Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 373

"I meant if you got lost," Rick said helplessly. Between them, there was nothing about whether they wanted each other or not. Regardless of anything, it was difficult for them to be separated from each other. The only reason why he said that he was afraid of her leaving was probably because she got lost.

Rick thought that way, but he didn't know how much Kendall would understand or what she could understand. He didn't know if he expressed himself accurately.

Kendall tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, he suddenly smiled. "Oh, right. That's true. What if I get lost? I have to try my best to survive in the same spot and wait for you to come back to pick me up."

"Yeah." Rick stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist. "Let's go."

"Alright."

Rick took Kendall one floor down for a walk. This time Kendall did not want to buy anything. She just followed him, just window shopping.

Rick originally wanted to buy her some daily necessities or cosmetics, but seeing that she herself didn't have any opinions, he stopped worrying about it.

After a while, they left the shopping mall and went home. After Rick got in the car, he took out his phone. After he thought for a moment, he dialed Shane's number. He initially wanted to call Charlotte, but he thought that it was better for them to avoid arousing suspicion. So he called Shane instead.

Soon, Shane picked up the phone. "Yes?"

Shane's clear and familiar voice sounded in his ears. Rick raised his hand and rubbed his ears. He was not used to hearing Shane's voice. "Caleb called Kendall just now and said that Avery was injured. He asked if we wanted to see him, but I refused. I want to know if you know about this."

"No." Shane paused and added, "Or I don't know, at least."

Shane didn't know, much less anyone else. After Rick thanked him, he looked at the phone for a while and then called Peter. The answer Peter gave was almost the same. He didn't know about this news either.

That meant that Avery might really be injured, but no one knew about it. But it was also possible that Caleb was trying to trick him.

But no matter which it was, it was always the best to stay calm. In any case, he had no experience or time to help Avery.

Back at home, Rick leaned against the window seat and closed his eyes to rest. Kendall was by his side. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Kendall lost her balance and fell directly into his embrace. Her whole body lay on top of him, and the distance between the two instantly became very small.

"Kendall, don't tell me anything about your brother's phone calls in the future. You can do whatever you want." Rick's long fingers moved in her hair, and his eyes fell on her small and delicate facial features. She was not ugly, but she did not have the kind of face he liked.

It was too gentle and sweet, giving off a childish feeling. Even though many people were chasing after this youth, he didn't like it.

Kendall nodded at him. "I understand. In the future, I'll deal with him myself. I won't disturb you anymore."

"You're not disturbing me. It's just that once I know the news, I can't think carefully about how to deal with it. You're different. You'll think about it carefully for me."

"Rick, do you really trust me so much?" Kendall leaned into his arms with a smile and hugged him tightly. "Rick, you're so great. I'll always like you."

That was enough to be great, to make her like him forever?

Rick laughed. He looked at the person in his arms and felt like his heart was full. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction from head to toe. At the same time, there was some heat.

He leaned over to kiss her. His long fingers slid down to her waist, holding her in his arms. The temperature gradually rose.

"Can I have you?" Kendall suddenly raised her head and looked at him imploringly.

"There's no rush."

Kendall bit her lip.

He clearly liked her, so what else was he waiting for? Moreover, did she seem to be in a rush?

She was not in a rush or anxious. She just liked him. She wanted to do everything other couples could do with him. Why would he say that about her?

Kendall's passion was shot down. She got up and moved away in a fit of anger. When he saw her throwing a tantrum, Rick found it pleasing to watch. He stood up and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Are you angry?" He pressed his lips against her ear.

"What right do I have to be angry? I'm just a robot who doesn't have any feelings and only knows to like you. A robot won't get angry, and it also has no right to be angry," she said in a huff.

"Kendall, what I mean about not rushing is that we should at least find a more romantic place. You will spend a lot of time with me in this house in the future. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Kendall didn't understand what he meant at first, but when she got it, her whole face turned red. She lowered her head and said shyly, "But I just want to be with you. No matter how many times, no matter where, as long as I am with you, I will be very satisfied."

What a fool.

"There will definitely be some nice scenery on the trip." Rick kissed her earlobe. "If you are still willing to go, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Give her a satisfactory answer?

Kendall's heart began to leap with joy at the thought. Actually, she did not dare to ask for too much. But she really did not expect that Rick would give more and more.

A few days later.

They met each other at the arranged time.

They had scouted ahead, so they didn't have to worry about being tracked or watched. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Avery left Olive with Sheryl and instructed, "I've already set up GPS tracking on Olive. There should be no danger, so it doesn't matter where the two of you go. Just don't get separated, understand?"

"I understand, Uncle Avery," Sheryl answered.

"I understand, Mr. Avery," Olive replied obediently.

Avery nodded in satisfaction. "Get in the car and rest."

As soon as the two children got in the car, the adults had a lot to say.

Avery handed the luggage to the butler and then turned to Charlotte. "I didn't ask clearly on the phone, so I wanted to ask in person. You said before that Olive might have seen someone committing a crime. Do you have any definite evidence forthat?"

Charlotte nodded and handed over the documents that Rick and Peter had already seen to Avery, "This is the file I obtained from the police department. Take a look at it first. After you read it, I'm guessing that you'll have the same thoughts I do."

"Okay." Avery took it and began to read.

At this time, Rick and Kendall also arrived. When he saw that he was the last one to arrive, Rick apologized in a hurry. "Sorry, we were a little hungry, so we went to buy some breakfast. We brought you some too."

"Great timing. I'm hungry." Charlotte walked over, took out two sandwiches from Rick's bag, and handed one of them to Shane.

After Shane took it, he unwrapped the plastic and handed it back to her. He took the wrapped one from her hand and unwrapped it too. Then he began to eat.

Rick was speechless. He shook her head. "I'm really impressed by you two. It's just a matter of unwrapping the sandwich. Is there a need to show off your affection?"

"Don't you help Kendall do this sort of thing?" Shane asked back.

His words have Rick no room to back down. No matter how he answered, it showed that he was ungentlemanly.

Rick touched his nose gloomily. Unexpectedly, Kendall, who was beside him, unwrapped a sandwich and held it to his mouth. "Mr. Fuller, you love Ms. Emerson more, but I love Rick more. We are not the same."

When he heard this, Shane just glanced at her lightly. The corners of his mouth lifted a little. "Not bad," he said.

Kendall had spoken brilliantly.
