Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 123

When Charlotte realized that her position was a little awkward, she immediately stood up. Her voice was filled with excitement, "That's great."

Cole was sweating as he stood at the door of the cafe watching the man and woman within. His gaze shifted back to his boss and a little girl standing not a meter away from him

"Daddy—"

Sheryl felt the hand holding hers squeeze tightly unconsciously. She could only let out a plaintive cry that pulled Shane out of his thoughts.

Once Sheryl escaped from her father's "evil claws", she got excited when saw her mother in the cafe. "Hey, it's Mommy."

Charlotte turned around almost reflexively. She saw the man standing stiffly behind Sheryl and felt a gust of cold wind blowing toward her.

"Baby." Charlotte embraced the tiny figure running over to her with both arms and immediately kissed her.

"Nice to meet you, Handsome Uncle. I'm taking Mommy away."

Sheryl was still hugging Charlotte possessively as she waved toward Christophe. Then, she immediately raised her eyebrows at her father.

"Daddy, you are so stupid that you can't even take care of Mommy properly," she thought.

"Goodbye, Mr. Gibson. We..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shane walked over with a cold expression. Charlotte could only shut her mouth feebly.

"You still have something to say?" Shane looked at the man in front of him coldly.

Christopher explained with a smile, "She came to ask me about the auction. I only helped her to edit her draft, nothing else."

"Why didn't you ask me?" Shane suddenly looked at Charlotte. There was something in his gaze that Charlotte didn't understand.

"I just didn't want to trouble you."

Charlotte explained in an aggrieved manner. She was pulled away by a pair of large hands. Due to the great disparity in strength, she didn't even have a chance to escape.

Until she got into the car, Charlotte still did not come back to her senses. Her eyes stared unbl inking ly out of the window.

Who would dare to confront such a dangerous person directly?

"Mr. Fuller, where are we going?"

Cole trembled as he looked in the rearview mirror. He had no choice but to ask.

"Let's go home."

A voice that was cold to the point where there wasn't the slightest trace of emotion floated over. Cole, who was sitting in the driver's seat, shuddered all over and immediately started the car.

Outside the villa, Shane got out of the car and walked in without looking back.

"Mr. Play, did you encounter any troubles?" Charlotte asked in confusion.

She knew that she hadn't made Shane angry, so she took it for granted that she was not the cause of this matter.

"Mrs. Fuller, you'd better ask him yourself."

Cole could only shake his head. He had a bit of a headache. He didn't want to get into trouble. After all, the world was a beautiful place.

"Okay." Charlotte nodded her head reluctantly and held Sheryl's hand as they walked inside.

"Mommy, I'll tell you what happened with Daddy." Sheryl raised her delicate face with a smile and deliberately paused for a few seconds. Then she said, "Daddy is jealous."

"Jealous?" Charlotte asked. "How could he be jealous!" she thought.

After Sheryl fell asleep, Charlotte walked out of the child's bedroom and looked toward Shane's room. When she realized that Shane had not fallen asleep, she knocked on the door sneakily.

When she realized what she was doing, it was too late for her to regret it.

As she watched the man standing in his bathrobe at the door, Charlotte didn't know whether to enter or not.

"Looking for me?"

"That's right."

Charlotte nodded her head. Her body was instantly pulled in by a strong force. By the time she knew what was going on, her back was already pressed tightly against the ice-cold wall.

"Mrs. Fuller, don't you think you need to give me an explanation?" Shane suddenly came close to her red cheeks and asked meaningfully.

"Explanation... for what?"

Charlotte raised her head weakly. Only then did she realize that her shoulders were shackled by two powerful arms.

"Hm?" Shane patiently stared at the woman who was being forced against the wall.

"It's just a misunderstanding. Mr. Gibson and I are just colleagues. I met up with him today for the auction in two days. You don't want the company to suffer losses because of me, do you?"

Charlotte deliberately mimicked Sheryl's by blinking her big, shining eyes. However, it did not have much of an effect.

"I don't mind."

Shane's words instantly caused Charlotte to roll her eyes.

"I mind, Shane. I need to win this auction. I don't want to live in the shadow of my past failure. You wouldn't understand."

Charlotte put away the smile on her face. "Perhaps for you, the auction is dispensable, but for me..."

"I support you."

Before Charlotte finished her sentence, she heard an attractive voice speak. She looked toward the source of the sound reflexively.

"I don't mind - but I support you," Charlotte thought.

Before Charlotte could react, the two arms that were holding her down suddenly loosened. After making sure that Shane did not intend to go back on his word, she prepared to sneak away. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"I shouldn't have entered the tiger's den tonight," she thought.

"Stop right there."

Shane stared at the woman who was trying to escape. When he saw the sudden frozen steps and the stiff back, he suddenly felt that she was a little cute.

"What's the matter?" Charlotte didn't turn around.

"Sign this contract and you can leave."

"Just like that?"

Charlotte instantly turned around and glanced at the contract placed on the table. However, she did not have any intention of reading it.

"That's right."

Shane crossed his arms in front of his chest as he slowly smiled at Charlotte. It was as if he was looking at a prey animal. His gaze made Charlotte feel a little uncomfortable.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you if you don't look at the contents of the contract?"

Shane raised his eyebrows and asked in a meaningful tone. With a stride of his long legs, he walked over to Charlotte's side.

Since she was squatting in front of the table, Charlotte's entire body was leaning against the table to support herself. The loose shirt was a bit useless on her body.

Shane couldn't help but swallow, making his Adam's apple bob. He forcefully turned his gaze away.

"I trust you."

Charlotte spoke in an unceremonious manner. She did not notice that an unusual emotion flashed Shane's eyes as she spoke.

"You really don't want to have a look?"

Shane glanced at the signature Charlotte had placed on the last page. His thin lips parted slightly, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Charlotte suddenly had a feeling that she had betrayed herself. She opened the first page with suspicion, glanced at it briefly, and then turned a few more pages. She asked in disbelief, "What is all this? Why is it all about restricting my actions?"

Charlotte was a little angry and wanted to draw over the signature on the last page with a pen. But how would the man beside her, who had been staring at her all this time, allow her to dothat?
