Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 428

Avery sent a picture of Sheryl and Freddie to Charlotte. When she woke up, she immediately saw Avery's message. Seeing that Sheryl was happy, she felt happy too. However, her happy mood did not even last for a few seconds. She could not grasp the feeling of happiness.

Charlotte put down her phone and went to stand by the window. She looked at the scenery outside but felt empty inside.

Suddenly, someone lifted her off the ground, forcefully moving her away from the window. She was confused. "Shane, what are you doing?"

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Charlotte turned around and met his cold gaze. Puzzled, she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I just wanted to breathe some fresh air. Why did you carry me away all of a sudden? Are you insane?"

Shane didn't like explaining himself. Even though she said those words, he still didn't speak. Charlotte didn't bother to pay attention to him. So, she pushed him away and went back to bed angrily. During dinner time, she broke all the plates and dropped all the food. Not long after the nurses finished cleaning up, she dropped a second portion.

But Shane was rich. He kept buying more food when she kept ruining them. In the end, Charlotte was so angry that she experienced yet another shock.

"I don't think you're suitable to take care of people," the doctor said bluntly. "You're always standing on the opposite side of the patient. How can her anxiety be eased that way?"

But now, who else could take care of her except him?

Shane massaged his temples and said, "Doctor, I just want her to eat."

"Do you not know how to have a good conversation with others? You shouldn't be asking her if she wants to eat or sleep. And you also shouldn't be pressing her onto the bed or forcing her to eat nutritious meals that she doesn't like at all. She doesn't need to take care of her diet now. It's already a tough job for her to stay alive."

Back to the ward.

Shane stopped at Charlotte's bedside. She turned to the other side of the bed, ignoring him.

He lowered his gaze and said, "I'm sorry."

"You were right. I know that I'm crazy. The doctor said that something's wrong with my brain recently, so can you just leave me alone?"

"What should I do?" Shane suddenly held her shoulders and said, "I don't know what to do. There's no formula. I can't find answers in my books either. This is my first time as a father, and the first time being in a relationship. I know I hurt you, and I..."

Forget it.

There was no point in saying these.

He slowly let go of her and said, "I will not leave you alone."

Charlotte was annoyed, so she covered her head with the quilt.

That night.

After she fell asleep, Shane called Braden to the bar.

Silently, he drank bottle after bottle. Braden and Anne, who were beside him, felt sorry for his stomach even when they saw him.

"What the hell is going on?" Anne couldn't help but ask.

"What else can it be? Ask your bestie." Braden sighed. "Rick had just recovered. And now, something's happening to Charlotte. The two of them are really..."

Shane froze when he heard this. After a while, he said with a self-deprecating smile, "Should I have helped them at that time?"

"That's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand, okay," Braden immediately stated. "I think that you and Charlotte were born to be together. Don't break up just because of what I said."

"Where is Rick?"

"He should be making babies with Kendall at this hour." Braden said seriously, "Please don't ruin other people's happiness."

Shane looked at him with disdain, "I'm just trying to ask him for help. What are you thinking about?"

"I think you will kill Kendall any time soon and then throw Rick onto Charlotte's bed." Braden had never kept his mouth shut, so his words were always unfiltered and random.

"I'm not that crazy."

"You will only be crazier than this."

Shane didn't bother to reply to him this time. He continued drinking.

After a while.

Braden couldn't hold it back anymore. He asked, "Buddy, can you tell me what's going on?"

After hearing Shane's explanation, Braden's head was about to explode. "There's no way she was shocked because of something like this. I suspect

that she might have recalled some traumatic events. You might have reminded her of something from the past for keeping those two incidents from her."

Something from the past?

Her... parents?

Shane suddenly recalled Charlotte saying that he would never treat her nicely because he was so cruel toward Mrs. Fuller Senior.

Was it because her father might have given up on her mother for some reason and caused her mother to die of an illness that caused her to recall the event? And that was why she no longer trusted him and regretted giving him all her heart. Was that what triggered her?

Shane thought that was very likely.

However, there was no way to find out the truth for the time being.

The next day.

Shane came to the hospital with a hangover.

Charlotte was standing in front of the window again. This time, he just stood next to her and said, "I won't hurt you."

"Who knows." She didn't even look at him.

"What you're worried about won't happen to us.

What happened to granny was an accident."

"Even if I understand all the truths, what can I do?" She was perplexed, so she said, "Shane, your selfishness frightens me. Even if I know that it is for my own good, it still terrifies me."

Shane remained silent.

Charlotte let out a long sigh. "I don't even know why I'm here either. Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with me. I've just been overthinking a lot. My heart feels too..."

All of a sudden, Shane turned and kissed her.

Charlotte's eyes widened as she tried to break away with all her might.

Shane held her tightly. He opened his eyes and stared at her pale face for a moment before slowly letting her go.

"What are you doing!"

"One month. Date me for one month. You said this before."

"Sorry, I won't date someone who called me crazy." She hadn't forgotten how he infuriated her.

Shane was rendered speechless.

He felt agitated.

Charlotte suddenly thought of Kendall. She propped her head up and arched her eyebrows at Shane, "Why don't we split up for a few months?

I'll give you the child and the rights, and you'll take over the company. I can tell you where I am, but you can't come looking for me, and you can't restrict me from making friends. What do you think?"

"It's safer to stay in the hospital."

"Well then, are you not afraid that I would find an opportunity like how I did last night and jump down from here?" Charlotte pointed at the window sill.

"Charlotte!"

"You don't dare to bet it because you don't know how to explain it to Sheryl."

"Why must you leave me?" Shane was at a loss to understand her.

"Before this, I had no idea, but now I know. I'm particularly worried that I will become a person who doesn't have her own mind, who only knows to depend on you. Only when I leave you can I know who I truly am, and only when I leave you can you really know who you are to me."

In the end.

Shane still let Charlotte go.

He kept the truth from everyone and only told them that she had been transferred to another hospital. Nathan and Avery thought that Shane didn't trust their medical team. But they didn't say anything about it. After all, that was his wife. They could only offer him mental support. Ultimately, it was not their responsibility,

Charlotte disappeared after she took three hundred thousand dollars.

To be accurate, she had disappeared in real life but was still living a great life on social media. Every day, she went out to eat and play and even made a lot of friends.

Half a month later.

Shane received messages from Charlotte. Apart from telling him that she was safe, she also...

"I don't have money left." Charlotte texted, followed by a crying emoji.

"How much do you need?"

"It's not about how much I need. I'm currently trapped..."

"I'll pick you up. Where are you?"

"I would already turn into ashes if you travel here all the way from home." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Shane finally realized that Charlotte must have encountered a problem. After knowing which country she was in, he went to ask a local friend about it.

It turned out that Charlotte was harassed by a local rich guy. That guy was forceful with her, so she beat him up. And now she was locked up.

"Help me keep an eye on her."

"Don't worry. There won't be any problem as long as I'm with your wife."

The man on the other side of the phone asserted.
