Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 177

Rick's smile was gentle and bright. "I'll take you there."

"Is Mr. Jane really taking a vacation?" Charlotte blinked and said wittily.

"In order to accompany Ms. Emerson, I'd make time for a vacation even if I didn't have it."

"Wow, Mr. Jane, you really care about your subordinates."

"Just you."

Charlotte looked at him. Finally, she curled her lips into a smile and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Rick shook his head.

If you loved someone, you'd want to give them the world. What was so difficult about going with her to pray?

However, Charlotte only talked about it but didn't make any move to visit a church. So Rick got someone to get her a rosary bracelet.

Although most of the time these things only had a psychological effect, whatever effect it did have, it was better than nothing.

Last time, he had given her a bracelet, and this time, it was another bracelet. Initially, Charlotte didn't want it, but on second thought, this was something Rick had purposely gotten for her. If she didn't keep it, then it wouldn't be too polite of her.

In the end, she put away the bracelet and its box and put them both in her bag.

After a day's work, it was time to go home.

Charlotte didn't work overtime today, so she couldn't leave with Rick. She could only take a taxi by herself.

As soon as she walked out of the office and arrived at the taxi stop, a familiar figure came to her.

Even in her work clothes, she looked very elegant and energetic. The eyes of many passers-by were fixed on her.

"Zoe." Charlotte reached out and hugged her.

"I was in a hurry before, so I came to see you without informing you. I hope you don't mind."

"Why would I mind? Even if you're here for business, you're still here for me. I'm happy. Why would I mind?" Charlotte said with a smile.

"You're always thinking about others' feelings."

Charlotte shook her head. "You deserve it." Zoe smiled and said, "I came here about Christopher. But we don't need to rush. Why don't we find a place to have dinner?"

"If you don't mind, can I invite another person?"

"Of course."

Charlotte sent a message to Rick. He quickly replied that he still had two more meetings. He told them to choose a place first and that he would be here soon.

When Zoe learned that the person she invited was Rick, she was a little surprised. "Your relationship with him..."

"I don't know either, but we may get married."

"I see. I heard that Mr. Fuller also has a similar plan recently. So are you really breaking up?"

"He has someone he needs to take care of. I need to let myself go."

Zoe nodded when she heard that, but she did not say more.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Zoe let Charlotte order their food. She took the menu and ordered two dishes. Then she pushed the menu back to Zoe. The two of them ordered seven dishes in total.

The portions of the dishes here were relatively small. Even though they ordered seven dishes, the waitress did not prompt them about their large order.

The two of them chatted over dinner.

Rick arrived late.

"Sorry, ladies." He put two glasses of freshly squeezed juice next to them and said, "I'm late."

"Thank you, Mr. Jane. I like passion fruit very much." Zoe opened the package and began to drink.

"So Lottie told me. I'm happy that you like it."

In the midst of their conversation.

Zoe felt that Rick was really a very gentle and considerate person.

When a person like him and Charlotte were together, they gave off the feeling that they complemented each other very well.

It wasn't like with Charlotte and Shane. The two of them seemed to fill in each other's gaps.

It was just that.

Zoe did not feel that Charlotte and Rick were in love. Their way of getting along with each other was too respectful. Instead, they lacked the sweetness unique to love.

When the meal was almost over, Charlotte raised her the matter of Christopher.

At that time, Zoe went to the point.

Three days ago.

Christopher officially fell out with Shane.

He appeared unexpectedly at the board meeting. He had obtained a lot of shares and it could be said that he wanted to compete with Shane.

Braden had been there at that time and gave Christopher a good beating. Christopher didn't say anything, nor did the police need to be called for him to leave.

Then, Shane's uncle, Walter, suddenly announced that he was on Christopher's side, which made the stock in Shane's power reduce by half.

At this point, it could be said that NC Company was under the influence of both Shane and Christopher.

The good thing was.

After cooperating for so many years, even if they wanted to fight to the death, they were both logical. Neither of them caused a crisis for the company.

But things could not go on like this.

They would definitely ruin the company. Zoe looked at Charlotte very sincerely and said word by word, "To tell you the truth, I'm interested in Mr. Gibson. He is very important to me, so I really hope that you can persuade him." "Why me?" Charlotte smiled bitterly, "You've known each other for a longer time than me, but..."

"Lottie, he has the upper hand now. But don't forget that it was given to him by you. He has always thought of you as a heroine."

"What?" Charlotte thought.

"Could that little boy be..."

Charlotte was struck dumb.

When Rick heard this, he asked doubtfully, "Does this Christopher like Lottie?"

"Mr. Jane, don't get me wrong."

"Don't worry, I won't stop her from helping because of this kind of thing. But if Christopher likes Lottie, why does he want to control the Emerson Corporation? Why does it have to be the Emerson Corporation?" Rick's voice was a little cold, even a little angry.

Charlotte noticed something was wrong and asked, "Rick?"

Rick sighed. "It's a long story, and I've just discovered it."

Christopher had been controlling the Emerson Corporation for a long time.

It was sometime before Charlotte's mother died that he had made his move on the Emerson Corporation.

So.

It was easy to imagine the reason.

Charlotte remained silent the entire time. She couldn't say how she felt inside.

She could only try hard to cheer herself up. She smiled and continued to talk to Rick and Zoe, but they were like zombies.

She had believed in Christopher so much.

It was very boring for Sheryl to stay at home alone.

She remembered that her father had told her that he would definitely come as long as she called him.

Sheryl pressed the button many times. Finally, she heard a voice coming from the other end. "Sheryl?"

"Daddy, I'm alone at home. I'm so bored. Can you spend time with me?" The little girl said in a childish voice.

Shane glanced at the people in the conference room and answered calmly, "Alright, I'll be right there." "I want to eat delicious food.'

"Alright."

"I love you, Daddy!"

"Got it."

Sheryl put away her kiddie cell phone and happily leaned against the window to wait for her Daddy.

She didn't know what had happened between Daddy and Mommy, but Mommy left her at home alone. There was nothing wrong with getting her Daddy to play with her. Daddy had said before that he would always be her Daddy.

Even though she didn't know how long forever was.

Shane rushed to the mansion.

When Sheryl saw him, she immediately ran toward him and threw herself into his arms. "Daddy! Why are you quarreling with Mommy? I miss Great-grandmother."

"There's been a misunderstanding between us."

"Then, can't you just clear up the misunderstanding?"

"It's not that simple."

"Can't I help?" The little girl shook her head and took his hand to go inside. "Let's go in and talk. It's cold outside.'

The girl's steps were very small, so she was like a penguin as she walked.

Shane supported her. His eyes were filled with love.

This was his daughter.

Even though he had said in his heart countless times that from then, this motherdaughter pair had nothing to do with him, the concerns he had for them in his heart were not so easily cut away.

They went inside.

Sheryl showed Shane the Lego she had put together and said, "I'm amazing, aren't I?" She put her hands on her hips and looked very proud of herself.

"Of course it's amazing," Shane agreed with his daughter.

"Hee hee, and this, this..."

In a blink of an eye, the sky turned dark.

After the meal, Charlotte, who had planned to discuss the matter of Christopher with Rick, went home to find Shane there.

He was very seriously putting together Lego with Sheryl. Their gestures and actions were similar, which made Charlotte's heart skip a beat.
