Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 120

Mrs. Fuller Senior then turned to look at Charlotte, who was standing with Shane. She pointed at the seat opposite her and said kindly, "Sit down. It must have been pretty tiring rushing over here from Shane's."

"Okay." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Charlotte raised her head and saw a vicious gaze coming from one side. She pursed her red lips and sat down nevertheless.

"Raina, go and see if dinner is ready?"

"Mother, a servant can go."

Raina didn't want to do it, so she hadn't even stood up.

"I'd feel better if you did it. I'm not back here often, after all."

Mrs. Fuller Senior continued kindly.

"Okay."

After Raina left, Mrs. Fuller Senior looked at Charlotte with a kind gaze and asked earnestly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Charlotte Emerson."

Charlotte nervously introduced herself. When she saw clear anger in the older woman's expression, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Even the child knows to call me Greatgrandma. Shouldn't my granddaughter-in-law do the same? Was it because that rascal Shane did not hold a proper wedding for you, that's why you..."

Mrs. Fuller Senior acted as if she was about to throw her cane over at Shane, but the little girl in her arms stopped her.

"Great-grandma, my Daddy is very handsome. What if he gets disfigured? Then my mommy won't want daddy anymore."

Charlotte, who was sitting across from Mrs. Fuller Senior, broke out in a cold sweat. She almost went forward to cover Sheryl's unguarded mouth. Carefully, she used the corner of her eye to give the man sitting beside her a look.

The man was holding his cell phone with a poker face as usual, acting as if he didn't hear these words.

"Mom, dinner is ready."

Raina observed the strange atmosphere in the living room and felt a sense of happiness. Even her voice became light and lively.

"Let's go then."

Mrs. Fuller Senior ordered. Only then did the few behind her followed.

At the dining table, Mrs. Fuller Senior naturally sat at the head of the table while Raina sat beside her. Charlotte randomly found a seat and made to sit down, but Shane shifted her and her seat over to one side.

When she came back to her senses, Charlotte glared at him in anger and embarrassment. When she suddenly noticed the meaningful gaze of the person at the head of the table, she wished she could find a hole in the ground and hide herself in it.

Shane had definitely done it on purpose!

Charlotte couldn't help but sigh when she saw all the different types of dishes on the table. To say that this a royal banquet wouldn't have been an exaggeration.

Under immense pressure, Charlotte kept her head lowered as she enjoyed the delicious food.

"Eat some more."

Shane suddenly glanced at the thin woman next to him with a smile and sneakily put some meat on her plate.

The corners of Charlotte's mouth twitched a little. In order to reciprocate his courtesy, she casually picked up a vegetable from the plate in front of her along with some onions on the plate and passed it to Shane.

Aunt Ophelia, who was standing to one side, couldn't help gasping when she saw it. She was a little worried.

Shane looked at the two lone vegetables on his plate. Just as his fork touched it, he saw Raina standing up with an anxious expression on her face.

"Shane."

Charlotte only thought that Raina didn't like her and didn't think too much of it.

"Daddy, is it good?"

Sheryl, who had been arranged by Mrs. Fuller Senior to sit next to her, asked with a face full of innocence.

"Yes."

Shane's thin lips smiled, and he nodded.

Aunt Ophelia took a look at the pallor on Raina's face and said, "Mr. Fuller, do you need to invite Mr. Zane over?"

"There's no need."

Shane glanced at the woman who was looking at him from the corner of his eye and shook his head.

Aunt Ophelia could only walk away silently from the dining table. Raina gave Charlotte a vicious look. Raina didn't eat much. She used being full as an excuse to sit on the sofa in the living room.

When Shane walked over, Raina immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "Shane, you don't eat onions, why did you still..."

"I know my own business, so you don't have to worry about it."

Shane didn't say anything further. He turned and walked away.

Charlotte didn't know what was going on with the conversation between the two in the living room. She felt the tension in the room, but she couldn't understand why.

Originally, Charlotte had wanted to leave the Fuller family's old mansion after dinner. But when she saw that Mrs. Fuller Senior didn't want her and Sheryl to leave, she could only accompany the old woman. She occasionally answered some of her questions.

"Can I call you Lottie?"

Mrs. Fuller Senior suddenly smiled as she sat beside Charlotte and placed her slightly weathered hand over Charlotte's folded ones.

"Of course you can."

Charlotte nodded with a smile on her face.

"Where are you working now?"

"At the Fuller Group."

Before Charlotte could answer, Shane lazily put down the newspaper in his hands and answered for her.

"Okay, then you can go to work together. Not bad, you can save on gas. It's good thinking."

When Mrs. Fuller Senior saw how her grandson was so protective of her granddaughter- in- law, she couldn't help but tease him.

Charlotte didn't expect to hear a joke from a woman more than half a century old. She was shocked for a moment.

"She's a designer. She's now working as a secretary at the Fuller Group."

Shane didn't care about his grandmother's words and answered directly. It seemed that he didn't intend to hide anything.

"Not bad, I like it. I hope to meet your parents someday. It's not enough to just get the certificate. You even have a child together, but you haven't had a wedding ceremony yet. Don't you think you owe the girl that?"

Mrs. Fuller Senior's words made Charlotte's back straighten up instantly. She couldn't help glancing at Shane.

"No, I don't agree."

Raina, who had just gone upstairs to change into house clothes, immediately walked down and disagreed. When she saw the figures downstairs, she sneered and said, "I won't allow a woman who gave birth out of wedlock to enter the Fuller family."

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

The little girl, who was in the old woman's embrace, suddenly asked in confusion.

Charlotte stared at Raina with red eyes. She clenched her fists slightly, but she didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, this was true.

She should have known that she would encounter this kind of thing...

"It's none of your business, and I'm already married to her. This child is mine." Shane stood up coldly, showing no mercy at all.

"I'm doing this for your own good," Raina said helplessly in the end.

"There's no need."

Shane didn't even think about it before rejecting her directly. He shifted his gaze from Raina's pale face to Charlotte's, which was full of confusion.

"Let's go."

Shane immediately took Sheryl from Mrs. Fuller Senior's arms and didn't look at the people behind him.

Sheryl put her small palm-sized face on her father's shoulder, turned her gaze behind her and waved to Mrs. Fuller Senior, and said, "Great- grandma, Daddy's taking me home now. I will come back to see you when I have time."

"Alright—I will be waiting for you."

The old woman nodded with a face full of love and waved her hand.
