Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 434

Kendall lifted her head and said, "Ask your conscience, are you really sure?"

"Of course. I love you very much. I only admire and respect Lottie now. In fact, you and I both know that now Charlotte and I are on an equal footing. Even if she wants to drive me away from Brine, I won't be angry. She is qualified to do so now." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"But that doesn't conflict with the fact that you like her." Kendall pouted with a sad face.

"Kendall, you think too highly of me. How can someone like me have the energy to love two people at the same time? Rest assured, I have too many common memories and liabilities with you. Even if I don't love you one day, I can't leave you."

"So you will stop loving me one day?"

"You..." Rick choked on frustration. He did not expect her to keep pestering him like this.

Kendall made a face at him and said, "I don't care. Maybe I would be the one to stop loving you first. Well, I'm leaving. You can play on your own."

Rick was at a loss for words and stood still at the same spot. After a while, he shook his head and smiled helplessly. It was not because of what she said. It was because of her hypocrisy. One second she was worried about whether he would love her, and the next, she said she would stop loving him. He found this sharp contrast hilarious. After all, he was afraid that he would no longer love her and that she would no longer love him too.

She might not understand how difficult it was for a composed person like him to give up the love that he had always been comfortable with in the past and love someone so spontaneous like her.

Of course, he did not ask for her to understand. He had always thought that it was enough for him to bear some things alone.

Charlotte had found a lot of information related to Augustus.

Needless to say, he had been a top student since he was a child. The most important thing was that he had already reached the 10th division in Go when he was 15. This kind of achievement... Charlotte could not help but to compare Augustus to Freddie. In the end, she felt that Freddie might not be as good as Augustus. As an objective factor, there was a big chance that Augustus might have cooperated with Shane before.

As for Shane, she couldn't find too much information about him, so she went to ask Raina.

"I didn't expect you to treat me to a meal."

Raina sat in the extravagant western restaurant. Her eyes traveled around, feeling like she was in a dream. A year ago, she would never have thought that she would be eating in such a place with her son's woman.

And Charlotte was neither a nobody nor a noble lady. Instead, she was a rather mediocre character who rose to fame in a short period of time.

"I need your help, after all." Charlotte couldn't help but laugh. "But it's nothing complicated. I just want to ask you about Shane."

"Shouldn't you know more about him than I do?"

"It's about his childhood."

Raina muttered, "It seems like Zander is no longer alive. I can only guarantee that most of them are accurate, but I'm not sure about the details. At that time, my focus in life was not on Shane. His father cheated on me, so I had a lot of other things to do."

"I can understand. What I want to ask is pretty general."

"Hmm?" Raina asked in doubt, "Are you sure you cannot find anything about it even with your means?"

"It's impossible for us to find what Shane had buried.” "If that's the case, you can ask away. I'll try to

answer them."

Charlotte shook her head. "There's no hurry. We can talk while eating."

After ordering some dishes, Charlotte handed the menu to Raina and asked her to order. She declined politely and only said, "I'll eat whatever you order. I'm certain you won't treat me badly."

"Okay then, make it two." Charlotte pointed at the menu and said, "However, for one portion, the coffee needs to be replaced by juice, swap the pork with chicken, and add more gravy. If it doesn't taste good... I think I'll have to talk to your chef."

When the waiter saw that Charlotte had an extraordinary temperament and was very specific with her meals, he immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Don't worry. There won't be a problem."

Charlotte handed over a blue banknote and said, "Thank you."

After the waiter left, she looked at Raina and said, "Here's the thing. I want to know if Shane had won any prizes when he was a child. Or anything about his school and hobbies."

"Piano. He's really good at it," Raina replied immediately.

"Is there anything else?"

"He learned Go and French when he was a child. I heard that he met a Chinese boy at a competition in Paris. The boy was better than him, but he seemed to have passed away. He was devastated for a period of time. After that, he never played Go again."

"Was he...really good at Go?"

"Yes." When Raina mentioned this, she leaned forward. "Not only was he good at Go, but he was also good at everything. Since young, we never had to worry about his studies. We had tried to persuade him to go to college earlier, but he refused. He insisted on going to college step by step and would only skip grades if he really couldn't stand it. When he had extra time, he would spend them on his hobbies and preparing to take over the company."

Shane was so clever.

Charlotte couldn't help but feel astonished.

But it must have been so hard for him.

Charlotte's heart was filled with pity again.

When he was a kid, Shane was already smart enough to know that he shouldn't expose himself too much to the public. Augustus's death might be related to his character of being too boastful. As for why Shane had shut himself out ever since he was a child... It was probably because of his family. Unlike the Hart family and the Jane family, the Fuller family had a lot of unnecessary dramas because of Shane's father. If he wanted to break this chain, he first had to shut himself out.

Moreover, the existence of those people from the Fuller family who had helped Christopher had shaped him into who he was today.

Once they finished their meals, Charlotte already knew a lot about Shane's childhood.

Even if Augustus and Shane were not cooperative partners, they were still really great friends. Therefore, Shane felt the happiest before the age of 12. That was why he stopped at the period before he turned 12.

Because after he turned 12...

He lost Augustus, lost Heidi, and lost...

He might have lost more than Charlotte could imagine.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.

She went back to Avery's villa and found most people had already left. Only Nathan and Freddie were still there.

"Freddie, I'll leave Sheryl to you. I'm going to do my homework now." With that being said, Olive headed upstairs.

"What do you mean by leaving her to me? She was already mine, to begin with," muttered Freddie.

Charlotte walked up to him with a smile and said, "Freddie"

"Hello, Ms. Emerson." Freddie immediately bowed and greeted her in a gentlemanly manner.

"What are you playing with Sheryl?"

"Puzzles and hide-and-seek. But..they are not my match." Freddie shrugged. "I plan to teach them chess to train their brains in a couple of days."

"Well, thank you."

"You can count on me!"

He was eager to make his wife smarter.

Charlotte just gave him a smile.

Shane was sleepy at first, but when he saw her getting closer and closer, he immediately opened his eyes and got up. "Miss."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. She then reached out to caress his hair, saying, "Would you like to go upstairs and sleep?"

"All right."

Shane followed Charlotte upstairs.

Freddie looked at the backs of the two of them and tilted his head. "Father, look at Ms. Emerson and Mr. Fuller. They look a little strange." "Aren't you a genius? Can't you tell what's going on?"

"Eh?" Freddie was puzzled.

"Mr. Fuller has lost his memory."

I see. No wonder Mr. Fuller didn't call Ms.

Emerson by her name.

"Both Sheryl and she call me Freddie."

Freddie spoke so softly that only he could hear himself.
