Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 194

"I..." Charlotte tried to explain herself further.

"Or give me the answer after Shane's wedding."

They were going to Shane's wedding?

Charlotte was scared out of her wits.

Rick continued, "Mr. Fuller gave me an invitation with both our names."

"Can I not go?"

"This wedding is said to be a set- up. According to some sources, Shane was threatened and this wedding was planned to let the person get close to him."

"Then isn't he..." Charlotte was surprised.

"Yes, he might die if something happens. Then, you wouldn't even need to make a decision."

Charlotte was quiet.

Rick picked up some spicy wings, placed them on the plate and ate them.

The spice was quite numbing.

It would make his stomach uncomfortable.

But it made his heart feel better.

"Okay." Charlotte suddenly became determined. "I'll give you the answer after the wedding."

Rick continued to eat his chicken wings.

Charlotte suddenly stretched out her hands and took his food from him. It was so spicy she spat it out after she took a bite.

Rick held his head in his hand and looked at her calmly. "Why did you steal my food?"

"I thought it looked spicy but you seemed to like it so I wanted to try it too," she said as she took a big sip of her soft drink. "It's so spicy."

"Are you stupid?"

"I'm just curious."

Rick smiled helplessly and said, "All right, enjoy your meal. There's still a lot of work back in the company."

"Sure!"

Rick's attitude towards her was neither cold nor hot, but Charlotte was already happy he was talking to her.

While their relationship did not return to how it used to be, he was no longer cold towards her. She couldn't ask for more. She just hoped Rick wouldn't be hurt.

It would be great if she didn't need to make a decision.

She really felt that she was not worthy of being with Rick.

On Shane's wedding day, the mainstream media reported on the news wildly.

The youngest and most promising bachelor in River City was getting married.

The bride was a celebrity with a dreadful reputation.

Charlotte didn't think much about it. She simply came here as Rick's companion. Her main purpose was to eat and drink as much as she could.

She thought that Shane's wedding should be very luxurious and spectacular but from the layout to the buffet, only one word could describe it -cheap.

Perhaps even an ordinary person would find it hard to accept such a wedding.

Moreover, why would they choose to serve a buffet-style dinner at a wedding held in River City?

People were walking back and forth. It didn't feel like the usual River City.

Besides...

Braden and Christopher weren't here...

"Rick, this doesn't look like Shane's wedding but my sore loser cousin's," Charlotte whispered to the man beside her.

This made no sense.

"We'll find out later."

She thought of what Rick said before about how someone was threatening Shane, she instantly felt uneasy and nervous for him.

Her gaze searched amongst the crowd.

She thought she would be able to immediately identify the person who wanted to hurt Shane.

As more and more people came, word started to spread on the internet.

Many people's reactions were similar to Charlotte's. They thought that this wedding was too simple and crude. It doesn't seem like Shane at all to be so cheap. Some even speculated that Shane must've not like Tiffany.

Soon, it came to the part for the announcement.

Everyone sat on the pews of the church, Shane and Tiffany stood in the middle, surrounded by flower girls and page boys.

The sun shone through the glass windows of the church.

The man was tall, handsome, and dressed in a black tuxedo.

The woman was wearing a white wedding dress. She appeared to look more pure and innocent.

Charlotte stared blankly at the two of them. The corners of her lips curled up slightly but the rims of her eyes turned red.

Such a beautiful scene made her heart fill with envy.

Suddenly...

She saw someone from the corner of her eyes walking through the sides of the pews. There seemed to be something in his hand. Her heart tightened and instinctively tried to get up.

"Don't go." Rick held her hand.

"Rick, that man is acting weird, he..."

"Are you going to leave me alone?"

However!

The man was getting closer and closer to Shane.

Charlotte's heart was about to jump into her mouth. She instantly broke free from Rick's hand and ran towards Shane.

In a split second.

She pushed him away.

Her long hair brushed across the tip of the blade.

In an instant, her long soft hair became shorter.

This hairstyle made Charlotte look even more stunning.

Shane held her in his arms and took a step back. He turned to look at the man with the knife and said, "Uncle, this engagement gift is too big of a surprise."

Suddenly, everyone stood up from their seats and rushed towards the man with the knife.

"Uncle? You still know that I am your uncle! Why did you sell Five Stars? You've ruined my plans and my life! You made me lose everything! You have to die! Argh! Let go of me, kill him! Kill him!" The man glared at Shane, his eyes red with fury as he struggled to hold his knife.

Everyone stood up and looked at the scene on the stage.

Rick also got up.

He didn't notice the tears that were flowing from the corner of his eyes.

It was not until he felt the cold wind against his face that he raised his hand to wipe away the tears. Then, he turned around and left.

On the stage.

Shane didn't care about the man. He raised his hand and ordered his men to take him away.

He looked at Charlotte in his arms and asked gently, "Why did you rush over?"

"Do you know how dangerous that was?" His voice became a bit colder.

"I just rushed over without a second thought," she sobbed and hugged him tightly, ignoring the fact that she was at his wedding. "I kept thinking about what I'll do if you died. I couldn't care less about the danger."

He was a god.

He was the god of her heart.

He was a god in Sheryl's mind.

How could anything happen to him?

"It's okay."

He gently patted her back with his lips slightly curved up.

The wedding was canceled because of this farce.

Shane had to take care of other matters and Charlotte couldn't follow him around so she walked to the lake by herself.

At that time.

She remembered that Tiffany seemed to have run away.

Tiffany had turned around and got off the stage. Then she was taken away by Shane's people quickly. It was as if she already knew what was going to happen.

She suddenly felt that she was so foolish.

No wonder Shane had arranged the wedding so simply. His goal was to lure out the man in the first place...

But she...

Her phone vibrated.

She came to her senses and took it out of her pocket.

"Look up and tell me your answer." It was Rick on the phone.

Charlotte's heartbeat slowed down by a beat.

She raised her head.

Rick stood in front of a bridge.

"Let's get married."

Suddenly, Charlotte blurted out these words. There was a hint of hesitation in her voice. She was taking a chance with him.

However, she didn't notice.

There was a man standing less than a meter away from her with a suit in his hand. He stopped abruptly in his tracks and looked at her in shock.

"Did you let him go?"

"I only realised Shane was just a god in my heart when I threw myself at him mindlessly. I was worried he would lose his place in my heart. I hope he would always remain as a god so I didn't want him to be defeated by someone else."

"However, love isn't worshipping the other person. It should be understanding, compromising and willingly sacrificing for each other."

"A moth flying into flame isn't true love but a foolish unrequited love. Rick, I don't want to take you for granted so let's get married. I won't hate you for this."

Rick looked at Shane, who was standing behind Charlotte.

Shane threw his suit on the ground and stared at him for a moment, then turned away.

He smiled.

"Do you know? I was going to say if you rejected me, I would jump down this lake and see what you would do then."

"How could you be so childish." Charlotte laughed.

"I don't need to be so childish now."

Rick slowly walked towards her.

Charlotte looked at him, then pulled him into her arms.

Shane was a high and all-powerful god in her world.

As for Charlotte, she chose to be a delicate and cherished woman in Rick's world.

This was actually quite good.

She touched her hair. It felt as if her feelings for Shane had disappeared along with her hair that had been cut off.

Perhaps the heavens had made a decision for her as well.
