Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 347

Zoe slightly rolled her eyes. She never knew how to investigate people. She only saw it by accident. But how was she supposed to find a reasonable explanation for her action?

After many considerations, she nodded her head seriously and said, "I investigated you, Peter."

"Wow! You're so nice. Did you investigate me just to give me a surprise? That's so sweet. I love you."

Peter was as happy as a child and didn't seem to notice the problem in this matter at all.

He didn't notice it, but Charlotte had already discovered the problem in it. How could Zoe investigate Peter without the help of Peter? Moreover, it was not easy to investigate Peter's birthday. The connections to his parents and friends were completely missing. Even he himself couldn't find out. How could Zoe investigate him on her own?

But it was obvious that Zoe didn't want to tell everyone the truth. After Charlotte was sure about that, she just pretended that she knew nothing of it.

Zoe said what she wanted to say. She wanted to give Peter a surprise, and it was best for her not to

ruin it.

After eating lunch and the cake, Peter had no strength left to get up and leave. He only felt his stomach bulging from being too full. He was so tired that he just wanted to collapse on the sofa and have a good sleep.

"I'll let you guys take leave in the afternoon." Seeing him like this, it didn't feel right for Charlotte to continue being a heartless capitalist.

"Long live Ms. Emerson." Peter raised his arms to express his agreement. "That's awesome."

"You can go out and have fun together," she said.

Peter nodded with a smile.

To have fun was exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to take Zoe to Avery's house too.

In the afternoon.

Peter and Zoe left the company. Charlotte handled the remaining work by herself. Although there weren't many things to settle, they were still heavier than usual work. It was already past seven o'clock when she finished almost everything. Only then did Charlotte have time to check her phone.

The first message was from Anne. She invited her to take a look at the church and the wedding hall that the designer decorated in two days.

Of course, Charlotte agreed. Anne would be getting married in a few more days, which was honestly pretty fast.

When it was time to get off work, the company's staff left one by one. When it was past six o'clock, the company was almost empty. Charlotte planned to get off work as well. She glanced at Shane. He was still reading a book while listening to music.

She had always been confused. What was so good about the book? Was it worth starting over and over again?

Charlotte walked up to him and waved her hand in front of him.

Shane took off his earphones and looked up at her. "Hmm?"

"I'm done with all my work."

"Let's go home."

"All right."

Suddenly, Charlotte felt like this kind of life was quite nice too. It was like an old couple's life. But she didn't know when Sheryl could come back to their side. She hadn't seen that little girl in such a long time.

Just when the two of them were seated in the car, Charlotte's phone rang. She answered, "Hello?" "It's me," Avery's voice rang out from the other side. "Something happened."

"What's wrong?"

"Zoe and Peter had a car accident on their way to my house. The information I could find was that this person is related to the Stevens Family. It might be because of Zoe's face." Avery's tone was urgent with a hint of wrath.

Charlotte was stunned. Her fingertips tightened around her phone as she asked, "How are they doing?"

"They're not in a good condition now. You'd better be mentally prepared."

Be mentally prepared...

Charlotte took a deep breath and said, "Avery, I don't want to be mentally prepared. I can't let anything happen to Peter and Zoe."

Hearing that, Shane, who was standing aside, turned around and took the phone away. He put it in hands- free mode and placed it on the dashboard. "What's the matter?"

Before hearing those words, Avery and Charlotte both felt as if a big rock was weighing down their hearts. However, the moment they heard his voice, they felt more at ease. It was as if all their problems would be solved as long as Shane was involved in this matter.

Avery told them what happened. Shane parked the car by the road and used his phone to send Avery a few numbers. "Contact these people and let them go to the hospital. Lottie and I will go there right now."

"What about the Stevens family?"

"Ignore them first."

"Aren't we going to sue them?"

"If they can save Kendall, why would they let themselves be incarcerated?"

Avery realized that he was asking such a stupid question. He sighed and said, "Sorry, my head's not in the right place today."

"Rest well."

After the call ended, Shane reversed his car and sped to the hospital Avery had mentioned.

Two hours later, Rick received the news.

Anne accidentally leaked it to him when he was chatting with her. When Kendall heard that this might be done by the Stevens Family, she instantly felt helpless. She had always thought that no matter how many things her brother and father had done, they wouldn't do anything murderous. But they actually wanted to kill... Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"In the past, I always thought they were good people." Kendall looked at Rick, who was in front of her. Her voice was slightly choked with sobs.

"You can still think that they are good people, and good people will do bad things. It's not strange." Rick put his phone back in his pocket and placed his palm on Kendall's head. "Go rest. I'll go to the

hospital. Call me if there is anything you want to eat..."

"Rick," Kendall interrupted him softly. "Can I go with you?"

"Aren't you afraid of hearing harsh words?"

Kendall bit her lower lip. Of course she was afraid, but compared to fear, she was more afraid that they would direct those harsh words to Rick, and Rick could only listen to them quietly. She took a deep breath and gently grabbed his hand. She did not answer his question, but her action was firmer than anyone else.

Rick took her hand away and asked, "Do you really want to go?"

"Yes, I want to be with you all the time."

At that moment, Rick could vaguely guess Kendall's thoughts. He could tell that she was afraid that he would be troubled by others, so she wanted to follow him.

It was actually better for her to stay by his side. He wouldn't have to worry that anybody else would be seriously injured without his notice. It was better to talk about it bluntly than to do something behind his back.

"Stay by my side and don't speak."

"Okay." Kendall was overjoyed.

Rick set off with Kendall.

After getting in the car, Kendall kept kneading the hem of her shirt nervously. Seeing that, Rick didn't stop her.

It had already happened before, so it wouldn't make sense to ask her to be positive.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Charlotte ordered the other assistants to wait at the entrance of the hospital. Therefore, they didn't waste too much time. The two of them soon reached the top floor.

Avery's face sank instantly when he saw that Rick came with Kendall.

"I asked them to come." Charlotte grabbed his shoulder with one hand.

"I don't have any objection if you asked Rick to come over, but why is Kendall..."

"She's Rick's girlfriend. Why can't she follow him here?"

Avery finally understood. Charlotte was clearly trying to defend Kendall. The corners of his mouth twitched as he turned around and said, "Alright, alright, alright. I won't say anything more. I'm so done with you all."

Charlotte smiled and said, "Every debt has its debtor. If you want to vent your anger, you can go look for Caleb."

"If I can't find Caleb, then can I vent my anger on his sister?"

"Yes. I know where my brother is."

No one had thought that Kendall would suddenly say such a thing.

Charlotte looked at her thoughtfully and asked, "Did he tell you where he is, or can you guess where he is?"

"I know where he is."

Caleb didn't tell him, nor did she guess it. She knew exactly where Caleb was.

Avery was curious, so he asked, "Try to tell me where he is."

Kendall took out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Avery. "I know that some of you are computer geniuses. They installed an app on my phone so that they can find me anytime. That is to say, as long as you reverse it, you will know where they are."

Avery was speechless.
