Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 46

Two hours slipped past.

In the ladies' room, Yuliana anxiously gave Elaine a call.

"Sis, how's it going? I won't be able to hold him back any longer."

Elaine had already checked everything she could get her hands on.

At that point, there were no excuses left.

"Get in the car and come pick me up," Elaine instructed.

After ending the call, Yuliana hurriedly got everything together and left the ladies’ room. Cole, who had been anxiously waiting outside for a while, greeted her as she came out.

"Miss Yuliana, is everything alright now? Can we leave yet?"

He had yet to bring the report back to the company. If the president were to find out about this, there was no doubt that he would be in big trouble.

"Well, let’s go. Can you pick my sister up on the way to the company as well?" Yuliana asked with a sweet smile on her face. That was an unusual sight as Yuliana almost never smiled at Cole.

Did Yuliana sh*t her guts out?

There wasn't even a hint of arrogance as she spoke, and to top that, the smile on her face was ever so amiable.

Did she suddenly become a better person today? Cole was flabbergasted, but seeing that Yuliana was willing to leave, he was utterly delighted and didn't think much of her peculiar behaviour.

Plus, Yuliana's sister was the first lady of the Emerson Corporation, so naturally, no good would come by if he were to offend someone like her. Besides, if the Fuller and Emerson families were to unite by the bonds of marriage, then he, a mere nobody, would be the one at a disadvantage.

As the car pulled up at their first destination, Elaine climbed into the car.

Elaine was completely different from her sister. On top of meticulously planning out how she would behave around different people, she never half-assed her fagades. In fact, she was always very pleasant and kind to everyone.

'T m really sorry for the trouble, Cole," she apologized to Cole with a smile on her face.

Cole nodded in response as he concentrated on his driving.

Just then, Elaine took out a document from her bag and handed it to Yuliana. She pointed at the folder with the report, hinting Yuliana to switch out the original with the one in her hands.

Halfway through the drive, Elaine squinted at Yuliana.

Yuliana immediately caught on. On cue, she smacked her forehead as if she just remembered something important. "Cole, I forgot I had something I have to tend to. Can you please drop us up ahead?" she said.

Upon hearing that, Cole asked with confusion, "Miss Yuliana, weren't you going to meet the president?"

"Another day, another day," she dismissed with a wave of her hand. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Although he thought Yuliana’s behaviour was a little out of the norm, Cole still did as he was told and dropped the two sisters by the roadside.

A smile grew on Elaine’s face as she watched Cole drive away.

"Sis, what am I supposed to do? Shane has a daughter. What do you think I should do? Do I still marry him and become a stepmother?" Now that they were alone, Yuliana finally dared voice her thoughts.

'She's really no different than a headless fly.' Elaine rolled her eyes and said, "Who said Shane had a daughter? Have you ever seen her with your own eyes?”

"No, it was the report from earlier..." Yuliana replied, still flustered by the news.

But before she could finish her sentence, she noticed the confident look plastered on her sister's face. "Was it what you did just now?" asked Yuliana. Now that she thought about it, her sister's folder seemed suspicious.

"I had someone make a new report." Elaine couldn' t help but smile with content. "Charlotte Emerson, to think you're using your daughter as an opening to make a fresh start! Well, only in your dreams!"

It was just a few minutes ago when Elaine received confirmation from her private investigators that Sheryl Emerson was, in fact, Charlotte’s daughter. In addition to that, they also found out that she was four years old this year.

This was perfectly in line with the time when Charlotte ran away from home pregnant.

"What? That child is Charlotte and Shane's!" Yuliana shrieked at the shocking news.

Her voice was inadvertently much louder and passersby all turned to look at her in scrutiny.

Elaine's gaze turned into a fierce glare that silenced Yuliana right away. In a stern tone, she hissed, "I’m warning you, if you let that mouth of yours run and this news somehow reaches Shane, I

assure you that you will be well on your way back to the countryside!"

'The countryside?' Dread washed over Yuliana.

After living the extravagant life in the city, she would never go back to that remote countryside village.

"Don’t worry, Sis. My lips are sealed," Yuliana promised. "So, what should we do next?"

'Next?' Elaine thought to herself.

A dash of malice flitted across Elaine's irises, and her gaze fell upon Yuliana's stomach. "The next step will be for you to find a way to bear Shane's child."

With that, only would Charlotte's chance for a fresh start be completely wiped out.
