Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 419

"You what?" Rick lifted her chin and asked. "You don't want to leave me?"

"No." Kendall nodded immediately. "I never wanted to. Rick, please believe me."

"If you don't want to leave me, prove it to me."

Prove it to him?

How could she do that?

Did she have to be as shameless as she had been before?

Kendall's face instantly turned pale. Her trembling fingers moved toward his neck. She licked her lips and her breathing gradually accelerated. Her gaze was confused. For some unknown reason, she was crying. She reached to reveal Rick's neck. Rick did not stop her. It was only when she pulled his shirt aside and revealed the hideous scar on his chest that he reached out and pressed his hand against hers.

"That's enough, Kendall," he called softly.

"What is this..." Kendall's face became paler, and there was no trace of blood on her cheeks.

"You can touch it."

She stretched out her hand to touch it. Although it had healed, she could tell that it had been a small cut. Her eyes widened. "Rick, you didn't..."

"That's right."

"Why? Is it, is it because of me?" She raised her voice in disbelief.

"That's right."

Rick's agreement caught Kendall off-guard. She shouted, "Why? Why did you do this? And no one told me. Even when you were examined, I didn't notice anything wrong with you. Why didn't you tell me that you hurt yourself, why did you..."

"The old me, he didn't even notice that you were hurt, did he?" Rick asked with a smile.

She was silent. She had a bad feeling about this.

"Now, you can't even see that I'm hurt. I've seen how you were when you loved me before, so I know you don't love me now. You should leave with Zayden."

The world was so big.

There was nothing that they could not get over.

He chose to let her go as an act of mercy to himself.

Kendall's eyes were very red. She reached out her hand and grabbed Rick's collar tightly. She growled in a hoarse voice, "This wound is new. I've seen you naked before. This wound was made either today or yesterday. Why did you..."

Kendall's eyes suddenly widened because Rick kissed her.

With his eyes open, he looked at her pale face, and chuckled. "Am I decisive enough? Just like how you left me with no way out, I'm forcing you to leave without any choice. In fact, I have thought about how you and I have come to this point."

"Actually, it is very simple. I forced Charlotte to leave. She wouldn't hate me because she didn't love me. No matter how much pain and sorrow I felt, no matter how much it hurt, she wouldn't have to

suffer it. She wouldn't feel sad about it either. Therefore, the deeper my hatred was, the more useless I became. I gave up on her."

"But we are different. Kendall, we love each other, so we torture each other."

Kendall's eyes were wide open, and the tears flowed down her face and onto Rick's chest.

The gruesome scar was now covered with a layer of moist liquid, like a meandering stream in the wilderness.

"Leave," he said in a hoarse voice. "Don't let me shed tears and bleed for you."

"I'm not leaving! Rick, if you love me, why should I leave?" She suddenly hugged him hard. "I'm not leaving, I don't want to go."

"Do you want to stay and watch me die?"

Rick couldn't help laughing.

Kendall shook her head hard.

"I'm not going anywhere." She went to kiss his lips. "Rick, I'm not going anywhere. I won't go out at any time of day. I don't even go out to the balcony. Don't force me to leave."

Did he still have the courage and ability to love again?

Rick looked at the person in his arms and asked himself.

He was actually thinking about it. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She said so many times that she didn't want to leave, but why didn't she say "I love you"?

She clearly knew that it was more useful to say that she loved him than that she wouldn't leave. However, she didn't say it.

"Kendall, if you stay by my side without loving me, you will only provoke me."

"I love you!" she answered without hesitation.

"You know that I don't believe you."

Then how could she make him believe her?

She pressed her lips against his.

At first, it was an impulsive move, but the kiss became gentler and gentler. Later, she removed her lips, held his face, and gently stroked his cheek. Suddenly, she smiled.

"What is it?" Rick looked at her tenderly.

"It seems that you love me." Like a child who got some candy, she smiled brightly.

"Yes, I love you very much."

"I don't believe it."

"I don't mind digging my heart out to show you."

"You better not. You'll die if you do that. What will I do if you die? What will happen to me and my nonexistent child?"

Now that she mentioned it.

That was indeed the case.

"Do you want a child to exist?"

Kendall thought this question was pretty romantic. Though it was too straightforward, she was pretty happy with it.

She nodded vigorously.

"I do."

Kendall and Rick had probably made up.

Charlotte had even received a text from Kendall asking about contraceptives.

Although they wanted to have a child, now neither

Rick nor Kendall were in good health. The child might die or be deformed. So they had to change some bad habits before they had a child.

Charlotte looked at the question on the screen of her phone and shook her head silently. She could only type helplessly. "Buy the thin ones. Also, your current health is not good. Shane and I haven't gotten pregnant after so long. One or two tries should be enough. Don't think too much about it."

"Wow, you are so direct, I like it a lot."

"Don't be disgusting."

"Did Zayden find you? When are you going home?" Kendall sent her an emoji telling her to be careful.

"Don't worry. I can take care of myself."

"If you were a man, I'll definitely marry you."

"And then stab me in the back?"

Kendall sent her a crying emoji.

Charlotte didn't bother to talk to her anymore. She just put away her phone. Coincidentally, she took a few more steps before bumping into Zayden.

He held a woman in his grasp.

"Who is this?" Charlotte frowned.

"According to her, her name is Josephine Hans. I have investigated her. She has an older brother named Jackson who works for Shane."

"Why are you following me?" Charlotte stretched out her hand to lift Josephine's chin.

Josephine's face was covered in wounds after being beaten by Zayden's men. She looked at Charlotte fiercely and said, "If you dare, call Shane over!"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows.

She had to think carefully about this matter.

It just so happened that Zayden wanted to see Shane. It would be good to get it done together.

When Charlotte brought Zayden and Josephine home, Shane had just finished his video conference and left the study room.

When he saw the captured Josephine, he frowned and said, "Let go of her first."

"How can I let her go if you don't explain clearly?" Although Zayden smiled and released her, Josephine still had electric shackles on her hands and feet.

If he didn't want her to move, she couldn't move.

"What's going on?" Shane looked at Charlotte.

"You asked someone to follow me, and now you're asking me what's going on?"

"I only did it for the sake of your safety."

"That's great. You got my rival in love to ensure my safety. Shane, you are really creative."

Charlotte's tone was neither cold nor hot, neither low nor high. She looked at Shane with an exceptionally calm and indifferent expression, "You can choose to explain to me or not."

Shane was not the kind of person who liked to explain. He frowned. "Don't you trust me?"

"Why should I trust you?"

Shane remained silent.

Zayden found that the situation was not quite right. He kicked Josephine with his foot and said, "Tell them yourself."

"There's nothing much to say. I took Mr. Fuller's money so working for him is my mission. But I do like Mr. Fuller." Josephine didn't look at Charlotte and Zayden at all.

After all, she was dispensable to Mr. Fuller.

If Mr. Fuller could ask her brother to follow her, she was definitely not a good person.

"Alright." Charlotte nodded. "Shane, what do you have to say?"
