Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 374

Kendall was initially not welcome here with Charlotte and Shane. One reason was that the two of them had some unpleasant experiences before because of Rick. Secondly, the hypnosis had caused their relationship to become worse. However, after she spoke, the estrangement seemed to have diminished by quite a bit.

After breakfast, Avery also finished reading the documents and got into the car with everyone. "Do you all think that Olive saw something that she shouldn't have?"

At that moment, Olive and Sheryl were playing with a 3D puzzle at the back of the car. They were putting hundreds of small wooden blocks together to make a beautiful garden or something like that. To girls, this was particularly attractive. These girls had not yet developed any talents, so they didn't pay attention to the adults talking. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Kendall took the initiative to suggest, "I'll go play with the kids. You guys can talk."

Rick followed her when he heard this. "I told you before what I think. Please tell him for me."

After Rick and Kendall left, Avery smiled. "What's the matter with Rick lately? Has he become Kendall's dog? Didn't he dislike Kendall before? Is it because we are going to deal with the Stevens family that he's worried she'll be lonely and..."

"Things are different now. Why are you allowed to find the meaning of your life but Rick isn't allowed to like Kendall?" Charlotte asked back with a smile.

"That's true."

"Let's not gossip. Let's talk about serious matters. I'll tell you briefly what Rick thinks. If I miss anything out, help me, Peter?"

Peter nodded. "Ms. Emerson and I are here to help."

When Sheryl saw Kendall coming over, she was not very scared. Instead, she moved over and gave her a seat. Kendall felt a little guilty and said softly, "Sheryl, I'm sorry about what happened before. I did that because I had a special reason."

"It's okay. I'm different from my parents. I don't blame you. You did it for Rick, I know that." Sheryl said and handed one piece of the puzzle to Olive. She looked at Rick and said, "Uncle Rick must have been very sad back then. You're forgiven since you keep worrying about him. In any case, I wasn't injured, so it doesn't matter."

"Do you really think this way?" Rick frowned. He had the feeling that Shane and Charlotte were giving Sheryl a chance to talk to Kendall.

After all, this was much faster and more effective than Shane and Charlotte helping to absolve the guilt in Kendall's heart.

Sheryl shook her head. "They didn't talk to me about this. It was my Great- grandma and Grandma who told me these things and made a conclusion. Besides, you adults can't fight openly. We understand."

Sheryl's childish words made Kendall feel even worse. "Sheryl, what do you like to eat? Tell me and I'll..."

"I'm rich. You don't have to act like this. Just treat me as an ordinary child and yourself as an ordinary adult."

"... I will try." Kendall didn't know what to say right then.

Olive and Sheryl were very enthusiastic when it came to putting together the puzzle. Kendall thought that Sheryl wasn't going to accept her efforts, so perhaps she could play with her for a

while? Since Olive didn't seem to dislike her either. Thus, Kendall stayed to help the girls with their puzzle.

After all, Kendall was an adult. The puzzle that Olive and Sheryl couldn't complete after a long time was completed by Kendall in less than three minutes. What was more, Rick was next to her. When Kendall was confused by the picture, he guided her. So they finished the puzzle very quickly.

Olive was a little vexed when Kendall completed the puzzle. "But how do we put these two together? We've thought about everything just now, but it doesn't fit when we put it in."

"Let me have a look." Kendall took another piece of the puzzle from her hand. After looking at it carefully, she still had no clue. "I don't know, either. Rick, do you know how to do it?"

Rick didn't take it. Instead, he looked at Sheryl and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Sheryl hesitated for a moment. She had brought a total of 20 sets of puzzles. This was the first one. Even if she did seven of them a day, it would take at least three or four days to complete one, much less seven. Instead of spending a lot of time on a puzzle, it was better to spend more time on different puzzles.

When she thought of this, she nodded fiercely. "Thank you, Uncle Rick."

Rick smiled and immediately put the puzzle together. Kendall, Sheryl, and Olive couldn't manage it mainly because they rarely played with puzzles and didn't know the trick to them. Rick grew up playing with all kinds of toys and puzzles. It was not difficult for him to complete this easy puzzle. He could easily complete harder ones.

"Mr. Jane, you're so awesome." Olive looked at Rick with great admiration.

"They can do the same." Rick pointed to Shane, Avery and others in the distance.

Did Mr. Avery also know how to play with puzzles? Olive suddenly looked forward to putting puzzles together with Avery. Before, she wasn't interested in playing games in that house full of IT devices. Even if Avery asked her to, she may not play, let alone take the initiative to play with Avery. But now that she was going on a trip, she could get him to play with her.

After they finished the first puzzle, Olive took Sheryl to find Avery. Just as Avery finished speaking, he heard that the two children wanted him to show off his puzzle skills. He agreed with pleasure.

"What did Avery say?" Rick brought Kendall to sit down.

"It's almost the same as what we thought. He plans to ask Olive about it himself before meeting with us. But he says it's best if you don't have any hopes. After all, Olive is a special child. Even if she did see something she shouldn't have, she might

not remember it."

Rick nodded. That was true. Olive was just too special compared to Sheryl, much less an ordinary child. The main issue was that her intelligence and emotional intelligence was too outstanding.

Kendall wanted to say something, but she remembered what happened before when she did. She kept quiet.

Charlotte realized what she was thinking. She didn't want to bother with her but took pity on the fact that she was trying very hard to integrate into their circle. She even took the initiative to talk to Sheryl.

Charlotte sighed and she softened up. "Kendall, if you have anything to say, just say it. You don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing. Even if you do, it won't affect us. Just say it."

"This, this is what I think..." Kendall was overwhelmed. "Olive might not even remember what happened. This means that it's not necessarily something like murder. No matter how strong a

person is, they shouldn't be able to ignore the sight of flesh and blood, right?"

Rick didn't help her this time, because what she said was very correct. Everyone was thinking about this question silently.

Charlotte said, "We've really made a mistake. We believed that the culprit wanted to kill Olive because they had already killed someone and Olive saw it. If we ignore this assumption, what Kendall said might be the truth."

"Yes, as long as it is a person, they will be afraid of blood." Rick had an understanding of psychology.

Even if she was a special adult, she might not be able to deal with all emotions calmly in the face of blood, let alone a child. No matter how special she was, she was still a child.

This was something that could not be changed.

And if they thought further from this point, they would find that this matter was not as simple as they thought. On the contrary, they had taken it for granted.

Rick turned to face Avery. "I hope you can get some useful information, even if you can just confirm the timeline, that would be good."

Charlotte nodded her head seriously.

Indeed, now they didn't even know the exact timeline. It was indeed a mess.

This was a matter of life and death.
