheryl's room and saw that Sheryl was already in bed. But the child did not have a sound sleep. She was still mumbling and calling out to her mother.

Charlotte sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted Sheryl on the back.

As she looked at Sheryl, she knitted her brows.

Although Sheryl was a girl, her eyebrows were thick and bushy, unlike Charlotte's.

By the looks of it, Sheryl must have gotten them from her biological father.

That night was a night Charlotte wished to forget. However, she had bumped into Elaine this afternoon. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

This encounter had brought up all of the memories from that night.

Thinking about the past, Charlotte couldn't help but feel bitter.

Although she had mentally prepared herself before returning to the country, she was furious when she saw Elaine.

She couldn't stop feeling hateful towards the Emerson family!

There was also resentment towards herself. If Charlotte hadn't become friends with Elaine in the first place, she wouldn't have brought disaster upon herself, and she wouldn't need to leave her motherland for so many years.

"Drip... Drip..."

Tears landed on the quilt quietly.

"Mommy, why are you crying?" At this time, Sheryl suddenly woke up. She stared at Lottie drowsily.

Before Charlotte could wipe her tears away, Sheryl gave Charlotte a hug and kissed Charlotte's teary eyes.

Sheryl imitated the way Charlotte usually comforted her as she said in a serious manner, "Mommy is a good baby."

Charlotte couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Mommy, do you want to share a bed with Sheryl? Get in." Sheryl lifted a corner of her blanket.

"Alright."

Charlotte took off her shoes and got in bed.

"Mommy, you smell so good. You're the nicest-smelling mommy in the whole world." Sheryl buried her little head in Charlotte's arms and sniffed her mother's scent.

Hearing what Sheryl had said, Charlotte felt blissful.

But at the same time, she remembered the problem that she had feared all these years.

"Sheryl, can mommy ask you a question?" Charlotte contemplated for a long time before saying that.

Sheryl nodded.

"What if... I'm saying what if we found daddy, do you want to live with daddy? Or do you want to live with mommy?"

The reason Charlotte hadn't returned until now was that she didn't want anyone to take Sheryl's custody from her, even if that person was Sheryl's father.

But putting herself in Sheryl's shoes, the child had a right to choose.

When Sheryl saw Charlotte's anxious expression, she pouted her small mouth and did not reply immediately.

The two of them fell into a brief silence.

"Sheryl, mommy is just..." Seeing that Sheryl was quiet, Charlotte parted her lips to speak.

But Sheryl beamed and revealed the wish she had kept hidden for a long time.

"I want to stay with mommy and daddy."

Hearing this, bitterness rose in Charlotte's heart, but she kept the smile on her face.

There was no way to live with a man she met by chance.
